Villa Koket in Glacis

A great place to stay, convenient public transportation to the city, daily housekeeping, nice walks on the area. Some sections at the beach to the left (north) are signalled as dangerous, owing to seasonal rip currents but there is another one farther north absolutamente wonderful. The manager Brian is a very interesting guy with some local stories to tell

This villa was booked on our behalf by a touris, agency. On arrival there was a bit of confusion but once I showed them the booking slip, which the agency did we were show to the appartment. We had a joined appartment to sleep 3 people. It is a self catering villa, which of course provides flexibility to the travellers to either cook or dine out. The villa is advertised as 3 star and it is indeed a 3 star quality. It is a small villa resort. We were welcomed with a refreshing lemongrass tea, and were given some basic in formation of local facilities. The beach across the road whilst it is sandy it is not suitable for swimming as it is rocky. under the waves. There is a shop only 10minutes walk and if you wish to go to Beau Valon is about 25 minutes if you want to get to Port Glaud waterfall is about 40minutes. It is at the top part of the island and close to Victoria and the airport, but you would need a car to get to places. In fact a rental car is the best way to travel. We found the staff at the Villa super helpful. We were there for a specific task and it involved needing some local knowledge, and both staff were able to tell us of the less known facts of the island. Breakfast is in under the canopy in the garden, we did not mind it. It is a communal affair, but then again you can still have your own space. We found the pool refreshing after a long day in the sun. With the villa being surrounded by lots of vegetation there are ants and snails about, and mosquitoes, but this is just showing that nature is welcomed. From our perspective we loved that.

The place was excellent me and my partner enjoyed our stay at villa koket we felt like part of the people living there during our time
Brian was an excellent host followed by the hostess who I didn’t get her name but she was also incredible what a trip to remember
The beach was just across the road heading the waves in the morning and at night was brilliant
As it was my partner birthday on the night we arrived it made her time even more special

I stayed here for 17days while waiting to fly out to D'arros island to work and what a lovely place to stay! Out of the hustle and bustle of the rest of the island lies this gem on the North. The sound of the waves lapping on the beach wakes one in the morning and lulls you to sleep at night. It is within walking distance of shops, a restaurant and off course the beach, but I would recommend having a car to explore the rest of the island. Brian, the manager, is another reason this accommodation suited me so well. What a character! A lovely person who will go out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and he will help or advise you with anything you may need. Brian, you surely will see ne again...

Very nice private owned hotel at "Anse Nord D'est". Two buildings holding each four appartements. Very new and clean. Everything you need is there for a pleasant self catering stay. Optionally you can get breakfast.The owner is very friendly and helpful.
The hotel is only separated from the beach by the North Point Road. The beach is nice but swimming not recommended in September, when we were there. The hotel itself has a small pool.
Beau Vallon Beach or Victoria are only a max. 15 min drive away.
Two stores for daily needs, the bus stop and a take away restaurant (only open till 2 pm) are in 500m walking distance.
(The Google place mark shows the hotel near Carana Beach, which is wrong. It is actually located at the northern part of "Anse Nord D'est")

Loved this place, it's a gem.
