Very beautiful hotel & resort. We loved every minute of our stay. Special shout out to Laxman. He was an excellent host to the family whilst we were staying at the resort. He was very welcoming and professional at all times. He catered for our every need with a big smile on his face. He went above and beyond in ensuring we were comfortable and mad sure we had everything we needed. He kept our room clean at all times, thank you very much.

This isn't our first time at Intercontinental Resort Mauritius.
We celebrated our son's birthday recently at the resort. As usual, we had a very warm welcome.
Hospitality was great. Service was excellent. Staffs go out of their way to make your stay a memorable one.
They can always be seen smiling. Their attentiveness to details is truly commendable.
We really recommend this hôtel to everyone.

We are a family of four, who have traveled around the world. The hotel facilities are good. Beachfront is beautiful but given that we are in Mauritius it’s not too difficult. The hotel organises nice shows and good live bands. The swimming pools are not bad although they should provide some pools with shade. Now, the service, of course we can’t compare this to the service in Thailand or China but the service here is beyond bad. The staff are not qualified in my opinion. You can ask something 3 times they still will not bring it. The cleanliness is also very questionable. My socks have never seen so black walking in a hotel room. The grand hall is beautiful although it lacks green and carpets it’s too cold.
This hotel could have great potential to be amazing but it needs work.

Hotel installations are incredible and really confortável. However the staff training and cleaning of the property needs to be seriously improved to be at the standard of an European 5 stars.
1. Our privacy was completely violated in one occasion when my husband and I were taking a bath at 16:30 afternoon. They knocked at the door and we didn’t answer as we were in the bathtub. They insisted, my husband comes out and before he could see the hotel staff was INSIDE the room. They had already cleaned the room, we didn’t ordered anything. When asked she said “I just wanted to verify if you need room service”. It was absolutely creepy.
2. The cleaning of the room is a joke aside. Bathtub is clearly not properly cleaned, the toilette after 4 days was smelling and they were so evidently not being cleaned. In several occasions they forgot to replace towels and in one occasion they placed water bottles outside our door on the floor instead of inside the room. A scandalous treatment for a 5 starts.
3. The restaurants are very poorly adapted to the European taste with super spicy dishes and no warning. I’m pregnant and specifically sensitive to spicy food. I put that on my file when I was doing the check in and I was ignored everywhere. I don’t know why they asked for food restrictions if they don’t give any attention to it.

Beautiful hotel, gorgeous setting.
Breakfast was brilliant, the eggs counter was amazing, you could order any type of eggs cooked to perfection and the Indian counter was delicious, they would cook fresh Indian breakfast for you.
The evening Buffett was great and we really enjoyed the 3 x restaurants on site, the Asian, Indian and Mediterranean, the Mediterranean Resturant service was great. All the staff at the hotel couldn’t help us enough, always ringing to see if we needed anything. Service was 5 star! We also used the spa which was great and very relaxing. If you are planning to explore the island you need to use a car, we hired a car from near the airport which was perfect . I feel sad some people are leaving bad reviews as the hotel and staff are of a high standard. We have just arrived home and the weather was brilliant, hardly any rain.
