Hotel La Plantation was impacted by Hurricane Irma in September 2017. The hotel is currently closed and plans on reopening in early 2018. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean Ocean, the mid-range Hotel La Plantation has a privileged location. It's within easy walking distance of Orient Bay Beach and Orient Village, but away from the lively beachfront bars and clubs, so it stays quiet. All 53 rooms are spacious and bright, and include kitchenettes, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi (though it can be spotty). French doors open to wraparound terraces in each room and are a major bonus. Other features include a pool with a snack bar, a casual open-air restaurant, free continental breakfast, and the ability to charge some local restaurant bills back to your room. For something closer to the beach, it's worth considering La Playa Orient Bay instead, which has similar amenities at sometimes comparable rates.

**This resort sustained significant damage from *Hurricane Irma* in September 2017 and is currently completely closed. We will update our review as soon as we have more information.**The mid-range Esmeralda Resort is a low-key beachfront hotel with a colonial-inspired Caribbean vibe in Orient Bar. All 65 rooms are spacious and bright, with modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi, and iPod speakers. The highlight of the rooms are the private terraces around shared swimming pools. Most rooms feature only one king-size bed, so expect to see mostly couples here. There's an attractive restaurant for continental breakfast and French food. The restaurant sits next to the small communal pool, though most guests ignore it in favor of the stunning beach and beachside service. The nearby Hotel La Plantation offers similar amenities and a free breakfast in a more affordable package.
