When I asked for a washed cup, she did it again. I then asked if I can have a cup that someone didn't just drink from, at which point the manager or someone came over and gave me a clean cup. I was absolutely baffled by the whole scenario.
The quality of the food was low. The only good food were the indian dishes (note that I'm not Indian nor have been there so no idea how authentic it was) as they tasted very good and were somewhat spicy. Also the fried eggs at breakfast were good. Everything else was kind of awful.
The bar staff had zero training whatsoever. They didn't know how to make most of the cocktails so they googled them there and then or improvised. None of them were even close to what they're supposed to be. Also, when asking for dry wine, the bartender kept giving me very sweet ones. They had no idea what they were serving.
So while the room, the view and the pool were nice, I really cannot recommend the hotel. The staff are not professionally trained at all. More

On my trip one day I missed the toilet door and entered in the kitchen this is the most disgusting kitchen ever seen, very dirty, greasy, chefs sweating, crocroach, bad odor,slippery floor
How can the sanitary authorities can allowed this type of kitchen still operating. Till this day I prefer not to eat in there restaurants. I meet also the Chef Mr Nageaa too ask for halal certificate he gave me an expiry one not even mention the hotel name on it. Without complaining to anyone the so called director Mr Kishaan and the General Manager Mr Manoj meet me at the bar talking to us that we are his family, they have two hotels etc... MR DIRECTOR KISHAAN and MR GM Manoj kindly treat your staff well first your family is your staff they have torn shoes, bad uniforms, old pants. Humamanity, the cooks shoes make me feel very bad. I will not recommend any tour operator to send your guest there and not even for the restaurant disgusting kitchen.

Just spent two weeks at hotel in May from UK. Lovely hotel that could be excellent if it just improved a few minor points. Don’t come here if you want... read more wall to wall entertainment but do come if you want to relax in excellent surroundings.
Good points -
Immaculately clean everywhere.
Friendly staff.
Beautiful swimming pool.
Good breakfasts.
Lovely grounds that were well maintained.
Large rooms with large comfortable beds.
Food was excellent and never got bored over two weeks. No tummy bugs either.
Flic en flac beach - you can walk for miles.
Drinks - mostly good although Pina Colada was pre made. White wine and beer very drinkable.
Beautiful sunsets.
Area felt very safe.
Bad points-
Arrival. Looked after well with drink and towel but left for 30 minutes then told room wasn’t ready and wouldn’t be for another 4 hours. Allowed to have a shower but after travelling for 24 hours, all you want is a change of clothes and dive into the pool. They were even a little hesitant on us getting lunch or a drink as the all inclusive didn’t start until we got our key. Shame holiday started like this as had no other real issues.
Tea and coffee - only available from main restaurant. Even at breakfast it was pre made in insulated jugs. Each bar had a coffee machine but was not in use. No cold milk.
Local area - some restaurants but no local shops apart from two and they closed very early.
Prices - very expensive for everything outside the hotel.
Beach wasn’t bad just disappointing. Very small and rest of frontage is black boulders used as sea defences. There’s steps leading to a sea swimming area but they are broken but still can be used with care. Take own snorkel and reef shoes. Please get those steps fixed.
We did two trips. Both were excellent and booked through Facebook from recommendations on the Love Mauritius page. Took boat trip which was fantastic. South Island trip brilliant too.
Weather in mid May was very good. Occasionally depending on wind direction there could be some cloud cover and short, sharp showers but majority of time was perfect. Very warm but not too uncomfortable.
So please fix steps to sea, get coffee machines working. Sort out check in. Otherwise fantastic hotel - keep up the good work.

Food awful, seemed to be 80% of the guests were Indian so the food was always Rice with curried meat. No chips. Had to beg chef each night for plain... read more pizza and thank god otherwise we would have starved.
I lost 8kg in one week.
Mainly from the fruit based mocktails and awful food.
The sports equipment which you had to sign for was snooker cues without tips and broken table tennis balls so when you walk round the corner it’s no surprise to find the tables broken as well.
Entertainment is non existent unless you class the overweight staff jingling and pretending to belly dance. Worst I’ve ever witnessed. Nothing to do after pleasant beach sunset walk as the tv in rooms have one English Channel a the beds are rock hard.
You can also hear everything from next door due to the shared door.
Spa isn’t a Spa, jacuzzi not heated and loads of broken tiles which also fills with rain water.
Staff are pleasant but low intelligence.
Unfortunately the transport driver stole our mobile phone so not the best first few days as had to track it and go and collect it myself. Not hotels fault but the travel company who provided the transport.
Stunning sunsets and man made scenery though.
Gardens are very well kept.
Maintenance not kept up as loungers green and pool furniture never been cleaned. Now seeing as you have a member of staff sat guarding the rags of towel surely that member of staff would be better put to use and pool drinks service didn’t exist most days.
Expected paradise like the zilwa attitude we previously stayed at. Instead this was awful food very limited and desperation to get home.
