Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness - Managed by Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts

Great hotel with welcoming staff. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Gerhard the GM was always available to have a chat and he was always full of great ideas and activities to do whilst at the island. He is very welcoming and knows how to make the guest feel special and makes the stay at the resort perfect. We had a great dealing with the executive chef (Prakesh) and Sharma and my word... he's cooking was exceptional. We had asked for food to be cooked in a specific way and he delivered the food perfect. Every night we had dinner and the dinner was spot on. Great chef with plenty of experience. Kiran at the front of house was very polite and also full of ideas of activities on the island. Nothing was too much when we asked, he was always at the desk ready with a big smile to assist and help out where possible. Joe at the boathouse was also very pleasant to deal with and even took us out on a mini scuba dive experience close to shore to guide us to where the fish usually stay. Great service from him. We went out on the kayak and the team make sure we were safe and sound thorugh out the trip. Overall, the hotel was perfect and I would return. The hotel location is remote but most guest would rent a car or vehicle to travel around the island so it's not a problem.

We recently spent a week at Le Jadis celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, and it exceeded all expectations. The views were beautiful. The food was delicious at all restaurants, especially the seafood and the breakfast buffet with its fresh local cuisine and tropical fruits. We stayed in a spacious villa that had a convenient umbrella (for the occasional rain shower) and useful mosquito plug. We visited during off-season and enjoyed how quiet it was. We barely saw other guests, except at mealtimes. While the beaches are public, we noted how the workers walking past the villa didn't even glance our way, respecting our privacy. The staff were all exceptionally friendly. I'd like to shout out to Joey at the boathouse/aqua hut. He went over and above to show us the coral reefs in the glass bottom boat, showed us where to snorkel and identified the various fish we ran into. The highlight was spotting the inquisitive and friendly black fish. The waiters were all very friendly and courteous. Special shout out to waiters Yuvneesh, Kesigan, Ali at the pool bar and Tina for their great treatment and for making us laugh. Thank you to Norbert and Justice at reception for helping us. A few practical notes for future travelers: - Our South African 3-point plugs didn't work, so bring an adaptor if you require use of a CPAP machine. The resort does offer international adapters at reception, but not the 3 point round ones SA uses. - Like many tropical destinations, tap water isn't recommended for drinking, but the resort thoughtfully provided plenty of complimentary bottled water in our room daily. - The beach offers beautiful views and clear waters, though the sand is more coarse than the fine pale sand of the lower west coast. We'd recommend bringing water shoes to fully enjoy exploring the shoreline and reef areas. The snorkelling was spectacular. - We experienced a few light rain showers, which were actually quite refreshing and gave us perfect excuses to escape the heat and relax on our balcony with. - Our sea view was slightly affected by some old, large, grey dock floaters placed near our room, likely due to a recent storm. Fortunately, the ferns and palms surrounding our accommodation provided some natural screening. - There was some construction work happening in the adjacent natural area, but the soothing sounds of running water helped mask the noise. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic getaway with excellent service and dining, we highly recommend Le Jadis.

My fiancé and I had the best time at Le Jadis Beach Resort, where we went to celebrate our engagement. The service beyond our expectations and the ambiance was very lovely. We would especially like to thank our wonderful waiters, Tracy and Kelvin, who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and Mr. Nasser, the F&B Manager, for making everything so memorable. We will never forget this amazing experience at Cruso❤️
