Oure Lodge Beach Resort

Oure Lodge Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"We stayed there for 5 days and it was a very pleasant stay. The beach at the hotel is so beautiful and the surroundings are so green and peaceful. We went with our 3 year twins and they loved running around the ground chasing chickens. The hotel arranged our transfers from and to the ferry wharf for a small fee and they have a variety of tours you can choose from. They have 1 restaurant for lunch and dinner. The menu is limited but that's to be expected. The breakfast was the same everyday so you could get bored of the food quickly. There is another restaurant that you can walk to that takes around 25min but if you go for dinner you need a flash light to help you get back. The hotel has free kayaks and snorkeling equipments available for guests. The bungalow is clean and comfortable to stay in. Overall the beach and the water is like paradise and the hotel has everything we need."

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay at Kou-Bugny. Île des Pins is simply magnificent — peaceful, beautiful and the perfect place to relax and disconnect. Kou-Bugny has two beautiful white-sand beaches, both incredibly peaceful and surrounded by stunning scenery. The location is truly special. The restaurant was another highlight. They serve beautiful local and French dishes, with a great selection of fresh seafood and meat. Everything we tried was delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they organised our airport pick-up as well as all of our excursions, making everything very easy for us. One of our favourite experiences was the excursion where we were able to swim with manta rays and turtles. Afterwards, we enjoyed an amazing BBQ with huge lobsters and a huge snapper — an unforgettable experience! Thank you to the whole team at Kou-Bugny for your wonderful hospitality. We had a fantastic time and would love to come back!"
