For sure it’s a nice place to be

Only thing that I felt strange about, was the fact that my request to switch the evening buffet to a sandwich lunch the next day was neglected, even though I asked the day of check in (I had booked a dinner outside the next day) and I fully had to pay for it. Experiencing all the friendliness of Seychelles I think this was a bit of too much strictness compared to what price tag it is. It would have been nice to find a compromise.

We stayed as a couple in a Garden Villa. We loved the pool - it had a great view and a swim up bar. The sun loungers were also very comfy. The food was very good and plentiful - each evening was a different buffet theme, with plenty of choice. Breakfast buffet was also very good. The staff were always on hand to help and organised umbrellas/transport for the guests one night when it was raining incredibly heavily

The check in process could be smoother and the receptionist we dealt with could have been friendlier. They also kept our passports without informing us of how long they would need them for - just a simple update would have sufficed! Staff in the restaurant were a little too overbearing at times; it's ok for guests to pour their own wine! Drinks and food were a little pricey. Our bathroom also leaked through the light fixture in the ceiling after heavy rain. The rooms would benefit from a little touch up! The beach is also not the nicest in La Digue, but the pool somewhat makes up for it

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at this hotel. Definitely my absolute best. Like I said in my last review, I have retired and travel quite a bit. From my experience there's always something special about each hotel. However, there is always one that exceeds all your expectations. It's the one hotel you will only book. Le Domaine de L'Orangerie is that one for me. If you are visiting La Digue, it's in my opinion the only hotel to book. The staff are so friendly and always attentive to your needs. JUST THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! And you couldn't wish for a better location.

For the 2nd time there was nothing I didn't like. Other than because of my schedule I couldn't stay longer. Next time on my Seychelles holiday I will book almost my entire holiday at La Digue at Le Domaine de L'Orangerie. Without a doubt. Such a laid back atmosphere without sacrificing the professionalism.

We stayed at Villa Marion Dufresne. The Resort is located very close to the jetty. Although have a lot of rooms (62 I think), you don’t feel is massive. The weather was not too good during our stay but we didn’t care about because our room was so amazing that was very nice to relax on bath while raining. I truly belive that the photos on booking are not expressing how good the room is. The food was a buffet, with a lot of choices and the food was tasty.

There is no beach in front of the hotel and the SPA prices were very expensive

room was awesome, specially the bathroom concept & size. pool was fantastic. since we are vegetarians, we could not have more than 50% but on our request the chef was good enough to provide with some vege options. Apart the above, would like to mention a few people who were really friendly & assisted us whenever needed - Dhanjibhai, Tushira, Deepak, Karen, Ajay, Prashant.

The receptionists Enida & Shawney (don know the spelling exactly) were very rude, ill mannered & need to go back to take some lessons as to how to behave with the guests, specially at a 5 star hotel. Never have i experienced such a behaviour towards guests in my life, i am not sure whether the senior staff has taken cognizance of my mail !! if not, then someone has to look into this.

The property is even better in real life compared to the pictures, the service provided was top tier, they provide a complimentary buggy transport from the ferry harbour to the hotel, you can use the facilities even after your check-out in case you have a late departure, the buffet offered a very good variety of food and very tasty too, dinners are with live music, the room I stayed in had a huuuge open air bathroom, they gift you a reusable water bottle too.

There was literally nothing to complain about. 10/10

Fantastic location. Beautiful hotel. Excellent food. Generally friendly staff. Lovely views of the sea snd whilst in the dining room.

The steps to get in and out of the pool were outrageously high. Two steps each higher than my knee. On checking out if not leaving immediately and requiring a shower before departure then a shower slot/time needs to be implemented. Just saying turn up before you leave is inadequate when several people all want to have a shower at the same time.

The gardens, the room and the swimming pool

Even though they accept dollars as a way of payment, the exhange rate does not accord with the international bank rate.which means the hotel overcharges the guests , at their own will and somebody should be responsible for this decision. When i shown them the international rate, the reply was, no we charge 1.45. But how is possible to behave in that way and in order to win 10 dollars more, you create such a bad impression !

The pool has amazing view also the beach is beautiful, the rooms are very big and clean. The food was nice.

We took half board plan but drinks is not included which is understandable but a bottle of water costs 80scr!!! I think that an hotel in this level should provide water to guests as all other hotels we have been did. also the checkout is too early (10am)

Great location. Very friendly staff. Good food at breakfast and dinner. Big and spacious room with private terrace. Nice pool, although only a few loungers.

Beach area by hotel was under renovation or so, it didn't look nice at all and wasn't useable to guests. It would have been nice to get the water included at dinner since the hotel already provides it without cost in the rooms.
