After reading some negative reviews that we thought were petty we gave L"Hoste a try and were pleased that we did. It was a wonderful resort, the staff was extremely helpful. The continental breakfast was perfect and included croissants and baguettes, juice , yogurt, cold cereal, coffee/tea....The beach bar had good lunches. The resort is right on the beach which... More

Older hotel on very popular beach. My son and I stayed here for 3 nites and had a chance to evauate the area. Staff were great - very friendly and helpful. Room was cleaned on a daily basis but on arrival, lysol odor was so heavy, we had to leave doors open for hours. Probably more Americans in area than... More

The hotel was nice and was close to the beach. There were thefts from rooms during our stay. After being publicly ridiculed for bringing beer from another bar to our beach chairs we decided to go elsewhere for our relaxation.It was one of the most embarrassing things that we have experienced while on vacation. The hotel staff were equally confused... More

Me and my wife stayed here for a week and loved every minute of it ! We did not have one single issue or problem. You come here to soak in the laid back lifestyle of the French side. If you are looking to chill at the beach, enjoy fresh rum punch and local flavor come to L'Hoste ! Trust... More

We stayed there in Jan. last year, and were pleasantly surprised by the level of service and the area it is in. Our 2nd floor chalet was very close to the beach and was clean and spacious. Every morning we would have an umbrella and 2 chairs set up for us right on the beach, sometimes we'd stay for lunch,... More

We stayed here from March 17-24th, 2012. Weren't sure what to expect so no huge disappointments. Had to change rooms because ground floor room had moldy odour and very noisy fridge. Were accommodated with room change after 2 days. Much better conditions in second floor room, although rust still present in areas, as well as some stains on sheets and... More

La Playa provided a great breakfast,clean and with smiling service.The location was great for... More

I just spent a week at the hotel with my husband and 11 year old son. I had read the reviews before going and was a little concerned but it was a lovely week. As promised the hotel has large rooms, nothing fancy with a kitchenette. The beds were firm and comfortable. We stayed on the main floor and while... More

As others have commented -- they have a serious water problem. Off completely once or twice for a major portion of French St. Martin and often low pressure at other times. We were at far end top floor unit. Approach to that building definitely needs work. The room was very nice, but often little water. Sometimes they were able to... More

Its in Orient Beach. Easy to find from the beach side; impossible to find by car! We were shown a room. Jan 2012. It seemed brand new and excellent high quality.with nice balcony towards the sea. Maybe not all rooms are renovated? Hotel itself seems a bit dated. Guests we saw were age 50 -60 so I think repeaters, always... More
