The hotel

Nestled in the heart of a coconut plantation bordering one of the island's finest beaches, La Pirogue is built in the style of a fisherman's village with each room housed in thatched cottages scattered throughout the beautiful spacious gardens. The hotel boasts a fantastic range of facilities for all the family, including a 1,000sq m infinity pool with a floating Jacuzzi, a spa, sumptuous dining options and a daily supervised kids' and teens' club. When evening hits, La Morne beach bar offers live entertainment or DJ's, and alongside the roaring bonfire, this makes for an excellent spot for a nightcap.

Fullfilling dinner, very tasty n good variety. The seafood platter is definitely different from others we have tried around the island having their unique flavour. Jimmy was extremely kind and helpful. He looks like he enjoys working in the hotel. Zakir ensured that everything went as requested. Definitely a memorable cosy time.
