Hotel La Banane Review

A young vibe and a sociable attitude attract chic visitors to the nine smallish pavilion rooms with Euro-style contemporary furnishings, white-draped four-poster beds, and pale aqua walls. Spacious, stylish baths have open showers with waterfall showerheads, pretty turquoise glass-tile walls, and Aqua de Parma toiletries. Each room is named after an iconic French design luminary such as Pierre Jeanneret or Jean Prouvé and has a small front porch with a banquette, but guests gather around the central pool with fun sun beds and whimsical white café tables to try specialties from the lounge bar in the shade. A nice touch is a library with books and lots of DVDs. The hotel's location behind a small shopping center may be construed as either a bother or a convenience, but Lorient Beach is a two-minute walk away. Breakfast is served around the palm-shaded pool. The spa services come to your room. K'fe Massaï, the African-themed restaurant, is very popular.

    The question we asked ourselves every day we spend here is: "Is this heaven?" The two weeks that we spent here were the closest to perfection we have ever had the honour to experience. Every last detail was covered and every experience quite simply devine. We would like to thank you for allowing us to share in your little slice of heaven. What more can we say other than - See you next time! Thank you for everything especially to Saundrine for her profesionalism and kindness. Barbara
