Le Morne Aux Fous

We had the "Cabane du Voyageur" for a week. The hut was new (although the other huts/appartments looked significantly older from outside), clean and also quite spacious, however quite dark inside due to the small windows. The highlight is of course the tropical garden in which the whole facility is set which makes it really enjoyable to just relax on the balcony. The only real downside was that there was no walkway/boardwalk along the street that goes into town and due to the serpentines I wouldn't recommend walking along there when it's dark.

Be aware that the photos on the website do not reflect the reality of this unit. The furniture has changed and there is no TV or pull out couch in the suite. The current “sofa” seats 2 people so I would not recommend this unit if you are more than 2 people.  On their website, Le Mourne aux Fous advertise La Frégate as luxurious. I was not expecting 5 star standard, but the unit is not luxurious at all. The bedroom is like a cave, small and dark. It connects the kitchenette and bathroom. The bathroom does not have a fan so all of the humidity and smells from the bathroom are trapped in the bathroom/bedroom. A small but annoying detail not is that there was no toilet paper holder. The wooden structure built to hang the mosquito net is made from untreated wood. The insects boring into this wood create piles of sawdust on the pillow and bed. It was handy to have a kitchenette, however there is zero bench space for food preparation and zero storage for food.  As mentioned in other reviews, it was strange to not meet the Owners, even though they live on site and especially because La Frégate joins their main house.  On our first day, we self checked-in and were sitting on the deck when the Owners arrived home.  They came outside and passed directly in front of us twice without acknowledging us or saying Hello.  The washing machine did not work well, clothes were still dripping wet so we ended up going to the laundromat in St Rose. The door did not lock when we arrived so we advised the Owner and it was fixed the next day. Wifi signal was strong. Overall, it was sufficient. Would not return.
