    It's a very basic hotel right on a small beach. Few lounge chairs and beach towels are available. Breakfast had very limited options, great coffee. Rooms are large, but it would be nice to have night stands to put some items beside the bed. Bed firm and comfortable. Stuff was friendly. Sufficient place for a short stay, but not a great value for money. It is not a resort.

    Clearly the staff and the way they organize their duties. Everyone seemed chaotic, nobody was smiling (except for the restaurant staff during dinner times and the cleaning lady), reception staff always grumpy. The TV in the room was only for furniture - there was no cable 😅 Breakfast is VERY slow and at times I felt I was bothering them by being there. They wouldn’t ask me which breakfast I want (there were 3 options) but randomly bringing bread, butter and some viennoiserie, coffee and honestly I thought that was breakfast, only for the lady to come 20mins later to ask me what I want to eat. Again, no smile, no sign of happy interaction. The staff really needs to be better trained. At times also when going to the bar to buy drinks you’d meet the same slightly hostile attitude that you’re disturbing them. At checkout (which is clearly stated at 11AM) we were asked by the receptionist to wait ‘5 minutes’. The place was empty, no queue. Just the receptionist and the manager. No explanation whatsoever. We waited. It turned into 25minutes with no explanation and we got up to ask because we had a taxi coming at 11:30 and it was 11:25 and we weren’t yet checked out. Price wise quite high for the quality of services, dinner was 1450 rupees (30€) per person no drinks included and they are charging 120 rupees (2.5 euros) per LITER of water in an area where there is no grocery store nearby. You shouldn’t really try to make such huge profits on BASIC needs like drinkable water. Lastly, there were not enough sunbeads and umbrellas. In a resort where only residents are allowed you should ALWAYS have enough sunbeds for all residents and provide SHADE. Quite a long list of dislikes.

    The view and the beach is astonishing. It is a great spot for snorkeling and the garden is very nice and well kept. The rooms are big, decent (nothing fancy) but comfortable, big beds (only 2 small pillows though for a 200cm bed which i didn’t like). I really appreciated the restaurant staff (Xavier and his colleague) we had when we had dinner (which was delicious but quite pricey) as they were the only staff that felt genuinely nice, friendly and not bothered by us. Also a very quiet and calm place, good to relax and enjoy.

    Not the value for money

    The rooms and furniture feel outdated. The bathroom tiles are painted rather than properly renovated. The shower sometimes lacked water pressure. You need to switch on the water heater constantly, and it’s impossible to set it to a comfortable temperature. We stayed there only 2 days, I would not recommend more until it's renovated.

    The hotel is located directly on the beach, where you can relax on their sunbeds. It is also near the airport. The food was very good, but you might have to wait a long time to be served. The staff is welcoming, though some lack experience or don't speak English.

    It’s a bit far from things and I didn’t have a car but there is a restaurant onsite and an independent one for breakfast and another for dinner within 10-12 min walk.

    The biggest positives are the proximity to the airport after a long overnight flight it was a delight to arrive so quickly here! The views on arrival of the beach area were unreal! Just like the photos shown here if not better. Also had very friendly welcome on arrival and friendly staff throughout. The room was adequate for needs, enough space for the three nights I stayed, a nice balcony too. I was working remotely so spent a lot of time on the balcony and in the room working! All round good experience! Good food too.

    Cleaning needs absolutely to be improved, and also there is some renovation needed. Very windy spot during all our 5 nights of stay. No water activities offered.

    Beachfront bungalows with living room and 2 bedrooms, ideal for a family. Crystal clear water, one of the best and clearest we have seen in Mauritius. Friendly and helpful staff. Without a buffet breakfast and dinner, which I hate, but instead with some daily options to choose from and served from the waiters.

    The staff was amazing, the beach is really beautiful, and the first few meters of water is very safe for kids to play, it's like a swimming pool. Beautiful snorkeling, but please notice the currents. The location is great, 5 minutes by a car to Blue Bay.

    Compared to other hotels in the same price category, the place looks rather tired and in need of repairs. When paying >130Euros a night, no matter the country, I demand to have a clean bathroom. The mould smell and the shower were not nice. Please make an effort and redo the shower silicon joints properly. I's not difficult, I've done it at home.

    Nice breakfast, friendly receptionist. The hotel has private access to a nice beach and even has kayaks. Perfect for exploring the lagoon

    • Stayed 1 night

    The bungalow was a good size for a family. But it's the quality of the fittings/tiling/room that are quite poor and why I score this just 7.0. I couldn't help but look on this as a missed opportunity - invest in renovating the bathrooms & bedrooms, and you'd have a boutique 4-star resort.

    The beach is simply stunning. Walk about 10 metres and you're snorkelling in coral. The staff we met (receptionist, room-cleaning, security) were fantastic - very proactive, courteous, helpful - they deserve a special shout-out.

    It seems like the owner is just milking this place for as much cash as possible. The food apart from the continental breakfast, which was average, was too expensive for us to even try. There were no discounts offered for kids and it was a set fee of 1500. We went down the road to the lively Blue Bamboo a short walk away and had 3 courses of amazing food for half the price. The pizzas are amazing. We had the bungalow. Whoever they got to paint it needs glasses or should try a new career. No attempt at a good job, whitewashing tiles is not a good idea, the TV unit was also whitewashed and falling to bits.There was paint on the blinds and patchy all over especially the bathroom. The bathroom needs a big update. I'm not sure why the water smells chlorinated. We stayed in places across Mauritius and never smelt water like this. Boiled it tasted bad so we didn't have tea or coffee. Selling only 700ml bottles of water and pricing them so high is a rip off when it's so hot. There weren't enough sun loungers and one is all ripped up. Not sure why it would be left on the beach like that. Conclusion is the location carries this place. If the owner put his hand in his pocket and invested some cash and offered better value food this could easily be a 9.

    They have a great location here and an opportunity for a nice little hotel. They also have friendly staff, we were served buy a lovely man and woman at breakfast. There is a small beach right in front, great sunrise views and easy access walks along the beach to the main beaches but we thought our small one was fine. Like others said there is good snorkeling, its windy but we didn't mind this.
