7 days in paradise!
Really loved this resort, and the island. Our suite had everything we needed and was super comfortable. Lived the small kitchen and that the toilet and shower room was separate. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Right on the beach, and the pool was fabulous too. Would definitely go back!!

The property is scheduled for remodeling post my stay. It was comfortable with most necessary amenities. An older property. Cute little swing with in pictures was not at the property. The restaurants around the property were delicious. A few stray dogs like to hang around.

The front desk staff are wonderful!! However… the staff at the restaurant and bar leave something to be desired. Not friendly, not helpful, and they watch/stand over you at breakfast. It felt as if we were annoying them by simply wanting to eat there.

This is our second time staying at La Playa. Staff was amazing. Rooms were clean and spacious. Breakfast was very good with plenty of options. There is a good amount of seaweed this time of year but it didn’t affect our stay. Overall great resort. Will definitely return

Disappointed
We were so disappointed with La Playa this time. In November 2023 we stayed at this hotel and loved it, so we decided to go back and spend another week, even though it was much more expensive than other hotels in Orient Bay. Apparently, the management was never there. It seems that housekeeping lacks training, and they would come in at odd hours. (one day at 9:00am, another after 3:30pm) They never change the water for the mops, taking the dirty water from room to room. Furthermore, they only changed the bed sheets after 5 days because I asked them to. The vane of the A/C was falling apart so we asked them for some tape to fix it and stop it from falling. Hopefully all this will be better after the coming renovation. We had to buy our own paper towels and dishcloths for the kitchen, as they don’t supply you with any, and our entire sink area was full of water due to the leakage of the coffee maker. What’s the use of a complete kitchen with detergent and sponge and nothing to dry the dishes/utensils with? The pillows were lousy. The rules for using the beach loungers and umbrellas seemed to have changed: you cannot take any of your own snacks, not even water. You must use their restaurant that now belongs to a separate owner. (this isn’t disclosed when making reservations and not standard in other St Martin hotels, where we have been coming to for the last 25 years). As a precaution for being rainy season, they taped out 1/3 of the parking spaces within the gates in case it

We loved La Playa! The staff was great-anything we requested was handled very promptly. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Terrific shower with large rainhead as well as a handheld. Always hot water (some other hotels we have stayed at in St. Martin not always the case). Very comfortable bed and excellent water pressure. Wonderful buffet breakfast with loads of options. Lovely beach restaurant and comfy beach chairs. I also had a wonderful hot stone massage with Nya.We have already booked our next trip!

It is an expensive hotel but very cheaply operated. Wi-Fi had to be logged onto every time you use it, breakfast was very common, no variation from day to day. Cockroaches were in the room, they are too cheap to clean the seaweed from their section of the beach, except when cruise ship tourists are coming. Not a good value for the money!

My wife and I spent a week at La Playa Orient Bay and absolutely loved it. The property is not exactly “upscale” or fancy but is definitely nice, clean, and very comfortable. It’s steps from the beautiful beach and an easy walk to numerous quality restaurants of various cuisines as well as a small market. Also loved the beach bar and its friendly French proprietor GP. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only small negative is that other properties are much closer than they appear in the pictures, but that didn’t detract from our stay at all. We’d love to go back.
