Mauritius hotels & accommodations
Pleasantly surprised by this property. Kantee the Hotel Manager is outstanding, always making sure guests are having a good time. Even though the property is not 5 star, it feels definitely better than 2 star. Good breakfast, clean and spacious room. Sita and her sister in the Restaurant is very sweet and always welcoming. We had a great stay and will most definitely c...

Stayed for 8 nights at the beginning of November. The villa was fantastic, even better than described and larger and more beautiful than we had imagined. The location is good, with shops and restaurants within walking distance. In our opinion the area is one of the best on the island, although the local beach is a little disappointing but with a car it is not a proble...
We had a great experience in this hotel! We really enjoyed every minute! It's like a small heaven! Everything was perfect! The room is big and always cleaned , the staff so kind and polite and always available for you . I had a problem and the manager named Sheila helped me straight away with the best way! Thank you Sheila! Lux Belle Mare and the Mauritius sea the best...
The Laguna Beach Hotel in Mauritius was amazing , the service was excellent , the was a bit of a communication delay when it came to confirming the Airport Transfer , but the driver did arrive on time and everything was sorted in the end . The deal we received was good, breakfast included is vital. The experience with Agoda was brilliant, Please keep me informed on mor...
Generally very good (stay last year Oct 2014) Pros: - Fantasic Location, nice stretch of quiet beach. We had a beach front room & the sea was 20 steps away. We sat at the terrace to watch the sea activities - Terrific Food Variety We always had a good choice of dinner & chefs were very nice to make our TomYam soup hotter in the Asian Restaurant & the Michellin St...
Everything was perfect at Maradiva hotel! We were there for Christmas with our 2 small kids and we enjoyed our stay a lot. On Christmas Day the hotel surprised the kids with gifts from Santa and my kids were so happy. Everything about the hotel was amazing from the way it looks to the punctual service, cleanliness, spacious rooms... It rained for few hours everyday but...
There are so many advantages of Shandrani hotel, it locates in the best famous place in Mauritius, the Blue Bay, it's absolutely the best fantastic hotel in Mauritius, and the facilities, services are very good. I won't hesitate to recommend this hotel to my friends
we were 'touring' mauritius as individuals and staying at different hotels as we made our way around the island. we pre booked our initial two day stay on the east coast then made our way gradually round the island booking as we travelled. this was the best hotel of the hotels we stayed at in mauritius. we were greeted warmly by the staff throughout our stay and u...
We were 3 generations staying together, some for the first time in Mauritius. We chose a Le Mauricia for its location and the sea view from the rooms. When we checked in our room was at the rear of hotel and the view was limited. I complained about this and I must say the staff were very helpful. There were none of our room type available with the good view so they upg...
there were only three reviews on this hotel when we booked and they were in korean, isreali and chinese! nevertheless, it seemed exceptionally good value for a 5 star hotel so we decided to try it out. it was our third hotel in mauritius and by far and away the best. service was excellent, food was outstanding and quality of rooms was superb. the infinity pool, bar a...
If you have the chance to travel to Mauritius Flic en flac reagion is an ideal place and Anelia resort is highly suggested with its location helpful friendly and sincere staff including the manager the animation team the recentionists shortly all was good Nilüfer Turkey
Pereybere Hotel & Spa is in the heart of Pereybere, 3.9 Km from Grand Baie. Location to the "Public beach" very convenient . This is a THREE star hotel, the rooms are spacious. clean and look newly decorated. The staff were amazing nothing to much trouble . My husband and I need this 7 day holiday and this was a perfect spot. Breakfast is served in the Restaurant dow...
Very nice hotel in a beautiful location . North western corner of Mauritius will increase the possibility of sunshine as weather usual builds up further inland and on the southern parts of the island. Fabulous sunsets. Restaurant all very good with good variety of food. We had a all inclusive package and we were not disappointed. Especially the Italian restaurant wa...
This hotel is set at the best location in Mauritius. The beach simply is the best, you can take a very nice swim or just lay there. Snorkeling was nice and easy, just a quick boat ride. Facilities (the pool in particular) and water sports were super. Also, there is a supermarket right across the road and a few nice restaurants within walking distance so you don't reall...
