Good spot but very expensive
We enjoyed our stay for 3 nights but it certainly isn’t 5* but the restaurant prices are for mediocre food! We were on B&B basis thankfully so after first night ate out at excellent local restaurants at sensible prices. You need reef shoes on the beach and in the lagoon but even just standing you can see a great array of fish so snorkelling is excellent. We even saw a humpback whale just beyond the reef.

Mixed experience
Lovely location and staff were all very helpful and friendly, food was also good. However as other reviews have said the rooms could certainly do with an update, they're not 5 star quality. Also it was our honeymoon which we'd told them before arriving - they said by email that we could have some 'freebies' on production of our marriage certificate but there was no mention of it when we checked in or at any other point during our stay and so we were never given the opportunity to prove that it was our honeymoon and receive whatever 'freebies' they were offering. In comparison, the hotel where we stayed next in Mauritius offered us on arrival the opportunity to have a complimentary candle-lit dinner and provided us with champagne and other gifts, without requiring us to prove that it was our honeymoon.

Good location and resort amenities but not 5 star.
The location of the property and general resort amenities are good, but the resort is not a 5 star standard. Probably a 4 star at best. Rooms are small and in-room amenities are limited. Room servicing and maintenance also not up to 5 star standards and needs management attention.

6/10 Okay

Certainly not 5*
Nice location on the beach with a great concierge service. However it is sorely let down by terrible service in the rest of the resort and small rooms that are in desperate need of refurbishment. Neither the service or rooms approach 5* level and some serious improvement is needed.

Good Value
The hotel itself is beautiful and situated on the beach which was great. The room is nice enough with a tiny bathroom. The sink consumed the counter. The bathroom amenities are lovely. The food is great. The wifi is horrible in the rooms. The service is just off but the night manager is outstanding and I wish I remembered his name. When my driver didn't show up at 4 am to take me to the airport, he was completely on top of it. The hotel hosted a company event while I was there. It consumed the bar area and then took over the beach restaurant. I felt like an outsider despite paying top dollar. That is ridiculous and unacceptable. That said, the hotel is a great value for the accommodation and I recommend it.

Don't expect a 5-star service
Hotel is a little in need of refurbishment. Room was decent, though the first room we were allocated was right at a far end of the resort which didn't make sense when there were empty rooms closer to the main building. Wifi was not working in our room and when we called to address this issue at 3pm, we were told we had to wait till the next day for someone to attend to it as there was no one working on a sunday. This was not acceptable services for a five-star hotel, and we raised our displeasure and asleep for a room change. Only then were we given a new room much closer to the main building with fully functional wifi. Apart from the above, this is a pretty normal hotel and I didn't feel we received any exceptional service being in a 5-star hotel. In fact, I felt I got better service in my stays elsewhere on Reunion Island where the hotel rating is below 5-stars.
