The hotel

Completely renovated in 2017, this innovative resort has been designed by Kelly Hoppen and delivers an eclectic mix of effortless sophistication and relaxed informality, as well as signature LUX* touches. In a peaceful location, rooms overlook the triple-bay beaches and calm lagoon. There are beautiful gardens to wander in; stopping awhile to lounge on beanbags and hammocks dotted beneath coconut, banyan and filao trees. There are land and water sports galore, plus a world-class golf course nearby and bikes for exploring tropical hillsides or the local markets and village of Cap Malheureux. The LUX* Me Spa is a true haven, offering a range of indulgent treatments as well as yoga and dynamic exercise classes. Dining-wise, you’ll be spoilt for choice, with delicious island-inspired and international dishes. Chat to the chef and watch your meal being created at The Palm Court, savour the cultures of Peru at INTI and visit Under the Banyan for mouthwatering burgers, wood-smoked meats and inventive cocktails at the French Kiss Bar.

I'm currently sat by the pool at Lux Grande Gaube. I've decided to write the review part way through my holiday as if I write whilst immersed in the hotel, it will be accurate and honest, as well as giving me something to do whilst waiting for my husband 🤷‍♀️ The hotel is truly stunning. The entrance is like something out of a movie, then as you walk through, you're greeted with a stunning beach. Our 1st impressions were excellent, the staff can't do enough for you. We were upgraded to a family room as we are travelling with our toddler. My in laws were upgraded to a wellness suite however we'd planned on them looking after our daughter for a night, so this caused some issues. Without any hesitation, we then found they had been upgraded to another room, with a bed for our daughter in. Amazing. Thank you! We have spent each day around the pool, mainly because it's so relaxed and everything is brought to you. Food, drinks etc. I'm not a lounge around the pool type, but have found myself doing that very thing! Theres plenty of sun beds, chill out music, shade when you want it. Perfect. We have so far eaten in the buffet and beach rouge. The buffet is exceptional, if you can't find something you like there, you won't find it anywhere. Only minus is the slow service at times but the staff are clearly working very hard. Beach rouge has a small menu and I wasn't sure about it at 1st..... until I had the gnocci. Again, exceptional. Big shout out to the staff in beach rouge, in particular the man in the red shirt (sorry, didn't catch his name), genuinly fantastic service. Breakfast has something for everyone too, very attentive staff and one of the managers who keeps trying to engage with my antisocial daughter. I'm really impressed that he keeps being so kind to her, despite her turning away, we really do appreciate that as she's yet to come out of her shell. We've had a wander to the adults only area which again, was stunning. Really nice chilled out vibe. Ansh in the French kiss bar was really helpful, giving us local advice and making gorgeous cocktails. He's an asset to this hotel. But our biggest shout out has to be the night manager. He has remembered us from the 1st night, makes an effort to speak to us and help us with anything we need. He is a joy to speak to and we can't thank him enough for being so helpful. There's not really anything bad I can say about this hotel, just a few tips - book the restaurants ASAP, we can't get booked in to bodrum or creole until the last 2 nights. The hotel will provide push chairs on request, so no need to lug one through the airport. Download the app so you know what's on, where an when. Bring your own kids toys for the pool. The kids area is quite far away, whilst there's plenty there for kids, I prefer to have my daughter with me and play in the pool. There's no kids stuff at all and not a great deal in the shop (which is extortionate btw!) But luckily we brought a bucket and spade, which I very nearly didn't do! There's also nothing on at night for kids, just a little bit more music would make a huge difference. (The kids club have things on, but when we went to an event through the day, we were the only ones there, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be great for her or us) We are planning on trying out the kayaks this afternoon which looks great and a trip to grand bay tomorrow which is only 15 minutes away. Then we move on to Lux* Le Morne on Monday. I really hope the next hotel is as good, as they have some tough competition albeit the same company 😊 Thank you Lux Grande Gaube for a great stay so far!

One of the best resort experiences I’ve ever had. The resort itself is absolutely stunning, but what truly made my stay special was the exceptional hospitality from the staff. Akshay and Rupesh went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed—and more. Reena did an incredible job setting up a beautiful in-room decor to help me celebrate my parents' anniversary. Chef Ramen was extremely accommodating with our dietary restrictions and allergies, ensuring we had always had a fantastic dining experience. Dhiksha and Chef Bilal at Blue Bodrum were also outstanding, making our meal unforgettable. Additionally, Giany, Christopher, and Jonathan were incredibly attentive, always making sure we were enjoying our stay to the fullest. Read less

I went with my husband for our honeymoon at the beginning of November. We had an amazing time at LUX Grand Gaube- the experience was incredible. I would visit this resort again and again and certainly plan to return. I want to thank all of the staff who made our stay so memorable. The staff are incredible- so genuine and kind. They all put a lot of effort into making you feel special from the point you arrive to the time you leave. I want to give a special thanks to Sylvano, who was a barista at Cafe Lux, who was so sweet when we were departing. Also, Yavesh ( I hope I am writing this correctly), who helped us take some amazing photographs and gave us some amazing tips of places to visit on the island. Also, special thanks to Reedoo- the beach manager. You and the beach staff were so attentive and I loved the cooling mist to make a wish! The chefs were amazing, the receptionists fantastic, everyone looked amazing in their beautiful uniforms- everybody was so polite. I really was so impressed, even more than the natural beauty of the resort was the beauty of the staff of LGG. We met the head manager on arrival who was very charming and gracious and made us feel at home right away. The room was beautiful- we had a room overlooking the sea with a balcony and woke up everyday to paradise. I'm very keen on cleanliness and the room was kept immaculate and cleaned daily. The shower was large, warm and powerful and the decorations equally lovely. The beach on the property is very clean and the water is very warm and peaceful. There are plenty of activities to join in with. The food is delicious, very well presented, very clean handling of food. Lots of choice for the breakfast, which is superb- you have to make an effort to make sure you try a bit of everything during your stay! The grounds are immaculate- the gardeners do a wonderful job with the landscaping. The spa is stunning, the massage is incredible. If you are on honeymoon and notify in advance you can get a discount on massage treatment at the spa. In all honesty, there were more activities that we could have participated in on the property, because the staff have literally thought of EVERYTHING. There have been no oversights or omissions in the design and planning of Lux Grand Gaube, this is a world class experience. Even when we left there were facilities after checking out of your room, which meant you could stay on the beach and have a place to shower and change as you need. In general, having a car on the island was useful as it meant we could get around with no hassle. Please visit the Grand Baie area and there is a very beautiful beach to watch sunset at Mont Choisy. You will love it, this place is 10/10!! Also, we loved the bands and musical guests who played- there was a variety of creole music and it was fun to get involved. Also, wanted to commend the young men who were entertainment co-ordinators during the evenings and also the pool exercise. They were very great asset to the hotel. I also have to say the hotel has a lot of young staff who were very professional, which was so lovely and welcoming. You will have no regrets, only happiness at Lux Grand Gaube. Cannot wait to go come back soon! Read less

Such an amazing moment @ Lux Grand Gaube. Thank you to the Chef Miras and his team for making each breakfast/ lunch and dinner time so special. The Divali menu and decoration was just amazing. Thank you to the F&B manager and Team for their meticulous attention throughout our stay. Special thanks to Viresh for his excellent service on the beach. Great idea to have someone on the beach giving special attention to the clients by proposing a face mist and cleaning their sunglasses. Thank you to give this service with a smile and your good vibe. Hopefully to come back soon Take care Read less
