Losmen di Kosta Rika

"Thank you for a wonderful stay at La Vielle, the setting was stunning, our cottage tranquil and gorgeous, and the staff so friendly and accomodating. We loved walking the trails, visiting the plunge pool with the amazing vista, and the food was excellent. The best place I've stayed in Mauritius."

There was nothing we didn't like it was perfect!

"It was quirky and a lovely cosy space to base ourselves. Very close to the airport and next to the harbour in the town. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The loft bed was something different too and cosy and comfortable. The owner was great and friendly. We had absolutely no issues and hope to go again someday."

"The location was excellent in every detail . Apart from the very cosy and interesting architecture , I appreciated the quality of the small things in the room , like sheets , furniture , and bathroom finishes, things that make your stay very pleasant. I also appreciated the perfect cleanliness and staff hospitality."

"The huts are amazing, great location max. 3 minutes from the slope if you stay in the furthest one. They’re clean and warm, have all the things you need to cook a pretty decent dinner for a couple of people and there’s even sponges and dish soap at the property. The huts are very warm and they stay that way during the night so you won’t be cold. The owner is great and is quick to offer whatever help you need. It’s a quiet place without many people going through and you can’t hear anything going on in the other houses. The WiFi is very good and each hut has its own router."

The towels provided are every small (basically hand towels) - that’s not bad really but it’d be nice if that information was provided. Kind of no place to put your skis and snowboards except on the small terrace - unless you’d like them in your bedroom - but that’s not a big problem.

"Lodge was great with comfortable room, excellent buffet dining room facility and small swimming pool to cool off in between excursions. The highlights are the 2-3 times daily excursions which really make the high cost absolutely worth it. Our guide, Alfredo, was amazing, bi-lingual, sensitive to the local environment and even played the guitar over dinner and breakfast!"

Only downside really is the fact that there is only 1 included boat time to the lodge and back from Iquitos. We had to pay $180 extra for a personal boat because LatAm airlines brought our flight forward - not the lodge's fault, but something to look out for.

"Principalmente l'accoglienza e la disponibilità, pulizia impeccabile,cena e colazione ottima e abbondante"

"Best location ever! So close to the ocean you can walk straight to it at 5 AM for a morning swim. Great swimming pool, and the Green Turtle restaurant was awesome."

"Nice forest hut on the edge of a forest - 10 min to a beach by foot. You are really almost in the middle of nature here. The forest was full of blackberries when we were there. The kitchenette corner is smallish but sufficient to make a meal for a family of four."

It may be a bit challenging to find the right road leading to the house, but we managed. Go past the road leading to the two storey apartment houses, and turn to the left of the warehouse-like structure which is further on the road.

"Perfect location in the village. Very friendly host. Amazing service. Good dinners. Efficient organisation of boat trips etc."

Nothing

"So tranquil and secluded. Surround by animals and nature. It was pure bliss, an escape from the city. We were treated like royalty, no request was too much. Credit to the staff for their attentiveness and diligence."

"Prachtig locatie, uitzicht adembenemend. Mooie kamers en heerlijk zwembad. Erg goed personeel. Pluim voor Eric!"

Het eten en drinken. Er was veel niet aanwezig van wat er op de kaart stond. Zowel van het eten als het drinken. Dat mag niet mogelijk zijn voor de prijs die je betaalt.

"The food, staff, rooms, and facilities. The views were majestic"

"Large room. Great hot water. Friendly helpful staff. Make sure you book the aircon room though. It is a different price on Booking.com but well worth the extra money in the heat."

Nothing.

"Location - the location is incredible. The waterhole was amazing for viewing rhinos from about 5-10 metres away. It’s easy to spend a day just sitting there watching hippos, rhinos, impala, warthogs, a crocodile and lots of birds. Activities - The rhino game drive and bush walk were great with more rhinos to see. The guides were very informative about the animals and the culture of eSwatini. Staff - all of the staff were very friendly and helpful at reception and the restaurant. Room experience - The room we had was a little worn but absolutely spotless. It was a really different experience having no electricity and making use of a paraffin lamp and a candle. The outdoor area had a nice seating area and fire/bbq/braai available."

Room - I appreciate we were in a wildlife park but it was a bit disconcerting to have had to release a bat from our mosquito net on our first night and then another one (or maybe the same, who knows) from behind a curtain on our second night. Even more tricky when the only light is a paraffin lamp and a candle. Maybe we were just unlucky. Activity scheduling - We arranged a rhino drive in advance but then were told we’d have to go at a different time because a large group was arriving that day. Not a big deal but a bit disappointing to be bumped from our time. We also went on a bush walk but couldn’t fix a time for that until the large bus tour group decided what they were doing. The lady at reception was very nice about it but it was hard to make best use of our time not knowing which activities were available and when. Food - the food in the restaurant wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. They cater for large bus groups so the buffet was good but the a la carte food was not as good. Our dinner arrived a little cold and didn’t feel like it was prepared from fresh. The breakfast was nice enough. All the food and drinks are inexpensive though.

"Gilles & Henriette were superb hosts and made us feel at home. The setting is so tranquil and like a home from home. Breakfast was an unexpected highlight - especially the delicious homemade jams and coconut bread, plus the fruit from the garden. Don't miss sunset drinks and dinner at the Opoa Beach Hotel down the road - plus there's tasty pizza on offer next door too."

Nothing - it was all great. However, be prepared for a steep drive down to the property. We were glad we arrived in daylight. 🙂

"Location was ideal for any work close to the university. The food given for breakfast was delicious and dinner was great at a great price."

"Pristine location, quiet, clean, well designed. Very friendly and helpful staff"

Water heater present, but no warm water in the shower or bath. Bath didn't drain.

"Very comfortable structure, in nature, excellent for those looking for peace and tranquillity"

Niente di particolare

"I loved that it was nestled in its own private space. There are 4 lodges in the vicinity and all have their own balcony’s that you can enjoy individually. Our water pressure was great. Also the unit was nice and clean."

Nothing: We actually didn’t book the transfers cause we had another vehicle organised however that fell through. But mama let us go first to the lodge and she’d wait at the airport. Lucky she got a ride back home from the family at airport. She has an immense amount of responsibility and knowledge of the island. As a local to Rarotonga people like her are very rare to be around. I am so grateful to have had crossed paths with her. Na te Atua I tauturu iakoe e Mama Manarangi. Maroiroi koe I toou oraanga. Meitaki atupaka kiakoe no te akonoanga ia tatou.

"Lovely guesthouse in a beautiful location. Bed was super comfortable and her cooking was one of the best we had on our hike. We would have extended our stay longer if she had availability."

"Amazing pool! Great staff always around to help if you need anything. You feel like you’re in the bush with a lovely view of Lion Rock from our treehouse balcony. Within walking distance to both rocks and some local restaurants just down the road. Breakfasts were good."

Possibly a bit overpriced for the very basic accomodation.

"Great location on the beach. It had a kitchen if you were self catering. Plenty of great spotS to sit and enjoy the view"

A little hard to find.
