Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included and meals in the restaurant were excellently prepared. A very nice little boutique accommodation. Not a fan of the cold showers and fans in the restaurant would benefit staff and guests.

We had a very fun stay at this guesthouse. Our room was nice and comfy and got cleaned every day. The breakfast tasted good and the beach is just 5 minutes away. But especially the staff was great, they helped us with every question we had, were always friendly and in a good mood and tried to make our days there special.

Comfortable and modern

The staff were very pleasant and always helpful. The room was as depicted - spacious and comfortable. It was great to have a choice between a very effective AC or overhead fan. Mon Choisy beach was within easy walking distance and the bus stops are even closer with cheap fares and easy access to Grand Baie and beyond. There are also several restaurants/cafes within walking distance.

Mañana is the right word for this hotel. Everything moves in a slow phase since they are understaffed. Plan ahead when you order drinks or food. Cosy place and nothing wrong with the rooms. Don't accept card payments and you need a Taxi to closest ATM.

Chambre propre mais à l'image de l'établissement, le tout est un peu "usé" par le temps. C'est dommage car l'endroit est calme et bien situé. Une bouilloire ou une cafetière serait appréciable également dans la chambre. Le personnel est adorable (merci à Jenny pour son accueil et ses conseils sans oublier Rajah pour ses cocktails et sa bonne humeur !!) Idéal pour un court séjour !! Merci encore 🙏🙏🇲🇺🇲🇺😊😊

Très bon séjour à l’Esprit Libre !

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet hôtel. Nous avons été bien accueilli et avons pu disposer de notre chambre très rapidement. L’hôtel dispose d’une jolie piscine et d’un bel espace commun autour pour boire un verre. La chambre était propre, confortable, avec un beau balcon. Quelques soucis pour capter le wifi mais ce n’était pas un gros problème pour nous. L’emplacement de l’hôtel est un vrai plus pour aller à la plage qui est accessible à pieds en quelques minutes ou en voiture (parking gratuit). Nous avons mangé le soir dans un restaurant à quelques pas de l’hôtel qui était délicieux ! Je recommande ce logement.
