AKOYA HOTEL & SPA

We went to the island of Réunion, with little to no knowledge of what the island had to offer before we went. The Akoya hotel was our base, going out to explore from the hotel, - Brillant, comfortable rooms, concierge was easily reached, water service 2 a day when the room was cleaned or in the evening. - Amenities, there is a Breakfast buffet, highly recommend, french, american and reuniónese food on offer and good selection on fruits and drinks. - The gym we used and it was well equipped, with cardio and weights machines. There is a spa available with a assortment of treatments available. - The restaurant at the hotel The food was very good and the service and price were fair. - The pool The pool and loung area are fantastic, laying there, watching the waves of the Indian Ocean breaking and hitting the beach, and the faint background noise is brilliant. The pool bar has a different lunch menu and good assortment of drinks. The sun loungers where very comfortable. We rented a car and had no issues at all getting a parking space by the hotel, as they gave a private parking area for guests. The beach The Plague de la saline was on easily accessible from the hotel and offers a variety of restraunts and bars in a walking distance. - Finally the staff at the hotel, We are not native french speakers, and the island of Reunion does not at this moment cater to English speakers, however, the staff at Akoya, did there best and went above and beyond for us. As en example we had an issue with our rental car and talked with the concierge and they phoned the car rental and sorted the issue on our behalf. Finally - I would recommend the Akoya for anyone who is visiting Reunion Island, the service/amenities, the staff and the location were all brilliant. The rooms might need an update soon, keep that in mind, but the staff at the hotel and all of the things mentioned made it a worthwhile stay.

A great location with a spectacular swimming beach on the doorstep. The hotel seems to have lost its shining light. The gardens are run down, a lot of obvious maintenance issues and a lack of 5 star touches. The amenities and facilities are all there just lacks love and passion, all of which can be turned around.

As a star rated hotel I expected a bit more, the overall service is great but the decor are but dated. However, I still had a pleasant stay because the location is closer to music festivals and restaurants at decent price point.

The room and the service was good but keyboard to control the room temperature (aircon) was broken, so we have to call reception everytime to adjust it. The sauna was not working also. But overall all good.

Lovely hotel and manager was super helpful.|We only spent one night after our flight was cancelled. The room are spacious and the bed very comfortable. We had a good night sleep and tried a very good breakfast. The view on the sea is beautiful. We will have to come back for a longer stay next time!

Really lovely hotel and staff. Very attentive staff including management- stopped by every day at breakfast for chat and check everything ok. Lovely infinity with amazing view. Pool always spotlessly clean. Beach a couple of minutes walk, very clean, hire kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel mask. Lots of places on beach for drinks and snacks. Hotel food excellent.

Really amazing hotel located right across from Saline les Bains. The hotel staff were all super friendly and helpful even we struggled to communicate freely due to our lack of French fluency but some staffs spoke good enough English so it was absolutely not an issue! ||The rooms were super spacious and comfortable with a nice sit out (we had the garden facing room). Quality of sleep was absolutely amazing due to the very good sound proofing and excellent mattress/pillow. No complaints at all!! ||The only drawback, if at all, was the lack of eating options within the hotel. However, there’s 3-4 excellent restaurants along the beach and within a 3-4 minute walk. ||Really highly recommended hotel to stay if you’re visiting Reunion and want to just recharge your batteries!!

A very nice garden with a beautiful overflow pool with a breathtaking view of the sea. The atmosphere was cool, even if it was a bit too much like club med. The staff and the restaurant are not up to the standard of a 5 star hotel. The restaurant menu was really poor and the dishes not really elaborate. The staff was not very helpful. In a 5 star hotel, the waiters are a bit more friendly and come to offer us snacks at the water's edge, or bring them to us if they don't come to order them. However, the spa staff seemed to be very welcoming and great. W e will try it in the future! Ps: we were not a guest of the hotel, so we can only judge the restaurant and the amenities of the hotel.
