Always something to look forward to and certainly understand about coming early to get better airfare.
If you are asking about La Plantation has a hotel, I can't comment. But I am presently just down the road for a return stay at Palm Court. A reasonably priced boutique hotel and the new owners have improved the property.
Highly recommended.
Good amount of seaweed on Orient. Not smelly, but have been enjoying great lunches and the beach in Grand Case.
