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 wonder, is a must-see, offering breathtaking views and dramatic landscapes. Piton des Neiges, a dormant volcano, provides equally spectacular panoramic vistas from its summit. The Cirque de Mafate, a remote, inaccessible cirque (a natural amphitheatre), is perfect for hiking enthusiasts, while the Cirques de Salazie and Cilaos offer easier access and stunning waterfalls like the Cascade du Voile de la Mariée in Salazie.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Réunion?
Réunion offers a diverse range of activities. Hiking is hugely popular, with trails catering to all levels, from gentle walks to challenging climbs. Water sports are abundant, with surfing, kitesurfing, and diving opportunities along the coast. Whale watching tours operate seasonally, offering a chance to see humpback whales. Exploring the island's three cirques (Mafate, Salazie, and Cilaos) by car or on foot is a fantastic way to experience the island's varied landscapes.
The best time to visit Réunion is during the dry season, from May to November. This period offers pleasant temperatures and less rainfall, ideal for outdoor activities. However, bear in mind that this is also peak 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?
For a week-long stay, consider basing yourself in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains or Saint-Leu on the west coast for easy access to beaches and water sports. Alternatively, Saint-Denis, the capital city, offers a more urban experience with diverse dining and cultural attractions. If you prefer a more tranquil setting, the towns within the cirques, like Hell-Bourg in Salazie or Cilaos, offer stunning scenery but require more travel time to reach other parts of the island.
Which parts of Réunion are perfect for a weekend getaway?
A weekend getaway could focus on exploring one of the cirques. Salazie, with its accessible trails and waterfalls, is a popular choice. Alternatively, the coastal areas of Saint-Pierre or Saint-Gilles-les-Bains offer a relaxing beach-focused escape.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Réunion?
Renting a car is highly recommended, especially if you plan to explore beyond the main towns. The island's diverse geography and many attractions are best accessed by car, giving you the freedom to discover hidden gems and scenic routes at your own pace. Driving can be challenging in places, however, due to narrow, winding roads.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Réunion?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger hotels, restaurants, and tourist shops. However, it's advisable to carry some cash, especially for smaller establishments and local markets.
What are the largest airports in Réunion?
Roland Garros Airport (RUN) is the main international airport in Réunion, serving both domestic and international flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Réunion?
Réunionnais people are generally warm and welcoming. Showing respect for local customs and traditions is appreciated. Learning a few basic Creole phrases will also go a long way. It's polite to greet people with a 'Bonjour' or 'Bonsoir'.
What local specialties should you try in Réunion?
Réunion's cuisine is a delicious blend of French, African, Indian, and Chinese influences. Try cari (a spicy curry), rougail saucisse (a sausage stew), and bonbons piments (small, spicy sweets). Fresh seafood is also abundant and highly recommended.
Where are the best shopping spots in Réunion?
Saint-Denis offers a range of shopping options, from local markets to larger shopping centres. Saint-Gilles-les-Bains also has several shops and boutiques catering to tourists.
What signature events or festivals take place in Réunion?
The annual Festival Sakifo, a music festival, attracts both local and international artists. Other events celebrating Creole culture are often held throughout the year.
What’s the best place in Réunion for mild and comfortable weather?
The coastal areas, particularly on the west coast, generally enjoy mild and comfortable weather year-round. Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Leu offer pleasant temperatures and sea breezes.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Réunion?
Underestimating the distances between locations and not allowing enough time for travel is a common mistake. Also, not being adequately prepared for hiking, particularly in the cirques, can lead to difficulties. Failing to bring appropriate clothing for varied weather conditions is another frequent oversight.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Réunion?
The many smaller, less-visited villages nestled within the cirques are true hidden gems. Exploring the less-trafficked hiking trails will also reveal stunning landscapes and viewpoints. The beaches along the wild east coast, though less accessible, offer a more secluded and dramatic coastal experience.
