Excellent breakfast, lots of drink choices and smoothies. Pool was great, didn’t have any challenges getting a sunbed.
The rooms were super clean, we didn’t see a single bug (which we were expecting). Had a gecko in the room who lived behind our tv who may have managed the bug situation.
Buffet was good but limited selection if you are, or have, a picky eater.

Good spot but very expensive
We enjoyed our stay for 3 nights but it certainly isn’t 5* but the restaurant prices are for mediocre food! We were on B&B basis thankfully so after first night ate out at excellent local restaurants at sensible prices. You need reef shoes on the beach and in the lagoon but even just standing you can see a great array of fish so snorkelling is excellent. We even saw a humpback whale just beyond the reef.
Lovely location and staff were all very helpful and friendly, food was also good.
However as other reviews have said the rooms could certainly do with an update, they're not 5 star quality.
Also it was our honeymoon which we'd told them before arriving - they said by email that we could have some 'freebies' on production of our marriage certificate but there was no mention of it when we checked in or at any other point during our stay and so we were never given the opportunity to prove that it was our honeymoon and receive whatever 'freebies' they were offering. In comparison, the hotel where we stayed next in Mauritius offered us on arrival the opportunity to have a complimentary candle-lit dinner and provided us with champagne and other gifts, without requiring us to prove that it was our honeymoon.
This is the place to be.
Make sure to book a massage in the free nature which includes the sound of the sea, the birds and the wind. Comes close to heaven.
Chambre avec vue sur jardin.
Tout était parfait excepté 2 points:
- la salle de bain mériterait un rafraîchissement
- le restaurant buffet a été fermé 3 jours sur 5

Séjour globalement positif en raison de :
- la situation de l'hôtel en bord de lagon, doublé d'une superbe piscine,
- l'amabilité, la disponibilité et le professionnalisme du personnel,
- la qualité et la variété des repas et menu, avec une mention particulière pour le restaurant "la plage" en raison du soin apporté à la confection et la présentation des repas.
La note véritablement négative, avec la déception qui va avec, provient de l'état de l'hébergement qui n'est absolument pas à la hauteur d'un établissement présentant 5 étoiles. Les chambres et leurs équipements sont terriblement vieillissants : meubles très défraîchis, salle de bain complètement "hors d'âge" (baignoire abîmée, pommeau de douche plus que vieillissant, moisissures dans les recoins et sur les joints silicones), équipements électriques à la limite de la sécurité (spots branlants dans la salle de bain, interrupteurs défectueux, fils dénudés sur les luminaires de chevet, ...). Il est clair que sur ce plan, malgré les qualités citées au début de ce commentaire, cet établissement ne pourra continuer à faire l'économie d'un programme de réhabilitation des hébergements sans risquer de perdre une clientèle qui attend que TOUTES les prestations soient irréprochables, dès lors que 5 étoiles sont affichées.

La chambre était sombre , mauvaise aération
Odeur d’humidité
Rafraîchissement à prévoir
Skønt hotel med direkte adgang til dejlig strand. Dog ret groft sand, så husk badesko.
Service er helt i top. Alle personaler var utroligt venlige og hjælpsomme.
Maden var skøn.
Værelset var dejligt stort - juniorsuite - med balkon med havudsigt. Dejligt stort badeværelse. 2 køleskabe. Velkomst champagne på værelset.
Hôtel bien placé sur l'île et lagon très agréable, personnel exceptionnel, efficace et professionnel, excellente nourriture, Bonne literie.
Infrastructure vieillissante a rénover car indigne d'un 5 etoiles (sanitaires et décoration), tonic trop cher.
L’accès direct sur le lagon est une merveille ! L’hôtel est très beau, le jardin est magnifique et le personnel charmant…
Nous y avons passé un superbe séjour !
Super séjour dans cet hôtel au dessus de nos attentes. Le cadre est juste magnifique, le personnel d'une extrême gentillesse. Les repas sont variés et excellents. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir

Pas au niveau d’un 5 etoiles
Agreable et bien placé mais clairement pas au niveau d’un 5 etoiles, les chambres ont besoin de rafraîchissement, et l’attention au details n’est pas au rendez vous (traces et taches sur les murs, tv datant de 20 ans, porte serviette branlant, etc). Le service est acceptable meme si les restaurants sont fermés certains jours
