Our Second Time Here
Nice facility, friendly, helpful staff. Great beach location on the laid back French side of the island. Walking distance to great restaurants. GP’s Place is exactly what a beachside bar should be attracting not only hotel guests but regulars. Already booked another week for next winter.

LaPlaya is a top notch destination. The rooms are well appointed, the staff are pleasant and attentive. Just a few steps out your door to the beach and beachside restaurant. Breakfast offers a wide variety of fresh fruits, hot & cold beverages, eggs & meats, pancakes, breads, croissants, etc. Orient Village is a few more steps away and offers a vast array of dining choices. You can't ask for a better location to stay at on the "friendly island".

An amazing 7 days! Beautiful and relaxing resort. Breakfast every morning was so enjoyable with the ocean front seating. The room was well appointed Ted and very comfortable. The staff went out of their way to arrange excursions and recommend dinning options, even made reservations and arranged taxis. This is an outstanding resort for anyone who wants to relax in a peaceful and simply panoramic beach front setting.
