Rivière des Créoles Holidays from £1,598

This was an excellent place to stay in the Grand Baie area, especially because of the wonderful staff. The property itself is nice and well maintained. We liked the half board package, breakfast and dinner were both delicious. The staff really sets this place apart. I wasn’t feeling well during our stay and they went above and beyond to accommodate room service food. We rented a car and parking was sometimes tight. The staff offered to help with parking which really alleviated stress. We’d highly recommend staying here in Mauritius!

Amazing place with a breathtaking view

The room was very clean, decent amenities including a bar service, coffee, tea. The Air conditioning worked perfectly. However the toilet bowl could be better sanitized with disinfectant, some towels were still damp but enough were provided including for the beach. The food was fair with a good breakfast buffet. Beach access and amenities were excellent. The staff were helpful but there were many trainees and few seasoned staff. Overall it was a very comfortable stay. The promised bottle of wine per night never materialized.

We had a relaxing stay overall. Our room was spacious and comfortable, the beach was lovely. However, recurring issues with communication, follow-through and attention to detail affected our experience. On arrival, the robe was dirty and a few items had been left by previous guests. Before arrival, I asked about a special dinner but was directed towards the usual restaurants. During our stay, we discovered private dining was an option. We were also incorrectly told entertainment was only on Thursdays and Saturdays, so missed a live performance. Food was disappointing and did not feel like fine dining, with inconsistent quality and incorrect orders. Being half board, we ate out more than planned due to the food and drink quality. Smaller requests, including water deliveries, were missed, and promised feedback at check-out did not happen. Sound insulation through the connecting door was poor, with the neighbouring shower, TV and toilet clearly audible. The evening atmosphere felt more procedural than relaxed, with the bar winding down around 9:40pm, music turned off while staff completed paperwork. Dimitry on the beach deserves special mention for being consistently welcoming and attentive. The spa was clean and our couples massage was excellent, with special thanks to Greeta and Sandy. We hope this feedback is taken constructively, as clearer communication and better follow-through could make a real difference.
