Le Pandanus

It is a calm place. The rooms were ok. We had the Ravanne Bleu which has an awesome view on the Ocean not the Mayos one which faces a newly-built structure. The kids like the pool. Service and food were ok. We read the reviews before booking there but I think we booked a wrong period where the property is under renovation and feels that there were few things missing, nevertheless for a 1st stay and last-minute booking for Rodrigues, we like the location and stay. I'm sure it will become a great place to stay post its revamping. All the best to the team.

On our arrival we were greeted with a lovely smile by Caroline, who was very friendly and welcoming. After the usual cocktail, we had a quick tour of the place and even managed to chat with Christian Léopold, the landlord, who made us feel like part of the family. Our room was next to the pool, the view from our balcony was magnificent with the sea in front of us and we could catch the Sun set daily. The food, from breakfast to dinner were delicious, well presented and served. All the staff were very friendly and made our stay so relaxed. A decorated table was made specially for us on the 14th for my wife birthday and a chocolate cake, fresh flowers and songs were at the party supervised by Taslim. On the last day, we caught up with the landlady and Christina chatting about our visit and we were overwhelmed by the friendly conversation. I heartily recommend Le Pandanus to anyone who wants to visit the Rodrigues island ❤️

Le Pandanus est un havre de paix ! Tout simplement subliminal de passer un séjour la bas ! Accueil très chaleureux du gérant, Christian L. et de toute l'équipe, petit dej. continental bien copieux, le repas du soir exquis avec des produits locaux frais de qualité, un paysage paradisiaque au réveil le matin sur le balcon (vue sur mer), le calme absolu pour se reposer et se ressourcer, le sourire de tout un peuple rodriguais... Souvenir inoubliable d'une escapade en solitaire à Rodrigues ! Je reviendrai en famille cette fois ci pour un plus long séjour et ce sera sans hésitation au Pandanus !!! E.Li

Suite à une erreur de réservation nous nous sommes retrouvés dans l annexe une chambre était correct mais une salle d eau exigu et la deuxième avec minuscule salle d eau sentant le moisis Un neon pour éclairage pas de serviettes changer en 4 jours Le prix est resté sensiblement le même que les chambres vu sur booking bref trop cheres pour ce que s etaitAttention beaucoup de marches Bref très déçue

We had a 4 night stay at Le Pandanus during November 2022 and our genuine reviews from a Mauritian couple are as follows: Pros: 1. Decent guesthouse with sea view rooms. 2. Very friendly staff. (No qualms on that) 3. Breakfast is varied. Cons: 1. Dinner is usually " table hote" , so the chef chooses what to serve based on what is available. Therefore, do not expect high quality dinners. 2. We went there at a time where the hotel was under renovation. This was a major turn off because at times workers were making noise during day time, worse, had to close the doors at day time bacause of no privacy. 3. It is also noted with concern that although official check out is supposed to be at noon, we were requested to vacate our rooms at 10 am itself because the guesthouse was preparing for space of upcoming guests ( who are normally supposed to check in at 14hr). 4. The housekeeping is average, bedsheets are changed only every 2 days and lighting inside also is not so good. Request not to rely on the attractive pictures put up on the website because they can be deceiving at times. 5. The guesthouse is at a location a bit remote (Baie Malgache) and not so close to Port Mathurin (20 minutes by car), so do not rely on the public transportation because buses come very irregularly ( had to wait 1.5 hours to get a bus to port mathurin). 6. The swimming pool is not well maintained so the water was a bit unclear/unhygienic for use. 7. The TV is not functional, no channels and wifi is very slow. We had to rely on MyT data packs which luckily works due to a telecom tower which is located nearby. Bottom Line - We went there just like you and based on the reviews hoping it would be a budget value for money vacation but trust me, If you can afford a little bit higher, go for a hotel/guesthouse closer to Port Mathurin where you might get better services at a more pleasurable location. Note- We gave a decent 3/5 which is mainly attributed due to the warm smile/modesty of the staff there who were very cordial for which we are very thankful.

Le Pandanus has all I needed ... well appointed clean room, private bath and toilet wonderful location close to bus stop, well-prepared breaky, and of course, facing the ocean! The staff are very attentive and will go above and beyond! I highly recommend Le Pandanus for wonderful experience in Rodrigues Island.
