Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included and meals in the restaurant were excellently prepared. A very nice little boutique accommodation. Not a fan of the cold showers and fans in the restaurant would benefit staff and guests.

Comfortable and modern

The staff were very pleasant and always helpful. The room was as depicted - spacious and comfortable. It was great to have a choice between a very effective AC or overhead fan. Mon Choisy beach was within easy walking distance and the bus stops are even closer with cheap fares and easy access to Grand Baie and beyond. There are also several restaurants/cafes within walking distance.

Bon hotel. Nous avons apprécié la convivialité des personnes a l'accueil et du chef cuisinier. Avant notre départ, le propriétaire de l'hôtel a même offert une crêpe a nos enfants. Nous avons pu profiter des palmes, transat et parasol de l'hotel prêté gracieusement. Merci !
