Just left Desroches after a week at the Four Seasons and what a fantastic week it was. Our Ocean View Pool Villa was stunning, cycling round the island was totally liberating, the staff were all fantastic (especially Marc the buggy driver, Angelique in Claudine, Clarence the chef in the Deli, Randy in the main bar and countless others whose names sadly I didn’t catch, including whoever was keeping villa 22 totally spotless!) and despite it being fully booked the fact it’s an all-villla resort and there are various beaches and places to spread out to, it seemed like we were the only people there at times. The food was also nice, although I think it might make more sense to print the menus on a daily basis based on what is actually in stock - it’s totally understandable that certain things will be hard to come by when you’re somewhere so remote, but on the two nights we ate at the lighthouse it seemed like there was more stuff not available than available! Also not much by way of veg on the kids menus unless you ordered additional side dishes - thank goodness for Clarence and his sweetcorn! ;-) Vegetables aside, the thing that truly astonished me though was how well geared up they were for kids. It was a stylish place, the kind of place I’d usually assume kids wouldn’t be particularly welcome, but I have never been anywhere that made such an effort to accommodate them, especially totally unsolicited. When we booked, I hopefully asked for a baby cot to be in the room for our two year old and based on previous responses elsewhere, was pretty relieved when they said this was possible. Imagine my complete amazement when we arrived not just to find a baby cot, but also every other conceivable piece of baby kit already there, ready and waiting for us - from endless supplies in our room (cot, highchair, baby bath, baby toiletries, bottle warmer and sterilisier, ... even nappies and beach toys!), to the kids cutlery in the restaurants, to the toddler seat on our bike to get round the island, fully-equipped nappy change facilities by the restaurant and staff who anticipated all of our needs as if they all had 2-year olds themselves - it was really extremely impressive and also very heart-warming to feel so well looked after. Thanks to all the wonderful staff who tried so hard to engage with our usually shy toddler, by the end of the week she was high fiving everyone! To anyone travelling with kids - I honestly can’t think of anywhere you’ll be better catered for. Lastly, a special shout out to the staff that play football by the runway twice a week - finding trainers the right size so that my husband could take part made him a very happy man! Letting him score twice didn’t harm either ;-) Thank you Desroches, hopefully see you again one day.…
My stay at Four Seasons Desroche was almost amazing (back luck with weather)! Service, and resort conditions are top quality. The island is like a jump back on time were we can enjoy nature almost without human presence...peaceful, fantastic beaches, crystal and warm waters (some areas with a huge quantity of sea grass). The resort is perfectly integrates with nature with amazing private villas with sea view and beach access, perfect pool area on the villas. Services work perfectly and staff is high quality and always with a smile on the face ready to help. Is missing is a topical feeling on the island, should have more "energy"...maybe some activities, maybe some more tropical bar atmosphere.. The food is good but should have more variety, even on small snacks on the bars. And the prices are something to register. If you desire having some peaceful silent days to rest almost alone on a beautiful island with premium services...don,t hesitate! If the mood is having something with more energy and cool vibe there are another better options!…
We stayed at the FS Des Roches Island for 4 nights on the first leg of our honeymoon. It was an absolutely amazing trip! The villa, the food and service was excellent. The staff at the resort really go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and ensure you have a memorable experience. Nick - the resort manager was very hands-on and checked in daily to make sure we were well taken care of. The chefs - Emre, Amit and Danish were always willing to meet us and customise menus to our preferences. The spa is relaxing, specially the sound of the waves treatment. Des Roches is the perfect place to enjoy some peace and quiet away from the world. That peace does come at some cost though, however being a remote island it is expected. We can't wait for our next trip to Des Roches.
Four Seasons made this an amazing experience from the point you meet at the airport to the short hop to Desroches to our room until checkout. It is quiet, stunning, understated in Four Seasons branding in the most perfect way. The island is 14K around the perimeter, which we walked one morning, helped with a small rucksack owned personally by the general manager. Of course the beaches and snorkeling are at your fingertips. Staff and service were impeccable. At turndown service, they even left us a bedtime story (seafaring related of course) on our pillow. The tortoise sanctuary is very special and integrated with the island perfectly. We loved riding bikes all over the island as well, because it is very flat, and you could see the entire island, then a tortoise would be next to you, or a goat herd moving through, or a beautiful sunrise. Our villa and outside garden was stunning, private and well-equipped. We will return.…
I just realized I forgot to post my review of our last visit at 4S last year. The resort is new , splendid and offers state of the art accommodation. The best four seasons accommodation that I ever experience in our two bedroom villa . The Desroches Island is wonderful and is a place were one can completely disconnect ! The best beaches are not next to the hotel but reachable by bike . Be aware that the beaches are not as nice as in the maldives and other places in the seychelles . There can be a lot of seaweed on the beach or in the water which makes swimming difficult in some area. This is a bit unpleasant for such a dream destination. However we were able to find empty beaches by biking for a few minutes. The hotel provides bikes to every guest We are frequent travelers with FS and repeater guests for the second time at this property and highly appreciated the upgrade. Big thanks . The sunset beach villa N 2 is amazing !!!! We also recognized the huge improvements since the opening ; in particular for the service and F&B. The transfer on arrival from an international connection is still a bit weird with long waiting time . Now one is at least welcomed by a FourSeasons staff and brought to some External marina to wait for3-4 hours for the domestic flight to depart. We enjoyed discovering the island with the bikes and Turtle park Mrs Charo will always be missed by our daughter . She is just so fantastic at playing with her at the the kids club . Our daughter felt loved and the parents could enjoy a real break . A special mention goes to her who went beyond expectations to make our daughter happy. That being said when the kids club is not attended by her our daughter didn't want to go. The kids club is a bit dead without engaging activities off season We really loved the food prepared by Chef Cook Mr Olivier Barre and his team. The fish and meat quality were outstanding , so was even the King crab and Mozarella that you serve. Our experience in F&B has not always been great in FourSeasons but this time everything was perfect! The tasty menus , the quality of the ingredients and the ability to cook them to perfection. Thanks for the recipes which were shared on how to do the slow cooking miso cod and the fishes :). The Light house is our favorite for an evening drink and dinner in a natural setting Mrs Charo was fantastic at playing with Lea at the the kids club . Our daughter felt loved and the parents could enjoy a real break . A special mention goes to Charo and Melody who went beyond expectations to make our daughter happy. The new resort on Desroches Island is just amazing ! …
