Travel reviews by Mr K from Sandy

"I enjoyed Indian Ocean Lodge. The room was nice, with a lovely spacious veranda.

There was lots of choice for breakfast, and evening meal was good the couple of times I ate there.

Watching the sunset over Cousine and Cousin islands was great."

"Chateau St Cloud has a fantastic location, with beautiful grounds. The food was good - I only ate in the restaurant when the buffet was on.

I was in a standard room, which was just that. The newer, refurbished rooms look great and the grounds immaculate. I just wish they had put as much attention to detail into my room. It was perfectly fine for the three nights I was there, and certainly big enough, it just could do with a little refurb. I'd recommend a superior room if budget allows."

"A wonderful experience!

The rooms are big, airy and immaculate. The view over Victoria is stunning.

If that wasn't enough, what really sets this place apart is the hospitality from the owners. I ate there every night as they were so hospitable and the food so good. As a single traveller it was great to have some wonderful company!

I'd recommend Le Sans Souci to anyone."

"Bird Island is amazing. The birds are superb. The sense of community is wonderful too - as a single traveller I never once ate alone and had several offers to join people every day! The rooms are comfortable and plenty big enough. It's not five star luxury - but you go for the birds, to get away from it all and the snorkelling.

The food is good, sometimes a bit simple, but it's all part of a buffet, so there's plenty to go around and it's all very tasty. I loved the whole experience on Bird and would have happily stayed longer. Many of the other guests I spoke to go back year after year."
