Spiaggia dei baniani: Tour e Visite Guidate

Really nice structure in Saint-Pierre, one km from the city center (nice work to downtown but also practical by car). Hotel structure is not new but well maintained. Most rooms have view on swimming pool and only a few directly on the sea (even if also the other have side view to sea). Room are spacious, with terrace / balcony, and usual appliances / services. Suggested improvements: add more electric plugs and free coffee capsule every day (nonsense have two of them for free if one night stay, and the same two if two week stay). Underground parking is really practical as it is not always for grant to find a spot on the street, and payable only for first 2 nights (10 EUR per night) if you stay longer. We did not tried to restaurant nor the SPA so no comments on this, but it would be interesting in having a flat package for SPA access throughout entire stay instead of paying it a-la-carte. Pool bar is nice and open till late, infinity pool is beautiful with view over the ocean. Beach is not privatized but of immediate access from the premise and usually empty to have a taste of the laguna. Surrounding area is calm and nice with few restaurants and snack bars along the sea-side. Saturday market takes place next to the hotel. Downtown harbor, restaurant and shop are at reasonable distance (but preferable by car if you don't want to walk). Mall very close to hotel (you can even walk to it) and highway access in less than a km.

The hotel was clean and nice. But I was a bit disappointed on the overall look and feeling. It did not feel like a 5 star hotel. The lightning in the restaurant was awful, felt like sitting in a school cafeteria. And the spa was fully booked and the didn’t have anything to offer when it was bad weather. The only thing you didn’t need to book in advance was the pool outside. But it wasn’t heated so you could be there when it was bad weather. So if you should book this hotel you need to be prepared and plan and book everything you want to do way ahead. The food was amazing however!!!

Très bel hôtel dans un cadre exceptionnel. Le personnel très accueillant et très disponible. Nous avons mangé au restaurant et au bar et dans les deux endroits la cuisine était excellente. À recommander!
