Beach Hotels in Port South East

Breakfast was lovely and fresh

A Warm Welcome and Culinary Bliss at La Belle du Sud, Rodrigues Island Our stay at La Belle du Sud was nothing short of extraordinary. From the warm hospitality to the delicious, home-cooked meals, everything about our 10-day visit exceeded our expectations. James and Dalilette, the hosts, were incredibly welcoming and generous. Dalilette, an active and energetic lady, often went fishing herself and occasionally brought in fresh octopus, which became the highlight of our evening meals. Every night, we were treated to a different, freshly prepared dish, always enough to feed four—no wonder we gained a good five kilos by the end of our stay! Breakfasts were equally delightful, with an ample spread that included fresh juices and a variety of items to start the day on the right note. The property itself felt like a small, serene farm, with cattle, pigs (slaughtered once a year), hens, and even dogs. The dogs, just like the people of Rodrigues, were remarkably calm and didn’t bark—a reflection of the island’s tranquillity. The spacious accommodation offered two bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing more than enough room for us, making it fantastic value for money. In terms of location, La Belle du Sud is close to one of Rodrigues’ prime surfing lagoons, making it a perfect spot for water sports enthusiasts. Despite being in the southeast, the island's small size means everything is just 20 to 30 minutes away by car, so getting around was never an issue. As a thank-you for their incredible hospitality, we invited James, Dalilette, and their family to a small celebration on our last evening. We brought wine, beer, sweets, and chips for everyone, especially the grandchildren, who had a fantastic time playing both indoors and outdoors in the spacious property. It was a joyous way to express our gratitude and celebrate the wonderful time we had together. Rodrigues itself is a slice of paradise—peaceful, unspoiled, and full of friendly, welcoming people.

Feeling part of the family in a home with stunning views, set in a beautiful valley. Waking each morning to the sound of the Indian Ocean. Peaceful days, local hikes, friendly locals. Home grown food, conversation into the evening. Going back to sleep with the sound of the reef...

Norbert has a very competent team of young people who are doing a fantastic job. I got addicted to the traditional Creole dishes. Dinners involved a three course meal and twice a week, a BBQ was prepared on the patio, followed by a local troupe performing Sega Tambour! Breakfasts were special too, tasty crêpes with honey and coconut, fresh fruit, good coffee and toast with local papaya jam and fresh butter left a taste of pure authenticity in my mouth. The Villa offers great views on the ocean, with the Baladirou Beach just a short walk away. I used the local buses, which go to every out corner of the island. With an included return transfer from the airport and a dinner bed and breakfast package, my days were hassle free to explore the island. My room overlooked the garden where birdsong was my wake up alarm. All the bedroom facilities were kept in impeccable condition with daily room service. In harmony with nature, embedded in tradions, Villa Paradise lived up to its promise!

Will book for my next stay there soon
