The good:
This is a great resort. It perhaps the prettiest I have been to. Lots of mature palm trees and vegetation and great lighting at night. The rooms are beautiful and well laid out. The beach and surf look good especially with the sharp jagged mountains in the background. The staff are friendly. The cleaning service was the best we have ever seen - thank you Corrina - the care a pride you put into your word is commendable! Breakfast was amazing - so tasty and almost infinite options! The staff manning each booth were super happy and friendly. The gym and spa were great too. The staff were super flexible and understanding. They have a card system for towels which was great. There were lots of chairs / loungers available too.
The bad:
We found it pricey.
The location would be tricky without a car…we had one.
You can swim in the lagoon but not the beach due to coral…I think this is the same for the whole island. The breach was beautiful mind you.
The food other than breakfast was pricey and so so in my opinion - we didn’t get all inclusive. It could be justified if delicious but…
The coffee service in AM was a bit hit and miss for timing to sync with eating.
There really wasn’t much activity- less a reflection of the vast programming they have available and more the clientele. Not many people doing sports etc.
Over-all I would come back!

We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights and it was absolutely incredible. The service and hospitality at the hotel by all the staff members is fantastic. We felt so welcome and we were taken care of from the moment we arrived. A special thanks to Kevin who honestly made our stay stress free. He helped us with all our questions from excursions, rooms, restaurant booking etc and we were not let down. We were celebrating a few occasions on this trip and we were spoilt by all the staff and they honestly made it that extra bit special.
The food options here are great and they cater so well for everyone. I would 100% recommend this hotel!
Thanks again Kevin and everyone at the Intercontinental for making us feel so welcome and taking care of us.

Our recent stay at the Intercontinental Resort in Mauritius was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to an experience of luxury and comfort.
The resort itself is stunning, with beautiful views, beaches, and impeccably maintained grounds. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and offer breathtaking views of the ocean. Every detail, from the decor to the amenities, is thoughtfully designed to provide the utmost in relaxation and enjoyment.
One of the highlights of our stay was the outstanding service provided by the resort's staff. Kevin (head concierge) went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met. His professionalism, knowledge of the island, and willingness to assist with any request made our trip incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Whether it was arranging excursions, providing local insights, or simply making sure we were comfortable, Kevin's dedication to his role truly enhanced our experience.
Equally impressive was Robert (restaurant manager I think). His attention to detail and commitment to delivering an exceptional experience were evident in every meal we enjoyed. Robert's warmth and hospitality made us feel like cherished guests, and his passion for excellence was reflected in every aspect of the dining service.
The Intercontinental Resort in Mauritius is a gem, and the outstanding service provided by Kevin and Robert is a testament to the resort's commitment to excellence. We cannot recommend this resort highly enough and look forward to our next visit.

Absolutely loved our stay at Intercontinental hotel in one of their family rooms with a fantastic view of the ocean. This hotel really knows how to do luxury well. From the warm welcome at check in to efficient service at dinner times we really felt well catered for at Intercontinental. The staff were always so friendly and approachable going out of their way to help you - a shout out to Vishan who always had a smile! The beach bar during the day sometimes seemed understaffed.
The food options are diverse with plenty of tasty options every night and chefs who will happily cater to your needs. It’s rare to find such wonderful food options at a buffet every night. There is live entertainment in the evening too with different shows on every night.
The only downside to this hotel is their beachfront. The sea is rough making it difficult to partake in the water activities available at the boathouse. It’s not the best beach to swim in but other than that it is truly a memorable stay and I would fully recommend.
Zaid Mallick
InterContinental Resort Mauritius is ideally placed - close to everything but far away from the usual city noises.
Right from the start, the staff was so warm and welcoming, especially Mr. Kevin. They make you feel like family in the most professional way possible. Each and every person in the resort will greet you and always with a smile.
All the rooms are sea facing so there’s no missing out on that, they are well laid out and spacious with all the amenities.
The various food options are all excellent and a must try.
Would highly recommend anyone to book this hotel. Special thanks to all the staff, from the reception all the way to the room service, and especially Mr. Kevin for making my first anniversary extremely special!
Thanks to my travel agency OFF2SKY for suggesting this great hotel as well.
