The hotel

All-suite and all-inclusive, the Ravenala Attitude is styled in contemporary, colonial and tropical hues. With an open-plan, no boundaries design, the restaurants and bars flow seemlessly towards the pool, gardens and beach beyond. But it’s not all about appearances — it goes deeper. Its ‘Culinary Voyage’ takes you from Asia to Italy in 10 restaurants, eight of which you can sample as part of your All Inclusive package. You can tuck into 'Granmamas' Mauritian fare at Kot Nou, street-food takeaways on the beach at Taba-J, and enjoy the romance of the floating Riviera restaurant. The kids' clubs provide various fun activities, whilst the Sport Village and Boat House offer endless diversions, from kayaking along Rivière Citron to riverbank yoga and water-skiing (only available until Nov'19) off the beach. And the hotel's ‘Otentik’ concept gives you a true insight into Mauritius, in cookery classes, local music, a self-guided tours app, and a weekly ‘Otentik Bazar’, with all profits from the ‘made in Mauritius’ goodies going to the craftspeople. You can even dine on ‘Otentik Dinners’ with locals in their homes. This charming resort is great for families, with large rooms and a range of activities, whilst couples will love staying in the Executive Beachfront Adult Suites in the adults-only section.

Myself and my girlfriend have just returned from a 10 day stay and The Ravenala and we are already planning our return. Everything from the start of our holiday to the minute we boarding our transfer to the airport was amazing. The hotel grounds are well kept and each room is a 'suite' meaning you have plenty of space and a huge bathroom. Our room smelt quite musty when we first arrived however, this soon went once the air con was fired up. Our room was cleaned every day, with fresh towels twice a day and we even had a visit mid evening every night to have our room prepared to go to sleep. Thank you to our housekeeper Mantee for this and for being so friendly. The pool area is huge and there are plenty of sunbeds to choose from both here and on the beach which is a 50m walk from the pool area. We spent most of our time on the beach and enjoyed watching the sunset every night. The service from the barman/waiters at the beach was incredible, they could not do enough for you. A special mention to Yasine, Daryl, Kishan and Yovan for keeping us hydrated for 10 days! We took advantage of the free watersports included and particularly enjoyed the paddle boarding, kayaking and watersports. Thank you to everyone at the boathouse for organising this. We ate at every restaurant except for Lime. Madame Ming and in particular Kot Nou (we ate there twice) are must visits. We also ate at Riviera (supplement) and this is also worth the visit with excellent food, service and an amazing setting for dinner. All of the other restaurants were very good with good service. I would like to make a special mention for the entertainment team and in particular Zack, Tijan and Alvino. These boys make this place with their energy and bad singing. We really enjoyed playing table tennis, boules and beach volley with you and you are a credit to the hotel! TIPS: - Make sure you book all the restaurants in advance or as soon as arrive to ensure you get to everywhere you want - they book up quickly! - We went in September and although the weather in the day was perfect in can get quite cool at night, it may be worth taking a jacket particularly if you are eating at night on the beach! - Take advantage of the watersports available and take a trip to visit the turtles and dolphins, it is well worth the money. Thank you for every member of staff we came across during our visit, you made our first trip to Mauritius a special one and we will definitely be back! Read less

My wife and I booked our ‘baby-moon holiday’ to Mauritius in order to chill and relax before our little one comes-a-long. Our holiday was fantastic and we found the whole experience very relaxing. Bullet point Positives and Negatives: Positives: Staff Weber very friendly and attentive. The hotel fixtures and general look was of a high quality. Generally the food was lovely (except the main buffet). The staff top up mini bar was cool. Cocktails and drinks were a good standard. Beach bar was nice with the tiki bar swings. The beech waiter service for food and drink was very efficient and the staff were friendly / attentive. Very clean beach and pool. Free water sports. Good evening entertainment. The check out process was smooth and the wash rooms we’re brilliant. Negatives: The main buffet was not the best quality, however the individual (free) restaurants were very good. The breakfast food variety could have been better. Instead of having an ‘all inclusive’ wrist brand, the hotel had a signing proceed, this could be irritating at times when trying to relax by the pool or beech. Generally a fantastic hotel ✈️👍🏼 Read less

Pool bar staff were fantastic especially Moe, who looked after us most days and also the bar staff at the beach front where we spent our evenings. The cocktail evening on Tuesday was lovely also. We organised our tours through our rep from Kuoni which were fantastic (the racing and black river guage). No complaints from this holiday, amazing!! Read less

Our favourite place in the hotel! Staff couldn’t be more friendly or do enough for us - attended to our every need. The relaxed atmosphere, both in the day and in the evenings helped make our holiday really special.

Totally fantastic. Stayed in the adult only section , right on the water front. Beautiful room,with breathtaking views . All of the staff were amazing, literally too many to mention, from the housekeepers to the waiters to the boat house staff to the bar tenders. Amazing. Great enteratinment every night plus a nightclub if you really want to party late. Food in all the restaurants was fantastic, especially Kot Nou. Hotel grounds and gardens are wonderful. Facilities are fab from the bars to the restaurants to the beach area. Truly amazing. Dont be put off by the small beach, the water activites and staff there make up for it. Great attitude. The river inlet is a lovely extra dynamic , and great to explore in a kayak. Fab views of the bay and loads of water sports. Nothing is too much trouble. As others have said, weather was a little hit and miss so the pool was chilly but this didnt stop us having one of our best holidays ever. Do the fitness class and you will soon warm up. Or just chill on the sunloungers with a cocktail and watch the stunning sunsets. All 10 of my family had a fabulous time. Would highly recommend this hotel to families, honeymooners and friends.
