Just come back from this fantastic hotel. The staff are so dedicated, friendly, welcoming and very professional too. The cleaning by Mihir and Rakesh was immaculate. In all our years of travelling to different countries and hotels this has been by far the best cleaning of room we have ever had. Thank you Mihir and Rakesh for your dedication and prompt response whenever we needed anything for the room. Keep up the great work!! The restaurant staff Tauckoor, Daniel, Dinoo, Istaaq, Axel and Simi were again very welcoming, very accommodating. It was a real pleasure to go into the restaurant for our meals and seeing their welcoming and smiling faces. There is as not a buffet like in most hotels but the ala carte food was amazingly delicious and very well presented. Thank you chefs! Thank you to Khushboo who was there if wevhadvxny problems (which we didn’t). But knowing that she as there if we did was reassuring. Fiona and Naina from reception were very welcoming, knowledgeable and professional! Always helpful and smiling. You’re both amazing people! The gardeners, the maintenance team all are very dedicated and professional! They go about their work in a very professional manner without disruption to the guests. The rooms are excellent, have everything that you could possibly need. To any staff member that I have missed out and if I did not get the names, each and everyone of you are amazing and dedicated to the running of the hotel at over and above and above anyone could imagine or expect. Thank you so so much to the whole team of Le Cardinal. …

We had a lovely time at Le Cardinal! The hotel has the most welcoming and dedicated staff, we definitely felt at ease and we were more than supported on several occasions! We enjoyed the rooms a lot - spacious with spectacular ocean view, quiet and always tidy and well-maintained. Every evening we'd receive a card with information about the weather for the next day + change of beach towels. We had several spaces at the beach, reserved for us as guests of the hotel, which we highly appreciated! The food was great, we particularly enjoyed the local cousine (the Creole version of the Bouillabaisse was amazing and the romantic Fridays with lobstwes were the best!!)! The Resto Team felt like a family to us, they made our experience even more memorable! Special thanks to Tauckoor, Daniel, Dinoo, Istaaq, Axel and Simi, you made us feel at home, even though we were so far away from our motherland! We are sure going to miss the lovely view that kind of became our norm when we woke up every morning ... Lots of love and gratitude from Bulgaria!…

Dear Kevin P, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your stay with us was not up to your expectations but, at the same time, are quite surprised about your rating as compared to those of our previous guests' comments. The fact that the 5* sauna, hamam is not working is an understatement as (1) we do not have a sauna but a hamam and (2) it is situated at our sister hotel, the Casuarina Resort & Spa. You indeed paid for a 5* but we would just like to remind you that you decided of your own accord to have breakfast and dinner at the 3* because they were buffet style - which suited your convenience. Furthermore, you were well aware that you had to cross a road to access the 3*. Your comments about be swimming pool being small and no water pressure in the bath tub are unfounded and based on conjecture. Our door will always be open to you should you wish to visit Le Cardinal Exclusive Resort in a near future. Regards Rajesh Buton
