Mauritius Family Holidays
The fabulous island of Mauritius has no trouble delivering a feast of fun and entertainment for families.
There’s never a dull moment in this incredible Indian Ocean getaway, with its magnificent beaches, exhilarating water sports action, amazing wildlife and marine attractions, and breath-taking landscapes. When families venture outside their hotel they will discover a kaleidoscope of activities to create an enthralling holiday adventure to remember.
Most families love to spend a day on the beach and Mauritius has dozens of divine sandy expanses where mum and dad can relax and catch some rays while watching their little ones making sandcastles and paddling in the warm ocean waters.
Parents and older children can take to the sea for some lively water sports action or climb aboard a banana boat or pedalo for a bundle of fun.
Among the major attractions for families to check out during a holiday in Mauritius are Black River Gorge National Park, La Vanille Crocodile Park, Martello Towers, Casela Bird Park and the imposing Balaclava Ruins. Another great option is to spend a day at Splash N Fun Leisure Park, a brilliant theme park in Belle Mare that boasts dozens of slides and rides.

Steve and Davidson the restaurant managers went overboard to make our stay most memorable. 2 members of my family fell ill NOTHING to do with the hotel and he made sure they were looked after.
The level of service was second to none from Steve and his team, he is also quite a character. Davidson, has a more laid back approach. But also on the ball, he does not miss a thing, he noticed the first night my husband was absent from dinner and apart from saying hello at meal times, we had not really spoken now, we are all great friends.
The food was amazing a great choice every meal time.
We ate off the special menu one night, 3 lobster 1 mixed grill, perfect. 1 of us could not make it so they had their meal the following night.
On our last night, we went to the Indian restaurant situated in the hotel, the food was again, amazing and plenty of it, thank you to the chef.
Rooms were immaculately cleaned. Fresh bottled water and soft drinks replenished every day.
All in all every member of staff, from the gardeners to the top worked hard to make our stay a memorable one

The staff was very friendly. I read some comments about the cleanliness with which I didn't have any problems either, the room was cleaned daily and the liquids were filled up every time. The room was well equipped. The facility is beautiful with plenty of green, fountains, cute animals. The sight from the dining terrace onto the ocean is marvellous. The food is sometimes strange for a European, but that's more of a global tropical issue for us. They could offer some more cocktail sorts (only a personal preference :) ).
All in all, I was happy with this choice.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Casuarina Resort & Spa with my family and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The resort is beautifully maintained with lush greenery, a peaceful ambiance, and direct access to one of the most stunning beaches on the island.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The rooms were clean, cozy, and well-equipped, with lovely views and comfortable beds that made for a restful stay.
One of the highlights was the food—delicious and varied, with a great mix of local and international dishes. The themed buffet nights were a nice touch, and the tropical cocktails at the bar were fantastic.
The pool area was relaxing and never overcrowded, and the pool activities were fun.
Overall, Casuarina offers excellent value for money and a truly relaxing getaway. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, peaceful, and memorable stay.
Yan Ashiven Jaunky
We had a wonderful dining experience at the hotel restaurant. Suhail took care of us exceptionally well throughout the evening—his attentiveness, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made our dinner even more enjoyable. The service was seamless, and we truly appreciated his thoughtful recommendations and warm hospitality. Highly recommended!
Karina Goldgewicht
The Casuarina Spa hotel is perfect for a stay in the north of Mauritius. We received a very warm welcome. The four of us had a large bungalow with two rooms, each with a bathroom. The beds are very comfortable. The room is equipped with everything you need and is always very clean. Everything is replenished and cleaned every day. Half board is more than enough. Very tasty and always different dishes. The staff in the whole complex are very courteous and friendly. There is a lot of entertainment in the resort. The spa also offers many different treatments. The hammam is great, as is the facial and full body treatment. The beach is only a five minute walk away. All around more than satisfied.

We stayed as a family with our 13-year-old daughter and had a really cozy, relaxing time here. Staff are kind and attentive, the rooms are not new but very clean — and the beds, pillows and mattresses are super comfortable.
The nature is beautiful — birds singing in the mornings, tropical plants everywhere. The food isn’t very diverse, but it’s fresh and tasty, and we always found something to enjoy.
Lots of free water activities like kayaking, pedal boats and glass-bottom boat rides were a big plus. The beach in front of the hotel is okay, but if you walk 10–15 minutes toward Pereybere, you’ll find beautiful swimming spots with clear turquoise water.
We really appreciated the friendly cats who help keep the area clean from mice and rats (which sometimes show up on the public beach). And of course, special thanks to the brave little white dog who guards the terrace from stray dogs — small but mighty!
These animals are not just adorable — they’re the unofficial junior staff of the hotel. They play an important role in keeping the space safe and balanced, and they truly belong here. We sincerely hope the hotel will continue to protect and support them as part of its eco-friendly environment.
Thank you to the team — we had a peaceful and memorable stay.
Celita Williams-Warner
Great staff really friendly, beautiful hotel… the food wasn’t great but after talking with San who spoke with the chef and organised for us to special dinners made up…. We can wonderful time here ….. amazing housekeeping team…. Any problems with hospitality talk to San great guy👍🏾
Vivekananda Virupaksha
One of the best hotels I've stayed at! The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent service and hospitality.
pamela ramasamy
Very beautiful hotel
Me n friends went for a daypass . The staff are very friendly and it is a very cozy place.
The food is delicious . In fact a big thanks to Mr Vish who arrange for my friend food as she eats only jain food. It was so sweet to Mr Vish he had made all the necessary arrangement for her food.
He is a very kind person and very friendly also
We enjoyed our daypass n is planning to go there again.
Darren Ashley
This is a nice hotel in a reasonably okay location. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The staff are exceptionally polite and accommodating.
If you are looking for a really nice beach hotel, this isn’t the one for you. The beach although across the road is okay, but not the beauty you may be looking for.
Additionally, I went for the all-inclusive package. I quickly learnt in the first day that you will not be getting a 5* service that usually comes with all-inclusive. When ordering food and drinks, you still have to sign for them…so although a minor inconvenience it’s not a completely seamless experience.
Eating areas are all outside. There is no inside seating anywhere which can be nice (especially with evening entertainment) but can also be annoying when fighting away the flies that will be coming for your food and drinks. An inside area as an option would be a nice addition
Finally, I’d love to shout out our room attendant Vanee who always paid our room special attention every day, and the amazing assistant Douglass.

