Recouping break after long flight
We loved the hotel’s position right on the beach. The staff were very friendly. But could be better with just a few tweaks, like some chairs need cushions on. Less time waiting for orders to be taken and food did take a while sometimes. Rooms were good but being an older couple the stairs were an issue for us as there is no lift. We would stay again if we come back here to see our son as it was a nice break to recuperate after a long flight.

Disappointed
Les appréciations sont faites en rapport au prix payé pour la prestation, franchement cher payé. À ce niveau de prix les prestations dans d’autres hôtels sont meilleures , vraiment! L’accueil n’est pas chaleureux , les 2 nuits réveillés de 4 à 7h par les chiens ( bon ça c’est Maurice en général mais bon là vraiment bcp) La nourriture n’est pas exceptionnelle. Désolé mais je suis franc et j’espère cela servira aux clients hôtel.com et aussi amélioration pour le patron.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very pleasant, but perhaps overpriced
Rooms are pleasant with simple, clean design in muted colours. Bed and pillows are comfortable. I took a standard room and was given room 12-- I think it may be the smallest and least inspiring in the hotel with no view at all. I think/hope other rooms with balconies might have been better. The "beach" is very small. People were laying on sun beds but no one seemed to be swimming. This area seems to be mostly for boat tethering/launching. The pool was also quite small. The casual restaurant is very pleasant, with a view right on the water Nice non-alcoholic drinks (not all sweet) and a fun tapas menu. Guests can easily walk to the main road which has restaurants and some shops within one or two km. I highly recommend nearby Bistrot de la Poste restaurant--- one of the best meals I had in Mauritius. Overall, I enjoyed this hotel. It's not really a beach hotel, more of an urban hotel on the water's edge, but after days at secluded resorts, I liked having an adjacent neighbourhood to explore. However, I do feel my stay was not worth the over 200 USD I paid. As mentioned above, my room had no view. Amenities in the room were very basic: no face cloth/towel, no lotion, no beauty kit with cotton pads etc. And the vibe killer for me was the fact that they charge $20 (90 rupees) for each cup of coffee that guests make FOR THEMSELVES in their room. It's not about the money, but it's in bad taste to charge for such a thing when the guest has paid so much for the room.

Séjour de 10 nuits en juillet. Chambre propre, spacieuse et calme. Piscine très belle, plage avec transats et parasols très agréable, couchers de soleil magnifiques. Le personnel est très sympathique et serviable, Emilie nous a très bien conseillés sur des activités et lieux à visiter. Les petits déjeuners sont copieux et de qualité. Un super séjour !

Leider war das Personal sehr unfreundlich. Am Ende des Aufenthaltes sollten wir einen Betrag für einen gemieteten Scooter bezahlen, welcher vorher nicht vereinbart war. Auch im Restaurant lauern versteckte Kosten, die einem erst am Ende des Aufenthalts präsentiert wurden. Ich kann das Hotel leider nicht weiter empfehlen.
