Does anyone know much about this resort and restaurant? Looks interesting but can't find any reviews anywhere. Usually stay in Orient Beach area but looking to try something different

The 2 places I know are the RIU Palace (used to be the Radisson) and Le Domaine. So this is either a third resort on Ante Marcel, or perhaps Le Domaine?

Lyn or the Captain would know for sure, but I think this is the new name for what used to be Domaine de Lonvillier. Pictures on the Gallery tab on this website seem to support that thinking.

It may be. I heard the Le Domain was closed and maybe it is reopened with a new name. I'll try to find out from friends that live in Anse Marcel.

I would call. It appears that Anse Marcel Beach Resort took over some of the Domains buildings. It's a very nice secluded bay. Been there by boat and enjoyed it.

Thanks for the info! Looking on-line saw post on TripAdvisor that 50 rooms at La Domaine were purchased by Stephane and being run as a separate resort. Reviews of La Domaine weren't all that great... (tired grounds - cancelled reservations - difficulty with refunds etc) Is Le Domaine still open or changed hands? Website still seems to work...

We tried to go through the place in November to show it to our friends , but were told it would cost 85 euros to enter . We told them we just wanted to show the place off ,there answer was we couldn't do that . The 85 euros was for a day pass including with it was lunch guess what good bye . Hope they change there attitude or they are in trouble .

I heard RUI now charges 100 euros for a day pass. Not going to get much business that way.

Sad to hear about costs of day pass. What exactly comes with this pass? Loved going to Anse Marcel when Radisson was there. We would have lunch and then chairs and umbrella were available no charge. We also took a nice snorkel trip to Creole Rock and my husband did some kayaking Is it still possible to get onto the beach there?