The smoothest check-in we have ever experienced. The breakfast included both a la carte & buffet which was amazing but nothing can compare to the dinner, the 5-course dinner every night, it was just impeccable. When you see the food presentation you might think, this might not be as delicious as it looks, but they exceeded my expectations without a doubt. The room - we...
In general, we had a very relaxed business and leisure trip and stay in Maritim Hotel Mauritius. In fact, we have been to this beautiful islands almost every year or 2 years since year 2000. We have stayed in many hotels but we would say Maritim is the best of all out of the 4 or 5 stars hotel that we have ever stayed in Mauritius so far. In short, it has all the bes...
The beach is definitely the highlight- the best beach we've experienced in Mauritius. The breakfast area flows onto the private beach and the public beach is literally a few steps away. Lots of food trucks/stalls at public beach selling delicious, fresh and inexpensive food. We especially enjoyed the food from the Food Court which sells stirfrys, pizza and burgers a...
We had taken the Beach View room. Pros - Large room with big bath tub - Scenic view of Beach direct from room - very nice food - clean - friendly staff - good Beach facilities Cons - Very expensive food - TV was old and didn't have video playback from USB Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and I recommend this to anyone looking to have a nice and peaceful time in...
We had a superior sea facing room which was really comfortable and had a stunning view. There a many beaches so you can get away from the crowd if you need to. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and the service - particularly the service cleaning the rooms - was excellent. We were on the all inclusive package which included excellent wines and access to all thr...
We stayed at Sea Sense hotel for four nights, during which I was very poorly. Every member of staff at the hotel could not have done more to look after us, nothing was too much trouble. It was clear that every employee, at any level in the hotel, took pride in their work. Everyone was smiley, attentive and helpful and greeted you by name. We had the most incredible roo...
Absolutely brilliant- this hotel is perfectly placed if you want to experience some of the wilder, raw Mauritius, swim with dolphins, climb le Morne etc. Beautiful beaches and sunsets. The hotel staff were really accommodating, and will help you make the most of the many things to do in the area.
Me and my girlfriend went here just for one night to celebrate her 28th birthday. I mentioned to the hotel staff in one email, that we are celebrating and what can they offer to have a better experience. Reply was that they will do what is in their power :) When we arrived, they immediately gave us a free upgrade of the room to waterfront access deluxe room and it was ...
We had a beautiful stay here, we saw the entire island and we booked different hotels but this was the best one. The beach is so scenic and very private I would say. Although it’s quite a big resort the beach was not crowded and we found our peace there. We will definitely come back and we will stay longer. Thumbs up for the Dinarobin team! 👍🏻
My husband and I have stayed in many 5 star hotels, but this is the best service we have experienced. We were unlucky and had a 10 days vacation during the tropical cyclone Bansi that came close to the Island. Even though our sunny holiday never happened, the hotel staff and chefs made our stay amazing anyway. We had a great time, the food is truly fantastic. Think v...
This place was the highlight of our trip to Mauritius. Delicious food and a service that impressed us every day. Thank you for your fantastic teamwork and high quality food, location and warm welcome. We will revisit and follow your beautiful posts on facebook.
This is the first hotel we lived in Mauritius. We were warmly welcomed by the boss. Room is quite clean. The pool and sea view are pretty good. The location is also great.I would definitely recommend this hotel and book for my next trip to Mauritius.
Very nice garden & beach setting, as well as good swimming pools. The room we stayed in was very well kept, clean, and comfortable. When we arrived somehow our room booking was lost. Don't knwo if this was an agoda issue or a hotel issue (or both) but the staff were very good about it and very helpful to resolve it. The best news out of this incident was that a gro...
Cheap places to stay in Mauritius
Finding budget accommodation on Mauritius isn't easy, particularly if you're looking for something near a beach. Auberge Etiennette does the job quite nicely for Trou D'Eau Douce. Although the auberge is located in the village, a good 15 mins walk to the beach, it's really handy for the bus stop, if you want to venture further, has ample parking space and is surrounded...
