From the minute we stepped into this stunning hotel, we were welcomed and made to feel like nothing was too much trouble. The staff were kind, respectful and helpful. The towel art in the room was a lovely touch, we were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary ❤️ the food and restaurant staff were amazing and would always try to accommodate our requirements. Special mention to Vikesh, sheranghi, Rohan and Yohan in the bar, the young lady's in the shop and big shout out to the lady and young lad who ran Taba J most days!! We made good use of the spa, and my husband enjoyed the fishing 🎣 although the beach in front of the hotel isn't very big, there are lovely beaches a short walk away. The pool is lovely and cleaned daily. Very relaxed vibe with varying evening entertainment. Taxis are easily available but are not that cheap, we got a bus into Flaq one day which was really cheap and fun! There is a big shopping mall there and a market which is open on Wednesday and Sunday. The hotel will arrange taxis if required. Staff within the hotel do usually know someone who can do excursions, dont be ripped off with the big names like Tui, etc. Worth asking around especially for the 5 islands trip which we went with Sailesh, find him on FB! We got to feed the monkeys!! They came onto the actual boat, we saw them in their natural environment Absolutely amazing, also went to feed giant tortoises 🐢 at La Vanille. Took a trip to Port Louis but apart from a nice waterfront and some high-end boutique shopping, its just a busy city. Be aware that if you arrive early morning your room may not be ready until late morning.||Free boat over to Ils Aux Surf is definitely a bonus! Stunning beaches over there!! Lots of water sports available over there too! ||You can do boat trips to see the dolphins but boats are not legally allowed to get too close (some of the speedboat and big catamarans do get really close and chase them!! Which is quite distressing to witness!! So be very careful who you choose to take you on these trips! Only go with people who are recommended! Use the boathouse staff as they are respectful of the laws and the wildlife. ||The Mauritian people are wonderful, kind, welcoming, and helpful, we did find it quite windy on the east side of the island and you do notice a difference when you go over to the west! ||We had the best time though and will definitely be returning.
