Review from two separate visits on August 17 and 18, 2023. Great seaside oasis near central Moroni. The updated day-use fee for the swimming pool for one adult is 3500 KMF (see my pics for monthly and family rates). Pay the pool fee separate from the restaurant. No extra fee at the restaurant other than the price of food and beverages you consume. The Olympic-sized pool is salt water but quite clean and refreshing. Starting blocks (Comoros swim team practices there) and one high-dive for jumping. Some shaded and sunny tables are available to sit and eat or relax. Looks like it has shisha available in the evenings and sometimes hosts concerts or other events. The restaurant has tasty, reasonably priced plates — I had the octopus with fries and also the fish with cooked bananas (each cost 4500 KMF). There was also shrimp available for a little bit higher price. Tall cans of Heineken and Pirate (strong beer) beer are available for 2500 KMF each (about $5.50 USD), one of the few places in the Comoros where you can sip a beer. Free WiFi also available. The female director of the place is very friendly and speaks fluent English. By the way, the name "Cœlecanthe" is the name of a large (can be over 2 meters long and weigh 90 kgs), ancient (dating to 410 million years ago) fish found in the Indian Ocean, and it's also the mascot name of the Comoros National football team. Recommended place to spend a few hours!

Large pool. Access to the pool costs 3000 kmf. Ladies can swim in bikinis. Restaurant (mains 3000-6500 kmf) on site. Restaurant/bar access is free. Complimentary wlan available, works every now and then. Pool bar sells beer and booze. Brilliant oasis among the town. Pool open between 08-20. Apparently a night club at late.
