Fantastic first time in such a stunning country.
Absolutely devastated we have to return home today.
But we will definitely be back next year.
Staff all friendly and helpful.

We had room on ground floor, beach ,bar,pool all within a few steps away from patio seating area.
Food was varied and tasty.
Wildlife great to see especially large fruit bats flying around at night while sipping a cool drink
Only 4 mosquito bites so that's good .
Amazing, fantastic, superb !!!! See you next year !!!

Trou d'eau Douce Wonderful hotel, loved it! 1050616349 This is a wonderful hotel, I’m really shocked by the other reviews as we had such a wonderful time. The hotel is very clean, the grounds are beautiful. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, they went out of their way to help us, nothing is too much trouble. We had 2 garden rooms, 114 & 115. Both spacious, cleaned daily. The beach is lovely, no trouble getting sunbeds. If you want to snorkel walk along the beach to the left for about 10 mins, incredible fish to see. Food: I loved the food, good variety, my teenage daughter struggled to find something she liked so they very kindly cooked her French fries a few times, we just asked. The hotel has a lovely family atmosphere, it is quiet, a few evenings there were dancers or singers, but this suited us. There is a gym & free pool table. I’m surprised this is only a 3 star hotel, it’s far better than a lot of 4 star hotels in Europe. It’s really good value for money. I would 100% recommend it. We booked the 5 islands boat trip through the hotel, much cheaper than through online websites and a very lovely day out.

We had an amazing stay!

Long review here, to say everything that I wanted to read in the reviews here. First of all, the staff was really nice, smiling and helpful.

Rooms: it is a 3 star hotel, a bit old, but the rooms and bathrooms are quite spacious, bed is comfortable, you have smart Tv and good air-conditioning. The cleaning is done daily, so they sweep, arrange the bed and change the towels. Go for the ocean-view rooms, the price difference is worth it not just for the really nice views, but it is close to the beach, bar and restaurant.
Somebody said they have bed bugs: no, everything is clean, but you do get some bugs, remember you are at a tropical location. We saw a lizard, some crabs on the beach. This is not something that the hotel can control.

Beach: there is a small swimming pool, but they got their private sandy beach, with a lot of sunbeds on the beach and on the patio. No need to go and reserve a seat in the morning, like I've seen done (and hate). They put the beds and give you beach towels from 9 and the boat house near the bar. Liked that they put there in the morning an announcement with how the weather would be like.
A lot of people said it was windy. The whole east of the island is this way, research where you want to go. We liked how much wind we had because you do not feel the heat that much, so for us it was nice.

All inclusive: when you check-in, they give you a list with what is included in the package - a good list of cocktails, alongside the classic non-alcoholic drinks. The meals are o buffet type. Breakfast is the same, but is vast so you have from where to choose. We stayed a week and for lunch and dinner they do quite change it so we did not get bored. We really thought the food was nice and authentic for the region, but even if you are picky, you do find something to eat. Bar is opened from 10 to 23, please try their local rhum with vanilla.

Activities: they have a little gym, a pool table and could get board games if you have kids. They offer free water sports: paddleboat, kayak and snorkeling (you get them from the boat house where you take the beach towels). Also, we reserved beforehand a cruise on Viator, but canceled it and got one from the hotel much cheaper. So please talk to the reception about that. You can also rent a car from there, cheaper than at Sixt (50 euros for 24 hours). They can also book you a taxi.
Not at last, they have a entertainment show at dinner, not every night, but I think at a two day period. We caught some local music and dances that we really loved.

If you are looking to come here, I would recommend.

Fantastic, amazing holiday. Hotel had everything needed and provided excursions car hire taxis . Staff friendly and helpful. Room excellent location on ground floor ,steps away from beach pool,bar,dining room. Beautiful sea view.

We had 11 nights here and have to say we had a lovely relaxing time. Good size room and bathroom with walk in shower. Great view of the sea. We also had a ground floor room, as requested. Could do with a refresh, as a bit dated, but will say the room was beautifully cleaned every day. The staff are wonderful especially the bar staff and restaurant. A special mention has to go to Tivesh, Mia and the lovely restaurant manager in the morning. When we had early trips, she made sure we had breakfast to take away. Loved the cocktails especially, Pineapple daiquiri is a must. The downfall is lack of evening entertainment. The restaurant could do with a better menu, but must say we never found that there wasn't anything we couldn't eat. Just needs a bit of better planning. Great range of salads though. Lovely desserts as well, small choice,but enough for us.The guy in the hut who looks after sunbeds will also happily arrange any trips. The hotel also has it's own taxis outside if you want a tour around the island. The boat trips are also a must. All in all we had a wonderful holiday, in a beautiful place.

This hotel has the most amazing staff, I’ve literally never experienced such genuine hospitality at a hotel it seems effortless but yet wonderful. From the first day they remembered our names and greeted us like friends, my husband’s birthday was made extra special they decorated our table for dinner and made a birthday cake with candles. The hotel does need to be renovated just to make it more modern. The food is fantastic not a great choice but everything we have had has been delicious.
