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 arrived after our 12 hour air flight to a very warm welcome. We were celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary (coral) so a very appropriate venue being surrounded by the reef. This was our 3rd stay at Long Beach so knew what we had to look forward to. After a couple of miscommunications we were finally accommodated in a beautiful room. Our maid Babita (hope I spelt that correctly) was just wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. We felt so very spoilt with little notes and flowers and beautiful towel/flower decors. They work so hard in the background to make our holiday so delightful. I would like also to say a big thank you to Guest Relations who were always available and listened to any problems and arranged anything that was needed. Our waitresses in the Buffet for breakfast Anastasia, Samia & Celine were always attentive and actually pre-empted most times arriving with our chosen choice of drink. Always in good humour. The staff at Tides Restaurant where we ate our lunch most days were also exceptional. Gayetree & Shannon stand out. The Beach Manager Muddoo was always around and speaking with guests to make sure all was well and they were being well looked after. So helpful if you needed any information and very approachable. Last but not least the bar staff at Shores were fantastic and always making sure people were attended to. I didn’t sadly get names but to be fair they were all excellent and worked as a great team. We went to Sapori the Italian restaurant a few times and the food and service again was 5 star. We also attended a Cocktail Party thrown for guests to mingle and had the please of speaking to Christian Jaquier the hotel manager. So nice to hear that he appreciated us being customers who had returned. We did say this was due to the fantastic service and wonderful staff. The hotel itself is beautiful and set in gorgeous grounds. The fact that it sits beside a white sandy beach is again a big draw for us. Please keep up the good work everyone. It’s hard to attain 5 stars but even harder to keep attaining what 5 stars stand for. Customers whether old or new should always be made to feel appreciated and never taken for granted. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Look forward to hopefully visiting again soon and seeing lots of friendly families faces. I understand that they may be refurbishing soon which is always good to hear as obviously different areas can soon become tired looking with so many visitors travelling through. The bedrooms are so well thought out and designed so I hope they don’t change too much there other than a freshen up. Thank thou to all at Long Beach for a wonderful and memorable Coral Anniversary from both myself and my husband Roy. Read less

I have to start my review by mentioning the staff before the hotel, it’s the staff who made this the greatest holiday we’ve ever had, the fact the hotel is also incredible is a bonus! Dolores went above and beyond to make this trip perfect for us, we can’t thank you enough, the hotel wouldn’t be the same without you. Every member of staff is so polite and happy, placing a hand over their heart when they greet you which I just absolutely love. Special mention to Krishna, Ven and Cynthia who looked after us every day without fail. And a very special mention to Elvis and Vicky. Elvis took such great care of us in the restaurants, always making us laugh and making sure we were being looked after. And Vicky who went that extra mile to look after us in Shores Bar, always taking the time to talk to us every day. The hotel is beautifully clean and well equipped, the restaurants offer the most incredible food to suit everyone’s needs. This really is the place to come for a memorable holiday, it’s certainly been our holiday of a lifetime. Traveler tip - Ile Aux Cerfs You HAVE to visit this island, and long beach couldn’t make it any easier to do so. We went early which I strongly advise, left the hotel at about 8:30am. You book a taxi at reception costs 2300 rupees return, ask them to take you to long beach’s jetty, you board a small shared boat which is free of charge as you stay at long beach, make the quick 10 minute journey on calm waters to the island. The island is then yours to discover, I highly recommend contacting Steeven TI Moustik Tour Ltd, a worker of the island mentioned the option of getting a private boat to visit the local water falls with Steeven and do some snorkelling, best money we spent as it gave us a 2 hour private experience. When you’re ready to come back you simply hop on the boat back to the jetty, and get a taxi Read less