Really beautiful Hotel, it's Not big, but hast got all you need, the rooms are kept simple and nice, the Pool is good, a Bit cold, but I was there in the Winter, beach Looks good, No Trash, free sunbeds, parasols, the bar is really comfortable, a big Menu with pretty cheap prices, the Restaurant is really good, Always different, Desserts are Perfect. There are Many Opportunities to do Trips Like going to ile aux Cerf, doing a cooking class, authentic Dinner and more. I highly recommend doing a Taxi Trip with a Taxi in Front of the Hotel, I recommend going with the Taxi Driver Sundeep, he is very nice and tells you a Lot about maruitian culture, Things Like the Hindu Temple and more.
You can rent Board Games for free at the reception. Overall one of the best Hotels I've been, smalls but Perfect
karen Michel
We had the pleasure of staying at Friday Attitude Hotel this weekend, and everything about our stay exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Miss Mia was very friendly and ready to help.
One thing that really stood out was how Mr Vishal handled our late check-out request. Without hesitation, he tried his best for our request. This made our final day more relaxed and unhurried. That level of attention and flexibility really impressed us.
Highly recommended!
Big thanks to Friday Attitude team.
With gratitude,
Michel’s family.

I am currently staying here at the moment. I've been here for 4 days, and we can not fault a thing . Food is great and always kept under covers and served fresh
Staff are lovely and very helpful. Rooms are cleaned every day. The pool is also very clean . For a 3 star hotel it's excellent. For a relaxing holiday, i would definitely come back
Sankt P
Just beautiful! From first second, you will feel at home. The staff is very lovely to children and do everything needed.
Once you arrived, you will be wihtin a green oasis. kids can run from the appartement or pool ditectly to the beautiful beach. The food was very good. We would have liked to stay longer...
many thanks for some unforgettable days
Best regards

Local vibes, local food, local drinks, these are all the things you can expect while staying there.
As soon as you step in the hotel, the decor immediately puts you in the mood you need. Cosy, warm, and modern was well thought out with a Mauritian touch.
The management welcomed us very warmly, and we enjoyed our Mauritian dishes!
We had a very nice spacious family room😊
The pool is a bit old school, but the beach is a good compromise!
Appreciates the complimentary cake given for my husband's birthday🙂 and my daughter enjoyed the kid's club.
A big thanks to Kishan, he always greeted with a smile and for going above and beyond to ensure that our diner, breakfast, and lunch time were exceptional, and the excellent service made all the difference❤️
Evening entertainment....I know they can do better😉
Most important, we went home with lots of memories🫶🏖🏝

