French West Indies Hotel with Pool

"Room could be improved "

"My wife and I have travelled a great deal. We spent 6 days at La Playa - I am not sure they could have been any better. From easy, friendly check-in, amazing beach with lots of chairs and umbrellas, a FANTASTIC breakfast, and a great bar/wonderful lunch choices...and right next door to amazing restaurants and a grocery store. This place is a 10. Katy runs an amazing property and we can't wait to go back."

"Unmatched service and privacy. Incredible "

"Breakfast was tasteless, room was old and rundown, needs to be renovated. The only good thing is that we spent 1 night for a cruise and couldn't wait to leave the next day! Will not recommend staying here...the pictures on expedia are deceiving!!!"

"No enough parking "

"Room was clean - everyone friendly - plenty of parking- "

"Stunning views and lovely beach. Property is well maintained with pretty gardens. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Our oceanview suite was large and comfortable."

"This was our first time staying on the French side, at Esmeralda. Overall, it is a decent resort; it consists of small villages, each containing four guest rooms. The rooms themselves are spacious and clean, and every village shares a swimming pool among its four units. The resort grounds feature a French restaurant serving very delicious food. Another nice perk is that the resort has its own private beach area, for which you can make reservations. There is a designated parking spot right next to your village, which is very convenient. Now, for the things we didn't like: First, beach towels are issued only at the reception desk, which is located quite far from the beach itself; if you need to exchange a towel, you have to walk all the way back to reception. Second, regarding the "included breakfast": in reality, it does not correspond to a "continental breakfast" as we understand it in the American sense. The breakfast offering consists of coffee, a small croissant, and jam, along with one type of cereal and a yogurt-like product that tastes more like sour cream. There is no cream cheese, no eggs—nothing of the sort; you have to pay extra for all of those items. We have stayed on the Dutch side many times, and the included continental breakfast there was a completely different experience. Third, beach reservations must be made either at the reception desk or directly at the beach itself. We made our reservation immediately upon arrival"

"Didn’t use the spa or car parking, the staff were very helpful for someone who doesn’t speak that much french"
