Our room was very comfortable with a seating area as well as king size bed. I loved the shower with the overhead rain head! Staff was very helpful in arranging transportation and in making sure our stay was pleasant. Breakfast was the same every day……more variety would have been nice. The beach area is one of the best we have been on! Plenty of chairs and umbrellas for everyone!

From check-in to check-out, our experience was fantastic. The staff was extremely attentive to our needs and requests. Making dinner reservations was a breeze with their assistance. The spa provided a pleasant level of relaxation and serenity. The resort’s close proximity to the cleanest section of Orient Bay was ideal. As avid world travelers, we found our stay at La Playa Orient Bay to be one of the most relaxing experiences we’ve ever encountered. A return trip is definitely in the cards.

For those looking for a good beach I recommend Grand Case location. Hotel staff was friendly . Due to flight situations (Venezuela) hotel did not credit or reimburse for the day late check in and told me to speak with Expedia. Called Expedia they told me deal with hotel . Run around. The manger could have been accommodated and at least give me credit to use for an extra occupancy t ( 2 night) not nice . The manger seemed nice but was not accommodating to our situation. Was not right and felt unfair. I would not recommend .

We have been to St Martin many times and this was the best place we have stayed, by far. The staff was amazing, the room was spacious and included a small kitchen. The location, on the beach, was also amazing. We can't say enough about the staff to include the reception, the maid service and the dining staff. You couldn't ask for better service from the gals in the dining are.
