Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included and meals in the restaurant were excellently prepared. A very nice little boutique accommodation. Not a fan of the cold showers and fans in the restaurant would benefit staff and guests.

Comfortable and modern

The staff were very pleasant and always helpful. The room was as depicted - spacious and comfortable. It was great to have a choice between a very effective AC or overhead fan. Mon Choisy beach was within easy walking distance and the bus stops are even closer with cheap fares and easy access to Grand Baie and beyond. There are also several restaurants/cafes within walking distance.

Beautiful, quiet hotel

We stayed for 2 nights at Esprit Libre. We had breakfast, lunch and one evening meal and all our meals were excellent. The small pool was a welcome haven after temperatures of 27 to 30 degrees. We had a junior suite and it was very modern, spacious and very comfortable. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. The free WiFi was especially appreciated - we were able to log on easily and quickly from outside (pool area, bar/restaurant) as well as from our room. Highly recommended.

Small friendly guest house

Stayed four nights in this small friendly guest house. Lovely beach 10 minutes walk away. Main village just under 4k ideal for those who want a few days of peace and relaxation but could become a little boring for longer periods as not much to do other than beach.

Mañana is the right word for this hotel. Everything moves in a slow phase since they are understaffed. Plan ahead when you order drinks or food. Cosy place and nothing wrong with the rooms. Don't accept card payments and you need a Taxi to closest ATM.

Het is een kleinschalige accommodatie met 12 appartementen. Dat bevalt ons sowieso al erg goed, maar Esprit Libre staat nu hoog op ons favorieten lijstje. Het is een oase van rust op loopafstand van het strand. De kamer had alle voorzieningen. De bar en het restaurant zijn bescheiden maar zeer sfeervol. Het personeel en de eigenaren zijn prettige gastheren gedurende je verblijf. Het ontbreekt er aan niets en alles in mogelijk. Zo heerlijk verbleven daar: top!

Grosse déception

D’aspect cocoon à l’arrivée , le plaisir est redescendu dès la première nuit. Payer une « chambre luxe » pour se retrouver avec un lit dont 5 lattes étaient cassées et le sommier ne tenant pas sur son support….avec en prime le lavabo de la sdb …dans la chambre. Les wc difficiles d’accès étant eux dans la salle de douche. Le bruit des portes qui claquent, dés chiens qui aboient sans cesse la nuit et de la machine à laver qui essore à 23h45 derrière le mur de la chambre…! Une horreur quand on vient se reposer. Les points positifs sont le sourire et la gentillesse de la serveuse, l’amabilité du serveur , les bons plats du restaurant et le travail de la femme de chambre.

Nerviges Hotelpersonal und hunderte Ameisen

Das wohl schlechteste an meinem Aufenthalt im Esprit Libre war, dass ich direkt bei Ankuft aufgefordert wurde den vollen Betrag Bar in € zu zahlen (hier trifft wohl auch Expedia einige Schuld, das hätte man deutlicher vermerken können). Mir war es lieber, den Betrag mit Visa-Karte und ein einheimischer Währung zu zahlen, woraufhin der Eigentümer(?) den absolut lächerlichsten Umrechungskurs von € -> Rupien benutzt hat, um den Betrag zu berechnen, den ich dann mit Visa zahlen sollte, so dass ich letzendlich doch Bar und ich € gezahlt habe Achja, an zweiter Stelle waren wohl die run 200 Ameisen in meinem Zimmer. Das Hotel macht einen auf "gehoben", vor allem mit Zimmer- und Essens-preisen, is aber schlechter als jedes 20€/Nacht Hotel
