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 remote, inaccessible cirque (natural amphitheatre) requires hiking to reach, offering a unique experience. The three cirques of Mafate, Salazie, and Cilaos are all spectacular, each with its own distinct charm and hiking trails. Don't forget the beautiful beaches like Saint-Gilles-les-Bains.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Réunion?
Hiking is king in Réunion! Explore the various trails in the cirques, tackling Piton des Neiges or Piton de la Fournaise. Water activities abound; try canyoning in the Rivière des Marsouins, surfing at Saint-Leu, or diving or snorkelling along the coast. Visit the botanical gardens in Saint-Denis or admire the architecture of the city's historic centre. For a more relaxed pace, enjoy a scenic drive along the coastal road.
The best time to visit is during the dry season, from April to November. This period offers pleasant weather, ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. However, remember that it's also peak season, so book accommodations and flights well in advance.
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 good base for exploring the west coast, with its beautiful beaches and easy access to various activities. Saint-Leu is another great option, known for its surfing and laid-back atmosphere. For a more central location, Saint-Denis provides access to cultural attractions and is a good starting point for exploring the island.
Which parts of Réunion are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a shorter trip, focus on one specific area. The west coast, around Saint-Gilles-les-Bains or Saint-Leu, offers beautiful beaches and water sports. Alternatively, the charming town of Cilaos in the cirque of the same name provides a different experience with its unique atmosphere and stunning scenery.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Réunion?
Yes, renting a car is highly recommended. Public transport is limited, especially when exploring the more remote areas like the cirques. A car gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace and reach all the hidden gems.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Réunion?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger establishments, hotels, and restaurants, particularly in tourist areas. However, it's always advisable to have some cash on hand, especially for smaller shops and local markets.
What are the largest airports in Réunion?
The main airport serving Réunion is Roland Garros Airport (RUN) located near Saint-Denis.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Réunion?
It's polite to greet people with a 'Bonjour' or 'Bonsoir'. Respect local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites. Dress modestly when visiting churches or other places of worship. Learning a few basic Creole phrases is always appreciated.
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 the delicious tropical fruits like mangoes, pineapples, and litchis. Try local rums and try a gâteau patate, a sweet potato cake.
Where are the best shopping spots in Réunion?
Saint-Denis has a variety of shops, from local markets offering crafts and spices to larger shopping centres. Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Pierre also have a good selection of shops catering to tourists.
What signature events or festivals take place in Réunion?
The Festival Sakifo, a renowned music festival, takes place annually. There are various local celebrations throughout the year, often linked to religious or cultural events, but specific dates vary.
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 of the cirques.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Réunion?
Underestimating the difficulty of some hikes, particularly on Piton des Neiges and in the cirques. Not having appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking. Not carrying enough cash, especially when visiting smaller villages or markets. Failing to book accommodation and flights in advance, especially during peak season.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Réunion?
The less-visited parts of the cirques offer stunning landscapes and rewarding hikes. Explore the smaller villages and towns off the main tourist routes, discovering local life and hidden waterfalls. Take a boat trip to see the coastline from a different perspective, spotting dolphins or whales (seasonal).
