This is the second time that we stayed at this extraordinary hotel – a beautiful little piece of paradise on the island of La Digue and a real gem in the Seychelles!
But what makes it so special?
For us, it is the beautiful tropical and untouched idyllic atmosphere, the typical island style and romantic design and the peace and serenity that simply radiates from here. Here, you can completely relax, unwind, enjoy the peace and quiet and just be. The extremely tasteful design and the beautiful natural scenery are a feast for the eyes and balm for the soul!
What makes it extra special in our opinion, is the lovely staff that always have time for a little chat and lovingly takes care of everything. Their friendliness is definitely not artificial, but comes from the heart. True to the hotel’s motto “Your home away from home”, the staff goes out of their way to ensure that your stay will be as pleasant and memorable as possible. And it is possible indeed!
Interview with Selby Pool
We always like to get to know the faces behind the scenes with our interviews, so we spent some time with Selby Pool, the Marketing Manager.
Selby is a very likeable and charismatic person. He is a mover and shaker and is responsible for the all-round feel-good atmosphere at the hotel. He takes care of the guests and the hotel with all his heart and soul. We briefly met, Eric Boulanger, the general manager, and he is also a very nice man! In our opinion, a great hotel has a great team and always, a great manager. The hotel’s philosophy is reflected by their staff and in the whole ambience of the hotel. And you definitely get to experience this as a guest!
We can only highly recommend this hotel. Whoever would like to experience a particular beautiful and romantic stay, would like to eat well and relax completely when on holiday, should not miss this fantastic hotel under any circumstances. We were certainly not here for the last time!