Patrick Lew Yew Chin
We enjoyed the comfort and luxury of the resort, enhanced by the warmth and hospitality of the hotel team. As a whole wing of the resort was under renovation, coupled with the low season occupancy, it was a bonus that we sort of had the resort, pool and buffet to ourselves plus a few other guests, with no queues at buffets and plenty of sun lounges to choose from and empty swimming pools. Having said that, we're used to a bit more vibrant atmosphere when holidaying at resorts, so it was also lacking that ambience that we missed. For a change, we still enjoyed the peace and tranquility though! One of the highlights would have to be the stunning sunsets, either from the room balcony, the lobby, the pool or the beach. Absolutely breathtaking!
Bip Mistry
Hotel is exceptionally clean and rooms are well looked after. Restaurant serves a great range of high quality dishes catering for both non-veg and veg with different buffet themes every night. Restaurant staff and chefs are friendly, welcoming and delightful with special mention to Will and his team for making every night so welcoming. Beach area has good amenities and was well looked after including beds which were a plenty during our stay. Improvements can be made on housekeeping which didn't always deliver the turn down service or adequate towels unless requested. However, I must add all requests were quickly followed up without delay. One of the ladies on beach towel duty looks like she didn't want to be there and never presented with a smile or a willingness to converse but she was an exception to all the other staff we encountered and interacted with. A great selection of nautical activities included free of charge but not very well advertised to guests. The young boys at the nautical centre should be better trained to deliver the important safety instructions when at sea in English as well as in French. All water equipment was well maintained and appeared to be of good quality. Purchasing drinks at the hotel is very expensive and couldn't understand why an additional surcharge was added for drinks purchased at the beach side restaurants or pool bar by staying guests; seems unfair and unjust when you've already paid a premium for staying at the hotel.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel and compliment all the staff for making each day memorable with their tentative and happy nature.
Lukas Vogel
The hotel grounds are beautiful, especially the entrance area and the huge pool, which we really loved.
Unfortunately, we were not very satisfied with the friendliness, helpfulness, and competence of the reception staff. We were repeatedly put off and had to return multiple times for answers to our questions.
However, the staff in the restaurants and at the diving center were extremely friendly and professional! A special mention goes to Steward, with whom we had a wonderful dolphin, turtle, and snorkeling tour.
The rooms are nice, and the breakfast as well as the dinner buffet were very generous, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious – leaving nothing to be desired.
Fadwa .R
We stayed for 5 nights;
Pros; 1- the spa by l'occitane is a nice, the ladies are sweet and massage was good
2- the beach is nice and clean.
Cons, 1- We booked a beach-view room but the view is blocked by trees and they refused to change it. The walls are thin you can hear all the noises outside. There is no warm/hot water in the bathroom only super cold.
2- food, buffet is below average one day we saw a small cockroach at the buffet table, the Asian restaurent was closed through-out my stay, the beach bar restaurent is good but opens from 12-5. Overall limited options.
3- Service overall is very bad, slow, no service at the beach, no complementary water at the rooms except for day of arrival
4- Cleanness, the facility overall is not very clean.
Overall if you are looking for 5 stars Standards, this is not the one.
IAMSHANKY (Shanky)
I recently stayed at your hotel during my honeymoon trip and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. I would like to bring the following issues to your attention, as they significantly impacted my stay:
1. **Late Check-In and Room Upgrade Issue**:
I arrived at the hotel at 10 am after my flight landed in Mauritius at 7:30 am. Despite being assured of an early check-in and an upgraded room, I was made to wait until 3 pm, and the promised upgraded room was not provided. I was given a standard room instead, which was disappointing after such a long wait.
2. **Poor Room Cleaning and Maintenance**:
The housekeeping service was extremely subpar. There were insufficient towels, the bathtub was often dirty, and swimming towels were not changed daily. On some days, the bed sheets were not changed either. For a premium-priced room, this level of service was unacceptable.
3. **Candlelight Dinner Refusal**:
As it was my honeymoon, I requested a candlelight dinner in the morning to be arranged for the evening. However, I was informed that this was not available. This was particularly disappointing as I was hoping for a special experience during such an important trip.
4. **Insufficient Amenities**:
The room was meant for double occupancy, yet only one umbrella was provided. This was inconvenient and did not meet basic expectations for a double-sharing room.
5. **Lost Item and Poor Follow-Up**:
I accidentally left an item in the room after checkout. When my friend called the reception to inquire about it, there was no follow-up or callback from the staff. This lack of responsiveness was frustrating and unprofessional.
Overall, my experience at your hotel did not meet the standards I expected, especially for a honeymoon trip.
I would appreciate it if you could provide a resolution or compensation for the inconveniences I faced. Please let me know how you plan to address these issues.
Looking forward to your prompt response.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sands Suites Resort & Spa in Mauritius. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and offer a stunning view of the ocean – truly a highlight! The bathroom is excellent as well: modern, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything you might need.
Breakfast is the same every day, but it leaves nothing to be desired – a wide selection, high quality, and a great start to the day. In the evenings, the hotel hosts weekly changing themed dinners with delicious food and plenty of variety. There’s truly something for everyone.
The entire resort is beautifully maintained, with great attention to detail, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We also really enjoyed the spa – professional service, a calm setting, and a wide range of treatments.
The beach is very quiet and perfect for relaxing. We recommend wearing water shoes when going into the sea, as there are some rocks and corals.
We would definitely come back and can highly recommend this hotel!
Marcos Resende
Fantastic hotel to stay, the hotel offers a nice pool area with bar and food available, you can relax or walk in the beach, the sunshine is amazing. The people in this resort are fantastic, and they are all the time making your stay special. It is a quiet place with modern and spacious rooms with games available near the bar and music at night. I really recommend the restaurant in front of the beach that you should book as soon as you arrive in the resort. They offer two tennis court and a spa area with a jacuzzi and sauna that you should book as well. The gym is small.
Pierre Agostini
Out of the 3 hotels we stayed during our trip in Mauritius, the Sands was the best one !
Located at the end of the Main Street of Flic en Flac, you’ll stay in one of the best hotel in this area. You’re warmly welcomed and the staff is very nice. We had a pleasant stay, the pool is warm the beach safe.
We choose halfboard and the food was great. Despite the restaurant staff should be less intrusive, I know it’s 5star hotel etiquette but please no need to fill my glass of water or remove my plate every minute.Let me finish first.
However if you want to eat outside, there is basically no option around the hotel. You’ll need to take taxi because the hotel is far from the town (at least 30min walk on a narrow road)
A. MMR
Having been to more than 80 5-star hotels around the world, Sands Suits Resort & Spa though rated as a 5-star hotel it certainly did not live up to this standard. the rooms are very dated and full of insects mainly geckos, food at the main restaurant was a major disappointment as if cooked by amateurs, lobby and reception staff can use more professional training to understand 5-star hospitality protocols and the spa is terrible and appears to be a small accommodation run by a group of amateurs. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to travelers visiting Mauritius especially those expecting luxury. The only positive traits to this Hotel are its location and the friendliness and competence of staff working in the restaurant and bar areas.
Jeremiah W
Our favorite hotel in Mauritius. Beautiful rooms, stretch of beach, infinity pool, to go with the best buffet we had on the island. Smaller than some of the other resorts but it’s a great vibe, very chill, awesome staff, everything you need. Only complaint was they had an issue with wasps while we were there, though I’m sure it will be dealt with swiftly.

