    No swimming pool. Beds were not the most comfy but passable. Make sure to ask if your room has a bar fridge.

    Close to beach, taxi, car rental. Helpful and friendly staff. Very clean. Lovely bathrooms. Nice common kitchen.

    Great Spot!

    The bathroom windows didn't seal when closed allowing mosquitos an entry point so we bought tape and covered the spots so the room was mosquito free from then on.

    After doing lots of research about where to stay in Mauritius we choose Perebeye and the Dodola Lodge. The room was perfect. We choose one with a kitchenette. There was a drying rack on the patio although the cloths dried best in the room as it was humid outside. They have a shared kitchen with a fridge and cooking area if you didn’t go the kitchenette route but to have everything you need in the room was amazing, glassware, plates, utensils, mugs, kettle, fridge, hand towel, cutting board, microwave and counter space. They even provide a sponge and liquid soap. The only thing missing was an ice cube tray. We improvised and made ice using small paper cups and at one point even aluminum muffin tins. The hotel provides soap but no shampoo or conditioner. The shower has plenty of hot water and the aircon works great. There are black out curtains and a safe in the room. Beach towels are available at 50MR each and you can keep them as long as you like. Mitch was helpful in any info we needed and responded to my emails quickly before arrival. The grocery store is less than a 5 minute walk away and has everything you could want. The fresh baked baguette ( 9MR ) was a staple for sure. A 6 pack of phoenix beer about 375 MR. The location is great, and since on a side street very quiet. 2 min walk to an ATM, fried chicken, pizza, crepes, 3 min walk to the bus and an amazing food truck at the beach, 4 min walk to the taxi stand, 4 or 5 restaurants and then the super market. The beach is great, crowded with locals enjoying, picnicking, a pentanque court and playing music. The sun sets right into the ocean – the view is incredible. The bus to Grand Baie takes 5 minutes and is 24 MR. In terms of exercise by walking there are no side walks and the cars go whizzing by, if you bring water shoes you can start on the beach and continue to the right and walk all the way to another long stretch of beach.

    The air condition was not very strong. There is no fridge in the room :( The beach just front to the hotel is not that good (despite what google rating says). It is too crowded and the less crowded parts are not easily accessible.

    Room is very nice and spacious. Wifi worked very well. The property is very safe with gate and a night guard - not sure if necessary but they definitely make sure all is safe. Plenty of nice restaurants around. Private parking lot is just behind the building.

    The TVs are weirdly placed and are not smart TVs so you really can’t watch anything on them unless you carry some movies on a USB drive.

    Very well located; it’s close to many amenities like the supermarket, lots of restaurants; the bus stop and the beach. The WiFi connection is also great. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful.

    The bathroom has an interesting style, but we quickly realised that the design was more dangerous than nice. The floor is uneven, a mix of pavement and holes with sea stones. at first glance you say wow, but after 15 minutes I almost injured myself while walking in the bathroom.

    The rooms are nice, there is a nice beach very close to the apartment, a couple of restaurants and a bar to enjoy the evening.

    it’d have been nice if the lodge had its own breakfast, but not big deal as you’d still be able to grab breakfast at one of the cafes nearby.

    Beautiful boutique lodge, strategically located near Pereybere beach. Rooms are clean & comfy, staff very helpful and kind, and you have all key things you need nearby.

    The bed was too hard for me and pillows were too high. lack of water pressure and hot water in the sink. limescale in the toilet. Communal kitchen area needs to be cleaned better. Drawer fronts, microwave felt sticky. Although is was a great convenience to have access to a kitchen, which is well equipped. The do have rooms with kitchenettes so if you need a kitchen maybe book one of those. There is sometimes sewage smell in the bathroom.

    location location location ! 1 min away from the best beach in Mauritius. 5 mins from the nearest supermarket. Its clean, affordable, felt like home really. Rooms were cleaned everyday. Kim really is lovely, we spent quite a few evenings talking about island life. Unlike a 5star hotel which can feel quite sterile and functional, this had a home away from home feeling. It’s family friendly we had 2 kids aged 5 and 2. Kim is really helpful in suggesting and planning visit to other places. The cleaners and staff are lovely and non intrusive. There are food places as soon as you walk out the hotel. it’s in a very safe area but Maritius is very safe overall. the bus stop is 1 minute away. Grand baie by bus is about a 5 minute journey.

    The way they designed the bathroom with a glas door just next to the bed. So if you wanna use the restroom and don’t want your partner or friend to be part of it you have to use a roll curtain. It wasn’t a problem, just something I would change somehow :)

    Staff: very professional, when we had to switch rooms, always welcoming and helpful with a smile on their face Location: In a little street, so you don’t hear that much of the main street, but just kind of across the beach. Just grab your towel and enjoy the beach. Wifi: Very good. There is a router in every room. Shared kitchen: All you need to prepare a meal. Kitchen was clean Room: Clean and spacious Balcony: Chairs and a table to chill. We had palm trees just in front, so it felt like we are really somewhere in a jungle and not in a village. And the balcony had a roof, so when it rained we were still able to chill outside. There was a clothing rack. Definitively worth the money!
