Frequently asked questions about hotels in Réunion
What are the best landmarks to visit in Réunion?
Réunion boasts stunning natural landmarks. The Piton de la Fournaise volcano, a constantly active volcano offering breathtaking views, is a must-see. Piton des Neiges, a dormant volcano, provides incredible hiking opportunities and panoramic vistas. The Cirque de Mafate, a secluded cirque accessible only on foot or by helicopter, is renowned for its dramatic scenery and unique villages. The coastal areas, such as Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Leu, offer beautiful beaches and opportunities for water sports.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Réunion?
Hiking is incredibly popular, with trails catering to all levels of experience, from leisurely walks to challenging climbs. Water sports such as surfing, kitesurfing, and diving are prevalent along the coast. Whale watching tours are available seasonally. Exploring the island's diverse flora and fauna, perhaps visiting the botanical gardens in Saint-Denis, is another rewarding activity. Helicopter tours provide unique perspectives of the island's volcanic landscapes.
The best time to visit is during the dry season, from May to November. This period offers pleasant weather, ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. However, keep in mind that this is also the peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Réunion?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Réunion?
Saint-Gilles-les-Bains offers a lively atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and a wide range of accommodation options. Saint-Leu is another excellent choice, known for its relaxed vibe and stunning coastal scenery. If you prefer something quieter, consider staying in the highlands, closer to the volcanoes and hiking trails, perhaps in the area around Cilaos or Hell-Bourg.
Which parts of Réunion are perfect for a weekend getaway?
A short trip could easily focus on the coastal areas, such as Saint-Gilles-les-Bains or Saint-Leu, enjoying the beaches and water sports. Alternatively, a weekend could be dedicated to exploring one of the cirques, such as Cirque de Cilaos, experiencing its unique charm and hiking trails. This would require careful planning and potentially pre-booked accommodation.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Réunion?
Renting a car is highly recommended, especially if you plan to explore beyond the main towns. Public transport is available, but it's limited and can be inconvenient for reaching many of the island's attractions, particularly those in the mountainous regions.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Réunion?
Credit cards are becoming increasingly accepted in Réunion, particularly in tourist areas and larger establishments. However, it's always advisable to carry some cash, especially for smaller businesses and in more remote locations.
What are the largest airports in Réunion?
The main airport is Roland Garros Airport (RUN) located near Saint-Denis.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Réunion?
It's considered polite to greet people with a 'Bonjour' or 'Bonsoir'. Being respectful of local customs and traditions is appreciated. Learning a few basic Creole phrases will be well-received. Always be mindful of the environment and leave no trace when hiking.
What local specialties should you try in Réunion?
Try the cari (curry), a staple of Réunionnais cuisine, often featuring chicken, pork, or seafood. Rougail saucisse, a spicy sausage stew, is another popular dish. Don't miss out on the delicious tropical fruits, such as mangoes, pineapples, and passion fruit. Local rums are also worth sampling.
Where are the best shopping spots in Réunion?
Saint-Denis offers a variety of shops, from local markets selling crafts and produce to larger shopping centres. Saint-Gilles-les-Bains also has a good selection of shops and boutiques catering to tourists. The local markets are great places to find unique souvenirs and local products.
What signature events or festivals take place in Réunion?
The Festival Sakifo, a music festival, showcases both local and international artists. The Dipavali festival celebrates the Hindu festival of lights with vibrant processions and celebrations.
What’s the best place in Réunion for mild and comfortable weather?
The coastal areas, such as Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Leu, generally experience milder temperatures throughout the year compared to the higher altitudes. The microclimates within the cirques can also offer pleasant temperatures, but they can be subject to more variability.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Réunion?
Underestimating the distances and travel times, especially when exploring the mountainous areas. Not bringing appropriate clothing and footwear for hiking. Not being adequately prepared for potentially unpredictable weather conditions, especially in the mountainous regions.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Réunion?
The less-visited cirques, such as Cirque de Salazie, offer a quieter and more intimate experience compared to the more popular Cirque de Mafate. Exploring the island's many waterfalls, such as Cascade du Voile de la Mariée, provides opportunities for stunning photography and refreshing dips. The small villages nestled in the highlands offer a glimpse into authentic Réunionnais life.