From when we arrived the staff were fantastic. Food tastes beautiful but lots of Curry which got repetitive after a while. Pools are not heated but soon felt warm when you've been in for a while. Spa facilities are great as I had a massage and facial. Had a birthday cake left in my room for my birthday which was a lovely surprise. The beach was great to watch the stunning Mauritian sunsets. Definitely would come back again. Please note the picture and video of the room was taken on check out. Room was clean when we arrived and minibar included on the all inclusive.
Kiril Stoimenov
The resort is located on the edge of a small village.The beach is quite long, but you can only enter the sea for about 20 meters, everything else is volcanic rocks.The sand is strewn with very sharp corals and is not comfortable for walking. The water is clear and warm.During the time we were there, there was only entertainment on two evenings, the rest of the evenings were karaoke, which I didn't like at all.The food and service left a lot to be desired, there wasn't enough variety.
Richie G
Lovely place to stay, most staff were lovely, a couple of staff let it down (didn't smile). Complex was lovely, food was good, cleaning staff were amazing. Gardens were colourful. Room was a little dated and the bathroom needed some tlc.
You must have lunch at the burger bar. Overall 8 out 10. 👌
Thank you for having us.
Kaitlyn Stevens
Breakfast is the same everyday with not much choice and the same food are used repeatedly. Receptionists aren’t friendly. Rooms are not cleaned well. Cups and cutlery inside rooms are only rinsed inside the rooms bathroom sink. Surfaces are not wiped during your stay here in the rooms. The porch outside the rooms are not swept at all. We had to ask for new water everyday and towels in the bathrooms as they did not put fresh ones in everyday. Service are not great. Waited 3 hours for new towels in the room. Bartender did not want to help us. He was busy chatting to his friends while we waited for him to place our order for drinks and only for him to tell us that he doesn’t know what that drink is on their menu, the first time we ordered this drink was at their bar from their menu for 2 weeks and all of a sudden he did not know what is was. He had a bad attitude.
Dinner was good and the view is great.
Hanro Breytenbach
Rooms:
The rooms were decent but could benefit from proper maintenance and more attention to detail.
Food:
The food was decent, although a bit repetitive—especially at breakfast.
Service (Dining):
The service during meals was poor—unorganised and with plenty of room for improvement.
Housekeeping:
The service from the cleaners in the rooms was decent.
Reception:
Service at reception was inconsistent—questionable at times and just okay at others. Staff weren’t particularly welcoming or friendly.
Spa:
The spa has a lot of potential and isn’t bad, but it clearly needs more active involvement from management. I booked a jacuzzi and found it cold, and it was very difficult to arrange as there was no one at the spa reception.
Staff & Hospitality:
More effort from the main staff to improve overall hospitality could really change the resort’s dynamic. The resort is well situated if you want to explore more of the local culture.
Summary:
The resort needs serious reform to maintain its 4-star status. However, it has immense potential to become a standout 5-star destination if effort is put into staff development at ground level and there is more humility and attentiveness from management. Small details and better structure—including more entertainment—could make a big difference.

Exceptional Experience at Veranda Aux Biches Hotel
"We recently had the pleasure of staying at Veranda Aux Biches Hotel, and I must say, it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every need.
The management team's dedication to excellence was evident in every aspect of the resort. They ensured that every detail was taken care of, and their passion for providing an exceptional guest experience shone through. Their leadership and vision have created a truly special place.
Highlights of My Stay included but not limited to:
- *Impeccable Rooms*: Clean, comfortable, and beautifully appointed.
- *Delicious Dining*: The culinary team delivered outstanding meals, with exceptional service.
- *Stunning Amenities*: The resort's facilities, including the pool and spa, were top-notch.
If you are not travelling with kids, rather book the privileged side of the resort as we found the food at the restaurant to be better and the quietness/privacy added to a comfortable stay.
We highly recommend Veranda Aux Biches to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable but private getaway. The management team's commitment to excellence has created a truly exceptional resort experience. I'll be back! 🌴👍

A quiet location. There wasn't much around us to do in the evening but we were happy to stay at the hotel bar and head to bed a bit early. It certainly made us relaxed. The staff are welcoming with attentive teams who are always on hand. There is a lovely pool and the beach has the most fantastic sunsets. You should visit. Thank you Pointe aux Biches for a wonderful time.

An amazing relaxing place. Luxury in a bohemian vibe. The staff are wonderful the food is lovely and fresh the fish was gorgeous. If you want chips and nuggets it’s not for you embrace and try the freshly cooked foods. The room was lovely and clean and had everything you needed and the whole place had a lovely relaxed vibe. Direct on the beach with volcano rock warm sea and soft sand so beautiful and natural. The massages in the spa was also really good and professional and relaxing.
I would love to go and stay here again

Food was much better here than in the other Veranda Hotel we stayed. The negative side would be their bed. A bit hard for us. It is nice there is Max shop across the street. Our room was 5008 which is the closest room to the beach. Inside the room, it has another room for kids. Loved their beach because there was no need for me to wear my bathing shoes. Hence a perfect 10. We had half board. Relaxing vacation

Staff are amazing, buffet caters for all tastes with a good variety. All inclusive drinks menu is good for a week's stay. Mattresses can be replaced and they seemed to take this feedback seriously. Don't come in July, South East wind is constantly blowing.

We stayed at Radisson Crystal Beach in Mau for five days, and overall, it was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The property has a peaceful vibe, and the direct beach access truly makes it special—it’s the perfect place to unwind by the sea.
The rooms were comfortable, but they did feel a bit dated. The furniture and decor seemed a little old-fashioned and could benefit from a refresh to match the rest of the property’s appeal. We also had an issue with the bathtub—while the tub bath was enjoyable, it caused water to leak onto the floor, which made things a bit messy. Some routine maintenance is definitely needed in that area.
One of the highlights for us was the hot pool—it was clean, well-maintained, and a great way to relax after a day of exploring. It added a lovely touch to our stay.
When it comes to food, the buffet had a good variety overall. Since we were on a half-board plan, we had dinner at the hotel most nights. I did find the vegetarian options a bit limited, especially after returning from a long excursion. Thankfully, there were always fresh salads, bread, and cheese available, which helped.
All things considered, this is a great place if you’re looking for a calm and scenic getaway. With a few improvements—particularly in room upgrades and vegetarian food options—it has the potential to be even better.

