Compare Historic Hotels in La Digue

"First, let me say that I had a fantastic stay! I had an amazing spa day and great day by the pool. I was, however, a bit surprised that the property seemed older than the photos and seemed a bit run down in some places. I know this is nit picking, but the lighting was really weird. The main lights in the room were almost like spot lights (instead of canned lights) and you couldn’t move them so it was hard to see sometimes because of where they were pointed. There were also weird blue and colored lights, intended for ambience, but I felt like they gave off more of a night club vibe rather than relaxing beach getaway. It felt a bit kitch and detracted from the overall experience. The other thing I found out of sorts was that the hotel did not offer free use of bicycles. Renting a bike for the day was easy and cheap. However, for the cost of this hotel, I would expect bike access to be included, especially for an island with no cars. "

"Great place to stay albeit being a bit further from the centre. Staff were friendly and accommodation spacious "

"Great location, lovely clean guest house and Alex who runs it is very friendly. Only a couple of minutes walk to the beach, a convenience store is also a 2 minute walk and an Italian pizza/pasta restaurant called Ton Greggs. It is best to hire bikes while you are there so that you can explore the island and get to the best beaches, Alex organised our bikes for us and they were dropped off to the guest house. There is a kitchen which I did not use, but everything is there if you want to cook. The jetty for the ferry back to Mahe is about a 15 minute walk, so easy to get to. "

"I had a honeymoon reservation for March 29, 2026. Due to the regional conflict that began on Feb 28, my transit hub (Dubai) was under military airspace closures. My carrier, Emirates, issued a formal 'War-Zone Waiver' because the route was physically inaccessible and unsafe. ​Despite this being a clear 'Force Majeure' event, Casa De Leela was completely unreachable. They ignored multiple outreach attempts from Expedia agents for over three weeks and refused to provide a waiver or even a credit. It is deeply disappointing that a 'family-run' business would prioritize a cancellation fee over the safety of honeymooners during a global crisis. If you want a host that communicates and values guest safety, look elsewhere. Zero stars for service."

"Very fresh and nice breakfast. Local fruits , eggs, local banana cake and bread. Good breakfast"

"Room was clean but bathroom floor would have been cleaner especially when you close door and see dirt behind it. Staff was great. "
