Balaclava Holiday Packages

Nice hotel, good location only 15 minutes walk to Blue Bay - this can be walked along the road or along the beach. Although the beach at the hotel is small, you can walk for several km along the beach in either direction (as all beach in Mauritius is public), just requires a mix of walking on sand, in the sea, and scrambling over rocks! Free kayaks a big bonus. Staff are excellent and very friendly. Meals overly expensive - better to walk to nearby restaurants to eat at about 1/3 of the price, of which there are two or three within 15 mins. Wifi is free but was non-existent for about half of my stay. There is parking and a car would be useful if you want to explore more than the immediate surrounds. Easterly prevailing winds in winter can mean beach is rather cold and there is not much to do nearby.

Absolutely perfection, all staff are extremely professional and friendly. Everything 10 out of 10

All inclusive included buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food was nice and a selection of local drinks. It also included water sports in the marine park and use of most hotel facilities. We paid extra for some spa treatments. This hotel is advertised as 5 star and maybe when it was first built it may have been, however it is in need of some maintenance. Our room had the phone cable sticking out the wall and the shower screen door was not the original, meaning the bathroom got soaked. There were also no complimentary toiletries. I would class this as 3 star at best.
