Pros:

Joli établissement au bord d'une belle plage.
Néanmoins, le lieu est un peu isolé et ne dispose que de très peu de boutiques aux alentours (pour ceci il faut se rendre à Grande Case qui est quand même à 20mn env. en voiture et les taxis sont assez chers sur l'Ile).

Cons:

La qualité du petit déjeuner pourrait être amélioré

Orient Bay Stay
Pros:

Very nice location near Orient Village.
The included breakfast was good.
Beach was nice but orient is super windy with high surf.
The room was clean.
Staff were helpful.
I found the bed to be hard but that’s just me.
You do have to log into WiFi every time you use it which was a bit annoying .
Pool area was nice.

Relaxing vacation
Pros:

La Playa was very clean, quiet and we really loved being close to the beach. The
Breakfast was very nice as well, only wish we had full sized croissants instead of the mini ones. :) the staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely return.

Beware
Pros:

Beware of booking this hotel on line. You might think you are booking an available room, but the system appears to be that they will email you three days later to say the hotel is booked. They do this even if management is fully aware that the hotel is full.