We booked as a family of six ( grandparents included) and we could not have asked for more. Beautifully located and beachfront, wonderful facilities and amazing and helpful staff all made our stay wonderful and memorable. Cleanliness was amazing and our rooms were beautifully cleaned each day. The food at all times was wonderful and we loved having afternoon tea on the beachfront with different Mauritian snacks also served each day. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and our children loved Aqua Land. Thank you to all the staff there really are too many to name. Also the taxi drivers that the hotel use were so helpful, informative and downright nice people. Thank you so very much for a lovely experience. My only (small) suggestion for improvement is the WiFi access which was resolved only when we raised it.
Soodevi Pudaruth
My Stay at Crystal Beach Resort was truly amazing. There is so much to say about the exceptional service, the friendly staff and the dedicated Management Team.
I would like to express my deepest thanks and appreciation to Mr Sam who is always such a wonderful and outstanding person. He truly understand how to deliver the best service to guests.In case of any issue, he is just a call away and handles every situation with professionalism and care.
A special thank also goes to Mr Samad, Mr Sanjay and Miss Megna from the Reservation Department. Despite their busy schedule, they consistently welcome us with warm smiles and provided exceptional hospitality.
Many thanks as well to Mr Deepak , Mr Sanjay from F&B Department, as well as the two Mr Nilesh and Miss Joana from the Bar Restaurant.They are all highly professional and clearly dedicated to keeping guests happy and satisfied.
Thank you to the entire team for making my experience at Crystal Beach Resort so memorable and as well for my children.
Jorma Kremser
We really loved our stay at the Crystal Beach Resort in Belle Mare! Went with the kids - and the accomodation, the kids club and activites at the beach were a blast - and on top of that, the swimminig pool with all those slides.
The staff is really friendly, especially Deepak - who seemingly manages every restaurant location at the same time with bravour - made an impact. And so did the cook - best fish we ever had ;)!
When facing an issue, you can really see that everyone is helping out and giving their best to make your stay as memorable as possible - and they sure did.
Also, the care & dedication given by the employees of the kids club was amazing. Our kids were so happy to play and participate in the activites offered. So big shoutout to Jia, Anastacia and Grace!
The general food was good - could be a bit more diverse and have more of a local touch, but overall we really liked our breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Just spent a fantastic day at the hotel with my family —my third visit, and it’s always been a great experience!
The staff welcomed us warmly. There were plenty of games and activities throughout the day. The boathouse team was very helpful, we enjoyed kayaking and pedalo. The aqua gym with Gregory and Kevin was a lot of fun. Kevin even surprised us with a Sega-style birthday song, which made the day extra special.
A big thank you to the whole team for another memorable day. We’ll definitely be back!

We have spend a great and marvelous moments at The Ravenala Attitude hotel. The food were delicious and the rooms were very clean , beautiful and spacious. We met the best barman whose name was Mr Yeshven Mooken who was very friendly, kind, polite to guests and the best barman i have ever met. The hotel service was excellent and our 3 days vacation were very well spend . We just had a small diffuculty as our rooms were a bit far away from the reception.
We had spend a wonderful and magical moments at hotel The Ravenala Attitude and the person we have appreciated the most is Mr Yeshven Mooken.
Thank you
Taysiir Goulamghoss
My team had a release celebration at Ravenala Attitude Hotel, and the service was truly impeccable. The staff were absolute professionals, showing great respect to everyone, especially to me, as someone who performs daily prayers. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs by providing towels to use as prayer mats (which are normally temporarily rented for Rs. 500) and even arranged a conference room for my Muslim colleagues and me to pray in. This hotel genuinely understands the meaning of multiculturalism.
Muslims, take note: there are no handheld bidet sprays in the toilets, so please make the necessary arrangements.
MS L
Overall a great stay. Beautiful hotel with lush gardens and ample pool area. Hotel was quite full but it never felt crowded. The beach is nice with soft sand. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great amenities and activities. No dive shop on site but a great one next door. Food was mostly great except at O restaurant which was a huge disappointment. One area they can improve is to have thicker towels in the bedrooms.
Georgie Barrow
Really loved our stay. The rooms were huge and very comfortable and facilities were perfect. The pools were maintained beautifully with the beach just a few steps away. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating - Yas who served us poolside was particularly great! He remembered our orders, was super friendly and all round delivered a great service. Thank you very much!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 120/100 - An unforgettable stay!
Long Beach Mauritius exceeded every expectation and then some! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, making us feel not just welcome, but truly cared for.
My girls absolutely loved it here, from the stunning views to the incredible spread of delicious food (they’re still talking about it!). Every meal felt like an experience, every corner of the resort felt like a dream. A special thanks to Chef Ritesh for his kind consideration of birthdays and anniversaries. God bless you, chef.
If you’re looking for a place where luxury meets warmth, where your kids are smiling and you can truly exhale… this is it. Long Beach gets a 120/100 from us. Worth every cent. We’ll be back in September. 💛🇲🇺
Monique Smith
From the moment we arrived at the lodge, it was clear we were in for a world-class experience. Tucked away in a breathtaking natural setting, this five-star retreat effortlessly blends luxury with nature, offering an unforgettable stay from start to finish.
The suite was immaculate—spacious, elegantly furnished, and designed with thoughtful attention to detail. From the plush bedding and the high-end finishes.
The staff were the highlight of the experience—warm, attentive, and discreet. From the welcome drink to the nightly turndown service, every interaction felt genuine and personalized. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless and special.
The culinary offerings were exceptional. Each meal was a celebration of international techniques, with options to cater to various dietary needs. Whether dining at any of the Restaurants or having lunch next to the pool.
Our Highlight Dinner was at Sapori. It was really exceptional.
Thanks Long Beach Resort
Wheelan Anastasia HUNG FOK KING
A heartfelt thank you to Morna for making our experience at Long Beach truly memorable, her warmth and hospitality made all the difference.
Since celebrating our wedding at Long Beach Hotel, returning there has become a cherished tradition. Last year, for our first anniversary, I was pregnant and pampered throughout our stay. This year, for our second anniversary, along with our baby, the Long Beach team once again made our experience stress-free and truly special.
As always, the staff were warm, friendly, and professional. We were given a lovely room close to the pool, which was perfect for us as new parents; easy access to both the pool and the restaurants made our stay even more comfortable.
The Kids Club staff were fantastic, taking the time to show us around and explain how they look after the little ones, which gave us great peace of mind.
A special mention goes to the baby food: it was perfect, prepared with care, taking allergens into consideration, aligned with our baby’s preferences, and always delivered on time as requested. That level of attention made a huge difference for us.
Overall, the food was enjoyable, but we felt it could be elevated with a wider variety particularly more seafood options, which one might expect at a five-star island resort. Additionally, the outdoor seating area at the Italian restaurant could benefit from some renovation to provide more space and enhance overall comfort.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and Long Beach continues to hold a special place in our hearts. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
Zakiyyah Doomun Khan
We just wrapped up a team-building event at Long Beach Hotel, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of.
The highlight for many of us was the amazing food. Every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. There was a great variety of options, and everything tasted incredible. You could really tell the kitchen team put a lot of thought and care into every dish.
Highly recommend this amazing hotel!
Natasha Heereelall
I took my family for dinner and we loved the place. The front desk staff was incredibly helpful when i needed directions.
Mrs Marie Noelle and her team was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was exceptional and the desserts were delicious. My kids really enjoyed it.

