It is one of the few 5-star hotels in the south of Mauritius, but unfortunately the overall level is lower than that of 5-star hotels in other areas.
First of all, the hotel is quite large, and the distance from each room to the effective service area is quite far. The hotel needs to send an electric car to transfer. This electric car is very psychedelic, sometimes very fast, sometimes very slow, and it is impossible to control the time reasonably.
The hotel's breakfast is also mediocre. It is probably more like an English breakfast, but the food is not very good, especially for Chinese stomachs. Overall, it is much lower than psychological expectations.
There was a power outage at night, and it took about half an hour to recover.
Friends who drive themselves can use it as a transition to the south, but it is not recommended as a long-term residence.
The best part of the hotel is the lagoon in front of the hotel - if you are into snorkelling. When the tide is high you can see a lot. But you should bring your own mask, snorket, fins, unless you are willing to pay 12 Euros per hour for a set. The property is sprawling. Lots of pleasant walking around. Two restaurants, with the By the Water one much better than Mercado (buffet). Book it for all night right away when you arrive. There are 180 rooms in the hotel and the By the Water restaurant takes about 50 (my guess) guests per night. This also means that there are long waits during dinner (easily 2-hour sessions). Rooms show their age but are still good. Keep light off in the evening; otherwise there will be mosquitos. Keep any food away from the room; otherwise you can have a visitor (a mouse). We were in a larger room with access to the Plantation where it is possible to have breakfast, snacks, and a semi-private pool. But this costs extra, and I am now not sure if it is worth it. There are some water activities, but they are limited either by the way the beach is (kayak) or how often they are run (snorklering and glass bottom boat trips). The pool is nice.
Overall, a very good stay for 4 nights. But check when you are going. We paid a lot because it was over the New Year. We had a breakfast/dinner package, and even with that, we had to pay an extra 80 euros per head for the New Year's dinner (not including wine). New Years activities were good: a live band, DJ, some dancing, and a fire-swallowing show, plus HUGE 5-minute-long fireworks over the ocean.
1. A resort with good overall value for money. It is relatively close to Dolphin Bay and the hotel beach is also very long. It is recommended to book an all-inclusive package as it is more cost-effective! Second stay
2. I’m not very used to eating. I basically eat steak and fruit every meal, but there are quite a lot of varieties for breakfast and buffet lunch and dinner. You need to make a reservation for dinner at PLAYA one day in advance. The amount of French food will be relatively small, and there are one or two staple foods that are not available. The number of French restaurants to choose from is relatively small.
3. The service speed in Africa is relatively slow. I had to ask for napkins two or three times to get them. Some lights were out of power and it took a long time to repair them. On the last night, the air conditioner was broken and I could only turn on the fan to blow my cold.
