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!

I enjoyed my stay at La Playa Orient Bay. The hotel is right on the beach. They provide beach chairs and beach umbrellas plus daily beach towels. The hotel is a few steps to a convenient store and next to a village of restaurants. We were received with a warm smile. Thank you Elena. Katy the hotel manager introduced herself to us and welcomed us to the island. Benedict helped us when we lost our key wrist for our room. Honestly,everyone we encountered at the hotel was caring and professional. They made our vacation so easy and enjoyable. The property is well maintained. Our room was cleaned everyday. We felt safe at night walking on the beach and through the hotel. We had a wonderful week and actually was able to relax Overall,extremely satisfied and hoping to back soon!

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.
