    The location was not the best regarding swimming. It was rather like a lagoon that a sea except when the high tide came. In the area there are not many places to go.

    The Beach was basically private 😍 the apartment was beautiful

    The room was spacious, clean, comfy. The view from the room was spectacular, especially at low tides. Loved the little beach nearby and a close proximity to Anse Royal.

    No ventilation at kitchen zone - when you cook smells and smoke are everywhere in apartment.

    Modern design and well equipped. Nice view from terrace. Quiet place. Cleaning every day. Very good bed with perfect mattress - we slept very well. We grilled fish and veggies several times just in front of terrace and served dinner outside. You also can served great breakfast under the palm with ocean view!

    A car is almost mandatory to access restaurants and other beaches.

    A nice and modern apartment with an outstanding location a few meters from the sea and with its own beach.

    Maybe bathroom can be too hot due to less airflows from cooler, but not a big issue as also ventilated from bedroom area.

    Beachfront, garden, terasse, private palm tree, animals, snorkeling place, white sand, nice parking place, comfortable sunbeds, well equipped kitchen, good air-conditioning and cold fridge. Big bed and spacious bathroom.

    The bed was a little bit too soft for us but we could sleep, it was not a big issue. Location: in the area there is no sidewalk, so it's recommended to go by car even to the closest grocery store.

    There was a beautiful view from the apartman! We could see the sunrise from there. The apartman was equipped with everything we would need. The bed was a little bit too soft for us but we could sleep, it was not a big issue. Also there is a little beach connected to the property, we snorkeled there few times. For beginners it's perfect for practicing. Anse Royale beach is near, few minutes by car. In case we would visit Mahé again, we will definitely choose this apartman! Thank you very much for Freddy for his kindness and helpfulness!!

    Nothing not to like

    Absolutely loved our stay here. Beautiful modern apartments with a fantastic view. Freddie is a credit to the owners always happy to help with the biggest smile on his face. A couple of places to visit within walking distance takamaka rum distillery and the craft village but you really do need a car but well worth being a little off the tourist trail for the peace and quiet. Would highly recommend La desirade wish we had stayed here for all of our holiday instead of moving on to Praslin.
