Orchid Self Catering Apartment

If you enjoy sharing your room with lizards, ants and spiders and not being able to sleep at night, then this is the place for you. We booked 2 apartments and the situation was the same in both so I can safely say it is applicable to all units. When we entered the room, we noticed that the beds were full of ants. We tried our best to get rid of them ourselves but they kept appearing out of nowhere so, naturally, we asked the reception for help. They simply stated that we are on a tropical island therefore bugs are a normal part and handed out a bug spray. Funnily enough, we had already spent 4 nights on Praslin, another tropical island, bug free. The apartment is called self-catering, however you cannot attempt to cook because of the ants. All the food needs to be put away immediately or in 5 minutes you are under attack. We also had lizards visiting during the night and a huge spider. The doors and windows are not sealed properly (1 cm gap under the outside door) therefore there is a constant draft, causing the windows to shake loudly (feels like someone was constantly trying to break in) especially during the night when the wind was blowing stronger, making it impossible to sleep. We had to resort to sticking some kitchen utensils to keep the windows in place and stop the noise. Even if the apartment is being cleaned daily, the overall state ruined our experience and couldn't wait to be out of there. Other aspects worth mentioning: - there was no shower curtain in one of the bathrooms and since the shower head is fixed, water would fly everywhere. - the electric kettle couldn't be used because of the rust on the bottom - one of the beds came without a headboard, making it uncomfortable to sleep in and causing the pillows to constantly slip. - the wardrobe door hit directly into one of the light sockets when open

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura durante la nostra vacanza a La Digue e ci siamo trovati molto bene. La struttura si trova a pochi minuti a piedi dal porto ed è in una posizione strategica dell'isola, con svariati servizi a disposizione a pochi passi (noleggio bici, centro commerciale, ristoranti, ecc...). La nostra stanza n.7 era ampia, possedeva un bagno dotato anche di bidet e la cucina era provvista di tutto il necessario per cucinare; lo staff si è rivelato disponibile e cordiale e quindi non possiamo che consigliare questa struttura.
