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.

Just returned from another visit to the Tropical Attitude and there has been a few more changes since last year, with the new villas which are amazing, a new gym, rooftop solarium above the restaurant. All the staff Christoph, Ram, Saheel, chef Vicrash, Karen and the staff from the reception, bar staff, restaurant staff, spa girls and of course Desire hotel manger. A big thank you to Christoph for my special birthday lunch and special birthday dinner on the peir once again and to Deepa from housekeeping for inviting us to your home for my birthday dinner and for her daughter for my beautiful birthday cake in my favorite colour red they always make you feel at home. Nothing is a bother or any requests you have will be done with pleasure. It's a long journey to get there but it is worth it just to be there with you all. Take care my other family we will see you again. Perhaps with Lionel and Joan once again as they to are regulars beating us as they have been there 24 times as we have been 3 times. Read less

Thanks to Tropical Attitude and all their amazing staff for making our holiday special. We had a wonderful and a relaxing time at this resort. The room was clean and functional with access directly onto the beach. It was lovely to wake up with the view of the turquoise sea water and to listen to the waves. The beach directly in front of the resort is a bit rocky, but there is beautiful white sandy beach just 2 minutes walk away that is reasonable for snorkelling. There is not as many fish as I’ve seen elsewhere and there is lots of sea urchins, so water shoes would be recommended. The staff were always super friendly and helpful. The food was tasty with variety selection of choices of European and local food. The friendly chef made some nice dishes - blended with Mauritians tastes and spices. We recommend the ice cream with cinnamon, chilli paste, and banana jam. If you like a spa treatment, try the relaxing massage. It is lovely experience in the tropics . If you have time, visit the South West of island, as it is very beautiful . The hotel and our rep were able to organise trips, but we opted for car hire. The roads are fine and it was very scenic along the costal roads and the hilly roads around Black River National Park. The hotel also provided a packed lunch. Whilst this is rated as a three star resort, we think it is definitely worth four stars. Great value for money. Read less
