L'Archipel

My family and I spent a week there and couldn't fault our stay. Hotel was tidy and clean , staff were adorable and helpful throughout our stay and bonus was being able to see whales from our room (216) every single day. Don't look any further than what it is, a 3 star hotel (or was it 4 ? ) and enjoy a simple stay in a nice and cosy hotel. Note that diner is served only on Friday and Saturdays so book restaurants around ahead of your stay since most nice restaurant were fully booked . Warm thanks to all the staff for their warm welcome and for making our stay smooth and enjoyable .

Very nice hotel. The pool, the interior and the gardening is really nice. The restaurant was only open 2d/week, no amiation or so, so really more an appartment complex. We loved our Duplex room for 2 Adults and 1 teenager, we could even get a glimpse of the see. This is not seaside, like I guess no hotels in La Reunion: it's a 10 min walk from hotel the sea, you have to cross a busy road, and the beach close is not allowed for bathing because of sharks - however St. Gilles is 4 min car ride and you have 2 of the nicesest beaches in La Réunion.

This was a 2day getaway surprise from my husband for his birthday, just the three of us. We arrived quite earlier than the usual check-in time and as understandable as it was, the room wasn't ready but we were provided our welcome drinks while waiting and my son kept us busy exploring the new surrounding.. its tranquility and ambience was wonderful and the staff were very accommodating in checking in on us whilst we waited to be given a room. It wasn't long when we were told we had the room ready and to our surprise they even had put in a portable baby cot which we hadn't had asked for upon our reservation online. The room was super clean with a long handled-broom, dust-pan and brush and mop with a small bucket in a cupboard, and in my case, i like to keep my space clean and when coming back from the pool drenched wet and walking about- having that mop was a life-saver. The kitchenette was super organised, clean and felt so homely. Even a clothes drying-rack was there for each room so laundry wasn't even a problem. The bathroom was neatly clean with extra towels. The bed was ok with additional comfy pillows and woolen blankets provided on a shelf. Breakfast was great with the attendant been very friendly and kind in ensuring we were ok. The buffet breakfast spread was presentable and being very strict in measures of hygiene that mask wearing when serving was mandatory (because of COVID) and I was glad to see staffs with gloves etc. We had booked a studio but surely was worth what we paid for. A Burger King and InterMarket supermarket were just 5mins walk away with a little mall-like with doctors clinic, vet clinic, cafes and ATM. Thank you to the team for making those 2 days a real getaway for us. Hoping to return soon.
