Lyxtält på Réunion

"For our travels in New Zealand, we were so excited to book this glamping experience for two nights, and we came prepared and ready for our adventure (light packing for the stay, BBQ food and an SUV to handle the poor conditions of the access road) and fit enough for the climb up to the glamp, having climbed some significant mountains in recent years. However, and compared to other glamps throughout New Zealand, we were a bit underwhelmed .... and some love, investment and attention to detail are required to make this as successful as others. It was though a unique experience, and many funny and not so funny memories were created! The tent is beautifully positioned overlooking the bay / lake - and truly quiet and private. The beds were comfortable and we slept really well in general (albeit - a bit nervous in the windy conditions we experienced during our first night). The shower worked well for us, but the toilet less so (despite being well used to outdoor toilets)."

A detailed list of reflections has been sent separately to the owner but in essence: - Access / climb is definitely not easy - some 250m and 75m elevation gain....! There are 3 stages to the climb ... The soil of path has become so worn, exposing the more slippy surface underneath. We fell twice going down, and we would suggest hiking boots. Perhaps some stairs to be built? - Kitchen / BBQ area - totally unsuitable other than in glorious sunshine, wind & rain free conditions. We arrived in gale force wind - and due to the exposed nature of the bbq, nearly impossible to use ..... In addition, there are no working surfaces for the BBQ, and all cooking/crockery/utensils kept inside. Perhaps invest in a dedicated kitchen area that is sheltered? All other similar venues have this ..... - Inside eating - the only table / bench is outside (in a stunning position) but again, only suitable in great weather. Due to the extreme weather we experienced, we had to retreat inside and there were no table / chairs inside - and actually not much seating at all ..... Perhaps a foldable table and chairs? - Cleanliness - the flooring of the tent definitely needed a proper clean and also all the cutlery / crockery. We would also recommend a more personalised approach, and perhaps some breakfast provisions. These touches definitely made a difference to the experience of the other glamps / similar unique venues.

"The location is a bit out of the city center, which you can expect for accommodation in yurts. It is a pleasant, peaceful, quiet location. The tent was really clean and nice. The lady who welcomed me was very kind, the breakfast was very tasty and the property itself is beautiful. During my stay, they were still doing some work, I believe, so it will be even nicer over time. But it was already top of the top!"

When I marked the location of the accommodation on Yandex, the driver had some problems finding the accommodation. The same thing happened to me when I left. The drivers and employees were so friendly that I just handed them the phone and they arranged everything themselves.

"Spacious huts, clean facilities and great views of the surroundings."

"There is nothing quite like this amazing experience. Completely alone in the desert in a beautifully designed, spacious tent. The setup is stylish and comfortable, and waking up to nothing but sand dunes in every direction is pretty hard to beat. Meals are driven out to you across the desert, with camels and goats wandering over to say hello, sunrise from the bed. At night, you can see a sky full of stars. It was truly magical"

"Carina es súper amable, te hace sentir en confianza. Las instalaciones muy bonitas, ideal para desconectar."

Todo estuvo bien.

"We stayed in a family room and really enjoyed this original experience which brought us closer to nature. Special mention to the beautiful and thoughtful decoration, particularly the garden. Carole and Jean-Yves are extremely friendly, make you feel at home straight away, and generously share tips and recommendations for your stay on the island. The facilities are not only functional but also particularly well designed for the guests' comfort."

"Our stay was amazing! The staff was super nice, they organized a transfer from Lompoul sur Mer to the location, they came with us to the beach and played football together with mbalax, then they came with us to the nearby desert and helped us organize a cab to Dakar airport. The food was also really good. Overall it has been an excellent stay!"

"A very romantic place perfect for couples who like wild retreats"

It is hard to think of something i did not like. Overall the experience was great.

"Tolles Erlebnis, mega Sonnenaufgang. Tatsächlich bequemer als erwartet. Der Bäcker um Frühstück zu besorgen ist nur 1 Minute entfernt."

Die Ablage am Kopfende war nicht sauber ( tote Fliegen , Sand) , eine der LED Kerzen funktionierte nicht. Wir hatten uns zum Glück eine Lichterkette mitgebracht. Das sollte bei dem Preis doch schon der Fall sein.

"True "eco" experience. Can't remember when I was closer to the nature. You need to take a boat the get to the island. Stunning views from the restaurant. Quiet life. Friendly staff."

It's not a comfy city lifestyle. Hot water is prepared in advance and you need to notify the staff. There's also a small fee for that. But in general everything is affordable there. No WiFi of course, but you can ask for hotspot.

"Close to store , restaurants and sea. Even pizza on site run by the excellent hostess , Natalie."

Had a bit of unfinished look about the premises though the geodesic domes were great.

"Shtiuie and Abu-Shamir are very friendly and welcoming. The breakfest was well served with eggs, pita breads, cheese, and vegatabales. The fireplace kept working and coffee and tea was served continousely. If we had any problems Shtiuie took care of them!"

The location is misleading. The place is actually inside the beduiwen village which is crowded by animals and noise. My friend wasnt able to sleep. as for me it was not a problem.

"Saber and Mosbah were great! I really enjoyed my night in the desert due to their hospitality, despite the language barrier since i cant speak french or Arabic, but still i had a perfect stay! I enjoyed the songs and the food and the tea, couldn’t recommend enough!"

"Great location. Very well equipped. Fantastic breakfasts."

"A small cabin in the woods, crown lands around allowing you to walk or hunt, no electricity, no phone network. A wood stove and candles. What's not to like?"

The road to get there is hard if you have a sedan especially after a snow storm.

"Amazing views, beautiful and comfortable tents, quiet and chill vibes at the whole camp."

Everything was perfect
