Top 10 hotels in Reunion Island,

August 11, 2022 Etsuko Causey

Home to one of the world's most active volcanoes, snow-capped Piton de Fournaise, Reunion is a little known gem. This rocky, French-governed island off the coast of East Africa is easily explored by Les Cars Jaunes, yellow buses that link main settlements. The road into the mountains provides breathtaking scenery. Bike tours on rough back roads are an option for the brave and the extremely fit. Beyond the reach of cars, untamed village Cirque de Mafate shows the island's wildest side.

LUXHotel - Saint Gilles

Located on the western coast of this lush volcanic island, LUX Saint Gilles (formerly LUX Ile de La Reunion) faces a shimmering expanse of aqua-blue waters, fringed by a stretch of immaculate sands. Tucked away in acres of beautiful tropical gardens, Creole villas sit in the shade of coconut palms and filao trees, just steps from the coral-sheltered lagoon at L'Hermitage.

Avoid this dreadful hotel

Reviewed By browneyes123

The worst hotel I've ever been to - definitely not a 5* hotel as advertised. Please, please do not book this hotel - it is a 3* hotel at best, masquerading as a 5* hotel. We booked 5 nights as part of our honeymoon and it ruined the whole trip for us. The rooms are old, dated, drab and smelly. Our room had a nasty smell I think from the furniture which I believe the hotel was trying to conceal by putting air freshener inside the Aircon unit which was giving me a headache - similar to a previous review below. Moreover the the bathrooms have black mould in them - see photos. Food-wise - the evening buffet is not good at all. The currys were all unappetising often using recycled food... Lots of the food on offer was basically untouched by the evening because it was so unappetising. It's the only buffet I've ever been to where the previous nights' dinners (eg gyozas) are then on offer the following morning! And it's supposed to be a 5* hotel! Here comes the good bit..the service. Some of the staff were ok and friendly but when we complained about our room - we were met with a rude member of staff who never apologized or uttered the words sorry regarding our experience. Similarly, when a waiter accidentally brought the wrong drink to us at dinner, there was no apology for the misunderstanding, he simply walked off and another waiter took the order. Truly shocking in my opinion! The only selling point is the beachfront location - but do not let this mislead you.

Reviewed By 143papad

Stayed from sunday 5th of june lunchtime for one night. Lunch was great : fresh food, imaginative cooking - I took the shrimps with coconut flavour as a starter, and then the "legine" fish. Side vegetable were delicious. Plates are beautifull, so the pleasure starts with looking at the food. Diner was great too : a pure moment of happiness on the restaurant's terrass. Must say I missed breakfast cause I didn't hear the clock alarm (beds and pillows are very comfortable, so are sheets). Even though time was over, the restaurant manager organized a "mini" continental breakfast plate for me : croissant, bread, cheese, ham, 4 types of fruits. Lovely ! The crew is dedicated, available and always kind and smilling. Although the majority of it is young, they are already professionnal and do really care ! The only problem I encounter was with the hammam I had booked for a 45 min relaxing session : didn't work well as temperature was too low. I reported to the front desk clerk, who apologized. And then spontaneously told me I would'nt be charged. I took the time to write this review cause it was an excellent experience, and the team deserves it ! My name is Laurent, I am a real local guest, and most of all a demanding client.

Highly recommended option

Reviewed By Eva T

I was very surprised when I saw the room dimensions. I could not believe it had a nice balcony, with chairs and table. the hotel restaurant, the location, great. The pool is heated, and that was another pleasant surprise. Downside is the poor soundproofing of the room. First evenening had to hear the couple next door coupling. The other two nights was entertained by next door's screaming baby, who chose to scream insted of communicate. The rooms are only separated by a door. Also, missed a good continental breakfast with a bit more hot options. Ommeletes or fresh juice would be appreciated. Considering the nice meals the restaurant can make the breakfast options were not up to standard. However, the whole stay was extremely pleasant.

Excellent staff and restaurant

Reviewed By Svein_Grahnstedt

What makes this hotel stand out is its fantastic staff and excellent restaurant at lunch / dinner. Everybody are really friendly and service minded and meets you with a smile. Restaurant service is efficient and the dishes are beautifully presented as well as tasting really good. Breakfast is adequate but unremarkable. The building itself, located two minutes from the beach, is unpretentious, but well kept and clean. The ground floor and restaurant is wheelchair accessible. However, the hotel does not have a lift. The rooms are spacious with large comfortable beds. Some might find soundproofing somewhat limited. WiFi coverage is fast and reliable throughout the premises. Given the opportunity I would definitely stay again.

Good value for money in Saint-Gilles

Reviewed By rfroidevaux

Good value for money when looking for a 3 stars hotel in St-Gilles-les-Bains. We selected a studio which had an outdoor kitchen and large bathroom. There is also a shared pool to enjoy before 3pm to avoid the shadow. Make sure you have a car before booking this hotel as it is a must. The location is 2km from the downtown on the hills and you’ll definitely not enjoy the stay without a car ;-) We also found the double beds a bit small, at least smaller than average.
