We had an amazing stay at Sugar Beach. Special thank yous to Saddul who made our stay so pleasant. He always gave a warm welcome on every encounter and was extremely thoughtful. He would have our drinks ready for breakfast. He took such great care and interest in us. We would most definitely return because of his hospitality! Another special thank you to Sweta who equally made our evening meal a pleasant one. She was very kind and accommodated to the best of her ability.

With a couple of bad experiences with the staff, I won’t recommend this place.
First they lost my golf bag. I was told my golf bag was sent to Tamarina golf club because that’s their policy. Spend the morning looking for my bag at Tamarina golf club but with no luck. Back at the hotel I was told that the golf bag was in the wrong room! What a waste of my time on holiday!
When we sat down for lunch there were 2 empty glasses and an almost empty bottle of water on the table. When the waiter arrived we were told to go and sit on the couch so she could prepare the table…. but the table was clean. When we said that she could just take the empties again we were told: thats policy. Really? The table was clean and we were happy to eat there. We left without lunch. Policies not user friendly.
More unpleasent experiences. Not user friendly at all. Won’t see me again. Believe me after five visits to Mauritius there are much much better options available.

We really had a good time at the hotel - good service from the staff in particular Anuradha, Vijayen, Vishal. There was a good variety for breakfast with fresh fruit juice. The weather was nice. The rooms were of good standards. On a Friday night, we would have liked to see more music entertainment or shows.
