Nice hotel, with good service. Pool and Whirlpool very nice. Location next to the river. But generator outside is very loud, that if you are located next to it, e.g. room 8, 9, 10 you can't really have conversation on the balcony.

Fantastic cuisine by the river, and not too expensive.

Inn
Restaurant
Auberge des Îles is the sole accommodation option on the island, offering a unique and atmospheric experience. Guests can choose to stay in guard houses, which are located just behind the prison cells. The buffet-style meals, priced at 30 euros with no smaller options available, are delicious. Exploring the island is made easier by a few informative signs. The chance to witness where prisoners lived and see Devil's Island nearby adds to the overall experience.
Excellent place to stay even we used hammocks. Very friendly staff. I am going to miss this hotel.

(Translated by Google) A visit to the Iles du Salut restaurant., A magnificent view. By cons a very mediocre and expensive restaurant with a buffet at the limit of acceptable. Dishes without flavor, proof that there is no competition on site. Don't go there you will waste your money! Very disapointed. This January 4, 2022 (Original) Un passage au restaurant des iles du salut., Une vue magnifique. Par contre un restaurant très médiocre et cher avec un buffet à la limite de l'acceptable. Des mets sans saveurs, preuve qu'il n'y a pas de concurrence sur place. N'y allez pas vous perdrez votre argent ! Très déçue. Ce 4 janvier 2022

The only place to stay on the island. I can recommend the guard houses, it is atmospheric to stay there. If you dare you can go explore the prison cells in the night with a flashlight, they are just behind the guard houses. Food is a buffet for 30 euro, no option for a smaller meal, but it is quite tasty.

(Translated by Google) Nice discovery this day at the restaurant of the inn! Magnificent view, postcard atmosphere. All-you-can-eat buffet service at a very reasonable, single price of €29. Everything was really very good, especially the grilled fish. Starter dish dessert of good quality and variety, watch out for cocktails (particularly alcohol dosage), and underripe fruit. Good value for money. The waitresses are very friendly. (Original) Belle découverte ce jour au restaurant de l’auberge ! Magnifique vue, ambiance carte postale. Service buffet à volonté à un prix très raisonnable, unique de 29€. L’ensemble était vraiment très bon, surtout le poisson à la plancha. Entrée plat dessert de bonne qualité et variété, attention aux cocktails (dosage d’alcool notamment), et aux fruits pas assez mûrs. Bon rapport qualité prix. Les serveuses sont très aimables.

We did a self tour of the Island. There are a few signs to help. Seeing the cells and areas that the prisoners lived was amazing! Devil's Island is near. There is a hotel that sells food and drink.They take US dollars.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful setting, very beautiful view, the buffet at the price of 29 euros left something to be desired, very expensive for what it is, disappointed I am from Martinique, after having made such a long journey to discover the ilets and the famous inn , I would come back to the islands to picnic and swim and in no case to have lunch at the restaurant. (Original) Très beau cadre, très belle vue, le buffet au prix de 29 euros laissé a désirer, très cher pour ce que c'est, déçu je suis de la Martinique, après avoir effectué un trajet aussi long pour découvrir les ilets et la fameuse auberge, je reviendrais sur l'iles pour pique niquer et me baigner et en aucun cas pour déjeuner au restaurant.

Restaurant
Milles Pâtes is a restaurant that offers a combination of pizza and bowling, making it an ideal place for families to enjoy dinner. The ambiance is described as perfect, with the added bonus of karaoke nights on Fridays. While the food receives praise for its quality, the service is only considered average. It should be noted that some feel the location may not be the friendliest area to open such a great establishment and recommend traveling in groups when visiting Milles Pâtes.
Pizzas plus bowling. And on Friday der is karaoke...ambience is perfect and a great place for families to have dinner...!!
