Rougail Mangue

Top choice in Réunion


You'd never guess it from the road but this guesthouse is a great find. The ground floor is occupied by a smart lounge area, one six-bed room, two squeaky-clean quads and a cheery double that opens onto a well-tended garden. For more privacy, book the smallish yet cosy bungalow, with stupendous sea views. On the main road, between Langevin and Vincendo.

The coup de grâce is the glorious pool, with the ocean as a backdrop, and the outdoor Jacuzzi (€5). Air-con is extra (€5), except in the bungalow. Note that the bathroom in the bungalow has no door, just a curtain. Add €3 for breakfast (or €15 for a copious brunch), best enjoyed al fresco under a gazebo. There's also a kitchen. Book ahead.
