Tropical Attitude

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

Those torn between ‘contemporary chic’ and ‘utterly authentic’ needn’t choose – after a radical revamp, Tropical Attitude promises both. All bold geometric design and luxe natural touches, this adults-only retreat gives grownups that boutique hotel feel and a genuine Mauritian experience. It starts with its location – facing a turquoise lagoon, just a free shuttle ride from the beautiful beaches at Ile aux Cerfs, it’s near the traditional fishing village of Trou d’Eau Douce. And it continues with its attitude – with real Mauritius found everywhere from its spa treatments to its experiences, including cookery lessons, a weekly ‘Made in Mauritius’ market, and home-cooked dinners at local families’ homes. Dining at Tropical Attitude is equally authentic, whether you’re at its intimate Kot Nou restaurant (which seats just 20 guests), tucking into Mauritian street food from TABA-j, or taking one of its picnic baskets over to Ile aux Cerfs. Book into one of the newer villas to enjoy a private pool all to yourselves, perfect for a special occasion.

It’s a great hotel. Starting off with a welcome drink when you are being checked in. Afterwards you get an elaborate explanation of the hotel and its core values in clear French or English.

It’s a great hotel. Starting off with a welcome drink when you are being checked in. Afterwards you get an elaborate explanation of the hotel and its core values in clear French or English. The hotel itself stands for sustainability, but not at the guest’s expense. Everything is there like in all hotels but in a sustainable manner. You get a refillable bottle for water for example. The staff are really friendly and are always there to help you with anything. Hena in particular, made sure all our requests were fulfilled beyond our expectations. She went above and beyond for us! Over here you don’t feel like a number but one of their appreciated houseguests which they’ll take care of with all their heart. The food is carefully prepared and presented, and the buffet differs every day, making a good blend between local Mauritian dishes as well as more international cuisine. At noon there’s as well a Mauritian food truck with local streetfood to taste the local culture. The rooms are spacious and clean, housekeeping makes sure the room stays neat throughout your stay, surprising you everyday with another ‘towel animal’. The spa ‘POZ’ offers different kinds of massages to meet everyone’s needs, having all nature friendly products. Because the hotel is rather small, it never feels overcrowded, besides there are a lot of sunbeds/sofa’s/… spread throughout the hotel, at the beach, around the pool, on the terrace, … Read less

I would like to start by saying we had the most loving, enthralling, and quite unique experience.

I would like to start by saying we had the most loving, enthralling, and quite unique experience. We had booked this hotel in particular, looking into how they're well aware about nature preservation and trying to minimise plastic usage and the whole facility. We were welcomed with such a warm and big heart with lovely drinks on offer, and the staff was so friendly that we never felt we were on a vacation. Considering we were vegetarians, they're very considerable to us by curating special menu for us and followed by daily evening music and dance activities and have got a lovely spa on offer. The rooms were immaculate and very much reminded me of Greece. We were Honeymoon couple and we were provided with lots of freebies and a special candlelight dinner by the beachside. I would highly recommend them for your next stay and the property is just located on the waterside so there's always calm and serene environment. Read less
