Jeff Berger's newsletter says that LaPlaya is open. Unless I didn't know where it was, it looked a LONG way from opening, as of the middle of June. Maybe part of the hotel is open but not the restaurant? No way the restaurant is open, unless we were totally in the wrong spot when we were looking??

Well, yes, that's what it says, but is the restaurant actually open? I don't see how it could be. Is there anyone on Orient can confirm that LaPlaya restaurant is open?

It is not open! We went yesterday for the "grand opening" and there was nothing there, not even a food truck. Now they say next week. We will not be lining up!

Thanks for the info, everyone. What about working on the actual restaurant? As there definitely didn't seem to be any work even going on there, as of the middle of June.

Problems with photos?? It is VERY easy to upload photos here to the SXM photo albums. I probably uploaded 50 pictures yesterday in a short period of time. You can then use the url to post the photos in a trip report.

Bruno posted there first customers on July 4th. Not sure if that was the food truck or the restaurant. The restaurant was AMAZING to say the least. I pray he brings it back. So many of the staff went back to France.
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Was looking into the rooms as I'm looking for something with a kitchen....but I'm not familiar with what a "hob" is?
Looks as if rooms at La Playa have an outdoor kitchenette....mini fridge and microwave. Is a hob a stove top? Yes, a hob is a stove top

BeachKitten--If it were ME, not sure a mini-fridge would be big enough for liquid supplies. Are we talking a dorm sized fridge?

We've made some friends who decided to extend their visit and needed to switch hotels, we recommended they check out La Playa, which is where they ended up staying. The rooms are really nicely done and the little kitchen is top notch. Really cool and efficient. The fridge is larger than dorm size. I will upload some pics.

The place we stayed in last had a similar fridge. The drawers were freezer drawers. The entire unit worked very well for our 4 week stay. Nice. Would like one at home lik that.
