Bleu Emeraude Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"If you are looking for an ideal boutique hotel with the best ocean view and is literally just a few steps away from the beach then this is the hotel for you!"
"It was a great beach vacation with my girlfriend, I highly recommend la playa for it’s proximity to a strip of private beach and restaurants within 1-2 minute walking distance. Catherine and Benedicte were a pleasure and gave great recommendations. The snorkeling excursion was fantastic - lots of sea turtles. We will be back again soon. Thank you for improving my French."
"El hotel es limpio, práctico y súper bien localizado para aprovechar la playa. Orient Bay es muy cómodo ya que tienes todo caminando y es súper seguro. Me encanta visitar este lugar. El staff es súper amable, la limpieza excelente y el desayuno es bien simple pero está bien. Gracias"

"We stayed here for our honeymoon, Our stay at this beautiful hotel villa was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. They were incredibly kind, helpful, attentive, and always willing to assist with anything we needed.
The grounds were absolutely beautiful and so well-maintained. Everything was clean, peaceful, and inviting, which made the entire property feel like a true little paradise. Our room was just as impressive—spotlessly clean, comfortable, beautifully kept, and such a relaxing place to come back to after a day out.
