La Digue Island Lodge

Best beach location in la digue. The extensive gardens, the spacious A frame refurbished Chalet, the beach, the staff but not the food;) makes it in my opinion one of the best options in la digue. Pick up and drop off from the ferry ( La passe) terminal. Our A frame chalet was just a stroll throw from the beach as you can see on the pictures. Spacious accommodation, refurbished bathrooms, a mezzanine with extra space ( for kids) a nice terrace with sunbeds and a table. Not luxurious but very well in line with what La Digue : laid back, chill, barefoot cool vibes. The ladies are reception are so cool, the minute you arrive you are in the mood: You are on holidays. Open air lobby with wooden floor facing the gardens. Welcome drink on arrival and also the place to change your beach towels on a Daily basis. The restaurant is next door overlooking the beach with amazing views. Further up you will find the pool and a bar. Not used the pool at all as the beach in front of the property was great. Every morning the staff was removing the seaweed brought to the beach making the beach look pristine. Sunbeds are available all along the property and shade provided from the palm trees is very nice. Breakfast is basic and not much choice to be honest. You can rent your bikes at the hotel just by the entrance gate which is very practical 10€ per day and park your bikes just outside your accommodation. Also just by the gate there is a supermarket for your basics: sparkling water, nuts , fruits etc… The location being in the middle of the island makes it very convenient to go to each side of the island and away from the hustle and bustle of La passe ( island center, ferry quai etc) also being front line beach, the lodge is very appealing and sleeping with the waves noise is amazing. I can’t wait to go back. Loved la digue island lodge and loved the island

Location nice. The Staff dont smile at all and everything the do is slow. Order ice, it was melted when it arrives. The waiters mixing everyting. Food serves to wrong table. Serving 2 of one thing order once. Mixing bills. When we arrived the hotell our toilett didnt flush. After 4 repairs we demanded a new room. At the new room it took around 5 min to get hot water. The cleaning is ok, but one day the took our towels but not replaced it. Must call them 2 times before I could shower. The internet is bad and you have to login all the time. The pooltowels need to delivered the evening before to Get a new one.

Very good experience in a A-Frame beach chalet for 4 nights. Top resort, very well situated with a great pool. Also good food and very kind personal. Don’t read all negative reviews, be objective and test yourself! I recommend this place.

We stayed at La Digue Island Yellow House for two days to celebrate our wedding anniversary, but unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The customer service was very poor, and the staff behaved rudely several times. On the first night at around 9:50 PM, we called the reception and asked for a bottle of water as we needed it to take medicine. They simply said the water machine was not working, the F&B section was closed, and there was no water available. The staff rudely told us to “wait until tomorrow morning” for water. We had also planned a small cake-cutting celebration by the beachside for our anniversary. We only asked the staff for one simple help a lighter to light our candle. However, the staff responded very rudely and told us to collect one from outside shops. It was a very special moment for us, and this behavior completely spoiled the experience. The room cleanliness was also very disappointing. The bed and blanket were full of sand, making it extremely uncomfortable to sleep. The bathroom was old and poorly maintained. We understand that the property may be old, but it definitely needs proper cleaning and repairs. Also, on the day of check-in, they asked me to mention the check-out time, and I wrote 8:00 AM. They did not mention anything at that time. However, during check-out, when we reached the front desk at 8:00 AM, they informed us that the transfer to the jetty would only be available at 9:00 AM. If this had been informed earlier, we could have planned accordingly. Instead, we had to walk to the jetty with our luggage. Overall, the stay was not worth the money, and it was upsetting that our wedding anniversary celebration turned into such a disappointing experience.

We stayed in the Yellow House for 4 nights and it was the worst hotel stay we have ever had. The room we had was on the first floor, but it was a loft room, accessible via a tiny spiral staircase. Even the hotel staff had trouble getting out suitcases up the stairs. The room had no doors, AC Unit was under the window, so all the cool area was going down the stairs , so the landing at the bottom of the stairs was really cool, but our room was always hot , anytime day or night. A door would help to keep the cool air in. The bathroom, windows were really dirty, windows didn't close properly. In fact a very old bathroom, needs complete renovation, even this will not help with the rest of the room. We were getting lizards in the room, and we dont know where they were coming in the room from. The lizards made loud sounds which was unnerving! We understand that this is a very old property, however it is not suitable for guests to stay in. Th whole yellow house should be turned into an exhibition house showing the history of the hotel, which i guess would be interesting. The whole hotel is past it's glory days, and whilst staff are helpful, it does not seem to be very well managed hotel, and not up to modern day expectations The food is boring and unimaginative. The hotel occupies such a prime spot so it makes it even more disappointing that nothing is being done to bring this vast hotel to modern standards