Best resort in mauritius, clean rooms, with nice and cooperative staff.
Its the best place if you have kids also , as they have big pool to kids with club that is big and with nice staff.
We were greeted by Jessica , and she is the best person in mauritius , she was very cooperative and helping all the time.
She upgraded our rooms to suite!!!
Upon checkout which is 12 pm , our flight was at 10 pm night , so she gave us the room for late night for free !!!
I would really advice to book shangri-La and i will come again for sure.
Andrew
We’re so glad we chose to stay at Shangri-La. The staff were incredibly attentive, helpful, and always ready to assist. I unexpectedly developed a food allergy during our stay, and the team made note of it in their system the very next day — such thoughtful and efficient service.
Kushi was our favorite restaurant, with Harry as the head chef — the set menu he specially curated for us was absolutely amazing.
There are plenty of excursion offered by the resort with Catamaran being our favourite as they have a live band on board with food provided. From snorkelling in sky blue waters to chasing dolphin, everything was amazing.
There is a private island as part of Shangri-La that are only accessible by guests which was great and wasn’t overcrowded.
Overall, a 10/10 experience curated by the staffs of Shangri-La Mauritius.
shruti bhunjun
This has been hands-down the best hospitality experience I ever had in Mru. From the beginning to the end, we were warmly welcomed and taken care of.
Thankful for Stacy for being such a wonderful host. It is so rare to see such wonderful service from someone. Kudos to her. Thanks to Preeti for coordinating my surprise proposal. Same goes for a wonderful surprise beachfront breakfast and dinner. Great service from the pool service team, esp. Pravesh who attended to our needs at the pool. The location was just perfect! Definitely going back!
Alex D
This place is absurd, truly another level of service.
Staff go above and beyond, the hotel is stunning, and there’s nothing that is ever missing.
The place feels empty despite being huge, never over crowded or noisy, just pure bliss.
Absolutely recommend for a honeymoon
Only improvement could be having a bit more of a vibe down at coco’s in the evenings, sometimes felt a bit quiet compared to the potential of the beautiful bar
Shankaren M
I booked a weekend over at Shangrilla Tousserok to propose to my fiancé on the beach. At the hotel, we were warmly welcomed by the team at the reception. Shout-out to Stacy and the reception team who were amazing at coordinating our stay and always ensuring that we were ok on each day, with a wonderful smile and dose of positivity to make us enjoy the hotel experience. She also arranged for a little present for us on the day I proposed to my fiancé, big thank you to her! Also I would like to mention Mrs. Prithee from the Events Team at the hotel for coordinating the proposal event with me for over a month before our check-in. Everything went as planned thanks to Mrs. Prithee's help. Also we would like to thank Mr. Raj and Mr. Vishant who served and organized the Dinner table in front of the beach and who had many years of service at the hotel.
The hotel also has a Whatsapp Service to facilitate communication with reception, without the need to call or head there physically. This service is very ingenious and help smooth our stay at the hotel, knowing that you could just send a message and things would be taken care of, from the rapid response of the team through Whatsapp.
It is very rare for my fiancé and I to have a stay with no issues at all, this experience is by far our best hotel experience across the whole of Mauritius. We were also gifted with an upgrade to a superior room with a beautiful view over the beach. The hotel is very peaceful, away from all the noise and honestly these are vital ingredients for a relaxful stay. We shall come visit again very soon to relieve this amazing experience.
Thank you to all the hotel staff for making our proposal and hotel experience a memorable one that we shall cherish forever, together with my fiancé! Keep it up!

