Domaine des Oiseaux Réunion

very friendly owner. I was just passing by, as I had to wait for my next flight for 22 hours. After a while they told me the airport would close during the night. so I quickly had to find a room. I think you get a very personalised service from the owner.

The hosts very very kind and friendly! Ample parking and only 20 minutes or so from the airport.

Room 5 on the upper floor had a sloped ceiling on one side so we moved the bed to avoid hitting my head (I am 152 centimeters tall) but I had to stay close to the bed to avoid bending over; two taller people would not have been able to comfortably stay in that room. The mattress was only about 12 centimeters deep on slats. The bathroom had a curtain instead of a door. The air conditioner was being repaired but they were able to give us a fan to help with the stuffiness of the room (no screens on the windows so we did not feel comfortable leaving them open). Breakfast was sweet cakes, bread and some bananas and oranges from the garden so it would have been nice to have yogurt or hard boiled eggs or some protein but I’m sure if we asked they would have accommodated. We stayed at two other accommodations on the island and felt that this property was overpriced for the rustic accommodations.

The hotel is a bit hard to find, but the position in google maps actually matches its location. Try to find the white signs that point away from the road into the field. You are awarded with a hotel situated within a fruit plantation. The location has no elevator to its second floor, so this might pose some accessibility issues. The breakfast is great, you are served proper french breakfast with the locally sourced fruit and a selection of cakes made by the lovely hosts.
