The hotel

The Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius lies in stunning tropical gardens along the Turtle Bay Marine Park. Many guests return again and again to enjoy its array of activities, many of which are included in your All Inclusive package, or to simply relax by the pool or on the beautiful beach. Discover the resort's wealth of dining options, from international buffet to 'feet in the sand'-style dining, Asian delicacies, and traditional cuisine. La Marée Beach Restaurant is the place for to enjoy delicious Mediterranean dishes on the beach as the sun goes down. For a special treat, indulge in a meal at LaKaz Kreol, a Mauritian family-style restaurant seating just 10 people, or visit the hotel's Château Mon Désir, a colonial-style mansion overlooking the historic ruins of Balaclava and the Citron River, or experience the new brasserie style restaurant set inside historical ruins. Visit the horses at the hotel's wonderful equestrian centre — and be sure to stop by the giant tortoise park on your way. There is also a superb spa at the hotel with lovely gardens, where you can take in the natural sounds of paradise as you relax in the tranquillity area behind the specially-made waterfall… heaven.

Our 4th visit to this wonderful resort and we can say nothing but good things about the hotel itself, the location, the food and choice of restaurants and most importantly all the frienly and highly efficient staff; especially Ishwaree, Sarita, Fabrice and Rakesh at the wonderful La Mare beach restaurant, and the amazing Jay whose service and attention on the beach is second to none! Jay is supported perfectly by the delightful Bachoo. On arrival and during our stay the welcoming and friendly front of house staff continue to make our stay so pleasurable. Special mention of Cherina, Vemah and Chiara who go out of their way to welcome us back and look after our every need. We must also mention two other long standing members of staff in the Belle Vue restaurant: the charming Vimla and Dannette. All of this super team is overseen by Kavita and ultimately where the buck stops with charmingly reassuring Antje. We'll definitely be back! Read less

Our fourth visit to this special hotel, and the fifth is being booked today. On arrival we were welcomed by a smiling Dhroov, who took our luggage to reception for check in. When checking in we were offered a refreshing cold drink and a perfumed towel. Kavita welcomed us back and ensured that the check in process was going well. Dhroov and Sanjeev are always available to help in any way that they can and don't understand if you want to walk rather have them give you a lift in one of the club cars to your destination within the hotel estate. A quick shower and change and we were on the way to the beach. As we had booked a suite we had a place on the reserved beach and received the welcome of a long lost friend from Jay, the beach bar steward. Jay is ably assisted on the beach by Bachoo and Dinesh, and, like all of the staff, they deal with any request with a smile and ‘can do’ attitude. We had breakfast and lunch most days at La Maree, where Chef Zubash and his team of assistant chefs and kitchen staff provide wonderful, freshly cooked, meals. The waiting staff, led by Ishwaree and Fabrice, of Rakesh, Ashi, Vydia, Sahrita, Diksha and Avinash, with other staff from the other restaurants when needed, soon learn your likes and dislikes and ensure that time spent in La Maree is enjoyable. Most evenings we had drinks at the La Maree bar where Naresh and Niche are happy to mix drinks to your preferred taste, even when the mix sounds somewhat left field to some traditionalists. We enjoyed, with our package, a number of meals at Anno 1743 and Le Banyan. Paulo, Rico and Afee at Le Banyan ensured that the Asian cuisine was served in a timely but un-rushed way. Veeran at the Anno restaurant has the biggest smile of all of the staff and his service matched his smile. Anno 1743 also has two bars; the Nest, too many steps for us to go up there this year, and the distillery. Verun, at the distillery, is highly knowledgeable about their very extensive range of Rum, Whisky and Gin. We arranged a tasting of Premium Rum and Whisky. Wow. It was great fun looking at the bottle prices of some of the bottles available. Just looking mind! All of the restaurants and bars that we visited offer their own ‘something special’. But for ‘special, special’ you must go to the Chateau Mon Desir. We had Sunday Brunch and two dinners there. Govine and Sachin look after their guests with grace and traditional etiquette. When the food is served it looks good enough to put in an art gallery and the service itself is almost theatrical. The gentle, live piano playing just adds to the ambience. The hotel has a number of taxi’s available. We used Baby as our driver. She will take you to a single destination or give you a tour of some of the sites. We found this great as we can see things at our pace. The Spa was used extensively and the service provided by Aisha, Natasha, Amalia, Rhianna, Ravi and Fanny was always exquisite. The range of treatments available ensures that there is something for everyone. All of the staff, from Managers and Directors Mr Ossentjuk, Antje, Devan and Kavita, to all of the staff keeping the beaches, grounds, rooms and corridors tidy and clean, are always ready with a smile and warm greeting. We look forward to returning to our ‘second home’ next year to be spoilt once again. Our thanks to everyone at Maritim Resort and Spa, Mauritius. Read less

The Maritim hotel is ideally located on the beach in a beautiful bay . The staff were so smiley and friendly, the grounds are just beautiful with wonderful Banyan trees. There are a few restaurants as well as the buffet, (most are payable- not in the AI) but the La Maree on the beach for lunch is included and it was perfect. There are a few members of staff that stood out for us and can’t remember all of the names , but Molly and Sandela in the buffet restaurant and Sanjeve in the foyer ready to help with anything. And not forgetting Jay on the suite beach, who works very hard to give you a great experience. Read less

I understand this review might seem over the top, but it is truly the way I see it and feel about my experience there. I visited my best friend for the past 3 weeks and went to this hotel on several occasions. The location is absolutely perfect. It has a wonderful property which is properly taken care of (unlike some other 5-star properties I've seen). After entering the gate you have a a long driveway through the garden to the hotel which actually makes the location very peaceful away from the road. The beach is one of the nicest hotel beaches I have seen until now with an all-time perfect view of the sunsets. I tried several restaurants, such as Anno (incl. The Distillery), La Marée on the beach and La Kaz (local cuisine). The food was of very good quality and tasted very well. Also the service was friendly, attentive and caring. Of course concerning specific knowledge there is always room for improvement. It would be wrong to say they knew absolutely everything, but that is not my expectation either. If they did not know the answer they will try to find out and will get back to you and that is what I expect. Service in the beach is just the same. It is quite hot at this time of year so I drank more than usual (water 😉) and not once did i need to ask for more. I just came. I also went on the hotel's glass bottom boat to look at the corals and took an hour on a paddle boat. Great fun. The reception was always very friendly and helpful. Being new I didn't know my way around and I was always greeted before actually standing at the desk. They saw me coming and usually greeted at a distance of 3-5m. Nothing wrong with that. As not being a guest in the hotel I paid the normal prices, which I thought to be fair for a 5-star hotel. It's not cheap, but it isn't too expensive either and in a hotel like this I don't expect it to be cheap. To be honest, I actually expected more 😅. Absolutely a place i would recommend and I will go again next year, when I visit my friend again. Read less
