La Pirogue Reviews

This is the second time we have been to La Pirogue - and it is even better than our first visit on honeymoon in 1998. Overall we strongly recommend this hotel and will have no hesitation in returning. We stayed in a Standard Room this time - and it was noticeably smaller than the Superior rooms. The beach, restaurant, room service, gardens and general environment are first class - and the hotel is certainly worth its 4* rating. Not much to criticise - the mini bar was expensive, wine at dinner was expensive - thats about it really. Oh, we had a snake in our room the night before we left - room service arrived almost before I had put the phone down to remove the beast - it was not poisionous.

Having stayed in the Le Coco Beach for the first part of our honeymoon we transferred to the La Pirogue for the last few days of our holiday - we were not disappointed.

All rooms are in traditional thatched cottages set in the gardens - we stayed in a standard room. Accommodation was excellent but some of the items in the mini bar were not all inclusive unlike the Le Coco Beach - be careful. This was classed as a 4* Hotel and in certain ways it showed. If you have the opportunity to go to the beach barbecue- do not miss it, it was for us an experience we will never forget.

The staff as per the Le Coco Beach were first class and the room service was excellent. Unfortunately we were only there for a few days before our return to the UK and our evaluation is based on this timetable. There were occasions when in our opinion it was a little too formal but nonetheless this was after all a 4* Plus hotel and we enjoyed every minute. On the last day we had a late departure but our 'all inclusive' lasted until we left the hotel which made a big difference to the usual last day, last minute preparations - quite a plus for the hotel.

We would have no hesitation going back to La Pirogue
