Staff are on hand to cater to your every wish, from Breakfast, Morning Coffee, Lunch, Afternoon Tea served on the Jetty, Dinner and late night drinks.

Spotless acommodation, top class service and cuisine. Creole and international cuisine prepared by personal chef. Meals were freshly caught fish, seafood, salads and BBQ'd meals on the beach. meals are served on the large veranda of the larger bungalow.

The island is not suitable for disabled as it is built on and around giant boulders, so that the bare rock appears in the bedrooms and forms part of the bathrooms. Exquisite but needs balance and co-ordination.

There is a Jacuzzie in every room and boat that is always available, with a captain waiting to take you out diving or snorkelling.

There is a bottle of champagne in your room every day, and in the evening guests dress for dinner.

 
 

Travelogue The holiday was enjoyable by its sheer decadence. Everything was done for you; taken to islands where the staff cooked on a BBQ and served cold iced drinks, shown the sights and taken to see giant tortoises.

The island is very private and has beautiful white sandy beaches, which are sheltered by the palm trees. There are some private coves and at low tide you can walk to Praslin.

 

Must See Attractions

 
 

Eating Out

  • On the island, great Creole food
  • Cocircte d`Or Club
 
 

Fab Tips

  • No money is really required, everything is included. But if you walk across to Praslin at low tide you can see the locals and buy mementos; sarongs, nick nacks and postcards.
  • Pack swimwear, suntan cream and a hat for the day.
  • Dress up for dinner.
  • Dont forget your camera. You will never forget the turquoise blue of the sea and the sky, and dazzling sun dancing on the sea and the warm sand between your toes.
  • Be prepared to be pampered, and come home totally relaxed.
