This was our first time to Mauritius and the hotel and holiday exceeded our expectations. The food was great and there was something different every night to choose from with... read more lots of choices too. We loved the peacefulness of the resort and no matter if we lay by the beach or by the pool it was quiet and calm. The hotel and grounds are kept extremely keen and there are great housekeeping staff. Really good cocktails on the all inclusive menu and even the house wine was of a high standard too. The staff at the hotel certainly made our holiday. Lucie one of the chefs stood out to us as well as Manoj the manager and Ashwini in the spa. That was also a wonderful experience and a must if you like to treat yourself to a massage while on holiday. We went on two day trips organised through Mani tours at the hotel, one to watch and swim with the dolphins, followed by lunch on a desert island and the second, a tour of the south of the island. Mauritius is truly a beautiful island with lots of stunning areas and attractions to see and experience. Overall our best holiday to date and this hotel is 10 out of 10. More

Overall, this hotel—with its great staff, excellent food, and peaceful, scenic location—made for a wonderful 10-day holiday. This was our first time visiting Mauritius, and we were not disappointed.
... read more /> I’ll start with the hotel itself. It’s located at the very beginning (or end) of Flic en Flac Beach. After walking along most of the beach, which is truly stunning, we were actually glad our hotel was positioned where it was. Some of the other hotels further along were quite loud, and the beach becomes very busy with tourists & locals at the weekend. Here, however, you feel removed from the crowds—close enough to walk over and enjoy the atmosphere if you want, but far enough to truly relax.
The hotel grounds are beautiful, and you’ll see gardeners out every day maintaining them. The infinity pool is lovely, and we never had an issue getting a sunbed on the man-made beach or around the pool. To be honest, the hotel almost felt adults-only at times, as we hardly saw any children. That said, it is very much a quiet, relaxing-vibe hotel with not much to entertain kids. There is a games room, but both times we went in hoping to play pool, it was stiflingly hot with no air-conditioning, so we didn’t end up using it.
Accommodation
This was the one area that wasn’t great. We booked through Blue Bay Travel and were promised an upgraded ocean-view room. While the room did face the sea, it was extremely old and tired. After exploring the hotel, we realised that the more modern accommodation is actually the block surrounding the infinity pool. These rooms looked newly built with fresh paint and LED lighting—more like 5-star rooms—whereas ours felt more like 3-star at best. So we definitely felt like it was a down grade from our tour operator not an upgrade as promised. (See pics)
We were on the ground floor with a small patio, but after two nights of hearing the guests above dragging chairs around at night and having an issue with our shower drain, we asked reception if we could move. The receptionist was lovely, and within 10 minutes she called us to say a new room was available. It was still in the same block but on a higher floor, and this made the rest of our holiday much more enjoyable.
The minibar was included in our all-inclusive package and restocked daily with 4 cans of soft drink, 2 cans of beer, and 2 large bottles of water.
WiFi is not great at all and we were so glad that we had purchased a data only eSIM before we arrived as this was a life saver. Also hardly any reception in your room on the TVs. We had BBC news for a couple of days then it disappeared and we didn’t have any other English Channels. It was OK as we don’t go away to watch TV but if we didn’t have the great weather and ended up in our room more we might have felt differently.
Food
Most meals are served in the main buffet restaurant near reception, and I have to say this was some of the best food we’ve ever had at an all-inclusive resort. Everything was fresh, varied, and delicious. There were beautiful salads and soups to start, followed by a large Asian-inspired section with rice, noodles, curries, and meat and fish cooked fresh in front of you. There were also pizza and pasta options.
If you prefer very plain food or expect things like burgers and chips in the evening, you may be disappointed—those are only available at the burger bar at lunchtime.
Breakfast offered plenty of fresh fruit, cheese, croissants, cereals, hash browns, beans, and an omelette station.
Activities
On our third day, we booked a catamaran trip through a third-party company (though I’m sure you could arrange something similar through the hotel). It was absolutely one of the highlights of our holiday. A taxi took us to the other side of the island near the airport, where we boarded the boat. Within 10 minutes, a family of dolphins appeared and swam around us. We stopped for snorkelling, then sailed up an inlet to see waterfalls and monkeys on the rocks. After lunch on board, we visited the beautiful beach on Île aux Cerfs before returning in the late afternoon.
At the hotel, there’s a natural sea pool right in front of the property with steps for easy access. (See pic) The snorkelling here was incredible—we saw fish in every colour imaginable and went in most mornings before breakfast.
There were canoes available on the beach, which we were hoping to use, but each time we asked, the water sports staff told us the water was too choppy or the tide too low. In our entire 10-day stay, we didn’t see a single person using the canoes or pedalo boats. I’m not sure if this area is run by a separate company, but the staff there didn’t seem very engaged—quite the opposite of the rest of the hotel, where the staff were absolutely amazing. Everyone—from bar staff to waiters, entertainment, and reception—worked so hard and always greeted us warmly with a smile.
Overall
This hotel, and Mauritius in general, was exactly what we wanted: beautiful surroundings, peaceful days in the sunshine (29°C most days), and the chance to relax and recharge before heading home for Christmas.
I apologise if this review is a little long, but I wanted to give an honest and informative overview so you can get the best out of your holiday.

There are lots of pretty areas with sun beds in them, it’s not just all focussed around the pool, and the parasols are steady as a rock. It was pretty windy while we were there and the parasols were steady as a rock.

My favourite was the pancakes with chocolate sauce, available every morning and afternoon. The lamb burgers in the burger bar were another favourite, and my partner loved the fish curries. This is the first time we have been all inclusive and we were very happy. I like a lot of soft drinks during the day and there was plenty of juice and water available, plus a few cans in the mini bar. We also indulged in the cocktails, and the local wine was excellent.

I must mention also the staff who were just wonderful, I could not fault the customer service. I felt that they were all focussed on making sure we had a lovely holiday, and we were constantly told to ask if there was anything we needed. They arranged a couple of tours of the island for us, much cheaper than our tour operator. We also went out on the glass bottomed boat, which is free. It’s only a half hour trip, which really suits me because I get seasick easily, so we were out and back before I started to feel queasy and we saw some beautiful fish plus some rays, starfish and coral. Due to the wind we were unable to go out on the snorkelling boat trip, and they wouldn’t let us borrow masks to just go out in the bay so it’s worth taking gear with you or buying some in the town.
Flic-en-Flac beach is very appealing. It has swimming areas marked out with buoys, but there is broken coral everywhere so you need water shoes for swimming and walking on the beach.
I thoroughly enjoyed yoga on the beach. I’ve often done Pilates with some kind of soothing music in the background, but you can’t beat a session to the sound of the actual ocean. More

Hotel- grounds are beautiful and staff are friendly, sea view room stunning.
Food- not for us , burger bar was not great and burgers (beef and chicken poor quality and cooked pink despite asking for well done, Buffett restaurant limited choose (unless u eat curry & fish) the pizza was all we ate every night.
Insects - big issues with insects, and birds in restaurant, and stray cats riddled in fleas.
Evening entertainment not really maybe a bit of dancing but mainly just a DJ, entertainment team appearance to just be walking around all day.
All saying that it was a good break away but wouldn’t visit again.
