Staff were weird
The resort was in a great location. Everything was generally okay but the staff in this resort really needs a check on their attitude. They tend to be impatient, snappy, irritated like all the guests are nuisance to them and even passive-aggressive. Breakfast was horrible but dinner service was good. I think the main damper on the stay in the hotel were the staff’s attitudes in comparison to the rest of Seychelles.

The staff the rooms and the food were excellent nothing bad to say the only thing is the beach is a little hard to get into because it’s rocky but all the beaches on this island are rocky no sandy bottoms it’s hard to get into deep water head but other than that I would definitely recommend

The Lodge is located right on a beautiful beach, and it is immerse in nature and a calm and relaxing garden. We stayed with half board option: breakfast and dinner were served in an open dining area that directly overlooks the beach where you can typically see fish and birds passing by. Buffet menu with good variety. The staff is friendly and helpful. The bungalow is spacious, both the room and the bathroom (featuring a wide shower). Air conditioning worked well. Both beach and bathroom towels are offered daily and the room is daily cleaned excellently. There is the possibility to rent bikes at 100 SCR per day.The lodge also features a pool area and bar. We had a great stay and we were very sad to leave!

Not worth the cost
The bathroom has a really bad smell of smoking so they took us to a different room. Everything is very basic in this hotel, no value for money. The only good thing about it is the beach and the garden. Drinks in evening cost money + you are not allowed to bring your own water. In breakfast cappuccino cost 85 SCR before taxes.

Wonderful sense of the real seychelles at la digue
Loved our stay in La Digue island lodge beautiful location with a wonderful view of Praslin from our room. Perfect for sunset. close to jetty, the conservation reserve and anse D'argent. Bike hire and diving shop at the entrance. Be sure to hire bikes 100 rupee a day and explore this paradise. The team at la digue lodge do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. Breakfast is simple and sufficient. The dinner buffet is wonderful creole cooking. The team are very flexible and make sure that you have breakfast before the 7.30 ferry back to mahe. If you are prone to sea sickness make sure you are well equipped before the ride. We learnt our lesson from the first ferry ride and made a visit yo the local Pharmacy for the return.

Not hot water for 2 days straight(obviously toward end of out stay), staff wasn’t interested in giving sea view seat even when it was empty sighting “reserved” while the restaurant has first come first serve and that happens on last day of the stay, silently telling thanks but no thanks. Food is terrible, best thing in breakfast is bread and jam and don’t even ask for dinner. Its half board though but the hotel/lodge wants to save as much as they can in food i feel. Interestingly, water in breakfast is free but charged at dinner. Like seriously, half board and you have to pay for your water.

Happy Travelers
I specifically chose the L’Union Beach Bungalow so we would have early access to Anse Source d’Argent. We were lucky to be able to roam the beach privately for a couple of hours in the mornings. We stayed for sunsets as well and didn’t have far to get back to our bungalow. The bungalow itself was simple, clean, spacious, and had a modern looking bathroom. The hotel provided transportation for breakfast and dinner. Our reservation included breakfast and dinner. The food buffets had a few misses but there was plenty of other hits to make up for it. We also rented bikes from the guy in from of the hotel. I recommend taking bikes out to get a local lunch and to get to the beaches. Overall we were very pleased with the location and early access the L’Union Beach Bungalow offered.

I'd stay here again
This place worked for me! I arrived solo for three nights, then my husband joined me. It was an easy place to stay alone and wonderful too with someone. The staff is exceptional. My room in the Yellow House was fun, with its narrow wooden circular staircase to a lower level SPACIOUS bathroom. Great water pressure, too, btw! The cleaning stand was super meticulous. Nary a grain in sand in the room- honestly, I don't know how they did it but it was nice to have such a clean place. The buffets were good with a nightly theme. EVERYTHING has to be imported- first to Mahe, and then over to La Digue.... so the variety and freshness are quite good, given what must be done just to get the goods there! La Digue itself has almost all guesthouses. That's not a fit for everyone. Because I was traveling alone for the first part of my trip, I didn't want to fool with looking for places to buy groceries, cook, or shop. The LDI Lodge is beachfront and has a gorgeous restaurant setting (and pool) along the water. It was quite suitable for me!

