Hotel Kolam air panas di Pulau Mahe

We enjoyed a 10 night stay here over Christmas. Staff - Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Reception staff, waiting staff, security guards and cleaners were all polite, full of smiles and accommodating. Buffet - Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. Hot drinks and egg orders are taken by the wait staff and brought to the table, everything else was self service. Evening buffet was themed each night, Asian night was my favourite. There is a lot of fish on every menu, I don’t eat fish but I found plenty of tasty choices. The restaurant felt relaxed and never too busy. Room - We booked a double room with sea view and terrace. The room was incredible. It was light and airy with good air conditioning. We enjoyed sitting in the terrance and looking out to sea. Pool - The pool looked over the sea. Fresh towels and a water station were always readily available. There were always Sun loungers available when we wanted to sit by the pool. Paris restaurant - We had one visit during our stay. Unfortunately it did not go smoothly. On the positive, I asked for a chicken breast instead of duck in advance and they happily accommodated this, it was really good. The T bone steak was tasty. Sadly, the steak came with potatoes that were hard, then the pineapple tatin was inedible- cold and really hard, like it had been sat in the fridge for a few days. The staff were friendly but the service was disjointed with no consistent person serving our table. Beach Access - The hotel does not have direct beach access. To get to the beach you need to walk to the end of the walkway in the hotel. If the river is low you wade through the river. If not, you have to walk across a wall and do a little jump down to the sand. We were quite happy to do this, but it is something to be aware of if anyone has mobility issues. We had a great stay and would love to return one day.
