Resorts in Mauritius

"I recently stayed at the Solana Beach Resort during my trip to Mauritius and wanted to share a balanced look at the highlights and a couple of unexpected drawbacks of my stay. The Highlights: Comfort & Tranquility The Room: We stayed in the Junior Suite Sea View, and it did not disappoint. The room was incredibly spacious, clean, and came equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Wake up to the sea view was a major plus. Location: Situated near Belle Mare on the eastern coast of Mauritius, the resort is in a very calm, quiet, and peaceful area. If you are looking to disconnect and relax, this location is ideal. Activities & Amenities: The resort has its own spa and offers fantastic sea excursions right from the property. We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary water activities, including the glass-bottom boat, snorkeling, and paddle boating. The Food & Restaurants: The dining options were a definite highlight of our stay. The main restaurant, Cinnamon, serves an overall good buffet for both breakfast and dinner, featuring a great variety of multiple cuisines including Mauritian, Indian, and Western dishes. Additionally, the resort features another on-property restaurant focused on fine dining that serves excellent Italian cuisine. The Drawbacks: Isolation & Nickle-and-Diming Quiet Nights: Because the resort is far from the main city centers, there is absolutely no local market or nightlife/entertainment nearby. Once the sun goes down, the property becomes very silent. This is perfect for couples or relaxation, but worth noting if you prefer a bit of evening energy. The Water Policy (A Major Disappointment): This was the biggest letdown of our stay. The resort provides 2 complimentary bottles of water daily, but charges for any extra bottles you need in the room. Worse yet, water is chargeable during dinner. Having traveled to almost 40+ countries, this is the very first time I have ever encountered a resort charging for standard table water during a dinner service. For a resort of this caliber, charging for basic drinking water feels incredibly cheap and dampens the overall guest experience."

"Aside from the price, there's nothing wrong with it. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly team and offered welcome drinks. The host then took us on a tour, explaining the various facilities, the restaurants, and the dress code. We were given complimentary rum punch in our room, and coffee and tea were provided free of charge. Because our flight wasn't until 11 PM, and it was off-season, we asked the front desk, and they gave us a free late checkout until 6 PM. The service was impeccable. If you were wondering around the hotel, a staff member would come and ask if you needed any assistance. The only downside was that it was winter, and the wind was strong, so many sea activities were canceled. However, this didn't affect the beautiful scenery at all. In the morning, we were treated to a stunning sunrise."

"I would recommend this hotel. The staff are incredibly attentive, which is really pleasant. I spent a week in a room with a private pool, and it was absolutely fantastic. The hotel restaurant is very good, and the breakfast is super comprehensive with plenty of choices. The spa is also very good. It's a shame the gym isn't more visible, though."

"The leak in the washbasin in the room I stayed in on the first night reflected that the front desk upgraded us to a sea view suite the next day. The hotel staff was warm and thoughtful. We were very satisfied and would recommend friends to live."

"The hotel is in the north, and the airport is in the south (a bit dizzy), 50 minutes drive from the airport. There are hotels on the beach. This French hotel is 3 stars locally. The hotel is not big but still beautiful. If you have time, you can spend a day in the hotel. The hotel is very private. There is a supermarket on the left and restaurants and some shops on the right. The clothes sold are at tourist prices. Go out on the right, near the sea, and there is a police station. Around 15 from Port Louis The service staff are good, the breakfast is full but there are really few things... Speaking French has an advantage over English. There is a 20% discount for spa reservations 48 hours in advance, and helicopters can also be booked. The hotel does not provide slippers and toothbrushes, please bring your own, as well as adapters. When checking out on the 7th, the front desk will charge 160 and say that the two bottles of water in the room are chargeable. Damn, the little brother who checked in clearly said that it is free. There are tea bags and coffee bags next to it. What do you label? No, the small bottle of water sells for 10 rupees and you charge 80? ? ? I was anxious to wait for my friend to take me to the airport without going to talk. In short, friends who go to Maoqiu pay special attention to the tips. People in restaurants and supermarkets should pay attention to it. There are more Chinese people. Tips are 1-2 US dollars per day. If you encounter a service staff who does not say hello to deduct the tip in advance, you will become a habit that Chinese people are stupid."

"A good hotel with a beautiful and well-designed area. A spacious beach where turtles swim. Breakfast is quite uniform, but there is everything.  Convenient entrance to water, beach clean. You can take a cayak for rent free. Defects: lunch and dinner are expensive if not all on. The hotel is quite old.  In general, we liked: A picturesque beach, a benign staff, lucky to see turtles in the ocean."

"The atmosphere of the hotel is very good, warm and warm and many guests. But the room was really old, the door was painted on a wooden board, and the door card was demagnetized every day. The parking lot is too small, only stop at the road every time, the overall facilities are old, the breakfast is very good"

"The hotel has its own beach, which is great. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the check-in wait was too long, even though there weren't many guests checking in at the time. The restaurant was very crowded, but the food selection was limited and the taste was average; you could just fill your stomach. The streetlights inside the hotel were insufficient at night, making it quite dark."

"Excellent hotel, perfectly located near one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius. The value for money is superb, with a wide variety of good quality food. The welcome is warm and family-like, which makes the stay even more pleasant. We highly recommend this place for a wonderful holiday in Mauritius."

"The hotel is really nice and big. The food is of goos quality and the staff very professsional and welcoming particularly at the BEACH GRILL and MAIN POOL. If you're looking for peace and wellness it's the perfect place. However if you want fun and dancing that's not the atmosphere of the hotel."
