The hotel

Nestled in beautiful tropical gardens, Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel is a gorgeous adults-only boutique hotel, offering guests a secluded retreat from the world. Aptly named, it really is paradise here with a pristine white beach and exceptional views of the lagoon and the northern islands from the peninsula. Highly romantic, the resort even offers ‘love nest’ twin sun beds. Also recommended is a visit to Spa Cinq Mondes. Not only does it boast a pool, hammam and flower baths, you can treat yourself to an Indian Ayurvedic massage — sure to banish any lingering cares! At the Paradise Cove, water sports are very much the order of the day, from snorkelling to water-skiing. Come dusk, Stay Bar is the place to sip on tropical cocktails whilst admiring the sunset. There’s live and unplugged music here too but first enjoy dinner at a choice of restaurants. For local dishes, the Dining Room is ideal or experience Asian fusion cuisine at XO. For a real treat, book a table at The Cove — highly romantic, tables for two are set in small huts, right on the beach, beside a coconut grove.

this is the 5th time that my husband and I have been to Mauritius. We never go to the same hotels, but we would come back to this one again.

What can we say, this was just the most magical place to start our honeymoon! It really does live up to its name of paradise! Service: The service was some of the best we have EVER received. Everyone is so friendly and says good morning to you. The service is incredible, from the waiters, the kitchen staff and the bar staff. We have to make a special mention to Michael who knew our drinks order pretty quickly and was continually bringing us drinks by the beach! And also to Dev for always being so friendly and chatty and making the best Mauritian Ti Punch cocktail! Pools/beach: There are loads of sun-loungers and places to chill which is refreshing compared to most all inclusive hotels these days. The pools were always clean and a lovely temperature to cool off in. Food: we couldn’t fault the food at all, so much choice and the fish was just some of the best we have ever eaten! The pool bar snacks (which are more like full meals) were great for lunch! Honeymoon package: As part of our honeymoon package, we got to do rum tasting, a 20 minute massage each, cooking and a cocktail class as well as a honeymoon dinner! We honestly couldn’t find one negative with this hotel apart from one teeny thing which would be to have a fan or air conditioning above the pool table as it’s so hot there but that is minor! We wish we could come back every year but fingers crossed that sometime in the near future we can come back again! Read less

Just returned after 2 weeks at this fabulous hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious and very comfortable. The food was great especially in Peninsula restaurant. We ate lunch there every day but it has limited booking in the evenings but the buffet in the dining room is also very good. The only problem we had was a picnic lunch on the day we went out. There, were several different kinds of bread but it was all very hard and sadly inedible. We did complain when we got back and the assistant manager and chef both agreed that it was unacceptable and gave us free lobster dinner in Cove restaurant which is not normally included in all inclusive package which we thought was a very generous gesture and more than made up for the disappointing lunch. All the staff were attentive and we were impressed that by day 3 they knew our room number and our preferred choice of drinks. Special mention for Michael who looked after us around the pool with a constant supply of drinks. We hope to return later this year but sadly won’t see him again as he is retiring next month. Look forward to seeing the rest of the staff on our next visit Read less

A perfectly pleasant hotel but I didn't think it was special - there are other hotels which give you more. The website creates an expectation of quality which I didn't feel was delivered. Membership of the "Leading Small Hotels" group in particular sets a high benchmark.
