As always the Oberoi goes above and beyond. The Staff are the biggest credit to this hotel. Mei greeted us each morning at breakfast by name, I didn't want to name just one member of staff as quite frankly they are all amazing from the pool guys to the gardeners, even the chef came and spoke to us at dinner one evening and the cocktail evenings with the manager. The food in the restaurants was excellent, we did find it quite rich to eat every evening as we booked half board, we ate in the bar some evenings to break it up a bit. In hindsight we would not have booked half board if we had known that the hotel is set in a town with many restaurants. We were kind of comparing as we stayed at the Oberoi in Bali, where you do need half board as nothing outside of the hotel. The afternoon tea was a lovely treat a 4pm each day, the activities I didn't find as engaging as the ones in Mauritius as sitting on the floor in Amphitheatre wasn't the most practical to participate, much preferred the way Mauritius had there craft classes. The pool was nice, only one at this hotel so it is used by both adults and children, which was not a problem most days I had the pool to myself. The pool staff were excellent with the towel service, fruit and sorbet treats throughout the day. The setting was lovely right on a sandy beach which was nice to walk along and watch the surfers. The sea was too rough to swim in. Our room was perfect, housekeeping amazing. We had another fabulous holiday at The Oberoi and look forward to visiting another one soon.
