  Good place, but overpriced for a basic room

  Good points: Located a bit outside Grand Baie, hence more peaceful area. The entrance/ground floor is a restaurant, and rooms are on the ground and first floor. Swimming pool is at the back and calm place. The hosts are a middle-age french couple, who really helps. A great night club is 5 mins walk distance. An amazing home-made pizza at the restaurant! Bad points: Poor check-in, where I was given a tiny room (the size of my home shower room), but after complaining, the receptionist agreed to move me to a larger room. There are no views from the room, its directly on the neighbours' window. No indoor parking, had to park on the street. No "good beach" or grocery shop in walking distance. I like the place, and will probably go again because the hosts were good, but the pricing is too much for a relatively simple place.

  Poor Experience from Start to Finish

  I took the recommendation from the Lonely Planet to stay here. I walked in without a reservation and was advised that the room was 61 for a single room, which I thought was higher than it should be for the size of the room. I did have a look at a couple of other places briefly with the taxi driver but decided to come back to stay. I advised I wanted to stay probably a couple of nights and would most likely extend. I was told that I had to pay the money before booking, which I challenged as this is not the norm. The owner arrived and told me that I had to pay the money (and 4% added with a credit card which is not applied in any other hotel Ive stayed) before checking into the room which I challenged again. Her view was that shes had two people who left without payment and if I could not commit to more than 2 nights she needed to keep the room open for internet bookings. She was completed dismissive of customer care, was hugely disinterested and I felt that the only thing she wanted cynically was money. I paid and stayed. The room was small and over priced. There are only local channels on tv. The breakfast was extremely disappointing with poor selection and quality of fruit. The coffee was satisfactory and when I asked for a third cup I was told that I would have to pay for it. Next, when I tried to retrieve my contents from the safe, the door would not open with my passcode. I advised the receptionist who tried to open it with a key, but was unable to do so as the safe was a new one. She tried to phone the owner, but could not reach her for some time and there was no voice mail to leave a message(the husband had gone diving for the day but the receptionist couldnt confirm where and when the owner (wife) would turn up/be available). I was left waiting indefinitely with no initiative from the receptionist or timescale for the owner to turn up so I asked her to phone the locksmith and police to see if they could at least open the safe. Eventually after extensive chasing, the owner then phoned and turned up 30 minutes later (she said she would be there in 20 minutes) after I first alerted the staff over 80 minutes ago. In the meantime, the maid asked me when I was leaving so she could tidy the room. The owner arrived and opened the safe (after going into the office to retrieve the key) and when I asked her why there was no spare key kept with the staff, she said because she didnt want the staff to have access to it (highly disingenuous, verging on lies given that they had access to the key for the majority of the older safes and doesnt engender confidence or trust in the owner or her team). When I and the maid took my luggage down the receptionist and staff were no way to be seen and didnt bother to assist with my luggage. The treatment is poor and cynical, focused on money. Im staying in much nicer guest house for practically half the price with exceptional customer service. I would recommend that others sat elsewhere.

  A little to laid back for us and some TLC would help

  We found this to be an odd place and in need of a bit of TLC. Our room was an ok size but an odd bathroom arrangement and the balcony had no view. The atmosphere is very relaxed and at times felt like a can not be bother attitude from some of the staff. This was not helped by an item of ours 'disappearing' when we knew we had left it in reception and no one seemed to care that much. There is a small pool, which most days we had to ourselves, but the area could have bee kept a little cleaner. The seating area and cover could not be used and probably could do with replacing. They have a set breakfast which is ok and probably sufficient but not as good as other places we stayed on the island. There is a good cheap bus service to the beach and to the town ad some ok restaurants nearby

  Excellent, if you don´t expect luxury

  I was at Sous Le Badamier 4 nights at the end of September. This is a little and very friendly hotel; rooms are ok, large and all was functioning at bathroom, lights, television, etc. Very good breakfast - and the ladies are very kind. The (fat) girl at reception was not so kind - when asked about possibility of room late check out, she immediately said "no" - despite hotel was almost empty. And I told her that we are travel agents from Portugal - colleagues, so...!! But, next day, when I asked the owner (a French lady), she kindly said yes, and she offer us a bier... Hotel is not situated near the beach - but, by bus (there are a lot), the absolutely magnificent beach of Mont Choisy is just some few minutes away. We´ll recommend this little hotel to our clients.

  Nice stay

  We spent one night here. Room was very clean and spacious. We appreciated the little balcony. Breakfast is a bit poor, didn't like the coffee which seams to be homemade and watered. Overall we liked it here.
