Situated right on the beach at Saint Gilles Les Bains, the hotel is spread over a few hectares of land. Its location in the village makes it easy to access facilities like public transportation, shops and restaurants. The hotel has a very relaxing atmosphere, and is ideal for families as well as couples. The design is modern Creole style. The property offers 42 guest rooms, a lobby, hotel safe, bar, conference facilities, room and laundry services and a car park. All rooms are spacious and have satellite TV, a minibar and wireless Internet access free of charge. The light colours give each room a fresh look. Opening onto the ocean or garden, the balconies and terraces add brightness to the decoration and give more space to relax. The en suite bathrooms are fitted with a shower, bath and a hairdryer. Guests may store their valuables in the room safe and individually regulated air conditioning in the rooms ensure a comfortable stay. The hotel organises activities such as trekking, hiking, golf and shopping trips upon request. The proximity of Saint Gilles les Bains makes it easy to access points where deep sea fishing starts. Tennis, mountain bike rides, canyoning, diving and horse riding are also available. The golf course in Saint Gilles les Hauts is roughly 6 km away. Guests may take a refreshing dip in the outdoor swimming pool. Sun loungers and parasols are laid out for use. Coming from Saint-Denis, take Route du Tamarins. Go through Eperon, then Boucan Canot and continue until Route du Théâtre. At the roundabout Quick, turn right to meet the national road and then take the second road on the right to arrive at the car park of the hotel.
