Comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast. Buffet dinners are also excellent and reasonably priced, with a variety of local and seafood dishes. The beach next door is nice with natural shade although not really swimmable except at high tide. Good wifi, straightfoward parking.

Relaxing, enclosed area, beach, good parking
Nice, quaet, clean, secure parking, easy beach access, enclosed area with well cept lawn, palms. Rooms with balcony or a porch. Wi-Fi wasn't strong in my room. Only reception staff can speak English (not breakfast, restart, bar). Overall, relaxing estetic place. I stayed at 4 hotels over my 10-day visit to Reunion, this was the best one. I would return

Die Unterkunft ist schön angelegt mit vielen tropischen Bäumen und Sträuchern. Das Zimmer war sauber und ruhig gelegen. Das Bad könnte aber eine kleine Auffrischung gebrauchen.
Das Frühstück war sehr eintönig. Es gab jeden Tag das Gleiche zu essen, überhaupt keine Abwechslung. Bei zwölf Übernachtungen wäre es doch wünschenswert.
Zum öffentlichen Strand kommt man durch ein Tor und einen kleinen Kasuarinenwald, indem vor allem am Wochenende die Einheimischen Picknick machen. Leider wird der Müll nicht immer wieder mitgenommen.
Der Strand ist voller Korallen, so dass wir uns dort nicht hingelegt haben.
Die Parkmöglichkeit war okay.
