Alors question carte postale idyllique, c'est ok. Par contre nous avons détesté la main mise des riches propriétaires qui rendent cette plage publique quasi inaccessible pour les "visiteurs", affublés d un bracelet jaune pour mieux les persécuter. Tout est organisé pour que cette plage appartiennent à une caste de privilégiés. Détestable...

In my opinion it's the best beach on Mahe. It's not crowded, beautiful and super clean - the hotel makes sure about it. The snorkeling is decent as well, on the far left side near the rocks you get some alive corals and the water is super calm.
