Scenic Hotels in Mauritius

"A very cozy, interestingly decorated hotel on a quiet beach without crowds of people. We were afraid of the winds on the east coast, but it's not that bad, the pool saves. Breakfasts without a buffet, with a beautiful presentation, enough variety for a week. The bed and pillows are wonderful. Natural toiletries. I was pleasantly surprised by the availability of sun cream by the pool. Free water activities (kayak, snorkeling, etc.) are offered. In general, if you do not need to go to the sights, we recommend it."

"This hotel is awesome, full of facilities, warm and thoughtful service, and offers a lot of free entertainment, it's fun! The restaurant has a variety of diets and tastes that are very suitable for Chinese people. Hope to come to this hotel next time I come to Mauritius!"

"It's more like an old money style hotel. The hotel environment is good, but the facilities in the room are a little old. The power outage was short for 30 seconds twice during the two days of stay. There are three swimming pools. The hotel is large and it takes a long time to get back to the room. Personally, I prefer a more convenient and closer one."

"A dream stay in an absolutely tasteful facility. Excellent service with genuine warmth. Outstanding breakfast buffet. Reasonable price/performance ratio."

"The hotel is expensive for a reason. The facilities are complete and you can basically enjoy them without leaving the hotel. There is golf but I didn't experience it, and I didn't want to spend money on the spa. Except that the Chinese restaurant was a bit shabby, everything else was perfect. I only stayed for three days and didn't have the barbecue buffet, which was a bit regrettable, but everything else was really perfect. The swimming pool is heated and free water and ice packs are really considerate. The service staff are very nice. It is a hotel worth staying in. Recommended"

"Anantara is a very beautiful resort. Decor is top notch and comfortable. The staff provides excellent service and assistance is always available. The resort is a beach front property with a lot of activities. This property is amazing and you won’t go wrong by choosing it. Yusef , Cintia, Karim, Sharonne, Paul, and many more of the staff ( I’m bad with names) , will attend to all your needs."

"We really liked the hotel: comfortable, cozy, quiet at night, first line, private clean beach with a beautiful view, which was cleaned every morning especially for the comfort of guests. The only thing to consider is that you definitely need to rent a car here, because taxis are expensive and take a long time to wait. But we rented a car, so everything was great. I played golf on the local course, and my wife and I also went to the spa, where Kevina and Sweta gave us a very good massage. There are a lot of small lizards on the territory, but this is a typical story for Mauritius, there are a number of insects that the staff actively fights, and at breakfast you can be bothered by rather impudent sparrows. But the hotel was so good that we did not pay attention to these little things. In general, the hotel is top. I recommend it. Despite the four stars in the hotel rating, it is much higher than many five-star Turkish hotels."

"The bathroom leaks! The balcony of the room leads directly to the beach. The beach, swimming pool, bar and restaurant are all very nice. Water sports such as paddle board, rowing, surfing are free, but you need to pay to go out on a boat to chase dolphins. The breakfast is rich."

"Overall, it is a standard 5-star hotel, but the facilities are a bit old. The main problem is the air conditioning. The temperature control is very poor, either it is very cold or it has to be turned off; the location of the air outlet causes the cool wind to blow right on the head, which is simply fatal to sleep all night. For Chinese people, this makes people very uncomfortable. There are no other problems."

"Rats in restaurant On arrival the hotel is really beautiful - a small oasis tucked away with gorgeous colonial style. The reception staff were really lovely and made us feel welcome. The room was really nice - but there were a few things we noticed (which we let slide at the start) - massive dirty lipstick mark on one of our water glasses, filthy lampshades above the bathroom sinks, bed linen that didn’t feel particularly fresh and the robes as well had a slight greyish colour rather than bright white which they were meant to be. These were all minor things at the start which we didn’t even mention to each other but did notice. We then had our first night at the cocktail bar where our drink was served by the lovely barman (very polite and smily) - as we were drinking we saw a huge rat run across the terrace - we decided it was an island and maybe this is normal (although we really weren’t happy about it). We then were dining within the restaurant and again a huge rat was running towards the table. For us, this is not ok. We asked to move tables as we saw a rat and the waiters barely acknowledged it - didn’t offer any apology and then proceeded to avoid our table for the rest of the night. We informed the manager the next day who assured us he was aware and the rat had been caught, and to “give it a chance”. We weren’t offered so much as a complimentary drink. After dining in the restaurant again the second night and again seeing a rat - for us it was time to check out. Not only is it unpleasant seeing rodents running around while eating but I would say it’s a hygiene issue and makes me question the cleanliness of the kitchen and the safety of the food. The only concession we were offered was to not pay for the remaining nights that we would not be staying for. Really disappointing. On hindsight some things we would add about the whole experience: - Not a 5 star in terms of food, service or cleanliness - Staff really hit and miss - some very friendly some really rude and unhelpful - Rooms didn’t feel clean - Food was average - nothing felt fresh including breakfast - Quite stingey with water - water not replaced within our room (had to ask for it) We are now staying at a different hotel and haven’t seen one rat, so don’t think this is “just an island thing” as the manager stated. The service and food are also worlds apart which has really solidified that our review of 20 degres sud as completely justified - not a 5 star experience whatsoever."
