Yes.....you have access to the beach but you are not allowed to use the La Plage pool area. Didn't matter to me as I preferred the pool at La Terrasse. You also have access to the restaurant at La Plage which is much improved. The unit I rented I originally found on VRBO but in emailing the owner, I found out they were on the island at the time. I was able to view the unit and then dealt directly with the owner when renting. Staying in the same unit this coming summer.
