“not my cup of tea for several reasons”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The staff at the reception and the staff at the reception area were quite hautain, we did not feel very welcome at all. Staff at the restaurant was very kind.
Imagine if you did not want to attend the evening buffet, you could eat at the a la carte restaurant, but you had to pay the bill for100% so no discount. Our experience at a hotel in Mahe was a discount of 25 Euro if we wanted to eat in the restaurant instead of the buffet.
We were staying at a villa de charme, most charming indeed, lovely bathroom, but the walking in closet was hilarious, if you wanted to find your clothes your had to crawl over your bags to find the light at the back at floor level

14 February 2012
Dear Limburg 353,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate the opportunity offered to us to welcome you in our hotel.

Your various comments have been seriously taken into consideration. We regret that you left our property with mixed feelings but hope that you could enjoy the rest of our different hotel services, as well as the authenticity of La Digue island and its most beautiful awarded beaches.

For your entertainment, an infinity swimming pool as well as two bars (the Pool Bar and the Alambic Bar) welcome you on the seafront. In addition to these facilities, the Combava “a la carte” restaurant as well as the Santosha restaurant, a buffet & live cooking outlet, are both the ideal places to unwind in a tropical and chic atmosphere overlooking the Indian Ocean.

The Santosha restaurants serves various local specialties in eclectic mix live cooking style and buffet with the “catch of the day”. Dinners are thematic and are changing on a daily basis : Creole, Fishermen, Asian, International, Arabic, Italian, Indian… When booking half-board basis at Le Domaine, you get access to the Santosha restaurant and your private table is always booked there.

The Combava restaurant (the “a la carte” – gourmet outlet) is also open every day except on Wednesday for dinner. The Combava is an exquisitely designed roof terrace lounge serving à la carte food only, where advanced reservations are recommended. As the half board basis allows you to access only our Santosha restaurant, we can then recommend that you book your stay on bed and breakfast (B&B) basis only, so you are more flexible to choose your dining option, between “a la carte” or “thematic buffet and live cooking”, at applicable menu rates in both restaurants.

Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We look forward to another opportunity to welcome you at Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie soon,

Kind regards,
Philippe CORNAILLE
Resident Manager

We staued there, getting married at the place. Cosy, idyllic, quiet, good service, +++ Could not have been any better. Bikes for rent, short distance to shop, beach. Breakfast outside on the balcony was served every day. Dream of going back some day.

“Finally a perfect place to stay in La Digue”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011
4
people found this review helpful

7 nights Villa de Charme

PROs:

The very location of this establishment, that is the La Digue island, is the most important PRO.
The Villas are beautiful. The decoration and attention to detail can rival any top resort chain worldwide.
The outdoor bathrooms play a crucial role in this.
Good quality dining options, best in La Digue for us, even if we were initially planning not to spend our evenings in the hotel.
Pool area is nice.
Cool bar area in the evening. Too bad they close at 10.30pm.

CONs:

There is still some construction work going on near the beach. The hotel beach itself is disappointing but some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are located close by so this shouldn't be an issue. Get a bike and visit them.
The internet connection in the rooms is a disgrace, do something about it!
Friday and saturday nights are likely to be noisy, there must be some local disco playing all that loud music till 4 am in the morning.
The local band playing live near the dining area was not really our thing. They should stick mostly to local creole songs which they do play well and not attempt to mimic international artists.

Spending a week in La Digue while staying at Le Domaine is a must! Do not expect wild parties and nightlife though.

Have fun in the Seychelles.

Room Tip: Villa de Charme or more.

“Luxury, done tastefully”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent three days of our honeymoon at Le Domaine. The whole place has this amazing atmosphere of tranquility. The staff are discreet and unobtrusive, yet always near at hand if you need anything - and very friendly. We decided to go for a Villa de Charme. The extra price tag is a bit steep (we didn't have a choice since the Garden Villas were sold out) but you do get added privacy, an amazing view, and very luxurious accommodation. The outdoor bathroom was particularly nice. The hotel has bikes you can borrow for free, which you should definitely make use of - biking down to Anse Source d'Argent, or up around the tip of the island to the less frequented beaches on the other side. La Passe is walking distance, but there's not much to do there. The main thing with Le Domaine, however, is really the ambiance of the place. Combined with its spectacular location, its discreet staff, and its great food, Le Domaine has conquered the spot at the very top of my personal list of places worldwide.
