Just back from a relaxing holiday in Mauritius. The hotel was a real highlight with great service from all the staff. No ask to big and helpful in organising activities on the Island. We loved our room (1200) which was right on beach, by the adult pool and the Beach Grill. Will certainly be back for more…

From arrival to departure it was a wonderful experience. The staff were all extremely helpful and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms very large with great terrace and views. Although the hotel was apparently full it was very quiet. We had two 40th birthdays and a 70th. The staff made are stay exceptional. We had a meal in the Ocean view pergola down a board walk in the sea. It was so personal. All the restaurants were amazing. The Teppanyaki was a great experience and the chef not only good but gave a wonderful display of her culinary skills. The sunsets were amazing followed by either cocktails or dinner in the beach restaurant Mystique. A table was always found for us. Notable staff to be commended were, Dravish front of house Michelle head Butler Ashlay and Artee at Mystique restaurant Jummel..amazing care all round. Vajesh who endlessly smiled and drove my Grandson around the resort in the golf buggy. Mevin waiter at Kangan Indian restaurant…amazing food too!! Jessica our room attendant who looked after us in our rooms so well. Doris, the lovely flower lady who gave my daughter and I a wonderful flower arranging morning. I am so sorry if I haven’t mentioned everyone but truly everyone was amazing. Read less

I had one of the best experiences compared to the other Mauritian hotels I’ve been to. The service is impeccable and all the staff has a part to place in making your stay special. I felt very well taken care of and the hotel is absolutely beautiful with such beautiful sunset. One night they had the violinist playing while the sun was setting and I’ve never seen anything so beautiful, another night they had a sega show and a fire show. They have great picture spots and a I had a really good massage. There were a few people I’d recommend from there, Navin the Batman is great at the bar and when we arrived Kemuel welcomed us and made our settling down very very easy, a special thanks to Ravi Jaypaul aswell who was very welcoming and very knowledgeable in terms of wine and also winsley from the entertainment team always made sure we knew what entertainment there was for the day to make sure we were not bored. On our last evening, Nicolas Marié made sure we saw the sega night which made things even more special before we left, and yaseer always made sure during the day by the pool we were comfortable. I am very impressed and would definitely come back to this hotel simply because of the service. I have recommended this to my relatives in Mauritius and to my friends and Family in london Read less
