The hotel

Long Beach just oozes cool — it combines carefree, elegant living with a blend of contemporary architecture and tropical landscape. A playground resort by day and night, it's all about music, art, food and wellbeing. At the heart of the resort is the piazza, with restaurants, bars and shops surrounding the chic central square. If sports are on your agenda, you’re in luck, there’s plenty here to tempt you both on land and sea. Located on the longest, widest stretch of white-sand coastline in Mauritius, it’s a beach lovers paradise. While away the hours by one of the three pools or in a hammock under the shade of a palm tree, or be pampered at the Cinq Mondes Spa with its relaxation area overlooking the gardens and pond. The dining options are varied at Long Beach, ensuring all tastes are catered for. Kids have their own club, with activities including arts and crafts, plus beach barbecues around the campfire for the teens.

We stayed at Long Beach 9th July 2022. This was our 4th visit to this hotel. We have always liked Long Beach for its perfect beach setting, multiple pools, great restaurants and friendly relaxed staff. The problem we find now is this hotel has not upgraded the bedrooms or restaurants, anything really since our first visit in 2014. It’s very dated, and overall a bit dirty and in need of complete refurbishment to be honest. There are a few changes, but with my keen eye it’s just some small managerial changes to pretend a space is now a new experience. Not good enough in this World if luxury is what you’re looking for. Also, considering it was our 4th stay any normal 5* resort hotel would recognise that loyalty and perhaps offer a well located room or at least remember us considering the money we have spent here. Instead they put us in a room next door to a working construction site? We did ask to be moved somewhere quieter which was immediately acted on, but our first impression returning was a bad one. The staff at guest relations to be honest are a bit… rude. Food is good, the buffet restaurant Le March is usually just too chaotic for a couple to enjoy. The other restaurants are all ok as well but that’s it. It’s just all a bit canteen restaurant for us which family’s with young children just take over and forget that other guests were actually looking to relax. The Spa is still one of the best we have stayed at the treatments and therapist are all extremely professional, it’s a very nice private area to enjoy and get away from everyone else. It’s usually empty. My biggest problem with this hotel is it’s extremely confused as to what clientele it’s trying to attract. It seems to be everyone, family’s, couples, honeymooners, anniversary’s, sporty 21’s. The problem is exactly that, that type of strategy doesn’t work. Most couples don’t want to spend every mealtime in restaurants surrounded by screaming children. Nor the pool or beach. It’s not what was advertised. Although there is an adult pool and an adult restaurant, it’s just overall this hotel is really confused. We can’t spend every night in a resort that big in one restaurant. It’s a shame because we have always enjoyed our stay at Long Beach and simply love Mauritius, however nearby hotels have caught up and are in another class of 5* competing with Asia, Dubai, Maldives which is what is now expected for any luxury World traveller. If someone provides what I want, I will pay for it. The staff are overall very good and friendly. Most of them have worked here for years, which usually means great service and loyalty. But I feel they are all a bit tired of doing the same thing and need some kind of a boost. Come on management, do your staff feedback and act on it. If this hotel has a full refurbishment to a high standard, a rebrand and increase the charge to reflect the new services we would return. If not, I assume it is happy hosting for the middle range tourist budget. Read less
