Hotel des Roches

PERSONNEL EXÉCRABLE !!!! Ayant un besoin urgent d'accéder à des toilettes, ma compagne s'est présentée à l'accueil de cet hôtel qui lui a présenté une fin de non recevoir. Il faut préciser que j'avais connu cet hôtel lors de précédents voyages pour mon travail et qu'en 14 ans son entretien général semble absent !!! Des avis de locaux vont dans ce sens...

Avoid this place. First, and probably most important, is the air conditioning doesn’t work well. The air inside the bedrooms is damp and full of mold. I tried to check out early, but they refused to do so without charging me for the full week charge. I felt trapped. The rooms are dirty, the public area is dirty, the gym is filthy, and the parking lot is used as a hangout for local teenagers who litter the grounds with trash and bottles. If you think you will go to the beach, you won’t it is mud. The place is in serious need of being raised. It is a health hazard. I was happy to have a fresh tetanus shot before arriving.

The property itself is a bit dated and could certainly do with a facelift. But the stunning beachfront location more than makes up for the dated luxury and is certainly one of the best options for a stay in Korou LOCATION: Excellent Oceanfront location at the tip of the town! DINE + DRINK: No Bar, just a bland big restaurant. The terrace seating looked wonderful in the pics, but they were not laid out because of the rainy season when we visited! ROOM: We stayed in Room 108, so this review is based on that; VIEW: Spectacular view of the Ocean and the swinging Palm trees from the Lovely balcony attached to the room; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting me to sleep; BATHROOM: Stand-in shower; TOILETRIES: Good Cosmetics FACILITIES: The pool was closed when we visited, so cannot review it. Super basic and dated Gym with a basic range of weights and worn-out machines! SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all our needs with a smile and made us feel at home and well taken care of. HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free Meidum-speed Wi-Fi(35 Mbps) that works well all over the property. Odd foreign Plasma TV screen dishing out a wide variety of channels spanning sports, news, music, movies, and entertainment - But ONLY IN FRENCH!!! So if you don't understand french, don't even bother turning on the Telly!

Stayed 2 nights - had to get the mattress changed after the first night and the second night the restaurant was closed for a private function so had to eat out… however the hotel is in a great location with easy access for the islands and space centre Was lovely having breakfast al fresco
