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 – facing a turquoise lagoon, just a free shuttle ride from the beautiful beaches at 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. Book into one of the newer villas to enjoy a private pool all to yourselves, perfect for a special occasion.

Fabulous ocean views to look at from our room and the restaurants. Staff were so friendly and cheerful but also caring and efficient. Their desire to make sure we were enjoying our holiday was fantastic - Deepa and Patricia who kept our rooms spotless and made amazing creatures from towels, Sunil and Karuna from the restaurant and in fact ALL the restaurant staff who were always attentive and other staff on reception, bar and boat house, staff who booked activities and Anusha in the spa. The food was varied and delicious and plentiful! Would love to go back. So glad we stayed here and not is some larger, impersonal hotel. Would highly recommend! Read less

Just returned after a fabulous 2 weeks at a fabulous hotel, would have been 5 star review but for a couple of things. From check in to checking out we found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful and a lot of them not only remembered your name but also what room you were in. To be honest the only staff member that I didn’t find that friendly was Vikash the chef. To me he seem to favour the guests who attended his cooking classes and when he was chatting to people in the restaurant he was always on his phone, also saw him a couple of times ‘helping’ guests to do reviews and making sure they mentioned his name on the review. Although the resort states it’s environmental friendly they did waste a lot of paper getting guests to sign for everything such as lunch, dinner and drinks at the bar or getting things from the shop. I know that they have to keep an eye on things being used but surely there’s a more environmentally friendly way to do this such as getting guests to sign electronically on a tablet or use of wristbands. Overall an excellent holiday on a beautiful island and will definitely be back in the future, either to this resort or another hotel. Read less

Cooking course was amazing. Staff were incredibly friendly and made our stay extra special. Facilities and the fact that the hotel is eco friendly is a bonus. We stayed in a villa and the pool was a bonus after a day out and there were lots of activities available if you wanted to try things.
