Fantastic location on Orient Beach. The room i selected for my daughter and I was nothing luxurious but clean, welcoming, and convenient. And use the car service they suggest. Best deal and great group of people. Verry acomidating, even let me request a lady driver when my daughter went hanging out, on her own.

Don't hesitate to get your reservation in place because you'll have a great time at La Playa. The location is amazing, with the beach being just steps away from comfortable accommodations. The staff is friendly, the bar at the beach was outstanding, and the morning breakfasts were a great way to start our days.

La Playa is a beautiful beach front resort on the French side of St Maarten. Our second time here and love it. The resort is great , Elena, GP, Alexandra and the rest of the staff are very welcoming and attentive. Breakfast is included and lots of options to choose from. Highly recommend for a relaxing get away on a beautiful beach and Island.

I do not understand why this is rated a 4.9* hotel, it is good but definitely not luxury or upscale like I would consider with that rating. We were not wowed with this property as we have been with many other properties we have stayed. Location is good but I read that this is the only hotel "on the beach", I did not feel like it was either on the beach nor the only one in Orient Bay. The room was clean and comfortable, the best part of the room was the hurricane shutters that made the room completely dark. Breakfast was good, drinks were okay, the bartender was not the most friendly but whatever. If we return to St. Martin, we will probably try a stay on the Dutch side for a fair comparison.

My wife and I have travelled a great deal. We spent 6 days at La Playa - I am not sure they could have been any better. From easy, friendly check-in, amazing beach with lots of chairs and umbrellas, a FANTASTIC breakfast, and a great bar/wonderful lunch choices...and right next door to amazing restaurants and a grocery store. This place is a 10. Katy runs an amazing property and we can't wait to go back.
