Chateau Elysium is an amazing place in the middle of Beau Vallon beach. We ordered dinner and it was excellent - variety of food, fresh fish, creole salads, vegetable with sauce etc. It was delicious. Rooms has beautiful view to the ocean and Beau Vallon Beach. Swimming pool in front of the villa is also great and get a huge advantage for guests. Definitely, we will return again.

Sehr repräsentative Unterkunft mit tollem Ambiente
Tolles Haus, nein eher eine Villa oder ein Herrenhaus im Kolonialstil früherer Zeiten, ein echter Hingucker, direkt am Strand. Im EG sind nur ein oder zwei Zimmer, aber ein sehr großer Aufenthaltsbereich, Küche, Bar und der Zugang zur spektakulären Terrasse mit dem großen Pool, direkt dahinter das Meer. Im OG sind die meisten Zimmer, alles sehr gediegen und repräsentativ, mit tollem Balkon. Insgesamt fühlt man sich weniger wie im Hotel als vielmehr wie zu Hause. Personal ist sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und hilfsbereit, es gibt eigene Security. Frühstück wird am Tisch serviert, sehr lecker und umfangreich. Abendessen muß man vorab bestellen, ist recht teuer, aber qualitativ extrem gut und somit seinen Preis wert. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Geldautomat, Apotheke u. Bushaltestelle sind wenige Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Nicht schön fanden wir, dass in unserem Zimmer die Klimaanlage recht laut war und direkt über dem Bett an der Decke hing, d. h. der kalte Luftzug fällt direkt auf die Schläfer. Die Klimaanlage auszuschalten war aber auch keine gute Idee, weil auch nachts die Temperaturen hoch sind. Ein Flughafenshuttle wird angeboten, aber muß separat bezahlt werden, was man uns vorher nicht gesagt hatte.

L’escroquerie du siècle
Une honte, un scandale absolu, “5 étoiles” qui ne se voient pas sous le soleil : - La clim ne fonctionnait pas malgré 3 interventions : j’avais la piscine dans la chambre avec la fuite. - Le four et le lave-vaisselle ne fonctionnaient pas. - Les toilettes se sont bouchées et on m’a demandé de les déboucher moi-même. - La pompe de la piscine ne fonctionnait pas. - Une amie est passée et le patron s’est permis de l’appeler “belle pièce”. - Je n’ai pas eu droit au massage offert. - Malgré tout ça, aucun geste commercial et on a refusé de m’offrir le late departure facturé 250€. À fuir, une arnaque, du vol.
