Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette Resort & Spa, Mauritius

I have just arrived back from a 10 night stay. Overall the hotel was ok. Not the best place to stay & definitely would NOT stay there again. My main issue with the hotel was the food!! . The hygiene of the food is very poor. There is no covers to cover the food so all the cheese, fruit, salad etc were in the open, there was often a lot of fruit flies on them!! Every time I had a food from the buffet I was ill in the night vomiting & diarrhoea. I spoke to many couples during our stay who also experienced the same thing. They have an another restaurant on the beach front which is slightly better but not much!! I had an AL package but half of the stuff on the menu is not included on the packag and you had to pay an uplift. I paid enough for the holiday .. why wasn’t this made clear upon booking? The hotel also advertises a “roof top bar”. I can assure you it is no where near a roof top bar. It’s a shack made out of wood with bottles of vodka. There is no sufficient seating area, its bean bags on the sand? It’s also not on the roof? It was extremely disappointed with this as this was one of the features that stood out. Despite being an all inclusive package, if you wanted to have tapas from the “roof top bar” you had to pay a premium that’s if the bar was open, it advertises every evening 4pm until 9pm. It was open twice when I was there. A couple we met also said that they waited up there for an hour one evening and no body showed so they went down to the buffet to say they were up there and they were told they needed to pay to be there. Very unpleasant, unprofessional and mis leading! When I visited the sister hotel all their food was in fridges, when I ate there I had no stomach issues in the evening. If they can cover the food in the sister hotel, why can’t they do it in this one? The pool was lovely, beach was good, plenty selection of sun beds. The hotel advertised water sports however for the full 10 days there they said the weather was too dangerous to go into the sea .. so we went and brought our own snorkels and did it ourselves. I just think they can’t be bothered. The other issue with this hotel is the lack of undercover seating. If it rains (which is did for 3 nights) there’s no where to go at all. I didn’t go on holiday to sit in my room? Overall the hotel was ok, I still enjoyed my holiday however the hotel did drastically let it down. I would not return. Read less

My wife and I recently spent a week at the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette Resort and Spa during our trip to Mauritius, and our stay was a mixed bag of delightful experiences and some disappointments. The Good: Service Excellence: From the moment we arrived until our departure, the service at Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette Resort and Spa was consistently top-notch. The staff members went out of their way to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, making us feel truly welcomed throughout our stay. Delectable Desserts: The pastry chef at the resort deserves special commendation. The desserts served were nothing short of exquisite, leaving us craving for more after every meal. Exceptional Ala Carte Dining: We found the ala carte restaurant to be a culinary highlight of our stay. The food was exceptionally tasty, showcasing both local flavors and international cuisine with finesse. Outstanding Facilities: The resort boasts excellent facilities, including a pristine pool, inviting pool deck, and a beautiful beach with well-maintained facilities, providing guests with ample opportunities for relaxation and recreation. The Bad: Cramped Rooms: One notable downside was the cramped accommodations. The rooms were surprisingly small, which detracted from our overall comfort during the stay. Awkward Bed Design: Additionally, the beds were mounted on oddly high bases, posing a challenge for my pregnant wife to comfortably climb onto them, which was a significant inconvenience. Underwhelming Buffet Experience: While the ala carte restaurant shone, the main buffet restaurant left much to be desired. The food was average at best, and themed nights lacked authenticity, often serving the same dishes under different titles. Limited Watersports Activities: The boat house offerings were disappointingly limited, with only kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling available. Compared to other resorts, the variety of watersports activities was notably lacking. Scant Entertainment Options: While there was nightly music, the daytime activities left much to be desired, with a lack of engaging options. Furthermore, the cancellation of planned activities without prior notice was frustrating and poorly managed. Noisy Air Conditioning: The air conditioning unit in our room was disappointingly loud, making it challenging to sleep peacefully. The constant noise disrupted our rest, detracting from the overall comfort of the accommodation. Mold Concerns: Furthermore, we were dismayed to discover evidence of mold in our room. This not only raised hygiene concerns but also diminished the overall appeal of the living space. Shower Issues: The shower in the bathroom presented another inconvenience, as it struggled to regulate temperature effectively. Water from the shower head oscillated abruptly between freezing cold and scalding hot within seconds, making it difficult and uncomfortable to shower under such erratic conditions. Overall Impression: The Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette Resort and Spa offers a pleasant stay with excellent service, delectable dining options, and superb facilities. However, shortcomings such as cramped rooms, limited activities, inconsistent entertainment, noisy air conditioning, mold concerns, and temperature regulation issues detract from its overall appeal. With some improvements in these areas, the resort has the potential to provide an even more memorable experience for its guests. Read less

Initially we were placed in a room on the second line across the road. The room faced a mobile radio tower and was located on top of the storage room, which resulted into significant noise in the early morning. Moreover, the room wasn‘t sound proof at all, so also traffic and conversations of the neighbors could be heard easily. On top there was mold in several places in the bathroom and in the room, including furniture and stool cushions. This wasn’t at all what we expected for our vacation. However, after complaining we got a smaller but quieter room with a nice view of the ocean. Though the bathroom situation didn‘t improve, the overall situation was better. We booked full board and breakfast was well as dinner was splendid with a large variety of food choices. Unfortunately the selection choices at noon were much more limited. All in all the very friendly and helpful staff left us with an overall good impression of our stay in the hotel, despite the above mentioned downsides. Our special thanks go to Daniela, Raul, Tisha and divemaster Curtis and his team. Read less

We stayed at the Radisson Post Lafayette from 04 to 09 April 2024. It was the most beautiful stay of our life, yes! The driver picked us up at the airport was very professional and very friendly, the car was comfortable and we had a pleasant trip. Arrived at the hotel, the front office Manager Mr Vishal warmly welcomed us as if we were royalty, he introduced us to his team and gave us a nice presentation of his hotel and its services. We would like to thank him personally for his professionalism and sense of hospitality, we feel that he masters his subject and that his entire team follows his example, it is very important for tourists to be so well received. Regarding the room, in line with expectations and even beyond our expectations! The quality of the household is impeccable, the bedding is comfortable, the rooms are well arranged, everything is in its place. It feels like home, it’s a real happiness. We met polite and friendly people in the housekeeping staff, they were anxious to know if the service suited us, if not the case do not hesitate to ask them they would be delighted to help us. The catering side was managed by Mr Adjay ( Surrendra ) who was very caring with us, but also all his other guests, he is so dedicated to make your stay an unforgettable moment, you do not need to think about your needs he has already anticipated everything! He is a real enthusiast and we feel that he takes pleasure in doing his job, make every moment matter as they say. All facilities are perfectly maintained, the hotel is very beautiful, we did not even want to go out since we had everything we needed on site, and in addition the team did everything possible to satisfy us. We also met the director, Mr Ritesh, we do not even know what we can add, it is the Leader and everything is fine in his hotel. It closely follows the stay of its guests, despite the large number of people, its only priority is customer satisfaction. We would like to thank him especially for this wonderful stay. Unfortunately, we had to return reluctantly at the end of the stay, but we have already planned our next holiday ... and this time we will return with friends and family! See you soon! and a thousand thanks again! Read less
