We really enjoyed our stay at La Playa Orient Bay! It was myself, my husband, and our 2-year-old son. The staff were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. We loved the breakfast buffet, and the pool was large, clean, and perfect for relaxing, especially with a toddler. Unfortunately, during our visit, Orient Bay was quite windy and wavy, with a fair amount of sargassum, so we really appreciated having access to such a great pool. The location is excellent—just around the corner from the charming Orient Bay village, with lots of great restaurants within walking distance. There's also a convenient supermarket nearby. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Lovely property right on the beach. Rooms are large & have a great kitchenette & refrigerator. Bar & dining are excellent. Great buffet breakfast with many options including eggs, pancakes etc. You have chairs & towels provided & there is drink service to the beach. The area near by has a grocery & several dining options. What would be nice in thè area is maybe a little more shopping options & maybe a bar/lounge for the evening other than Bikini Beach or the irish pub. Driving to Phiilipsburg or Marigot is not for the faint of heart. The beach area is clean & well kept, however in June it did suffer from seaweed as did most of the islands in the Carribean. The hotels etc do what they can but it is mother nature.

The hotel was very nice. Room was spacious and clean but there is barely a view of the ocean because of how the buildings are situated. The food was decent, it was the same breakfast every day. Staff was lovely and helpful and there are plenty of dining options behind the property. Beach was nice but unfortunately there was a lot of seaweed the week we were there so we went to other beaches instead-not the hotels fault.

This is a lovely hotel. Front desk staff are wonderful as is the bartender. The resort has large and comfortable rooms. There are some downfalls to be aware however. First is the large amounts seaweed coming up from the beach, note this is the only beach I had this experience at in SXM. Secondly, and this may have been my isolated experience, but there are stray dogs around that kept defecating on our patio everyday. And in the building closest to the spa there were large palmetto/cockroaches running around the walkways every day at dusk.... a bit unsettling. I would say regardless, La Playa is still an excellent option in Orient Bay.