Reena Prince
We had the pleasure of spending a luxurious and unforgettable 3-night family getaway at Anantara Iko Resort & Villas, and it was everything we hoped for—and more.
We arrived around 4 PM and were warmly welcomed by Prashanth, whose hospitality and professionalism set the tone for the rest of our stay. To our delight, we were greeted right at our villa with refreshing welcome drinks and light snacks, a thoughtful gesture that instantly made us feel at home. While Prashanth handled the check-in formalities seamlessly, we began exploring the stunning property nestled along the beautiful Blue Bay coastline.
He took the time to walk us through the key spots across the resort—from the pristine beach and serene pools to the array of restaurants offering different cuisines. Every detail of the property felt carefully curated, and the lush landscaping made our strolls a visual treat.
*What we absolutely loved:*
The villa: Spacious, private, and elegantly designed with its own pool and every amenity we could ask for. It truly felt like a luxurious extension of our home.
The location: A beautifully maintained, tranquil property just 10 minutes from the airport.
The beach experience: Clean, scenic, and peaceful. We especially enjoyed the picturesque beach swing—it became a family favorite for sunset photos.
Exceptional service: Prashanth and Ashley were consistently responsive on the internal WhatsApp group and ensured every need was taken care of quickly and warmly.
Dining: The buffet breakfast and dinner at Horizon had an excellent spread, with consistently delicious food. A special mention to Sea.Fire.Salt for their mouthwatering sushi, pineapple fried rice, and the fish fillet with lemon butter sauce—absolutely divine!
Thoughtful touches: From the convenient buggy rides to the handy umbrellas in the villa, every small detail was designed with guest comfort in mind.
The pools: Calm, scenic, and overlooking the ocean—a perfect spot to unwind.
The staff: Always attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their commitment to guest satisfaction was evident at every step.
*Room for improvement:*
During peak hours at the Horizon restaurant, it would help if staff were assigned to specific sections to ensure smoother service and more personalized attention. We occasionally experienced short waits, but nothing that took away from the overall experience.
All in all, our stay at Anantara Iko was everything a family holiday should be—peaceful, pampering, and filled with beautiful memories. My children usually start missing home after three nights, but this time was different—they didn’t want to leave! That, to me, speaks volumes.
A heartfelt thank you to Team SSR Holidays for recommending this gem. It truly exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend the villas at Anantara Iko for anyone looking for an indulgent yet homely family escape.
Eman Ibrahim
I am currently staying at this hotel until June 9, and unfortunately, my experience so far has not been very pleasant. The air conditioning in my room is not working properly, making it quite uncomfortable, especially during the warmer parts of the day. Additionally, there have been several power outages throughout the day, which is very inconvenient. Housekeeping service has also been below expectations — the room is not cleaned properly or consistently.
I hope the hotel management can address these issues promptly, as I still have a few days left in my stay. Improving these services would make a big difference.
Thank You for Your Help
Dear Mr. Ahmed,
I would like to express my sincere thanks for your help in solving the issue I faced during my stay at the hotel. I truly appreciate your quick response and professional attitude.
Thanks to your support, my experience here has greatly improved, and I now feel much more comfortable.
Thank you once again for your excellent service.
Subramaniam Raghu
The staff friendliness felt very limited towards local residents —unless you were a foreigner, at least that was our impression. This affected the overall warmth of the experience. The stay didn’t quite meet 5-star standards: the rooms were not very clean, and some equipment was faulty, suggesting the place is overdue for renovation.
There was a lack of activities, and while the food was okay, the presence of many flies—possibly due to the beach proximity—was a downside. On the positive side, the scenic setting and landscaped surroundings were truly excellent. The gym, sports facilities, and pool areas were good, though the main pool’s filtration system seemed weak.
Despite the shortcomings, the natural beauty and peaceful setting still made the stay enjoyable.
simon cable
We had the best time. Hotel staff are super friendly and very attentive. Food was great. Few different restaurants to choose from. Saffron was our favourite which was typical Indian cuisine. Different pools to lounge at, location was right on the beach and waters and beach was so clean and everything felt luxury. Highly recommend
Alexandra Nicolae
We stayed 5 nights at this resort. Unfortunately, the comments about cleanliness are true. The rooms are very old. The terrace door barely closes, and the lock didn’t even work, so our room could have been accessed by anyone at any time. It always took extremely long to get anything delivered to our room. We were repeatedly disturbed late at night by housekeeping asking if we needed anything, and even opening the door without us requesting service.
At breakfast on the first day we were interrupted 10 times with questions, and every day it was extremely noisy. If you don’t explicitly ask, they won’t change the bed sheets or restock the vanity kit and other essentials.
It’s true there were many dogs around, which isn’t ideal considering there are children—I myself as an adult felt scared to walk alone. The breakfast food was okay but always the same and not the best quality. At the pool, the cocktails were disappointing: every day they came in different glasses, sizes, and tasted like juice.
The pools were okay, but the drainage system was weak. The gardens and pools were clean, but you can’t really enjoy the beach. Overall, it doesn’t really live up to a luxury or 5-star standard.
Plus: near by the airport, but very noisy.

