La Digue Island Lodge

Our stay at La Digue Island Lodge was amazing . The beachfront chalets offer breathtaking views of the ocean. The staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The property is lush, peaceful, and perfectly located near Anse Source d’Argent. The food was fresh and delicious, especially the Creole buffet! Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking relaxation, beauty, and authentic island charm.

A Pleasant Surprise at This 3-Star Resort||We felt it was only fair to share our honest experience at this 3-star resort, especially after reading so many negative reviews beforehand. Truth be told, we were quite anxious before arriving — but we ended up pleasantly surprised.||Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and helpful staff. We were offered a refreshing welcome drink and received quick access to our bungalow. The small house was charming, with its own terrace and a cozy, clean bathroom. Everything was tidy and well-maintained.||We had booked half board, and both breakfast and dinner were quite good. Considering the resort’s 3-star rating, the food quality exceeded our expectations.||The beach was only a 2-minute walk from our bungalow, with plenty of available sunbeds and natural shade from palm trees. The sea was full of colorful fish, making snorkeling a wonderful experience. The fish were calm and swam close to us — we even had the chance to feed them and capture some amazing footage with our GoPro.||In the evenings, we enjoyed sitting and watching the sunset, which added a magical touch to the atmosphere.||The only downsides we experienced were the very hot bathroom due to poor ventilation, and the lack of internet access — something we hope the resort will improve in the future.||Overall, we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Don’t be discouraged by all the negative reviews — this place has its charm!||||Snezana og Ronny

We stayed in an annex to the larger resort across the street. We did not know that we will stay outside the resort when we booked. The Annex is very basic, don't expect much, not 4* for sure. Everything is a bit old and worn and outdated but useable. The challenge in the La Digue is that hotels are expensive, so you can't expect much if you pay less than 300 USD per night. Breakfast was also very basic and the internet was lousy everywhere and every day. |The pool area, including the toilets, was also very worn out. Sun umbrellas where missing. Check-in was slow, and the prices in their restaurant were unreasonably high, so we didn't eat there. All in all, it's not a place that leaves memories, just an okay place to stay. The hotel offers transport from and to the ferry. Location is fine with a supermarket in front and a bike rental at the main gate of the hotel for a good price.

The rooms don't offer working wifi and the bathroom is outside for a part so the mosquitos enter your bedroom as well. We also didn't have warm water almost everything is outdated. Staff is ok but not personal. The location is fantastic as it's directly at the sea.

We have just returned from our holiday in the Seychelles and spent three nights at La Digue Lodge. I don't understand all the negative comments at all: - According to some reviews, the beach is supposed to be ‘dirty’ – that is absolutely not true. We didn't even have seaweed on the beach, even though it is supposed to wash up more frequently in July and August. - The food was absolutely adequate and also good. We were always among the last to arrive in the evening and there was still food left over from all the dishes. - The claim that the internet only works in the lobby is also not true... all of us had no problem accessing the Wi-Fi with our mobile phones throughout the entire complex. - The staff were always polite, attentive and helpful, and the room was clean. - We didn't have any bugs in the rooms at all. Oh... at dinner, there was a crab at the buffet when everyone had left... the dining room is right by the sea, so if you don't like that, you're in the wrong place on an island, in my opinion. - Some people have complained about the annoying birds that land on tables and pick up leftover food – as if they were in Hitchcock's ‘The Birds’. Here, too, it should be said that the birds are not annoying at all, and if one should land on a chair or table, it will immediately fly away with a wave of the hand. As I said, the dining room is an open space, and I find it enchanting to be able to enjoy the sea air and nature while eating. In addition, the view of Praslin is priceless in my opinion. - Yes, the hotel complex is not hyper-modern, futuristic, with everything controlled digitally – but I think that's exactly what makes up the enchanting charm of a hotel on a small island like La Digue. - The air conditioning also worked perfectly and is not ultra-loud, as some people claim. - The garden is truly beautiful and very carefully tended by the staff. - The hotel's location is really ideal and there is a bike rental shop right outside the door. You can reach all the important places in 20 minutes. In conclusion, we had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Digue Lodge. We would definitely like to come back :-)

Not cleaned room on arrival.|Very old room with for example no hot water in the shower, broken mirror, hair and sand everywhere, non existing WiFi in the hotel area, Poor breakfast and they did not fill up if something where empty, dinner buffé same same every day even if they said different themes, just one dish that might be changed and also they did not fill up if something where empty. |You write in the folder you provide in the reception and in the rooms that you have a gym overlooking the pool but there was no gym anywhere... Missleading information…||The location of the hotel is fantastic, a very nice garden which we liked and most of the staff where very friendly and helpful.||We thought we should come to a four star hotel but we did not. If I should rate the hotel overall it is a minor three star like it is today. The hotel need to shape up!

Charming Property with a Few Quirks – A Mostly Lovely Stay Island Lodge La Digue truly delivers on its promise of vintage charm. The property is beautifully landscaped, with lush foliage, a serene atmosphere, and stunning sunset views over the ocean. The pool area is especially inviting, and the location is excellent, with nearby supermarkets and easy access to cycling paths. The rooms are small but functional and well-equipped, ideal for travelers who pack light and appreciate efficiency. Cleaning standards were good, and although we didn’t stay in the luxury tents, our room served its purpose comfortably. However, there are some important things to note: Do not come expecting Wi-Fi. There is essentially no internet access—you'll need to rely entirely on your SIM card for connectivity. The phone in our room didn’t work and was oddly hidden behind the television. When we finally got it working to request some cutlery, guest services refused the request—surprising, given this is a hotel and not an apartment rental. Once we adjusted our expectations and treated the lodge as more of a self-catering stay, the experience improved. With supermarkets nearby, we stocked up on water and supplies and settled in comfortably. On the positive side, the free pickup and drop-off to the ferry was a thoughtful touch, and check-in was seamless and well-organised. There’s a bike rental shop right on the premises, which is incredibly convenient. However, we strongly advise against using the on-site Azzurina Dive Center. It was rarely open, unresponsive to calls and messages, and the manager openly stated that profitability takes precedence over guest experience. Overall, Island Lodge is a great place to stay if you're prepared for a more independent experience. It’s peaceful, charming, and not overly intrusive—perfect for travelers who enjoy some solitude in a scenic setting.

I ask everyone not to come here! I paid the same as at Kempinsky, but the difference is huge. I ordered Direkt Beach A Frame and they put me in the last place where I could see the fence and they looked at me from the balcony next to me. Cleanliness is 0. The people serving are dirty and not nice. They herd you into the dining room like cattle. I had to buy water for the evening because they can't provide half a liter of water every day. At check out they turned off the electricity at 10 o'clock. This place only looks good in the pictures, but everything is smelly and dirty and unfriendly. Etc. etc. Big disappointment