Nice stay in a relaxing hotel
Lovely stay in a nice relaxing hotel beautiful location. Stayed in a standard room for two nights which was a tad small, saying that we did have two weeks worth of clothes. Nowhere to put suitcases. Shower was brill and huge, bathroom good size but not storage space and needs updating. Main gripe, you can’t take any food or drink including water into your room and store it in the mini bar, otherwise it gets locked. Food was ok and staff were pleasant. Beach is fabulous. My husband used one of the other rooms and said the showers were tiny and he isn’t a big man by any means

Right at the water!
We loved La Digue Island Lodge. The beachfront rooms had a view of the ocean and were 10 feet from the sand. It was amazing to wake up to. They were not very clear with us about the rate of an additional day, and each night had a different cost through expedia, which was a bit frustrating. Overall an amazing vacation was had. The buffet was fine, nothing special, some delicious dishes. Wonderful service all around.

Don't be fooled
Horrible service! Took their classic apartment and was directed to the backyard outside the main hotel area. The one introducing us made us feel very excluded from the beginning by taking the introduction with another couple having one of the more expensive rooms with everything included. Of no reason explained it also took about 40 minutes from arrival until we were taken care of. He also said our breakfast was excluded so we missed our first breakfast even though breakfast actually was included in our booking from the beginning as we said. When hotel heard about this they said sorry but didn't do more than that. Last day we had to leave for the ferry early in the morning and they said breakfast started at 6am but when we came nothing was ready and they didnt feel the need to try to arrange something quickly for the bunch of us who wanted to eat something before leaving. At 06.28 they served the coffee when we had to leave at 0630 so we didnt even have time for coffee.. The same guy we told at arrival we wanted to be in an excursion two days ahead and once we came to the pick-up we were not signed up of course.. It was solved but the treatment of this guy was just horrible. Breakfast once we could get it was OK, dinner buffet was quite bad with overcooked food, queues and bad attitude with the waitresses who didn't respond when we asked for something. Some of the staff were more helpful but overall this hotel had a bad attitude and thought low of their customers.

Great 3 star hotel, location is optimal. On the negative side, we took half broad and both breakfast and dinner were not up to par, we decided to eat dinner outside the area despite that we already paid for dinner. Also when we checked out we were informed that they wanted us to pay 12 EUR for pickup from the wharf, small money but they could have informed us, felt very sneaky.

Das Hotel Island Lodge La Digue bietet eine malerische Umgebung mit einem schönem Strand und unvergesslichen Sonnenuntergängen. Die Zimmer sind äußerst gemütlich und bieten eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Das Buffet könnte jedoch etwas vielfältiger sein, da die Auswahl begrenzt ist. Das Personal könnte auch aufmerksamer sein, um den Gästen einen noch angenehmeren Aufenthalt zu bieten. Die Lage des Hotels ist ausgezeichnet, da alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gut erreichbar sind, insbesondere der atemberaubende Anse Source d'Argent, nur eine kurze Fahrradfahrt entfernt. Insgesamt bietet das Hotel eine schöne Erfahrung, die durch einige Verbesserungen noch besser werden könnte.

A real disappointment from arrival to departure
Our stay at La Digue Island Lodge was a real disappointment - from arriving to departure. The bad service started just from that we checked in and the staff insisted to have our booking voucher in physical papers. The check-in process thereafter continued very slow… Overall we felt that the staff found the guests as annoying. When we visited the pool bar the staff sighed when we asked to see the cocktail menu. The staff that manage the towels looked at us sleepily when we wanted to have towels. About the food, the breakfast was okay but the dinner was tasteless, definitely not worth the money! We lived in a chalet that was quite worn out with lots of insects. The day we checked out was a rainy day and the ferry didn’t departure until after lunch. We decided to pick up take away food (the lunch at the restaurant was extremely expensive and due to the standard of the food at the buffet we didn’t want to chance). Due to the rain we decided to sit in the waiting area (where you also stored your luggage). Suddenly the staff told us we couldn’t sit in the waiting area and eat and what we had to go outside. We asked him if we had to stand outside in the rain and have our lunch, and he insisted (because of his boss that called from somewhere else on the hotel area). Do we have to say that we never will come back to this place and never will recommend anyone other to visit Island Lodge?

It was terrible and way too expensive for what you get, luckily we only stayed for one night. We skipped dinner although it would’ve been included. Breakfast was terrible, the food is bad quality and you’d have to pay extra for cappuccino. All the employees (except one waiter) were quite unfriendly and not interested. The hut was quite old and we had unwanted pets in our bedroom (geckos and a cricket). At check in and check out you have to leave your luggage, they tell you that they’ll care about it but it’s kind of dubious. Better lock it if you can and keep your personal stuff to yourself. Just do not book here, this is probably the worst place to stay in La Digue.
