The hotel

Infused with the charm of its sugar plantation past, this refined hotel retains its colonial style. A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the hotel occupies a delightful setting in the Bel Ombre nature reserve, in a tropical garden through which the Citronniers River flows. Suites are spacious, decorated in 19th-century style but with an impressive range of amenities and a resident host at your service. The Seven Colours Spa is a serene haven, with treatments to harmonise body, mind and energy. There are two lovely pools including 1 adult-only heated pool (coming soon in November 2024), with access to an additional pool at C Beach Club, water sports in abundance and two nearby championship golf courses. Guests have access to 13 restaurants and eight bars across the Domaine de Bel Ombre — there's a wonderful selection of dining at Heritage Le Telfair, including Annabella’s on the banks of the river with an interactive show-kitchen, and Gin’Ja serving Pan Asian cuisine on the beach. Treat yourself to a meal at Le Chateau de Bel Ombre, an enchanting 19th-century manor house, or head to the trendy lifestyle hotspot, C Beach Club.

This was our 3rd visit to Le Telfair (previously stayed at the Awali).Our room was beautiful and in an ideal position with great views of the ocean. Housekeeping was excellent. Bar staff were delightful and attentive. The golf courses are fantastic and on the Gourmet Bliss package you can play La Reserve - quite a challenge! Booking well in advance is a must. We found the food portions to be a bit on the generous side. Perhaps smaller plates, especially at lunch, would be better. There is a good choice of restaurants - best to book when you arrive. If on the Gourmet Bliss package then you have a Resident host who can organise anything you wish to do. All in all, it's a great place for a very pleasant holiday especially if you are a golfer.

This was the 3rd year we stayed at this resort. FANTASTIC! You feel instantly welcome and wanted on arrival. The atmosphere is second to none. All the staff are totally devoted to make everything happen for you. The ladies looking after the gardens are wonderful. The rooms are just what you want. If you are a golfer there is no better place to be. The variety of restaurants on offer is great. Our butler Ashni organised everything for us and was always on call for anything we might need. In fact it was the 3rd year we had the pleasure of being looked after by Ashni , so she has now become our friend for ever. Planning a return next year and for more years to come after that.

This hotel fails to deliver anything close to a 5-star experience. Service is slow, disorganised, and often unprofessional, with staff appearing poorly trained and unable to handle basic requests efficiently. Guests are frequently left waiting, ignored, or forced to repeat requests multiple times. The food is overpriced and inconsistent, with long delays and frequent mistakes in orders. Cleanliness standards are unacceptable, with reports of poorly maintained rooms and lack of attention to detail. Overall, the hotel suffers from poor management, weak organisation, and a clear lack of quality control. For the price charged, the experience is far below expectations. Not recommended at all—completely unjustified pricing for the level of service provided. Read less