This is by far the most amazing resort I have ever stayed in. Beautiful boat houses to stay in. Free water activities like paddle boards, pedal boats, life jackets, sail boats and wind surfers. So many amenities for all ages. Beautiful pools ...and the beach is a lagoon and just gorgeous to swim in. The buffets were incredible ..with so much variety and themed dinner nights. Incredible breakfasts. The staff are the most happy and helpful lovely people. Just a 10 minute walk to local shops and supermarket. Cannot fault this incredible place. Love from the Kiwi girls from New Zealand
Antonio
We would like to briefly describe our impressions of the Hotel La Pirogue. We are currently in our second week of vacation in Mauritius. We have been at the Hotel La Pirogue for 5 days. It is a wonderful hotel, in the middle of a huge palm grove, a stunning garden area and a beautiful long sandy beach.
Most importantly there are wonderful and warm-hearted people who anticipate every of our wishes. From housekeeping to the service staff, the chefs and the management and GM (Mr. Clency Romeo), everyone is absolutely dedicated and very guest-oriented.
In our opinion, the prices are perfectly reasonable.
Additionally we really love the food at the different restaurants. We especially appreciate the freshness, the quality and the variety of dishes.
We have already been to many countries on different continents and will definitely be back at the La Pirogue.
Thank you very much for the exceptional hospitality and the time we have been able to spend here.
Best regards,
Claudia and Antonio
Irina Lange
We have the most amazing stay at this beautiful hotel – it’s not just a place to relax, but a place full of energy, joy, and unforgettable experiences. From the very first moment, we felt incredibly welcomed. The entire team is warm, friendly, and genuinely cares about every guest.
One of the highlights for me was the wide range of activities offered – tennis, padel, SUP boarding, kayaking, and so much more. There’s always something to do, whether you’re looking for adventure or a peaceful moment on the water.
But the best surprise? The Latin dance class with Stellio! As someone who hadn’t danced in a long time, this was a very special moment for me. Refreshing my skills in such a joyful atmosphere was an incredible experience. Stellio is a fantastic dance teacher – kind, encouraging, and full of positive energy. He makes everyone feel comfortable, no matter the age or experience level.
This class became my personal highlight of the trip – and I truly hope there’ll be even more Latin dancing in Mauritius in the future!
Thank you for an unforgettable stay – we’ll be back!
Emily Quinn
The most stunning resort ever, we had a fantastic time here celebrating our honeymoon. The location, beach and pool area are perfect. We felt so relaxed and looked after for our entire trip. The major highlight was the service, it is exceptional! Every single bar and restaurant offers unbelievable service and nothing is too much trouble. Our favourite bar was Medine - super friendly and personable staff ❤️ they practically had our drinks order ready before we sat down! Also, the reception staff were super helpful and kind with arranging excursions and anything else we needed! Managed to visit all restaurants at least once, would have liked to visit Magenta again but struggled to get in. Food was great, we loved ordering our breakfast to the room most days, it was so special. Would highly recommend visiting Ile Aux Cerfs hotel too for the golf and beach, a beautiful place. Thank you so much for an incredible holiday that we will never forget. We hope to come back one day ✨
Pietro Grasso
I am quite surprised by the many positive reviews of La Pirogue Resort, as my personal experience did not match the expectations of a 4-star hotel. Here are the main reasons for my disappointment:
Negative points:
1) Beach service: Towels are only available after 8:30 AM, even though the sun rises at 6 AM — this makes no sense for early beachgoers. Overall limited shade: Very few umbrellas and the sunbeds are uncomfortable.
2) Dining issues: The resort claims to have 7 restaurants, but most of them require reservations. It’s nearly impossible to book any restaurant via the app. I was able to find a spot just for 1 dinner and the restaurant was half empty… the only free-reservation option is the buffet dinner, that is repetitive and lacks variety. Very few options available for vegans.
3) Hygiene concerns: The resort is full of stray cats being fed by guests — this is unhygienic and unprofessional for a resort of this category.
Positive points:
1) Breakfast: Tasty and with a decent variety.
2) Beach: Very wide and spacious, ideal for walks and relaxing.
3) Pool: Beautiful pool located right by the sea.
In summary: Despite some nice features, the resort does not live up to its 4-star rating and for the actual price we paid, and I do not recommend it.

Picturesque setting with mountains all around, the temperature drops in the evenings making it very pleasant. Morning yoga was amazing and we really enjoyed the relaxing spa, masseuses were very well trained.
You can 🤿 snorkel at the hotel beach as there is great amount of coral to spot. Water is really shallow & clear. They have many pools with temperature controlled water.
Our complain is a bit with the food they really need to improve on the food part. Menu is limited and their Indian chef has to improve his cooking.
But Shanti Maurice is definitely value for money.

5 stars – Amazing stay at Shanti Maurice!
A very beautiful and stylish resort. The rooms are spacious and well-designed — we especially loved the ground floor suites with direct beach access. Waking up to that ocean view right from the bed was unforgettable!
The spa area is top-notch, the kids club is fun and well-organized, and the food throughout our stay was delicious. The staff were always friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome.
Compared to other 5-star hotels we’ve visited, Shanti Maurice stands out for its perfect balance of quality and price — amazing value for what you get.
Minor downside: the beach isn’t ideal for swimming, with a small designated area and rocks exposed at low tide. But the scenery is still absolutely gorgeous, especially for photos.
Highly recommended!

The resort is beautiful, the service impeccable, the people very professional. The breakfast choices are amazing, all ingredients fresh, cooked meals, everything at the highest level. Jeannine from the kitchen made eggs to perfection (running) and cooked other dishes masterfully. I want to thank her because cooking masterfully like she does is an art you do not experience often

We had the very best time here
Upon arrival we thought that the hotel is ageing a bit, but already after the first day it really grew on us
1. The service is exceptional!
2. The breakfast is one of the best we had so far, exceptional
3. The hotel is placed on a 16 hectare area - huuuge space for max 140 guests = very luxurious
4. The kids club is exceptional. Travelling with our 1y old daughter it was so relaxing to leave her with the extremely kind ladies
the hotel will also be renovated until 2027
