Guest reviews for Captain's Villa
"Family run hotel, very friendly owners. Excellent and spacious apartment, 5 minutes walk from relatively isolated beach. The place is located in the south part of the island, which is more calm and relaxed compare to the north."
"Aucun."
"Our stay at the villa was absolutely fantastic, exceeding all our expectations! The villa was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need: a fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, iron, and hair dryer. The environment was incredibly quiet and peaceful, ensuring a truly relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the regular cleaning every two days, which kept everything fresh and tidy. As a wonderful bonus, the hostess Amanda was incredibly kind, regularly bringing us fresh fruits. The location is ideal for exploring the island, with a bus station just a 1-minute walk away. For daily essentials, a small shop offering basic food items and delicious take-away meals is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the villa. We had a truly comfortable and enjoyable stay and would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a perfect island retreat!"

"The suite was perfectly fitting for our needs, within walking distance from a private beach. The room was very comfortable. The staff was super welcoming and warm."

"Our apartment was beautiful and we loved our quiet but also convenient location. It was walking distance from Anse Forbans beach and Double Tree Hilton hotel. The hotel restaurant is open late until 10 pm and our daughter was able to use their gym for a small fee. WiFi was excellent and we especially liked our big bathroom with an excellent shower!"
"Having to wait 3-4 days for clean beach towels."
"Christine was invaluable and hospitable over the whole stay. Our return flight was in the evening, and we were allowed a late checkout without any extra fees. One evening, we had dinner at the hotel; it was very tasty - recommended! If you stay there, a car is practically a must to get around - different beaches, restaurants, etc. Our favorite beach was Anse Royale, 7-8 minutes of driving. Very good restaurants are Lo Brizan, Perri's Grillz, and Le Reduit - all within a 10-15-minute drive distance. For something simpler and inexpensive takeaway (but very tasty nonetheless), Koko Zerm is a good choice, a few minutes walk from the villa."

"Lovely, comfortable accommodation. Good food. Host was extremely accommodating. Beach is lovely."
"Beach is rather shallow for swimming, before rocks/coral. A small pool on the property would be exceptional 😊"
"Everything was just great: Christine is a very good and kind host, the room was great and very clean, airco worked perfect, the terrace just lovely, breakfast delicious, not too much, but definetely enough. Beach just across the street and it felt like a private beach as nobody was there. The transfer to the airport also great and cheaper than what we paid when getting to our (previous) hotel."
"It is really nothing not to like about as all was fine."
"Honestly, it was the nicest and the cleanest hotel room we've ever stayed in. Quite modern water facilities, minimalistic design (that's what I really like). It was really our pleasure to come back "home" after a hot day :) There was also a clothes-stand that is surely an advantage. Never met such a thing before in other hotels. Christine was always there for us and answered to all our questions and needs within the shortest time. All the other staff was also always friendly and smiley. You won't regret if you choose this place to stay in, I bet."
"- We couldn't really enjoy the beach there. The "entrance" is not very comfy due to stones. Luckily we rented a car and could move freely throughout the island and choose any beach we like. - As for the breakfast, we were a bit disappointed at first (just our expectations and habits I guess) but it would be great if at least they add some vegetables when we take eggs - a half of a tomato and two little pieces of a cucumber would've made us a bit happier :)) Among the choice is "pancakes" as well. We've tried it once and found it not really nutritious as sadly enough the pancake was only one. Anyway, everything was always delicious even though not really diverse. - Please note that they have a corkage fee and a service fee if you take a dinner. It was not mentioned for our first order. The fee turned out not to be very big (however, the percentage was never clearly mentioned) but it would've been great to know such details in advance to plan our expenses. Not really meaningful but such a lack of transparency makes feel a bit uncomfortable."
"We really enjoyed our stay at Captains Villa and our two room apartment was ideal for our family of four. The best part was the beach just across the street. The beach is not overcrowded and it is suitable for small children."

"The hosts were very kind! The restaurant serves delicious food! very nice beach nearby and a small restaurant with takeaway food."
"There is no extractor fan in the kitchen."

"Everything about the apartment is 10/10 everything there is neat and the attend to you very well and they make you comfortable as family and if I am going back to seashells again, I would love to stay in the same apartment.😊"
"An amazing view from the balcony, the apartment is well equipped and very affordable for this area. It was quiet and peaceful. 5 minute drive to Anse Petite (but you have to leave the car at the hotel parking and walk 10 min to the beach) and 5 minutes to Anse Soleil (can drive almost to the beach). About 40 min from the airport. We spent a week there and truly enjoyed it. The hosts are super friendly and helped us a lot with bookings, taxis, appliances etc. They also brought us fruit from their garden, which was very nice. Would definitely come back!"
