About the only good thing I can say is I stayed just three nights. Aside from the very sparse, almost sterile 'chalets', there isn't enough hot water to nearly fill the tub, the room safe doesn't work, forcing you to deal with a reception staff that ranges from professional and polite to completely rude, and the food gets very monotonous after the first day.
The employees are a complete hodge-podge of genuine pros to inept, pretentious, "I'd rather be anywhere but here" types. The beach water is completely not fit for swimming, with sharp rocks everywhere - it's a knee deep wading pool disguised as ocean. The air conditioner features "fuzzy-logic", which translates into either "too hot" or "too cold".
The TV. is antique with a remote control I defy anyone to understand, let alone use. The place is very close to Anse Source D' Argent, arguably one of the most stunning beaches anywhere, but skip this place if you're looking for anything more than minimal accommodation (a roof over your head) with a variable staff skill-set and seemingly endless series of identical buffet meals.
I recommend seeing La Digue as a day trip from Praslin, which has fine accommodation. Or try a bed and breakfast -anything to avoid this disappointment. My visit to this "Lodge" was the longest three days of my life. Truly sub-par.
