Love the area, grounds, beach and room. Food is amazing and the bartenders and waitstaff were always attentive to us and they remembered us from our last stay 2 years ago!! La Playa made our 7th wedding anniversary truly special. This is one of the best places to stay in St Martin. We can’t wait to come back!

The property was very clean and nice. The proximity to the village restaurants in the evening was wonderful. We tried many and had zero poor experiences. The food was fantastic. The sushi at the property was better than sushi at the local restaurant. Drink service on the beach was prompt. The front desk for excursions was top notch. Bring more cash than you need. No atms near by and tips along with cabs are all cash.
