Pros:

The location is great and the accommodation is generally good. We had to get the taps fixed and get the weighing scales working. Our real problem was the food - not interesting, not well prepared. In a place like that, food is very important.

Also, we informed the hotel two months before we went that there would be 3 people and not 4, but the hotel didn't reply, didn't pay any attention, and have refused to refund the cost of the fourth person. When we were there they promised to do something but didn't.

This should have been a wonderful stay, but it wasn't. And it wasn't cheap. Disappointing.

Insgesamt waren wir außer mit der Bedienung und Teilen des Essen zufrieden.
Pros:

die Ruhe, die Lage und die Größe der Anlage.

Cons:

Die Professionalität des Service Personals liess zu Wünschen übrig. Bestellungen wurden mehrfach falsch umgesetzt oder nicht ausgeführt.
Gemüsebeilagen waren fast ständig in einem rohen Zustand.

Paradise on earth
Pros:

The location was amazing with great view to the Indian Ocean. Though we couldn’t swim there because of the tide and the urchins, the views and the walks on the sand were spacracular. The food was really good and tasty. The people friendly and had great hospitality. I will definitely recommended.

Idyllique
Pros:

C'est un joyau. Plage gigantesque de sable blanc sans personne, villa (la 26) idyllique et sublime, en bord de plage mais tranquille et d'un raffinement fou... Un personnel aux petits soins.

Cons:

Les repas et les cocktails, vraiment pas à la hauteur du standing. Et le spectacle swahili qui enchaîne cliché sur cliché (les échasses, un serpent...).

can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay
Pros:

The staff were brilliant, our room was spotless, the bed was so comfy I want to know where it's from. The hotel is much more beautiful in real life than It is in pictures.

Cons:

nothing

Beautiful location, the diving is amazing
Pros:

Beautiful location

Cons:

There is slats in the door where many mosquitos get it at night. The staff close a mosquito net over the bed, but they leave the light on attracting even more bugs to the room.
Additionally, the Menus are very limited. There is one 3 options each day, and you can only order off that days menu. I'm vegetarian meaning I only had one option each night and was forced to go else where when I didn't want the option.
