The hotel

Completely renovated in 2017, this innovative resort has been designed by Kelly Hoppen and delivers an eclectic mix of effortless sophistication and relaxed informality, as well as signature LUX* touches. In a peaceful location, rooms overlook the triple-bay beaches and calm lagoon. There are beautiful gardens to wander in; stopping awhile to lounge on beanbags and hammocks dotted beneath coconut, banyan and filao trees. There are land and water sports galore, plus a world-class golf course nearby and bikes for exploring tropical hillsides or the local markets and village of Cap Malheureux. The LUX* Me Spa is a true haven, offering a range of indulgent treatments as well as yoga and dynamic exercise classes. Dining-wise, you’ll be spoilt for choice, with delicious island-inspired and international dishes. Chat to the chef and watch your meal being created at The Palm Court, savour the cultures of Peru at INTI and visit Under the Banyan for mouthwatering burgers, wood-smoked meats and inventive cocktails at the French Kiss Bar.

This Hotel resort is amazing from start to finish. The staff are so friendly and make you feel at home. I came for a honeymoon and I don’t regret it, indeed I made the best choice ever. Can’t go wrong with this hotel. The restaurants are so nice and the sea views around the hotel (yes around the hotel not only in front of it !!) are stunning. Special mention to Sun the lady who takes care of us at our SPA session and made this day unforgettable. As her name says, she’s the sun light of the SPA ! Sharonne was lovely as well who took care of my feet massage. Overall, an unforgettable moment and honeymoon, my wife and I lived it. Definitely recommended!!! Read less

We planned to do lots of water sports but we were so relaxed we didn’t do too much in the end. There is an adults only pool and beach where we spent most of our time on the swing beds, Saif and Kumar were extremely friendly, attentive and always offering us drinks so a massive thank you to them both!

The stay was perfect, the place was beautiful, the hotel staff was exceptional, Bodrum was simply magical, the buffet was incredible, and the Creole Smokehouse restaurant was absolutely delicious and authentically local. I highly recommend it! A big thank you to Reedoo, who, in addition to being extremely professional, is incredibly kind and caring. It was exceptional to have a coffee bar — a huge thank you to the two best baristas, Sylvano and Kabir, who were simply amazing. Read less

We are staying here currently. I would like to say that we love this place but we are extremely disappointed by the customer service. This is mainly in the Palm Court restaurant. The staff are rude and disinterested. It feels like we are an inconvenience to them. Empty plates aren’t removed and we have had to put them on adjacent tables. I complained one night to the manager who was busy wiping down tables himself. He was apologetic but nothing has changed. The service at Creole Smokehouse was so bad it was laughable. The staff were miserable and appeared to be in dispute with each other. Some staff are friendly but this is inconsistent. On our arrival we were treated like royalty and made to feel very welcome. Unfortunately this has not been the case since. It’s definitely a case of some customers receiving preferential treatment. Some residents are on first name terms with the staff. This isn’t our experience at all. Read less
