Hotel Riu Palace Mauritius

This was my second stay at the hotel to celebrate my birthday, and it didn’t disappoint! I was pleasantly surprised with a bottle of champagne delivered by room service, which was a lovely touch. The hotel impressed me with its peaceful atmosphere, cleanliness, and sense of safety. The rooms were spotless, and the meals were outstanding. There was a wide variety of food available, and everything I tried was delicious. A special shout-out to the well-trained and attentive staff members—Samuel, Estelle, Mohamed, Smita, and Steven—who made my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience!

This hotel is absolutely beautiful and all the staff are so kind and helpful, anything you ask they will assist you in the best that they can. I had some issues with the aircon in my room and they were on it straight away to fix it. There are 3 restaurants, the main buffet and 2 themed restaurants, you do need to book these in advance through the RIU app, I’d advise doing it at midnight as they are very popular. There are 2 other restaurants which are at the other resort Turquoise. Palace guests can go over to that hotel and use all the facilities but Turquoise guests cannot come over to the palace side which is great as the Palace is for adults only. The buffet is one of the best buffets I’ve ever been too, there is so much to choose from and changed daily, I have a few allergies/diet requirements and 1 of the evenings the chef made me a fresh pasta dish. Evening entertainment is at the main stage sega bar which is on the turquoise side so you are mixed with families, it would have been nice to have more adult only entertainment options but it was still very fun & enjoyable. The entertainment staff are so talented and lovely, the work so hard bless them. The only suggestion I would make is the staff door by the Sega bar needs to have key card access as quite frequently I’d see turquoise guests sneaking through there to the Palace side. There is a door for guests to use which is key card access but this seems pointless if people are able to walk through the staff door. Overall you know what you’re getting with Riu, their standards are incredibly high, if I were to return to Mauritius I’d be back to stay here!

Great all inclusive resort. Modern, clean, above average food, good drinks, no kids. However, be mindful that it sits on a very windy part of the island, known for kite surfing and other activities. So if your plan is to relax by the beach, it's not the best beach of the island for that. If you turn the corner to the west facing side of the peninsula, no wind. The south side, very windy.

Location is nice and set up around the hotel is great. We stayed by the adult area, nice private and beaches. The DJ and music for the pool is a bit hectic as the songs are weird remixes, dated and cheesy considering it’s supposed to be a premium hotel. Volume goes up very loud for the songs and quiet for others. Skips all the time in middle of songs also.. Not ideal when trying to relax.

The Riu Palace ( Adults only) is beautifully located on South West of the island. The staff is very nice and respectful. Nothing is too much for them. The restaurant offers excellent service with large selection of food and drinks. You can also book a La carte restaurant.There’s a swimming pool ( with Waterfall bar) also easy access to the beach. Rooms are comfortable and spotless ( clean every day, changing towels, refilling the fridge etc). The hotel has wonderful atmosphere and we have enjoyed our holidays very much. The beauty of the island is breathtaking, people are friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic hotel. It's such a beautiful location. The staff are wonderful and always do their very best to help. This is our second visit and it felt like coming home. Amazing holiday, and we will definitely be returning.

The hotel is okay. We were on 2 night and all inclusive. Room is okay but moderately equipped. Buffet is very large but not every dish is tasty. Room is new but one led strip fell on bed. No one on bed at this time else …. Nothing done about it when reception informed. Reception wrongly informed on restaurant timing. Therefore we miss reservation for steak house. Location is great with exceptional views.

Staff were wonderful! So friendly and always willing to help. A lovely waitress called Juliette always made us feel welcome and the reception staff were brilliant too. Housekeeping were really great too! We had a fab view of the sea!
