La Digue Island Lodge

We have spent 5 nights at La Digue Island Lodge and everything was just spectacular! The hotel territory is beautiful, the ocean is pristine and there are a lot of tropical fish swimming around that you can feed or pet. The staff is very hospitable and caring, they treated us amazingly since the arrival. They go an extra mile to ensure that everything is going well. We felt very good and welcomed there. It's located just 15 mins walk away from the most beautiful beach in the world. Our room Beach A-frame Chalet was very cozy and with outdoor bathroom that felt great. Buffet food was tasty and different every day. And especially we loved their pool bar and restaurant with a "fisherman basket" dish of fried seafood, it's delicious and highly recommended. Nissa, Madonna, and Eric made our special occasion stay truly unforgettable. The hotel has its history and we have stayed in 6 different hotels during few weeks we were on vacation and most of them were luxury 5 star resorts, but La Digue Island Lodge will stay in our hearts with very warm memories. Perfect place to just relax and chill. Surely we want to come back in the future when we have a next chance to visit Seychelles again!

Loved this resort, it is quiet but has everything you need. It is a well maintained, clean, traditional and up-to-date facility. We loved the charming and characteristic A frame chalets, but staying in the beach house gave us the perfect dreamy ocean view. |Breakfast buffet was good with the appreciated freshly made omlette/pancake corner. Evening buffet always had something we liked.|Drinks or food at the pool bar a bit pricey but well presented. Staff all together was friendly, helpful and nice, especially the pool bar guys were great! Pity about the weak WiFi connection.|It has been my dream destination for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Thanks to all the resort staff for a job well done. Would be back again in a flash.

The hotel is really such a gem. It was a lovely one night stay but, way too short. The team was amazing especially Madona in reservations, Jamila and Eric at the reception, Jude and Chithre at the bar… the bathrooms are so spacious and the rooms are clean. The location was perfect.

I am never one to write reviews, but the experience I had here was so awful I felt the need to warn others. Upon check-in, the receptionist told us that our room included free breakfast, but not lunch or dinner. Great, I confirmed this with her and she even proceeded to explain how the breakfast buffet worked. The next morning when my friend and I went down to eat, we gave the host our room number and began grabbing food. It wasn’t until we started filling our plates that she informed me that we didn’t actually have breakfast included with our stay. Confused, I explained what the receptionist told us and asked her to double check. She never came back during the next half hour and we assumed all was fine until the waitress brought us a bill for $72 (that’s $36/person for extremely mediocre breakfast offerings that reflect what you’d get included for free at a typical Holiday Inn property, not a resort-style place). I live in a high cost of living city in the US (New York city) and even I found this pricing to be absurd for what was offered. We went to the front desk to sort this out, which resulted in an extremely rude receptionist telling us we’d have to wait for the manager to arrive the next day (after we were due to check out). I asked that this be resolved before our departure, and she told me I could wait for the assistant manager to arrive. So my friend and I sat and waited, and were eventually greeted by the assistant manager who proceeded to argue with me relentlessly about the breakfast bill. During this conversation, he admitted that his staff had misinformed us about breakfast being included, and also admitted that they failed to notify us about this change. He even brought in the host who never got back to us, and she started arguing with us as well. I tried explaining that we had been misinformed, and the host never came to tell us that breakfast wasn’t included after checking with management. Quite frankly, we felt like we were being scammed since my friend and I would’ve 100% gone outside the resort for breakfast if we knew it wasn’t included and was charged at an absurd $36/person. Eventually, after an extremely unprofessional and exhausting argument about the integrity of his business and his employees’ inability to properly communicate, he gave in and only offered us 20% off our bill and free breakfast for the next day. Still, the discount wasn’t reflected in the bill when we tried to check out the next day and my friend still had to remind the receptionist that we were supposed to get a discount. I’ve literally never stayed anywhere where communication was so inconsistent and it was clear the staff weren’t informing each other of updates. This aside, the food we ordered at lunch by the pool also took 1 hour and was subpar (I could’ve made myself a better pasta in 20 minutes), and the rooms/facilities are also outdated and have seen better days. The pool is lined with this waterproof canvas material that feels strange and also is collecting green algae. I would like to note that several other staff were extremely friendly and helpful during our stay, which we appreciated. However, for the price this place is charging, you can 100% find much nicer properties on La Digue. I would recommend Le Repaire next door, which is a boutique hotel in a similar price range and had exceptional staff/service both times we went to eat.

Travelling from Mahe, we had the most memorable two nights 16+17th June room 63/11. Clean rooms, comfy bed, peaceful sleep.Impecable service "beyond expectation" wide variety appetizing food on the breakfast diner buffet.Feeding the fish restaurant front was one of "the" must have experience.Would highly recommend. Keep up the good work!

Older hotel with beautiful views of the beach. The interior of the room however (beachfront suites) desperately needs an upgrade— old furniture, extremely hard mattresses, and a bathroom that has window looking into the bedroom. Weird. ||The food was good, but most of the restaurant staff don’t seem very happy… they would seldom smile at the customers. ||Lastly, the swimming pool needs to repaired… the laminate lining of the pool is slowly starting to separate from the concrete floor. ||Three out of 5 stars is a very fair rating for this property.

I stayed here for a night. Rooms definitely needs a renovation, they are worn out now. Apart from that, location is on point. It offers a scenic view with relaxing chairs. Pool area is great ,food and restaurant are upto market. Can be recommended for short stays.

Lovely pool area, no service. I missed lunch so thought maybe I'll just have something by the pool. Decided it was a good idea if they still serve at that hour, quarter past two. Asked the staff, got greeted, I told what table I'm going to and she said they'll come to the table. I take the menu myself from the end of the counter. Table is not cleaned, half eaten dishes on the table. I move my chair a bit and take a seat. The waiter brings the food to the next table but they got the order wrong and she leaves with the dish. No service for me. Waiter comes back with same food but to other table next to me. Still no service for me. I smoke a cigarette, no service. I've waited for half an hour. Still a dirty table, no service. Maybe it's my holiday and I'm not in hurry, but I'm hungry and cocktail would've been nice. When I decide that they must have enough money since they clearly don't want mine, I walk out and go somewhere else. While I'm leaving the restaurant, the bartender asks why am I leaving 🙄 So anyway. I waited for 40 minutes. No service. Dirty tables. Can't recommend to anyone.
