We only stayed here for a night because we had an extra day in St. Martin after visiting Anguilla. The staff was excellent, letting us check in early and setting up late check-out without us asking after they asked the time of our flight the following day. It's a great-looking facility with greenery and a good breakfast/bar area next to the beach.

Very relaxing stay.
I had an excellent experience here. It is right on the beach but is walking distance to several highly rated restaurants. The hotel is very quiet and well-maintained. The staff was very helpful and friendly. A cab ride to Grand Case is $20. I also appreciated that my room had a mini kitchen with a small refrigerator.
My only complaint t is that the coffee machine at breakfast is very fickle and I needed help to operate it.

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!!

A true piece of paradise! My best friend and I visited La Playa for a girls trip for three days and wish we stayed longer. The staff at La Playa are all very friendly, professional, positive and helpful. Room was clean and exactly as described/seen in the photos. La Playa is located within steps to the downtown of Orient Bay where you have many great dining options. The beach and beach service is to die for! Cannot wait to return.

A serviceable hotel
The staff flex between over hyping amenities (e.g. an “immaculate ocean view”, when the view is fine, but is obstructed and far from immaculate, to acting put upon for basic requests (e.g. ordering a good coffee from the bar at breakfast). The breakfast is fine, but you’d be better served going to another place around the island. This is a serviceable place but does not meet the expectations that were generated by the listing on the site.
