Beach Plaza has a good location, but a horrible view. Visited: January 2007 Posted by snowbird This hotel was given four stars by our tour company, but only two-and-a-half on other sites. I agree with the latter. We were minutes walk to the lovely restaurants of the Marina Royale, which was the biggest perk. On the downside, we got a bottle of water when we arrived - but that was it. Once we asked the maid for a bottle, she sent us to the front desk, who sent us to the restaurant, who referred us to the barman. He then said there was a charge for a bottle of water. Given that these bottles retail for around $1.00, we couldn't understand why they couldn't give a bottle each day. As for the view... On the ocean side it was spectacular, but you had to pay a lot extra for this. Those on packages got a view of a boat repair yard, and, in our case, a huge mud puddle and garbage buckets. Plus, it faced the noisy two-lane main road. Forget about going out onto your balcony for a cocktail. The staff was okay, but a bit cold and impersonal. After traveling on the local bus, we surmised that was how most locals were, so it wasn't anything personal. The breakfast buffet was very good with lots of fruit, a basket of three brioches, cold cereal, toast, eggs, bacon, good coffee and weak juice. The swimming pool was a bit small for laps, and too cool for most but the hardy Canadians. There were lots of chairs on the small beach. The ocean wasn't great for novice swimmers, as you hit rock soon after entering. The maids were fine, but once I left a tip with a note asking for water and she left the note and the tip on the bed. The workout room was very small but functional. The in-room fridge and safe were much appreciated. As for safety, be careful! There were a number of purse snatchings and thefts while we were here, and we saw the local police in our hotel. The hotel told us about this, and said to keep passport and credit cards in the room safe; to not wear jewelry; and to watch out for local youth on scooters and bikes later in the evening as well as groups or two or more locals who are walking towards you after sundown. Overall, we were very mixed on this resort. 3 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? The Beach Plaza Hotel is basic, convenient and offers sounds of the ocean. Visited: March 2006 Posted by lmajma My wife and I stayed at Beach Plaza Hotel for three nights. If you're looking for deluxe accommodations, a great on-site beach or activities galore, this is not the place for you. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Unlike many resorts and hotels on the island, Beach Plaza was located in the capital of the French side of the island, Marigot. The hotel beach was small and rocky, and we never set foot on it. It was within walking distance from a great selection of restaurants (including our favorite, St. Germaine) mainly featuring french cuisine. Some of the staff spoke English, but some - only French. The same was true for restaurants and stores in Marigot, so knowledge of a few words in French will do you well. Most of the guests were European. You definitely need to get an ocean-side room. We slept to the sound of waves, which was wonderful. The other side of the hotel oversees the main and busiest street in Marigot. This was a great location from which to explore the island. We were happy to only need to drive through the Dutch side on the way to an from the airport. The Dutch side was far more Americanized, and not in a good way. There were several great beaches, our favorite was Baie Rouge, which was only ten minutes drive from Beach PLaza Hotel. Baie Oriental was the most popular and was worth a visit, though it was pretty crowded and about 20-25 minutes from the hotel. 4 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful.