This residence is situated on the main road with much traffic, but quiet at night, the busstop is in front of it ( in 20 minutes you are in Port Louis by bus,) a free drink when we arrived, a breakfast for free, even at our own room, a big fan and a comfortable bed
The apartment is conveniently located next to the Super-U hypermart. However, it took us quite some time to find it because we arrived after dark and we couldn't find any signs saying Dookee House. We even walked up and down the road a few times. We only found it after we entered the restaurant next to Super-U and asked the restaurant owner. The apartment is right abov...
This is a rather luxury and good hotel, a comfortable bed in a small room and own bathroom (twins are possible without a bathroom, but with television), a very nice indoor swimmingpool, very good equiped kitchen, but rather far away from citycenter (by bus to a road opposite the museum and then 15 minutes walking, situated in an area with expensive villas and no sign...
We stayed one night at le bamboo guest house and we truly enjoyed it. The room was clean, wifi and air conditioning were available. The owners made the difference! We got introduced to the local lifestyle and enjoyed a beautiful dinner in their living room! When you stay there, make sure you'll join them for dinner which is an absolutely delicious and local meal! They ...
Ebrahim Flats is located on the Coastal Road in Grand Baie, and is in an extremely convenient location. It is right across from the beach, a 5 minute walk to Super U (large grocery store), and close to a number of shops and restaurants. The studio apartment was spacious and adequately furnished. There was enough seating, two side tables, a fan, an A/C, fridge, TV, to...
We were satisfied. Owner was very helpful
We only had one night at the SM lodge due to some prior travel plans and we tried quite a range of different accommodation types and budgets on the island. I can thoroughly recommend it as a pleasant place to stay with friendly and helpful staff, great balcony views and really good value. You will see from the location that it is not on the sea front but every touris...
I stayed here for 5 days. This is the cheapest and most valuable hotel I could find in Mauritius. The room is big, the owner is very helpful and it is near to many beautiful beaches with walking distance!
I booked my reservation at Auberge Le Saladier based almost entirely on what others said about their stay. The reviews appeared legit, and what people said about the hotel, and the environment there, seemed authentic. Having completed my stay there, I can only agree with everyone who raved about how pleased they were with their stay. For starters, my arrival flight wa...
It is basicly the lowest price I can booked in Mauritius. The Coco provides breakfast with bread, yogurt, juice, coffee, they get swimming pool, sunrise that you can catch it around 5:30am, very nice ! I m also like the location, just 30mins from airport buy bus to Mahebourg. Less tourist in Mahebourg which is good for me as I was just run away from crowds.
Great place to stay and stones throw from a deserted island type beach - white sand and turquoise sea - Arlette and Ronald are 2 lovely people who will go out of their way to help you - they have a friendly son who we took out with us one day - pleasant young man indeed! As I am vegetarian Arlette made me special food and made sure we tasted the traditiional dishes of...
It is quite far from the airport but not far from the bus station that you can go to the airport. Opposite is a big supermarket and a pharmacy shop. The owner did not aspect me to reach late at night by 9 pm even tough I have already mentioned during the booking. I had to ring the door bell almost half an hour to wait for the owner to open the gate.
It was a wonderful stay in Paradisia hotel Inn. Yash, his parents and his young brother were very friendly and always ready to provide assistance and gave us any recommendations we needed. Twice they invited us for their family meeting and dinner and we had a wonderful socializing with them and with their guests. The only uncomfortable thing for us was Internet which w...
Shan is a nice host. CLose to super market. Facilities are okay, kitchen with ample utensils.
Mauristudio is a fantastic, clean apartment with all of the amenities needed for a trip to Mauritius on a budget. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, service was great. The apartment is very close to the beach but requires public transport to get to the nearest towns. There is a small shop and restaurant within 2 mins walk. Would reccomend for solo travellers or ...
The good: Breakfast(same everyday) on the rooftop with good view, walking distance to market, eateries and the waterfront. The downside: Left my cash in the room when I check out, the staff took forever to help to look for it, and when I have arrived to claim the money, the owner actually took it with him to send a customer to airport, i have to wait for half an hour...
nice big appartment close to point aux bich, quite close to trou aux biches beach. nice fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, possibility to sit and relax outside. thank you!
