Le Jardin Maore

I had a great weekend at Le Jardin Maore in Mayotte. The hotel is nice, rooms are small but innovative as they are perfectly made from containers and are equipped with what you need including a Nespresso coffee machine! The only negative was a very poor internet and basic food. The highlight was experiencing the very professional diving center with a great team of experienced divers. The instructors were friendly and highly professional and the atmosphere was great. I can definitely recommend it for anyone looking to explore the depths of the Indian Ocean.

We enjoyed our stay in Le Jardin Maore Lodge in Mayotte. We booked Superior family room with Sea View, and the room setup was very elegant and comfortable with all required aminities. The hotel service and the staff were superior too. Special thanks to Ms. Delfin who facilitated our requirements and airport transfer and also assisted in having special dinner dishes request from the Chef. One improvement is required from the hotel management for providing WIFI in the room as it is currently available in the reception and the bar only

Best time of my life! From the incredible view when i woke up in the morning, to the diving experience in cristal clear water, to excellent meals at the restaurant, everything was there to have a perfect time. A sincere thank you to all the employees of Jardin Maore. We will be back!!!!

I will start with the pros: - nature is gorgeous: the beach, the sea, the coral reef, the turtles; - Claire, the lady at the reception is super. She is extremely nice and always willing to help and solve the issues (many) you encounter; - people at diving center are nice and almost all of them speak English. Cons: - the lodges are awful. Even the alleged “superior” ones are adequate for no more than a 1 or 2 stars hotel; - service is terribly slow both at the restaurant and at the reception (aside for Claire); - local people working at the restaurant and at the reception are not at all trained for doing their job, they seem not to understand problems and they do not care to solve them; - diving center has no service at all, you have to do everything on your own from bringing your gear to the boat to wash it; - prices are absolutely crazy for what your got. Overall it is not worth the money you spend and as a matter of fact it was half empty even the second week of August. Hopefully someone with high level European experience of hospitality will assume management since the place has lots of potentials. With very little investment and customer care it could be a paradise.

This place is a dream one to recharge and relax. The location is stunning. The bungalows are rustic, getting slightly old but so cool and so authentic. You have the Maquis monkeys all around and in the front of the place is filled of turtles and a wonderful coral reef. The dinner food is outstanding and we'll cooked. The breakfast coule be mire diverse for the price with more ocal food food. The big BUT is that this place is not fulfilling its accountability of environment preservation at all: there only very discreet sign on what to do/not to do with animals. As a result: we saw the worst: many people feeding the monkeys while this will simply humanized them up until they will become thief and voient towards human. And the worst of all, there is only one small indication on how to behave in the turtle environment and as a result we saw many people walking on the water grass (food for turtles) and on the coral reef destroying all the environment and people getting very close to then and even toucbing them...one day they will be all gone. This hotel should do FAR MORE to preserve this outstanding environment there are living on. Very dispointing.
