Independent in Pigeon Island from AU$346

"This was an excellent trip. First, I would like to mention that our housekeeper, Carmella, would leave us nice little notes every day, and would grant our request for extra needs in our room. The room was always clean, and we had no problems. Every day, when we would get back to our room, it looked like the first day we arrived. That was much appreciated. There were 2 very special people in Guest Services - Tara and Gaielle - who were very nice, courteous and helpful during our stay. The Nexus excursion staff were great as well. I also received a massage at the spa from Kenya, and she was really good. I left there feeling refreshed and re-energized. We went on an 8-hour excursion along the western coastline, and made stops at the waterfall, the sulfur mud baths, lunch, and then, snorkeling. My daughter and some of the members of our family also did the jet ski excursion. They really enjoyed themselves. The food was decent but was really good at the buffet on New Years Eve, where they served lobster, crab, oxtails, seafood, and plenty of desserts. Also, a shout out to Clint Westwood - our chef at Zen restaurant. Not only was he very entertaining and included the whole family (17 of us) in his "show," but the food he prepared was the best on the resort. Lastly, I would like to say that the New Years Eve celebration was really nice! It was the perfect way to bring in the new year. We have considered making this a yearly trip."

"If you like chocolate you’ll love this place. Lots of activities, great service, and friendly people! "

"Great location in front of beach to explore norther part of island. The beach is the best beach on the island and perfect for morning and evening walk. We were glad we splitted our stay between la duphane estate and the beach cottage giving both different types but memorable experience. "

"A wonderful hotel. The views are outstanding. Super friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Lots to do. Food was very good. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. The New Year’s Eve party was amazing. Met lots of interesting people. Our second visit this year. Would definitely recommend. "

"a very beautiful and romantic place, The ocean and tropical forest location is amazing ."

"Beautiful, unique experience staying here with an open fourth wall - felt like you were constantly outside in the best way possible. Breeze was strong enough w/ fans during the winter to be comfortable. View and pool off the room were unparalleled. Best service & everyone had a smile on their face - Caroline as the concierge, Jeremie at the Rum Bar, and V for the best room service. Will be back!"

"Great staff and delicious food"

"Great location, caring and helpful staff throughout, clean overall, pool area is clean with private cabanas as an added touch. I would recommend staying here."

"The location was great and the beach was beautiful. It was an easy location to walk to restaurants and shops. The staff were friendly and helpful. The housekeeping was excellent. The only negatives would be that the property is somewhat dated and we did not have hot water for showers."
