« Seychelles. about. La Digue. hotel 'La Digue Island Lodge'»
A non-stop flight lasts approximately 9:30. But to our regret, Seychelles Airlines stopped their flights to Moscow a year ago for an unknown reason (most likely due to incomplete loading of the aircraft) And now our tourists have to use connecting flights and fly through Dubai. It takes much longer. When flying to the Seychelles in Dubai, I had to wait for a connecting flight for 4 hours and back to Moscow at 5:30. This is very inconvenient and very exhausting since everything happened at night. (there is a day flight. You spend the last night in a hotel on Mahe Island. Departure at 6:55 am) In total, we spent exactly 24 hours on the road. This is perhaps the only BIG MINUS in this journey, apart from various little things.

Weather conditions / seasonality
Dry season : May - October
Nature
Tropics. Everything blooms and bears fruit. Coconut or mango can fall on your head...(it is advisable to move around the island in a helmet / joke) Once it became creepy when a coconut fell from a very high palm tree a meter away from me. Be careful and look at the sky from time to time! ! !
And the mangoes there are just lying on the ground, in the yards of local residents, they are pecked by chickens. The locals live near the hotel. So the local rooster woke us up every morning for breakfast at 5:30
Availability of interesting sightseeing objects
Source Dargent beach and other beaches of the island with large granite boulders. By the way, the entrance to the Source Dargent beach is paid: 10 euros or 15 dollars. You pay the first and second time, and the third pass is free of charge if you have saved receipts. For the third time, tickets are taken away. I don’t know how relations are built further when going to this beach. It took us three times to see and film everything. And I don't think it's right to sit in one place. There are roads. Take a bike and go. View the island. Some tourists hired a local guide and hiked around the island. But this is only for physically strong people. Wear sturdy shoes.
Food (restaurants, cafes)
Several restaurants and cafes, a pizzeria (shooting on the streets of the village of La Reunion
Night life
Night clubs and discos NO! ! ! With the onset of dusk, street life freezes. The street lights go out. And I don't think it's safe to walk in the dark. We didn't go out of the hotel at night. Maybe I'm wrong about city lighting. Correct me (even in the hotel it was not important with the lighting of the territory in the evening)
Shopping (shops, markets)
There are, of course, large shops with expensive clothes of well-known firms and brands, as well as small souvenir shops. European prices. Here are some prices from: Seychelles beer 0.25 = 60 rubles. Dry wine 0.7 = 320 rubles A loaf of bread = 15 rubles.
About La Digue Island Lodge 4*
Hotel location (distance from the airport, sea, mountains, etc. )
From the pier 7 min. by car
Hotel area (size, arrangement)
Very large and beautiful area. Lots of flowering plants...
Hotel building (state)
The hotel consists of many bungalows and two two-story houses of the colonial period
Rooms (size, comfort)
The rooms are large and clean. The veranda opens onto a flowered garden where there is a shower. The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay: TV, refrigerator, kettle, safe, two wardrobes, dressing table, table and 2 chairs, double bed. Equipped bathroom. Even the Petit Village economy class bungalow, after the cap. repair, they look very decent having everything that I wrote about above. The bathroom, which guests used to have complaints about the hotel administration, now looks very dignified: a shower, a bathtub, a bidet, a large mirror and the most beautiful thing is that the bathroom window overlooks a blooming garden. The view is amazing
Service in the hotel (range and quality of services)
Cleaned daily and well. Always changed towels. There were no problems (tip 10 rubles. )
Nutrition (quantity and quality)
The food is very good and varied. Buffet. For breakfast, all drinks are free: water, juices, tea, coffee. The order for drinks is taken by a waitress (Creole) with bare feet standing on the sea sand. The floor in the restaurant replaces the sea sand. At dinner, you have to pay for all drinks. For example 1.5 lit. a bottle of water costs 100 rubles. Pleased: a large assortment of fish dishes. Which, unfortunately, is not always found in many coastal countries. By the way. Drinking water flows from the tap in the room. Boil and brew coffee. There is a kettle. Coffee and tea bags in the room for free. There is a small shop outside the hotel. Everything is much cheaper there than in a hotel bar or in a room bar. By the way. Do not try to use the bar in the room is not noticeable. Taking something (when the soul burns) and then report the same product bought in the store.
Basically, everyone rode, on bicycles, to Source Dargent Beach. Although, to be honest, it’s a bit small there. There are several full beaches on the other side of the island. These are Grand Ance and Petite Ance. But you don't go there. 40 minutes by bike through the mountains. I've been once and that's enough for me. He suffered physical, moral and financial damage (due to his carelessness) It is very difficult to get to Anse Cocos beach. There is no bike path.
Who is the hotel aimed at?
Relax
Hotel Advantages
Very nice hotel and closest to Source Dargent beach. 10 minutes by bike. Bicycles can be rented for any number of days at the hotel entrance. The price is 10 euros per day (a little expensive), although other tourists called me lower prices of 6 euros. If you take it for one day, then you need to return it before 17:00. You should not take it for a long time. We don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow. In our case, it rained for two days and the bike was not needed.
Disadvantages of the hotel
Insufficient illumination of the hotel territory in the evening (or maybe it is so intended) Darkness is a friend of youth ...
Hotel Features
A very beautiful sunset. The sun sets behind Praslin
