8.8/10 Excellent! (52 reviews)

First off we booked a room close to where daughter lived with the expectation she could come and hang out with us in the evening. When we checked in we were told she was only allowed to go to the bar. She couldn’t come to our room at all. This should have been listed in the write up of the room or at least posted in our confirmation. Second we booked the room with the tub and surrounding windows(we paid extra for that room). The tub did not ever have hot water. We mentioned to staff several times and they said they were told it was fixed but it was not. The windows were broken. One was open when we checked in and we really had to struggle to close. On last day we opened another one and we couldn’t get it to close. There was a table in the room and you couldn’t really work at it because it wasn’t level and rocked. The second to last night we had been out and we were going up to the bar to hang out with my daughter. The staff at the front desk stopped us and told us that it was too late. Again never told that there was a time limit. I asked to speak to the Manager and expressed my all of my frustrations. He apologized and then allowed us to come up for a drink. He comped drinks. The staff was very nice and tried to accommodate. My biggest complaint was we were never told these policies from booking. The hotel itself really could use a little more updating.

I had a wonderful vacation in the Resort, and my overall experience was excellent. The resort is beautiful, relaxing, and very well maintained, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy Mauritius. I would like to give a special thank you to the housekeeping supervisor for his outstanding service. Late at night, around 12:00 a.m., when some food was accidentally spilled on the deck, he personally came to assist. He brought a mop and cleaned the area himself with great care and professionalism. This level of dedication, especially at such a late hour, truly reflects the high standards and genuine hospitality of the resort staff. Moments like this made my stay even more special. I truly appreciate the kindness and responsiveness of the team, and I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking for excellent service and a memorable vacation in Mauritius.

Only stayed for one night as we were travelling around the island. It was exactly as described and as I expected. Convenient location to the airport, blue bay and Mahebourg. Ideally you would need a car to get out of the resort and explore. Hotel has everything you need though. Big shopping centre 5 min drive away.

The hotel was good and had great amenities, especially good wateraports.However I would class it as a 4 star rather than a 5 star. The check in was poor. Having travelled 13 hours and through the night, I did not expect there to be be a delay in checking in....surely they could have found another ...
