A bijoux!

A bijoux hotel at the beach with excellent service. Nice rooms, tasty decorated, the staff checks twice a day, good breakfast, everything is clean, the small garden is spotless. If you prefer to be in the centre of attention instead of sharing the same address together with other 500 guests then Le Cardinal is a perfect choice.

Très bon séjour.

Très bon séjour, hotel magnifique et reposant, personnel très gentil et attentionné , surtout nawak qui est adorable et le responsable du restaurant et du bar de plage très gentil et très professionnel. Point à améliorer; la qualité des fruits au petit déjeuné et des pains au chocolat et croissants, idem pour les jus de fruit et le chocolat chaud qui manque de gout idem pour les charcuteries.

Just great

It feels very private and exclusive. You are getting all attention and not in annoying way. Very clean place and polite staff. Restaurant is great, Friday’s you can book a table on the beach, very special with all these lights and decorations. Rooms are neat, views are great. Many water activities with no extra charge. Wifi is OK, enough parking space, no complains

Small hotel in Ttou aux Biches

This is a small hotel. It’s not at the luxury end of the hotel market but has a number of good features; our junior suite was spacious with sea views and a small balcony and a large bathroom that is almost the size of the bedroom. Interiors are neutral and it was clean and serviced every day. The hotel grounds are small with a nicely maintained garden and a very small pool and from here you can step down to the beach where the hotel enjoys a large run of sand and shallow waters of the Trou Aux Biches coastline which we used most days (includes other hotels and public beaches which get busy at weekends). The hotel dining room is small and with overhead lighting and felt like a canteen. The outdoor tables on the adjoining balcony were much nicer and more intimate but limited owing to the unfortunate weather conditions. We didn’t use the communal areas inside the hotel as they amount to no more than a reception area with a piano and in need of redecoration. We returned to our room after dinner. The staff were friendly and very authentic but seemed to have been trained in silver service with numerous cutlery changes at each meal and napkin flourishes. This is not required and I would have preferred a more leisurely eating experience as the food was always nice as opposed to established standards and timings which made meals routine and at an almost competitive pace.

OVERBOOKING

Quand nous sommes arrivés, il n’y avait pas de chambre pour nous. Les raisons expliquées par la direction n’etaient absolument pas crédibles. Nous avons eu une chambre pour 1 nuit dans l’hotel en face qui est un 3 étoiles avec des chambres vetustes et bruyantes. En compensation, nous avons eu le repas de midi. Ma sœur est arrivée une semaine après nous, via expédia, et même chose ! Exédée par cette pratique, je me suis entretenue avec le directeur qui n’a pu expliquer clairement le pourquoi de cette situation. Ma sœur et moi même avons reçu de nouveau un repas de midi + un massage duo, en compensation. La compensation était cette fois plus correcte mais la Direction n’a pas admis l’overbooking et a continué à nous prendre pour des idiots avec des explications foireuses. Pourquoi nous ? Alors que des nouveaux clients sont arrivés 2 heures après ma sœur et eux ont eu directement leur chambre ! Est ce parce que nous avons réservé via Expédia ? C’est vraiment dommage car tout est parfait dans cet hôtel si on a la chance d’avoir directement la chambre qu’on a réservée et payée longtemps avant !

Nice boutique hotel in quiet setting near town.

Well kept rooms and grounds, nice indoor-outdoor restaurant and bar, beautiful shaded setting on lovely beach. Attentive and helpful staff, especially Dinoo and Avish. If you are looking for a local guide, ask the desk to contact Max, who gave us a most excellent Divalli tour experience, including coffee and sweets in his family home. Only minor negative was squeeky floorboards in rooms.

Small private place

Lady in Receptionen poor attitude and not the "I provide service for you" as I was looking for. Traveling with a toddler and asking if we could have the room two hours past check out so he could sleep (and offer to eat and spend money in their lunch restaurant off corse) and reception stated extra fee 2500 rupees. Just stupid and poor service. Main reason for not receiving top Score. Fantastic view from the room Large room and very comfortable Slow wifi as everywhere else in the island Beds quite hard Beach and garden very nice and private. A bit rocky so I suggest shoes when swimming. The area is clean and comfortable.Small hotel and private just as we were looking for. Very child friendly. No shop or supermarket close by and everything is really expensive on site. A bit weird to have food on the menu for add-on-price when you have paid for half board already.

Hotelli oli oikein miellyttävä. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä. Kuulumisia ja viihtymistä kyseltiin ehkä vähän liiankin aktiivisesti suomalaiseen makuun. Ravintolan illallismenu oli melko kovan hintainen, emmekä syöneet siellä kuin kerran. Etenkin viinit ovat todella kalliita. Aivan hotellin vieressä ei ole erityisen paljon ravintoloita, mutta 2 km säteellä vaihtoehtoja on runsaasti. Trou aux Bichesin "keskusta" on vartin kävelymatkan päässä ja siellä on kauppa, posti yms. palvelut. Hyödynsimme hotellin yhteistyökumppanin myymiä retkiä.

Lite luksushotell direkte på stranden

Le Cardinal Resort har bare 13 juniorsuiter/suiter. Det er en liten perle av et hotell beliggende rett på egen strand og passer perfekt for de som ønsker en avslappende ferie i rolige omgivelser. Vi hadde halvpensjon, men valgt å spise samtlige måltider på hotellet som har en topp chef. Rikholdig og variert meny å velge fra, alltid med et lokalt tilsnitt. Blidt og behagelige personale som gjorde alt for å gi oss et strålende opphold. Store og velutstyrte rom, alle med utsikt over sjøen. Spa på nabohotellet over veien. Avslappende luksus kan oppsummere hotellet.

Quelle bonheur ...

A l'occasion de notre voyage de noces, nous avons séjournés 4 nuits au cardinal. Il nous a été difficile d'en partir tant nous nous sommes régalés. Nourriture excellente (restaurant presque gastronomique), services au top du top, personnel aux petits soins et d'une grande gentillesse. Idéal pour trouver calme et sérénité pour se ressourcer au contact des mauriciens toujours au top. Je le recommande les yeux fermés si vous cherchez un Hotel calme, avec peu de monde et proche de grand baie. Nous y retournerons...

Fint hotell ved stranden, middels service.

Fint hotell med umiddelbar nærhet til kjempe fin strand. Servicen på hotellet er noe litt annet. Jeg skulle fri til kjæresten min og ville ha en et bord på stranden eller i strandbar område på kvelden. Det var umulig. Enda det var flere ansatte på hotellet en gjester. Et annet stort minus er at du MÅ ha bukse når du skal spise middag. Alt dette preget turen veldig. Men ellers var servicen grei.
