Hôtel Exsel Alamanda  

On Réunion’s west coast in Saint-Paul, Ermitage — steps from Casino de Saint-Gilles and under a kilometre from Plage de L'Hermitage. The hotel sits about 10 km from Saint-Paul’s city center and is an easy base for beach days and island excursions.

A Mediterranean, eco-certified hotel with 70 air-conditioned rooms that open onto private balconies or patios. Rooms pool simple tech — LCD TVs, fridges and safes — and bathrooms feature rainfall showers and hair dryers. The vibe blends relaxed seaside comfort with a playful, modern edge; there's a massage room on site and pets are welcome, so it works for families and four-legged travelers.

Outdoor pool and a separate children’s pool, plus terrace and garden for lounging. On-site casino, tour/ticket assistance and bike parking keep things lively. Complimentary wireless internet, free self-parking, laundry and a safe-deposit box round out practical perks — perfect for wake-up sea-breeze mornings and long, lazy afternoons by the water.

Three meeting rooms and a business center for events, plus a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and a safe at reception. Free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep meetings smooth and travel easy.

LE GRAIN DE SABLE serves French cuisine with a bar/lounge vibe; room service is available. Buffet breakfast is offered daily from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM for a fee.