Even though there is a sea view from the patio, our room resembled a dungeon, not a luxury double with balcony and seaview. Location is well suited for excursions. Parking available.
It was a wonderful stay and amazing experience at the ONS Motel and Guest House. Our trip would have been ruined if we were not helped by the wonderful family of Mr Nizam (The owner). We are couples celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary in Mauritius and my wife suffered an injury after arrival in Mauritius. Mr Nizam went out of his way and took personal care of both...
Les Bambous was a gem of a guest house with very helpful owner and his son Ritesh. I stayed here on 3 separate occasions during my Mauritius holiday. The rooms gave a good night's sleep with simple but adequate breakfast served when you needed. Ritesh also took me on pre-booked excursions at a fair price and was very knowledgeable. Thank you!
About 3-5 min walk to Super U and many good restaurants using the back door of the hotel. Only 10-15 min walk to La curettes beach... The breakfast is tasty... The boss is very kind where he allowed us to check out at 10pm as we have a midnight flight.
Value for money
The place was clean and all the facilities provided was satisfactory except the receptionist who was rude to my children due to their swimming suits. She claimed as my children were young they should be wearing two piece instead of their usual water resistant short and t-shirt. She exclaimed that since she has various international customers their attire is 'inappropri...
Not only the staff is kind, but they make all they can to help you. In love with this place.
I can't say enough positive things about this wonderful family. They really helped make my stay pleasant. Extremely thoughtful and kind. The guest house is located directly behind the Tamil Hindu Temple. Easy bus access directly on the corner. Safe environment and beautiful view. You can beat the location and view for this price! I will definitely be back and would rec...
Right by the Grand Baie beach, cost friendly residence with spacious room and kitchen. They clean the room, change the sheets and towels everyday if you want. But I wanted the cleaning lady to change our sheets once a week since I change my sheets at home once a week. Why waste extra water and poison the ecological system with laundry detergent unnecessarily? There is...
Situated at the heart of Grand Baie this bungalows offers a fully furnished air conditioned,studio apartment with all electric appliances,a bathroom, kitchenette and a balcony.Ironing facilities,maid are also provided by them which are included in your cost. Sea beach & Super U mall is 1 min walk. Once you reach Mauritius they provide airport transfers.You don't have t...
This guesthouse is found right at the entrance of the St Francois which in my humble opinion has one of the best, if not the best, beaches in Rodrigues. The beach is a few minutes' walk away. I would also encourage you to hire a scooter - which can be arranged for by the hosts- to explore the island. The hosts are very helpful. The food is simple but nice although I ...

We were a family of four (2 adults and two kids - age 17 & 10). We had booked a 2-bedroom apartment with pool view for 5 nights (30th Apr to 4th May). The property was exactly as shown in the pictures. Our 1st Floor apartment was quite spacious - 2 bedrooms (each with an attached bathroom), living room with a sofa & TV, kitchen with a small dining table, induction ho...
The resort is set in quaint Flic-en-Flac, but the staff are great ambassadors of all the charms Mauritius has to offer. They provide good advice about activities all over the island to make your visit memorable and assist you to explore this idyllic island destination from coast to coast. However, it’s the warmth of their hospitality and the ambience that makes return...
Loved the peacefulness of Sakoa - perfect beach location at the quiet end of Trou aux Biches, with spacious rooms more like studio apartments, with big verandas. The staff were helpful and friendly. I have a few trivial suggestions in keeping with the standard of a 4-star establishment, such as bottled water and fruit bowls in rooms, tissues, shower caps. All in all th...
The suprise 4 star hotel "My wife Daughter and me have just returned from our holiday in Mauritius, we have been there many times before and have stayed in a lot of the top 4 and 5 star hotels on this trip we stayed part of the time the La Pirogue and part in the Ambre hotel we booked the Ambre at the last minute just to see if we liked it, i have to say that the Name ...
Our room was on the ground floor with little verandah. Couple of steps to the beach to watch magnificent sunsets. Our bed was not comfortable and on making on call it was sorted out so very impressed with the hotel staff and management. They take extra care in making the room look beautiful shaping animals from towels just a wonderful extra gesture which is so often...
