It was a great experience with 2 nice pools and very good food. However the best thing about the hotel was the teens club. The members of staff (Anjana, Atish, Andrew, Julien, Lovyn, Jerry, Guillaume, West) were very nice and made sure me and my brother had a great time.

The members of staff (Anjana, Atish, Andrew, Julien, Lovyn, Jerry, Guillaume, West) were very nice and made sure me and my brother had a great time. They did various activities such as volleyball, table tennis, water polo, etc… In the evening, they ate dinner with the teenagers and made a campfire or played games with them. I would totally recommend a stay at Sugar Beach especially if you have teenagers that often get bored during vacations. Read less

Beautiful setting with well maintained grounds. Definitely not 5 star! Not even close Pool service from Faizel and Naasir was excellent but the rest of the staff and service was extremely poor. Overall staff was not warm and welcoming as we have experienced at other resorts in Mauritius. Concierge is absolutely useless, they send you from one person to the next and cannot actually help arrange anything. They are happy to send you contact details to arrange things yourself- not the point of a concierge. Rooms are sparkling on arrival however not cleaned properly throughout the stay. Games area is in a shocking state, kids club smelt of urine however the staff there were friendly. Broken entry door in our room on arrival and not repaired after multiple requests throughout the week. Limited food options at restaurants. Citronella restaurant service specifically is shocking- constant begging for drinks and pretty much everything. Very disappointed. This was a very special trip for my Dad’s 70th. Not my first time in Mauritius and this was certainly the worst experience. The staff specifically need a wake up call- rude and completely unhelpful. Read less
