Liked: Proximity to supermarket, beach & restaurants. We were offered to use the villa which was great as the younger group could join us for barbeques. Recommend that you book the villa if you have the chance. It has a small garden and you can park your car there. All staff friendly and helpful. We also booked most of our tours through them as well. Thouroughly recommended.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: We had an enjoyable stay at the Monalysa Bungalows in Grand Bay. Staff ensured our transfers to and from the airport were hassle free and were very helpful throughout our stay. The staff even helped us to organise our accomadation for our trip to Rodrigues by speaking french on our behalf! The company offers a wide range of local tours, and the rates are lower than the other touts in town. They are also not at all pushy about selling their tours which is refreshing. The apartment was spotlessly clean on arrival and was also given a thorough clean every 3 days, it was modern and well equipped and very secure. Location is very convenient for explooring the whole island as bus stops are nearby. Beautiful beaches and an enourmous supermarket are close by.

Disliked: Nothing, great experience.

Liked: the appartment was really big, very clean and had everything you needs: oven, microwave, coffee maker the location is unbeatable: it's in the absolute city-center of Grand Baie, but in a side-road of the main traffic road. The beach is about 2 minutes by food. The staff was very kind and helped us with every little problem we had. For example, we couldn't connect to the internet at first, so all the staff did its best to help us in restarting their own modems and so on. I also forgot my sunglasses over there, but it was no problem. I wrote an eMail and the next day my sunglasses were brought by another guest to La Réunion, where I stay. I was really overwhelmed by a service like this

Disliked: no comment

Liked: Stayed 8 nights at Monalysa bungalows. The apartment was very clean and spacious with a separate kitchen , bathroom and a large balcony. The location and facilities were excellent, the owners very friendly and helpful. A big advantage of Monalysa is that being also a tour operator they can help you renting a car, arrangeing excursions etc.
