La Playa Orient Bay

Excellent location, close to Orient Beach, shops & restaurants.

All good apart from VERY slow hotel wi-fi which frequently dropped out.

Gorgeous weather, extraordinary French food at extraordinary French restaurants in Orient Bay and Grand Cas, just down the road. Beautiful relaxing beaches with abundant sunshine and temperatures in the 80s..most food prices lower than in North America and I always felt safe on this island. Added bonus: Great French -inspired shopping in Marigot also. As close to France as you can get.

We had a garden view room that was spacious, VERY quiet and had a nice big refrigerator, cooktop and microwave. The beach is beautiful and chairs and umbrellas are plentiful. The staff were friendly and very helpful. A 5 rating would have been given if the breakfast was better. It was mediocre, at best. Price point for the resort was on the high end as compared to many other Caribbean island resorts we have stayed at. We had dinner at the restaurant one night and it was excellent. Great bakery right outside the resort gates. We would return!

Tout était bien.

Rien.

Everything

Nothing

Strand ist zwar ok aber viel zu laut. Liegen waren mehr wie gebraucht vorhanden und auch frei jedoch hat man uns "verscheucht" weil wir zwar auf dem Hotelgelände waren jedoch die Liegen sind kostenpflichtig. Es war weit und breit kein Gast zu sehen und trotzdem mussten wir uns Liegen in der hintersten Reihe suchen. Schade und für den Übernachtungspreis eigentlich undenkbar

La piscine trop sympa Làcces à la plage Le personnel plus que gentil et disponible

Le petit dej un peu succinct

Booked this St Maarten hotel for a five night stay in celebration of my husband's 50th birthday. At the end of the second night, we returned from dinner to find a HUGE roach in the bathroom. Upon closer inspection, there was also a baby roach.It was after hours and the front desk we were told at check in was open 24 hrs was not staffed.By the time security arrived, another one crawled into plain view in the sitting area. We were disgusted and insisted that our room be switched. Security obliged but this was short-lived. I emailed the Concierge immediately and did not get a reply. The next day we went to Reception to explain but they already knew because a staff member acknowledged getting my email and expressed no concern other to say forcefully "you cannot stay in that room, wait for the manager." We waited and met with the manager (Katy) who tried to tell us it's an island and bugs come with the territory. Her attitude was quite condescending and it was clear she was aware they had roaches to even insult our intelligence by saying that. We were informed that they were at capacity and we could not keep the new room. The only solution offered was to give us the original roach infested room. When we pushed back, her next resolve was to say if you don't want to stay here then leave. At this point, it was clear we were no longer wanted or welcomed. I do wonder if the treatment we received from Katy would differ if we were French or Caucasian. My husband and I are well traveled and have never had an issue with roaches during a stay. That is a clear lack of cleanliness and disregard to treat the problem. The only good thing that came out of this was the remainder of our stay was refunded. However, the lack of courtesy and professionalism was in bad taste. We ending up booking another stay and left. Bottom line is looks are deceiving and trust those few bad reviews. I went back and saw another guest in June 2025 had roaches as well. If I saw that prior, I would never have booked this establishment.

The rooms were modern and well-equipped. Very short walk to the very good buffet breakfast with your toes in the sand. Beach staff were exceptional. Actually all of the staff were exceptional. It is next to the square with all of the restaurants yet still feels secluded.

The room was great! Very spacious. The staff was very nice and answered all my questions. They are beachfront, and they provided the chairs, umbrellas and towels. They are also a short walk to all the eateries for dinner.
