Yes, L'Hoste is now LaPlaya and Blue Bay Beach Hotel is now Orient Beach Hotel. Now sure how I mixed them up. We have stay at both hotels, under both ownerships. You can't beat the location at either hotel. Our first stay in the Village area was at L'Hoste and we really loved it, especially how close it is to the village restaurants and shops. After it became LaPlaya, we had an issue on our first full day there with one of their overly aggressive beach boys. Shortly after that encounter, we grabbed our drinks to walked the beach and we have been hanging out at Clun O ever since. The following year we stayed next door at Blue Bay Beach, now Orient Beach Hotel and never looked for anyplace else. Will be back again in March for two weeks. We do however still stop by LaPlaya most nights to meet up with friends for GP's Happy Hour before heading off for dinner. And by the way, we haven't seen that horn dog beach boy on Orient Beach since that year. Enjoy your trip gotaluvit !
