The hotel

Those torn between ‘contemporary chic’ and ‘utterly authentic’ needn’t choose – after a radical revamp, Tropical Attitude promises both. All bold geometric design and luxe natural touches, this adults-only retreat gives grownups that boutique hotel feel and a genuine Mauritian experience. It starts with its location – on a lagoon, just a free shuttle boat ride from beautiful Ile aux Cerfs, it’s near the traditional fishing village of Trou d’Eau Douce. And it continues with its attitude – with real Mauritius found everywhere from its spa treatments to its experiences, including cookery lessons, a weekly ‘Made in Mauritius’ market, and home-cooked dinners at local families’ homes. Dining at Tropical Attitude is equally authentic, whether you’re at its intimate Kot Nou restaurant (which seats just 20 guests), tucking into Mauritian street food from TABA-j, or taking one of its picnic baskets over to Ile aux Cerfs.

The hotel is right on the beach with a small pier that you can use to travel to the nearby island. The rooms are cosy and right on the beach, each with a terrace. The pool area looks amazing and is a nice spot to relax. The hotel staff are all incredibly lovely and helpful, and they make it their goal to really provide an amazing holiday for you. You can book trips or taxis from the hotel, all for a very reasonable price. The restaurant is nice, there's a great variety of food (dinner is served alternatively a la carte and as a buffet) and the food is delicious. As it was our honeymoon and our 1st anniversary during our stay, they organised a special romantic dinner for us and baked a small cake to help us celebrate. Our stay was incredible and if we ever come back to Mauritius (and we hope we will), this will definitely be the place we will choose again. Read less

We had a wonderful holiday at Tropical Attitude. It's in a beautiful location and all rooms have a sea view. Staff were so warm and welcoming and really wanted us to have a great time so we felt at home straight away. We loved the fact that it's adult only and as it's only a small hotel it never felt busy. We were there celebrating a friends special birthday and the restaurant staff went above and beyond to make sure she had a wonderful time - a big thank you to Sunil for all his help in arranging the birthday dinner. We were all inclusive and the food in the restaurant was always lovely with plenty of choice and staff were always so helpful, Christophe and Reshma in particular. Everyday we came back to our room to find a different towel animal and our room so beautifully cleaned so thank you to the lovely Nazimah for looking after us so well. We had a manicure at the Spa with Vandana and she did a fabulous job. We thoroughly recommend this hotel and Mauritius and would not hesitate to return. Read less

The hotel was in a beautiful part of the island with amazing views of the sea and over to Ile aux Cerf. As an adult only hotel it was incredibly peaceful and relaxed. The staff are friendly and really helpful with any queries and always polite, nothing seemed to be a problem when you asked. The rooms were comfortable and we had a wonderful housekeeper who created an amazing towel origami each day which brought smiles to our faces everytime. We loved that the hotel had a strong eco ethos. Food was varied with a range of choices inlcuding a lot of vegetarian choices and a wondeful selection of fresh fruit. The free boat to Ile aux Cerf, which went at least twice a day, was a real bonus as was the glass bottom boat and opportunity to snorkel. We both had a massage at the spa which was a wonderful experience in a beautiful setting. Mauritius is a truly beautiful country with breathtaking scenery and Tropcal Attitude the perfect place to stay and enjoy all that Mauritius has to offer. Read less
