Great location and property

Very enjoyable stay. The location is great, on the beach with easy water access, as well as the pool. Restaurants and grocery shops in walking distance. The unit is well positioned in the block, with great facilities. We will be back!

Beautifully designed and positioned apartment

Posted 28 Oct. 2023 on HomeAway
We were a family of four (with a 2 year old and 5 month old) staying for a week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Esplanade. Incredible views of sunset from indoors; a beautiful lagoon, we swam out c. 200m and were still only elbow deep; great location, we bought fresh fish from fishmonger, less than five minutes walk away, and cooked on the Weber gas bbq overlooking the beach in the evenings. There is a lovely coffee shop ( Kuumba Coffee Black River) and bakery (La Kaz A Pain) a short walk away for breakfast / brunch. Mosquitos and pests, as with anywhere on the island's coast, are a problem but is managed efficiently and effectively by Jean Claude who was easily reached throughout our stay. Would highly recommend staying here and would love to stay again when the kids are older.

Vacation

Posted 27 Feb. 2020 on HomeAway
We had a week at this beautiful property. it is on the ground level and has a great view of the sunset. it has all the amenities for an extended stay. the decking around the pool could be fixed up. screws were missing and some boards were uneven. could pose a hazard for any kids playing around the pool. no issues other than that. definately recommend staying here. if we ever come back to Mauritius, this accommodation will be the first place we look up!!

Paradise!

Posted 3 Oct. 2019 on HomeAway
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of visiting Mauritius during the last week of September this year (2019). Staying at Jean-Claude’s apartment in La Preneuse contributed significantly to holiday perfection. The apartment is much bigger and better as perceived by looking at the photos. All modern appliances, very clean, and it has everything required to cater for every need you might have. Complete and luxurious comfort in a very peaceful and stunningly beautiful environment. The location just abducts you away to a world that is in total harmony with nature. Having coffee on the patio staring at the stunning turquoise water right in front of you, makes you feel like you are truly in paradise. Right next to the apartment is a few large wild fig trees that becomes alive with the sound of what seems like thousands of small birds for about an hour or so. Such a treat. This location allows for hours of beach walking. It is conveniently situated close to a petrol station, Food lovers market, lots of good restaurants, a large supermarket 2 minutes drive away. The area is upmarket and felt totally secure (I even left the sliding door open a few times when I left the apartment). It is also a fantastic location for daily excursions as it is close enough to both Le Morne’s beaches for amazing snorkeling to the south and the very very popular Flic en Flac beach to the north. Also close by is the must see Black River Gorges National Park (via the exhilarating Champagne road) and the Chamarel Waterfall / Seven Coloured Earth. I feel that the West coast is the place to stay in Mauritius because of this. I would like to thank Jean-Claude and Pratima for their genuine hospitality. They took great care in making me feel welcome and looked after. Jean-Claude called me before I departed from South Africa to make sure that my late Sunday night arrival went smoothly. It was always pleasant to talk to the ‘Encyclopedia of Mauritius’ , lol! I highly recommend staying here. You will not want to leave paradise!

Relaxing Family Holiday

Posted 28 Aug. 2019 on HomeAway
The property was excellent and provided a fantastic base for a relaxing family holiday in Mauritius. It was very comfortable with all the facilities we needed. Our two boys (10 & 11) loved playing in the pool and snorkelling in the sea which was shallow enough to be really safe for around 100m offshore. There are great local convenience shops and places to eat within a few minutes walk and plenty of sea based activities in nearby Tamarin and Black River. For more adventurous in land activities there are plenty of excursions within 30 mins drive including the Black River National Park, Chamarel and Casela nature park. Overall, we would highly recommend the property for anyone looking for a quiet, self catering holiday in Mauritius with lots of activity options close by,

Really nice location just on the beach and still private

Posted 20 Feb. 2019 on HomeAway
We had a wonderful vacation. Great location with the beautiful Black River national park and the mountains to protect from the eastern wind and rain. 300 meters direct snorkeling to the coral reef and wonderful fresh fish (marlin and tuna) at the shop 100 meter away perfect for the barbecue with a squeeze of lime. Bakery is 200 meter away and supermarkets also within walking distance. The apartment is really nice. Large and well disposed. Best location in the complex of 12 apartments with a private terasse and great views of the Indian Ocean.

Great two weeks

Posted 19 Dec. 2017 on HomeAway
We were two couples staying for 2 weeks in late November 2017. We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was perfect for us, with excellent room facilities and good beach. This apartment is very well located at Esplanade, might be the best location in the whole Esplanade property. We were swimming in the sea each morning, and in the pool each night before going to bed. The location was good, excellent restaurant Moustache in just a few minutes walking distance. Still mainly we made our own meals, buying fresh fish etc. for it. Weber barbeque belonging to apartment was very usefull. We had a rented car, so we could move around the island, playing golf at several golf courses. The traffic in Mauritius is not nice, lots of traffic jams and dangerous driving, and on the wrong side of the road. Everything went well anyway. Another disadvantage are mosquitoes. They are not any major problem if you just use protective repellent in the evenings from the first day. Mosquitoes, however, are not a fault of this apartment, they are present all over the island. If I had to decide once again, where to stay at Mauritius, I would definitely choose this place. Thank you for our host Jean Claude. You were very nice and helpfull. Thank you also for Pratima for taking so good care of housekeeping.
