My wife and I spent 5 nights here. Note that, based on previous reviews, I decided to book a deluxe bungalow on the lagoon for a bit more money – I’m happy I did. On balance, there are more positive than negative points about staying here, so I’ll start with the positive. First, the beach is gorgeous with clean white sand; CNN may be correct in listing it as the #1 beach in the world (I have seen many beaches), and it is right in front of the bungalows with the clear turquoise water located about 20 meters from the bungalow. The temperature is such that you can fundamentally stay in the water as long as you wish. But the water is also not too warm either, as it is sometimes elsewhere in the world. The maximum 25-cm high “surf” is such that it would be fine for young children. Furthermore, stepping out on the beach, it was often possible to look a couple km in each direction and see no one else on the beach. Watching the sun set across the beach was great. Second, the bungalow itself was quite spacious, and the deck with lounge chair was an added pleasure. The AC (in bedroom area) functioned well, which is good for sleeping comfortably. The deluxe bungalows are spaced well enough apart that privacy is ensured. The modest-sized pool is quite attractive. The lunch-and-snack restaurant by the pool, Café Le Jardin d’Eden, is very good. Breakfast provided by the hotel in the main dining room is good, but not great; for example, scrambled egg
