The hotel has a boutique feel to it. It's clean and private. I had an ocean view that was more like a parking lot ocean view. But I could see the ocean so I can't complain. The entire island has great food, especially the French side. La Playa has many great options that are walkable. The pool could be better here and needs some upkeep, but you of course have a giant ocean in its place. If you're a pool person, its pretty small, and I imagine it could get crowded during peak times. The staff was great and recommended many restaurants that were good outside of Orient Bay. They assisted with excursions that were also great. I would stay here again. Tip: Cash tips are often required at some restaurants. They don't always allow you to put the tip on the card.

We spent a week at LaPlaya and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The rooms are clean and fresh. The air conditioner worked wonderfully even at the peak hours of the day. The staff were very welcoming and did their best to accommodate us in every way. They provide you with beach towels and a liter of drinking water each day. (You cannot drink the tap water.) A couple things to know, they don't use top sheets or face (wash) cloths which may very well be an American thing, so bring a loofa or your own. We visited the breakfast buffet but weren't big fans of the runny eggs. We found the most amazing shop next door had the best waffles and crêpes and opted for that location for breakfast. The beach chairs provided are to the right of the attendant and you HAVE to be there early to get a good set up or you are placed in the back. (I mean 3 to four rows back) We weren't pleased that you could only sit to the right side unless you rent $$ the extremely empty left side to have the ocean view. While we were there it appeared a cruise excursion came and utilized the chair space one of the days. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will come again.

La Playa Resort in Orient Beach, St. Martin, offers an unparalleled experience of luxury and relaxation. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the Caribbean Sea. The resort's location right on Orient Beach provides easy access to the pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters that the area is famous for. The accommodations at La Playa are simply stunning. Our room was spacious, elegantly furnished, and equipped with all the modern amenities one could desire. The private balcony offered panoramic views of the ocean, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The resort's amenities are equally impressive. The resorts pool offering a serene oasis to lounge and soak up the sun. The onsite restaurant serves delectable cuisine, with a diverse menu featuring fresh seafood and local flavors. What truly sets La Playa apart is its impeccable service. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels pampered and well taken care of. Whether arranging excursions, providing recommendations for nearby attractions, or simply attending to the smallest of details, their attention to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Overall, our experience at La Playa Resort was nothing short of extraordinary. It's the perfect destination for those seeking a luxurious escape in the Caribbean, where relaxation and indulgence are paramount.

We had a wonderful stay at La Playa Orient Bay!! The room was clean and beautiful. The beach was fantastic and the staff was amazing. My only complaints were the service at the bar - the older bartender served people who arrived after us, before us. The breakfast buffet wasn't great. The beach umbrellas were rusted and gross underneath. Overall, I would stay again! The area provides many options for food and bars.

We enjoyed our Expedia VIP perks and were surprised by a room upgrade despite the property being fully booked. The staff was very courteous. The staff on the beach worked so hard to make sure the chairs were set up, the seaweed raked etc. I wish the property would have had a bit more variety in the breakfast - it was the same thing every day. The location to nearby dining was exceptional!!

We enjoyed our stay so much. The beach that it sits on is the biggest beach on the island, but is not crowded. The sand is silky and direct burn your feet. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are well-appointed, and while the hotel itself does not have a dinner restaurant, there is a village mall across the street that has a half dozen really good restaurants with a variety of cuisines. Many activities like parasailing, jetskis, boogie boards etc., are available just a short walk down the beach. The only complaint we had was that they have a rule about no outside food or drink at the beach chairs - which would be fine, except getting food and drink from the hotel wasn’t the easiest or quickest. Really nice clean hotel, right on the beach, and friendly staff. Couldn’t really ask for more. Highly recommend.

This resort is wonderful, great service, amenities, and area. Beach is wonderful, room spacious. My only small complaint would be the breakfast offering could be a little better and for longer time. Island time when wanting to sleep in it is difficult to prioritize breakfast before 10am when items are being removed by 9:50am already. I would come back though, great time in Saint Martin!
