Villa Chez Batista

The price/performance ratio is very good. In addition to the remote location, the sea view is good and the restaurant is also good. The store can help you contact day tours and taxi services. Local taxis cost around 70 Euros, which is really expensive, but I don’t know how much it costs to rent a car, so I can just ask after I get off the plane.

nous avons pris deux nuits d’hôtel auxquelles nous avons annulé de suite pas de wifi jardins complètement à l’abandon avec de la rouille chambre sale et vieillotte photos non conforme à la réalité restauration ferme à 18 h personnelle peu souriant

The whole complex seems a bit dated. The attraction is giant tortoises kept in an enclosure that is far too small and under questionable conditions. The staff seemed listless and disinterested. We didn't really feel comfortable. The breakfast was below average. If you want to have a drink in the evening, you have to make your own arrangements, as the restaurant closes very early, usually before 8 p.m. The best thing about this accommodation is the beautiful sea view from the restaurant and the proximity to the beach.

Turtles should live in the forest and be able to sunbathe! And they should have a pool - a body of water. Better natural. Ideally, wild turtles would live in the forest, and people would be surrounded by a fence, and the turtles would be fed and tourists would be allowed to watch and come feed them! Like in nature reserves. But people preferred to catch the animals and keep them in a pen with a puddle, where there is continuous shade.

The hotel is well located, right on the ocean on the first line and not on the mountain unlike some others! There are jungles and gardens all around, but there is a bus stop nearby, the closest you can get to it is not along the road up, but along the beach! And further along the road there are shops: mini-supermarkets and a take-away stall with “takeaway food”. This can be seen on Google map. It’s nice to walk there for about 27 minutes, admiring the view of the jungle and mountains. But be careful when walking along the highway, maneuvering past cars. A bus card costs no more than 50 rupees, 10 rupees per trip. The card can be purchased at the airport for 2 euros or in many mini-supermarkets for even less than rupees. I don’t remember the price, like 35 rupees, with 20 rupees ending up in the account. At the airport they give you a blank card! Don't forget to put rupees on it. The hotel restaurant has steep prices. Breakfasts are served there overlooking the ocean. Soup from 1000, on average from 1500 rubles. The second is from 3000 to 5000. Dorado fish is more than 400 rupees in a restaurant. Multiply by 7.22 in rubles. I took the standard room, the simplest one. There is an air conditioner and a fan, the fan was turned on sometimes at night by opening the window for oxygen. And sometimes I went without everything at night. Tea bags and instant coffee with sugar and an electric kettle are in the room. But I didn’t have enough tea, it was provided once a week, so I used what I brought. You can also buy it in stores. Don't forget to try the local coconuts and papaya. Coconuts cost from 10 rupees for small ones, 25 for large ones. They say they bought it cheaper second-hand at Anse Royale. The hotel has more expensive prices for 15 and 35 rupees. Papaya for 25, 35 rupees of average size. But they don’t sell it at the hotel, you have to leave. For breakfast, they provide a fruit salad with papaya, pineapple, melon and watermelon, and freshly squeezed juice. Bacon, toast, canned beans, sausages, pancakes with jam, cheese, cucumbers and tomatoes, eggs prepared to choose from... I advise you to immediately exchange at least $100 a week at the airport, or you can drive 10 minutes from Takamaka beach to the Hospital stop ( Hospital) on Anse Royale and there is an American Express exchange office there, they said, and a pharmacy and Take aways - takeaway food stalls with tables there, and the sea there is calm without waves because of the island located in the middle.
