The hotel

Nestled in the heart of a coconut plantation bordering one of the island's finest beaches, La Pirogue is built in the style of a fisherman's village with each room housed in thatched cottages scattered throughout the beautiful spacious gardens. The hotel boasts a fantastic range of facilities for all the family, including a 1,000sq m infinity pool with a floating Jacuzzi, a spa, sumptuous dining options and a daily supervised kids' and teens' club. When evening hits, La Morne beach bar offers live entertainment or DJ's, and alongside the roaring bonfire, this makes for an excellent spot for a nightcap.

Beautiful complex in a large park with palm trees. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The entire organization seems very well managed. There are also many families with children. The double bungalows are a bit older, but everything is functional. Very good beds. The site plan and the floor plans of the houses are well documented on the website. We were here for three weeks and as pescetarians we had no problem with the buffet food. As a vegetarian or vegan it gets tight! There are small supermarkets within walking distance. The prices of drinks in the restaurant with food are above German levels. Read less

The whole team of staff were delightful all the way through our visit, which really contributed to the relaxing feel of the resort. Everywhere was well cared for (though the water sports kit is looking old) and there were options to be active or just laze around. The various restaurants give a choice between buffet style or a la carte. We did both but the children’s enthusiasm for the buffet won overall. There was some rough weather one day which threw a lot of seaweed and debris on to the beach - but the team were out clearing it the next day. The grounds were looked after well and kept in good order. Accommodation was comfortable and spacious. (The thin loo paper may be a false economy though!) The spa visit got top marks from those who used it. We were marking a couple of celebrations during our visit - the staff and hotel made them both very special. The Kids Club was a real hit with the younger ones (& their parents!) and again the staff were great. The location and the team of staff are definite ‘stars of the show’ at La Pirogue. Read less
