Chalet Cardinal

Die Lage war für uns optimal: direkt am sehr sauberen Meer, langer Strand der fast immer menschenleer war und im Süden gelegen, wo es viele Sachen gibt zum Erleben (Wasserfälle, Wanderungen, Vanille-Plantage, Märkte, etc). Ein Mietwagen ist von Vorteil.

Es gibt überhaupt nichts zu beklagen. Wenn jemand ein Luxusappartement sucht, könnte bei einigen Einrichtungsgegenständen und beim etwas zusammengewürfelten Einrichtungsstil etwas negativ überrascht werden. Für uns hat es gepasst und es war stimmig.

Beautiful peaceful environment. Authenticity, scenery, beach house with pool /like from a catalog/, the house had everything you need. Simple but nice. Mrs. Davina was helpful and available at any time.

We were there at the beginning of the rainy season and in one of the bedrooms the ceiling dripped onto the bed when it rained. The accommodation is in the south of the island where you don't expect a busy life or lots of shops. Those are probably the only negatives.

Spacious villa with very nice garden and swimming pool. Tranquil place directly on the beach. Comfortable beds with good quality pillows. Well equipped kitchen. Sitting outside inviting for breakfast and sunset.

Issue at arrival as the house keeper did not get any information about our arrival. Many sea urchins on the beach and water shoes are needed. Fighting with the ants in the kitchen.

Excellent villa with private pool, beach access and located in not so crowded area. Great service and attention from the staff. One day wi-fi was not working due to some technical failure and Davina personally spent time to make sure that technician fixed the issues. We went for fishing and caught some fish. Sapna did the cooking and curry was outstanding. Overall very clean, nice and well equipped property. Pool was a really nice bonus. Recommended for a romantic holiday.

Just to set the expectations right. First of all - you need a car. There is nothing around in a walking distance. We rented a car from the person recommended by villa owners. Car condition was good, Collection and return with no hassle, except some misunderstanding with payment which was sorted out amicably. Make sure to get a receipt for your payment. Second - there is a direct access to the beach, but the ocean is not swimmable at this place. You can plunge in during the high tide and observe a number of different strange creatures during the low tide. Need a car to go to other beaches for swimming in the ocean, but you will need a car and will be exploring the island anyway. In general all these are not the problems, just the peculiarities that need to be noted.

Davina was the best part about this property. She was always kind and did her best to make the changes that I requested regarding the bed (to add a comforter) and the curtains (which were transparent).

There was a lot of noise. On the first night there was a party with loud screaming karaoke that lasted until 1am. On the third night a loud alarm went off at 2:30am. My mattress was very hard. The bedroom ceiling leaked. The pool was too deep for kids, it was not mentioned in the ad. There’s a dangerous shelf in the living room that hurt my 5 year old son on the cheek. The pots and pans were not in good shape. There was only 1 single bin liner offered for a 5 day stay. No dishwashing liquid. No teabags. This place was not comfortable at all. I left after 3 days even though I had already paid for a 5 day stay.
