We are just coming back from a 4 night stay at FS Desroches… the only bad thing about our stay… it was too short! Since the arrival the wonderful hotel staff awaits you with a buggy and a smile on their face to bring you to your villa. After a small island tour you finish the registration process in your villa. Location: Fantastic! Just a 35 minute flight from Mahe (I recommend to stay at FS Mahe, too before or after, see my evaluation) your arrive at Desroches island where FS is the only hotel and in the other side of the island some private villas are located. There are several incredible beaches, some for relaxing, some more for snorkeling. We loved the Madame Zabre and Aquarium beach most as well as the Sunset beach. Every morning the FS recommends the top two beaches of the day (can change from one day to another regarding the weather). The complete island is top maintained, beautiful palms, flotation and probably (together with Mahe) the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. Being at the beaches, that you can reach by your private bicycle or with the golf cart, feels like being in paradise. Crystal clear water, white sand beaches and the great panorama. Resort: There are three restaurants, all of them are great! During our stay I assume that the half resort was occupied so every night two of the three restaurants are open. I can recommend all of them! I had the best Aubergine steak at Lighthouse and the best Sushi at Deli! The garlic chili shrimps rolls are the best I ever tasted! The main pool is located close to deli and a lauding where lunch is served. They have a great activity team at Castaway Center. You can have snorkeling gear for free every day and we loved our first scuba dive here! We booked the All Inclusive Packer before and really liked it, huge variety of drinks are included as well as wines, beers and daily mini bar refill, as well as all the dishes in the restaurants. One special thing about the resort is the star gazing experience at the airstrip, we did not believe that it would have been so amazing! Villas: Just fantastic! We had the sunset view villa and loved it! We have stayed at many FS and other luxury hotels with private villas, but we loved this one most! Direct access to the beautiful sunset beach, huge garden with a nice pavilion and huge private pool and an almost new villa with huge sealing and a great bathroom. Choosing between the villa and the beaches was probably the hardest decisions those 5 days. Service: Almost all the FS we stayed at are usually located in very special places (Sayan, Ten Trinity, Jimbaran, Mauritius, Mahe, Serengeti) and some of them offer from the”lowest category” only private pool villas (Mauritius, Desroches, Mahe, Jimbaran) so it’s really hard to say, what’s the best FS? So the game changer are the people! Specially at Desroches we felt so appreciated from ALL the staff! Doesn’t matter from which country or region they are, all with their particular own Charme make you fee
