Cocotier Du Rocher

Everything was as described from the beginning the end with Stefan, his mom and their Coco Sek villa of our 6-day stay on La Digue. We found the location very conveniently central - just close enough from the livelier area of the West / NW coasts and far enough for peace n quiet. Avoid the street hustlers - Stefan offers best bikes and is quick to arrange for fixes or changes e.g. seats or locks. We have not tried tours, however all other tips and recommendations such as Boleme take away diner were spot on. The lodge offered nice room with a fan/AC )slightly loud), spacious bathroom, kitchen with a full sized fridge and a good quality/clean at that and an outside cold shower plus a hammock right out of our terrace. It was very comfortable to sleep there and sit outside for food. As a bonus there is even a pole for breaking coconuts. Summarizing, it is all the visitors need for a self-catering stay, great starting point for touring the Island by bike as they say. UPSIDES: - location, garden charm - fully equipped kitchen for cooking, tins, ready meals, toasts - local phone/phoneline useful for calling ferries/other hotels/airlines and the host himself DOWNSIDES: - since reception was manned approx 9-6 the complex is free to roam for anyone - safe has a classic key, not a pin security - termites are slowly taking over the front door GENERAL TIP: - shop on Mahe if planning groceries on LaDigue, also the Island is small and suffers from opportunistic thief.

Upon arrival we were greeted by Stephan who did a wonderful job of telling us where everything is and annotating map with points interest, as well as with whatever we asked for that is needed. He and his mom took great care of us answering questions and helping us with whatever we needed, like the bikes. Speaking of bikes, the bikes provided were in good condition and at the average price, so no need for you to struggle with doing this yourself. The central location of the hotel means you are not too far from all the attractions on the island, so no matter what you want to do, it's all a reasonable bike ride away. Also, right beside is a mini mart offering essentials, like beer. :-) (Also food, toiletries, etc) Best of all, it's open quite late, to 9:30pm. The room itself is large, and in good condition, with a big bathroom, a nice kitchennete, and well working AC. WIFI was of a decent speed, delivering whatsapp calls of good quality. The room was clean and tidy, but some more attention could have been given to the shower drain and bottom of the glass enclosure. I'm sure that would have been rectified had we asked. Aside from that, everything else was spotless. The huge porch allows for enjoying meals outside, or relaxing after a busy day on the island, all without many mosquitoes. Best of all, the wonderful tropical garden adds a sense of beauty, and privacy to every villa. All in all, 9.5/10, would recommend.

No wi fi, service was great, do the dinner sunset cruise they offer

Beautiful Location n Setting! just wish they had internet, No TV which was Great, Not to have, No need for TV in The Seychelles!

We spent 5 days at La digue and we had the best experience at Cocotier du Rocher. The bungalows are very clean and we had a room cleaning everyday. We had the possibility to get the breakfast made and to have our barbecues as well. Stephan is so nice and helpful. We spend a greatest tume at Ladigue
