Le Meridien Ile Maurice

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

A secluded resort with rich heritage and stunning beachfront views that’s ideal for both romantic getaways and fun-filled family trips. If peace and serenity is what you’re after, book a room in the Nirvana wing; a peaceful haven for adults-only, featuring a private pool, bar and intimate beach area. You’ll even receive a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival to toast on the balcony, the perfect way to kick off a relaxing holiday. If you have got the kids in tow, they’ll love the activities on offer at the kids club with water-gun fights, crab hunting and outdoor cinema being just some of what’s on offer. Whilst it will be hard to tear yourself away from the glittering infinity pool, be sure to book one of the many excursions on offer and explore the northern islands and Grand Baie – the concierge will help you to arrange a trip that meets your desires. When you return you’ll have a hard time deciding where to dine for the evening; Jade is the newest restaurant at the hotel, offering a gateaway to the finest flavours of the East, with some fantastic sake pairings to go with.

Probably, this is the best value for a 5-star hotel in Mauritius. For around 400 USD per night, we had an ocean view room, which was very nice, spacious, and clean.

Probably, this is the best value for a 5-star hotel in Mauritius. For around 400 USD per night, we had an ocean view room, which was very nice, spacious, and clean. The views of the beach and see are gorgeous. You can see more in my video review. Customer service was great throughout the resort. The food I think was excellent in most of the restaurants. We highly recommend the daily dinner buffet, the Indian restaurant, and the Japanese/Panasian. It does get very crowded, though, during morning breakfast. We went for dinner to the Intercontinental for one night and also to some local restaurants, and to be honest, the food at the Meridien was far better. Beach and pool furniture is of good quality and plentiful. We never ran out of beach beds. Also, many activities are included in the room price, such as kayaking, water skiing, snorkelling, and many more. We also highly recommend the Mauritian cuisine workshope well worth the fee. So overall, this was one of the best beach hotels I have stayed in the world. Read less

This hotel has got to be one of the best hotels i’ve ever stayed at. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything was exceptional! Staff - Lau, Serena, Kiran, Khushi and Artee from the Reception & Guest Relations team. Lila from housekeeping, Sachin in the Gym, and all the wonderful staff at Jade restaurant. You guys are absolute diamonds and huge assets to this hotel, hope management take note! Food & Drinks - with the all inclusive package, food was plentiful and varied each day in the Nomad restaurant. Cocktails were outstanding whether at the main bar or the pool bars. Jade restaurant was top class and delicious. One slight issue was the Waves restaurant (outdoor seating mainly) there were too many flies around the food, staff did their best to repel them, but it became overwhelming with so many around that we had to rush out. Kids club - was great, lots of activities and the team looked after my kids, so much so that my 3yo wanted to go everyday! Pools - 2 mains pools & 1 adults only pool, all brilliant and well staffed. Guys coming around regularly asking for drinks orders and food orders. Gym - great gym to have a workout, lots of good new equipment. Service overall was brilliant. This hotel is well above 5* standards and one i shall be returning too! Dont miss this hotel!!! Read less

We had an absolutely lovely stay here - from the fresh and large room, great pools, and extremely friendly and helpful service overall! Our room - a family room on ground level - was beautiful and spacious with plenty of room for a cot and patio space to relax. The pools are fantastic with plenty of shallow areas for kids to safely splash around. The staff were always super friendly and interactive. The kids club is a lovely and large space for the little ones. The highlight for us was the food and service. We had Kosher food requirements, and the hotel and chef (Chef Mahan was amazing and knowledgable!) were wonderfully accommodating. They ensured that all of our needs were met and were extremely forthcoming in ensuring our needs were met - the food was delicious; if you have dietary/Kosher requirements, we cannot recommend this hotel enough! Overall - our experience was nothing short of amazing and we hope to visit again soon! Read less

Warm welcome and hassle-free check-in. Cosy, clean, comfortable room with added perks. Personal attention to detail. Wide variety of unlimited drinks included in AIP. Amazing setting and decorations.

Warm welcome and hassle-free check-in. Cosy, clean, comfortable room with added perks. Personal attention to detail. Wide variety of unlimited drinks included in AIP. Amazing setting and decorations. Can select from a number of land and sea activities. Last but not the least, the food is just wow. If being a vegetarian, I was spoilt for choice, just imagine for the non-vegetarians! A special vote of thanks to the sweet lady who welcomed us, to Mr Arekion who planned our meals so beautifully and professionally, to the staff of Jade Restaurant where we had lunch on Saturday (special thanks to that lady who served us with so much patience and love...sorry, don't know your name) and to the staff of Waves Restaurant where we had dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday ... Kelvin, Romeo, Umesh, Divya, Tisha, Nelisa.... to name a few. Keep up the great work guys! Thank to each and every-one of you for making for making it so special for all the 18 of us. Read less
