Location, food and facilities were great and as advertised. Worth the money for sure. Only negatives were with the service. Some of the stuff was just plain rude. At restaurants we always felt rushed to order as fast as we can which is hard when you travel with a 2 year old. Stuff in kids playground refused to lower the music when asked, their answer was that our boy had no problem with it the other day? At our checkout, lady who handled our bill didn’t seem bothered at all. We also asked her to order a taxi ride to the airport with a child seat and she said that she informed the driver about it. Our ride arrived without a child seat and driver said that no one informed him about it. Read less

If you like the more authentic luxury resorts, then this is definitely the place on Mauritius that I would recommend. It might not be cheap but it is more than good value for money. Friendly staff, clean and neat rooms, excellent service and sundowners don't get much better than on this location!
