Hôtel La Villa du Soleil

We did spend 10 nights at Villa du Soleil in March 2012 and felt welcome even before arriving in the island. We had some communication (in English) with the staff before traveling to Reunion and found the staff courteous and very helpful. The hotel is simple but very clean and we felt at ease immediately. We were happy with the room, double bed, storage space, digital tv, free wifi, the basic toilet plus shower-only bathroom and the effective airco, The room could be made more quiet by closing the wooden panels in front of the glass doors. No direct access to the beach at Boucan Canot but 5 minutes walking along the quiet street in either way brings one to the best beaches of the island (except for L Hermitage which is about a 10-15 minutes drive). Boucan Canot and its small and cosy boulevard and guarded beach are within walking distance and safe to reach on foot. Closed off (at night, entry with a code) parking is available but the smaller the car, the easier.
