LUX* Saint Gilles Resort

Comfortable beds. Adjoining family room (with extra beds) worked for our family of 6. Enjoyed the gym.

Drinks and snacks were pricey.

The beach and the reef are just fantastic, full of tropical fish. Great facilities, including a tennis court, beach volleyball, ping pong, and a well-equipped gym, all surrounded by a luscious garden. Friendly and very amicable staff, excellent food also for breakfast. The concierge desk will assist you in organising activities to make your stay enjoyable, should you want to explore the island.

Two things: the room was a tad small for my tastes, and restaurant/bar prices felt more like being in Zurich rather than on a tropical seaside.

Great location

The room needs some renovations, I expected much better quality on a five star hotel The ala carte meals expensive and not really tasty

It was scruffy and tired looking. Expensive 5 star hotel but should be re assessed to more like a 3 star. We paid half board but the buffet was closed 3 nights out of our 4 and had no choice but to eat in one of their other 2 restaurants but then you must pay a surcharge on top of what you’ve already paid for dinner or you have room service at full charge. The staff were pleasant but certainly not friendly. The grounds were scruffy, uncut lawns, bare patches of grass areas, tennis court fence has huge holes in it, the beach furniture needs replacing. Basically it’s very tired and in urgent need of a revamp.
