The food was amazing. All freshly made and simply incredible. Reception staff were great and very helpful with information and immediately dealt with any little questions. The hotel only has 13 rooms but if you’re lucky enough to stay here you won’t be disappointed. Because it is so small in size the staff got to know you really quickly and without exception you were made to feel important. read less

Transfer from the airport is about an hour.
There are 13 rooms, 10 standard suites, 1 duplex, and two penthouses, one of which is occupied by the hotel owner. The guests are approximately half english and half french.
Meals are al a acarte, with full waiter service, you order lunch and your evening meal at breakfast. The food quantity is more than adequate, the presentation - artistic, the taste - well gorgeous and the service very good. There is a requirement for men to wear long trousers for the evening meal.
The hotel is clean and the gardens well maintained.
I would like to thank not just the waiters and bar staff, but the security team, the gardeners, the cleaners, the chefs and the front office staff, all of whom happily talk to guests and make you feel part of their family.
And one final mention - Maurice, the ginger hotel cat - he only appears at meal times, he doesn't beg for tit bits, but his eyes do control your fingers to provide him a small snacks. read less

We were taken to our room and was impressed by the most amazing view from our window. The room was spacious and comfortable and we were very pleased with our choice of hotel.
However, after going to catch some rays, we were aware that the establishment were erecting a massive marquee between our room and the beach. We were given a letter to say that a 5 day Hindu wedding would be taking place from the following day. Where this was a cultural experience it wasn’t what we were expecting and to be honest being in an exclusive intimate hotel didn’t really want to be pushed to one side to cater for guests coming over from the sister hotel opposite. There were at times were we couldn’t use the beach or the beach bar as the wedding took over. Whilst we were eating children and adults were walking past which was quite uncomfortable especially when the hotel has only 13 rooms, so you can imagine, that wasn’t great.
However, the food was absolutely amazing, the staff were fantastic and it felt like we were all a family. The bar tenders/waiters knew what we wanted before we did! The staff really do request massive shout out, they made our stay. So here goes:
Dunno - you are funny, look after your beautiful fiancée and good luck with your wedding in November.
Daniel, thank you, keep smiling and thanks for the macarons!
Axel, let your cheekiness flow, don’t listen to Dinnoo too much lol.
Kushi you are a star, and your personality and friendliness was great.
Tauckoor and Ishfaaq thank you for your kindness and remembering what our tipples were! Weak shandy!
Karishma and Hanshini, you are both amazing, kind, friendly and beautiful. Thanks for my henna hand design, amazing job.
Mr Florian and Sanjay thanks for listening to my concerns whilst we were staying with you and appreciate your offer of a GREAT deal the next time we visit.
We also met some amazing holiday makers Paul & Lynne, Sue & Sean, Kyle & Hannah and the newlyweds Andrew and Francesca. All in all great holiday, would love to go back read less

The food is freshly made to order with a great variety to choose from.
The moment we arrived Karishma and Hanshini on the front desk made us feel at home. Tikoo and Daniel are so obliging in the restaurant along with Dinoo, Keshav, Axel, Shifaq and Khushi.
The rooms are spacious and well appointed and kept clean every day.
This is a beachfront hotel with a lovely white sandy beach right on to the Indian Ocean. A range of water activities are available included in your stay.
A Hindu wedding was taking place whilst we were there which did impact our first few days. It was a wonderful spectacle but did cause a few issues with space.
All in all a great time was had by all. read less
