La Digue Island Lodge

Surprisingly well developed resort complex. We really liked the beach & pool location as well as the very helpful staff, convenient location, ferry port transfer service, availability of rental bikes, etc.

We stayed in the standard garden room which was nicely decorated and with a very comfortable bed. We loved the beautiful garden and the greenery. The pool was clean and we enjoyed the pool bar and the seating in the shade around the tree. The beach is not really good for swimming but still nice. The food in the restaurant was good, standard breakfast and a nice selection for dinner. There was a lot of swings and lounge chairs spread around the beach, perfect for watching the sunset. We appreciated the ferry pick-up and drop-off service.

We stayed in one of the villas at Union Estate, which was very nice, directly on the beach and inside the gates of the union estate. We were in Takamaka villa and it was very nice in layout and everything we needed for a nice stay was there.

Location is perfect very close to the jetty and to the La Passe centre with shops, risto, atm points. We stayed 4 nights. Room at Yellow House was smaller than the inside bathroom, provided by shower and bath, but comfortable enough. Cleaning service precise and good. Swimming pool very appreciated after all day to the sea. Breakfast was good for our needs and expectations: tea or coffee served, fruit juices, fruit salad, bacon and sausages, ham and cheese, homemade jams, croissants or danish, bread, omelette, different cooked eggs. Dinners at buffet were a little bit repetitive but once again, depends on expectations: menu based on soup of the day, one living cooking per night (shark steak, squids,etc), basmati or saffron rice, pasta (not Italian taste), vegetable steamed or mixed fresh salads, fishes or chicken or lamb steamed or creole mode cooked, desserts cakes, fruit salad, ice cream

Nice garden chalet #37 close to the reception, restaurant and pool. Very friendly and heloful staff both at the reception and at the restaurant, security etc. (clearly 10 out of 10). Small supermarket right next to the entry gate as well as bike rental (SCR 100/day). Delicious takeaway (Monday-Saturday) at ca. 300m distance and many more in town (a bit further away). Drinks in the hotel restaurant at a reasonable price. Breakfast and dinner were included - ideal for us (me and my 10 y.o. son). Nice selection of food every day (I don't share the comments where people hyper-complain about the food. The level of the restaurant is good.)
