The hotel

The Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius lies in stunning tropical gardens along the Turtle Bay Marine Park. Many guests return again and again to enjoy its array of activities, many of which are included in your All Inclusive package, or to simply relax by the pool or on the beautiful beach. Discover the resort's wealth of dining options, from international buffet to 'feet in the sand'-style dining, Asian delicacies, and traditional cuisine. La Marée Beach Restaurant is the place for to enjoy delicious Mediterranean dishes on the beach as the sun goes down. For a special treat, indulge in a meal at LaKaz Kreol, a Mauritian family-style restaurant seating just 10 people, or visit the hotel's Château Mon Désir, a colonial-style mansion overlooking the historic ruins of Balaclava and the Citron River, or experience the new brasserie style restaurant set inside historical ruins. Visit the horses at the hotel's wonderful equestrian centre — and be sure to stop by the giant tortoise park on your way. There is also a superb spa at the hotel with lovely gardens, where you can take in the natural sounds of paradise as you relax in the tranquillity area behind the specially-made waterfall… heaven.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Maritim Resort & Spa! The resort was spotless, with everything maintained to perfection. The food was excellent, offering a wide variety of delicious options that catered to all tastes. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more special. The views from the resort and the beach were breathtaking—truly paradise! There were also plenty of water activities to enjoy, which kept things fun and exciting. A special thanks to Kishan at reception and Yevin from the main restaurant. They were both absolutely brilliant—so attentive and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. I highly recommend Maritim Resort & Spa for anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious getaway. I can’t wait to return! Read less

I'll start by saying that we had a fantastic holiday at the Maritim. The feeling when we first arrived was one of relief and happiness. Beautiful grounds, a stunning view from the reception and a lovely room with a great view over the beach and grounds. However, there are a few reviews on here which mention some niggles, a couple of which I have to agree with . Number one is the all inclusive package - it's not! When you use the additional restaurants there is very limited choice which is all inclusive so you end up paying , and it's not cheap. And the booking process is irritating - only certain restaurants, only certain nights, only limited visits etc. The management response is always to outline how it is explained on arrival or at the booking desk, but it is such a common complaint that maybe a new approach is needed? Secondly, the main pool needs a thorough clean - there are areas where the grout is missing or has mould and there are a lot of areas where the paint is flaking/peeling. Other than these points the hotel is fantastic . Beautiful beach, great facilities, friendly staff. They were so helpful and accommodating when our flight was delayed overnight. Apart from the all inclusive policy I would stay here again Read less

My wife and I had such a nice time at the resort for our honeymoon. The views are beautiful, perfect for pictures. A large variety of activities are available and the food at the buffet was really good. We ended the stay with a day at the spa, and it was amazing. The couple massage, Jacuzzi, Hamam, and sauna. We really loved it all.

This isn't the first time I was holidaying at the Maritim Resort in Balaclava. From the start, the Reservation team responded to our needs promptly. On arrival, the reception staff was very welcoming and the environment was relaxing. Our accommodation was superb, clean, well located and pleasant staff. Good beach services. International buffet deserves its name. Well managed and the team will do their utmost to make our dining enjoyable. What can we say about restaurant La Maree ? Good service, romantic, breakfast or dining on the beach, delicious cuisine and you do feel especial. Save the best for last! Mon Desir restaurant is a dining experience. Competent staff, great menu and the team is determined to make it a successful evening. There is also a pianist in the background. The activities are good and most of them are free. Common__ Give it a go! Don't forget to wander around the beautiful garden. Great landscape inc waterfall and the team has managed to retain the environment as it was. Of course, it is complimented by a beautiful tropical scene. On the other hand, the boat house team and the evening entertainment needs to be reviewed. I believe it's on the card. Oh! Mrs Antje T is missed. Her leadership and interaction with the guests is excellent. Thanks to the Maritim team who has made our holiday enjoyable. We will come again and has no hesitation to recommend this Resort. James & Shantah Read less
