We got an amazing and unique experience, when staying for a week at this hotel. Denis (owner) was beyond compare, and we feel ourself as old friends of him. He is very unusual person - full of kindness, wisdom and patience. IMHO, everyone from his clients feel as he/she is member of Denis family. When you visit your friends, you will never tell them that something is not as you expected, so we cannot mention anything that didn't match - this is very small and unimportant things. Denis is a big fun of cuisine, so each evening he gathers those who wish around the common table for the wonderful dinner. During this dinner people from different countries are able to communicate. Location is great. You will get nice beach bag and special towels. Thanks a lot for a great time. Ludmila&Gregory

The unique thing about this property is that Gert and Marlene treat everyone as individuals and you soon feel part of the family. They have really taken on board the Mauritian way and that translates into a really relaxed vibe. Wonderful food and a great night's sleep! Highly recommend if you want an authentic experience that is a stone's throw from a paradise beach!

I had a big tasty fish with rice and vegetables when here. You can sit on a bench and look out at the sea while you eat. If you just fancy a cheap snack, nearby are people selling roti and pakora from the front of their homes too.
27.12.2017 Dan
They had absolutely nothing that they proposed on the menu, and the waiter wouldn't even tell us. Then, instead of rice (which we said about 3 times) we got about 5 french fries each. I'm not even kidding. We were 5 and they gave us only 4 cups. After the disappointing meal, the manager came and told us that we should have ordered something else, that it's soooo much better. Such a joke really. Ok, it was the 25th of December, but if it's in these conditions, please don't bother opening.

Great place run by friendly family. Did eat here twice, absolute gem and a true authentic experience
28.11.2017 Robert
Beautiful food in a relaxed, no thrills setting. Not a fancy affair but certainly a filling one. Well worth your rupees.