This is the best place in Mauritius it has it all pool Seaview rooms porter service and a relaxed atmosphere, but it’s biggest jewel is it’s staff who pamper
really nice location, place in good condition with new style decor. staff very lazy but if you don't need anything then you'll be all good. but Grand baie is not the best place in Mauritius, go to flic en flac... way better Beach and alot more things to do!
The view is amazing, but the wifi is very weak.
It was a great stay at Oasis. We innitially plan to stay for only 2 nights but we finally extended our stay through out the trip. The villa is really nice especially pool and living room, well equipped kitchen. Although it is not beach front but Evaco provide a great private beach on La Plage. It should be the best beach we visited in Mauritius (better than Belle Marre...
Athena Villas by Evaco are one of the best private villas in Grand Baie, Mauritius. Someone looking for privacy like home and great atmosphere can surely look for Evaco properties. Athena has great charm and setting. The staff is excellent and services are up to mark. The encounter with all the personnel of Evaco was corteous and warm during the stay and all are helpfu...
We just returned last week after a week's stay at this resort and had a great experience with family. Both the caretakers Corinne and Valerie took excellent care of us during the stay and ensured pleasant memories. Booked through Agoda.com using a good offer the apartment (with 2 bedrooms to accommodate 4 people and 1 drawing room with dining etc.,) and I got a con...
We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment. THE GOOD:- 1. The apartment is very well stocked. 2. Excellent quality of crockery, cutlery, glassware, etc. The quantity is also very good. you can easily invite friends over for a party. They have a gas barbecue kit as well. They also have all the stuff required for a family picnic. 3. The staff was very helpful & courteous. 4. D...
We loved our stay in the bubble lodge. The whole experience is totally unique - from the stunning setting, the amazing accommodation and the brilliant team that looked after us. Highly recommended!

I love this place and if we come back again in MRU, we’ll be booking this place! The staff were all very nice and accommodating. It’s a very quiet place and the lobby/reception is well maintained. Hopefully there’ll be more options for their breakfast :)
Very nice furniture, DSTV will most certainly add value
The apartment is spacious and clean and well structured with a beautiful pool and sea view. There are convenience stores, ATM and restaurants at a few minutes walk. The pool is small but was rarely occupied with the beach a few steps away. Ashley (the resort manager) was helpful in getting basic groceries (at a charge) since our flight was delayed and we reached late n...
We came here for the first half of our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail and attentiveness of every single member of staff was outstanding. We were greeted by name by the manager at each evening meal (and he was often present at lunch and breakfast too). The food here is incredible, although if you are a really fussy eater - it might not su...
We stayed at a number of places during our holiday in Mauritius and this was by far the best! I can't find anything to criticize...the rooms, grounds, staff, food, views were all wonderful. We opted for 1/2 board and found that if you walked to the other end of the beach there was great 'street food' on offer - dim sum, noodles etc. perfect for lunch time. The b...

Food not satisfactory. Room leaked when rained. They never told us that on the Saturday night they had 12 artist performing with a live band on the property from 7pm until 1am in the morning we could not sleep. If they had informed us about the band in advance we would not have stayed there. The hotel is not value for money. The staff never clear your table when eating...
good place, location could be better, but if you look for a good play to sleep it is really nice
We stayed at the hotel 4 nights. In september weather was very bad could not do any water activity. Gym room was very good. Food was not so tasty but there was variety of food buffet.staff very friendly, swimming pool very was not that great, the beach you Can't swim but there is beaches close by you can swim, taxi is quite expensive, its best if you canhave you own ca...
Large apartment, close to the beautiful sea. The owner was willing and pleasant to stay. Short, but nice stay.

The food is absolutely delicious ...
Nice , small and quiet hotel. If you doesn’t like many people around -this is the best choice in the Mauritius north part. Staff was attentive ,friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok, but not perfect. Nice view from balcony, good and clean beach, good location. Thank you to all staff who was so kind and helpful.
One of our best holidays so far and we had the most wonderful stay at the Hilton Mauritius. The staff looked after us so well in every aspects and our room with the ocean view was to kill for !!
