The Ravenala Attitude

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

All-suite and all-inclusive, the Ravenala Attitude is styled in contemporary, colonial and tropical hues. With an open-plan, no boundaries design, the restaurants and bars flow seamlessly towards the pool, gardens and beach beyond. But it’s not all about appearances — it goes deeper. Its ‘Culinary Voyage’ takes you from Asia to Italy in nine restaurants, seven of which you can sample as part of your All-Inclusive package. You can tuck into 'Granmamas' Mauritian fare at Kot Nou, street-food takeaways on the beach at Taba-J, and enjoy the romance of the floating Riviera restaurant. The kids' clubs provide various fun activities, whilst the Sport Village and Boat House offer endless diversions, from kayaking along Rivière Citron to riverbank yoga. And the hotel's ‘Otentik’ concept gives you a true insight into Mauritius, in cookery classes, local music, a self-guided tours app, and a weekly ‘Otentik Bazar’, with all profits from the ‘made in Mauritius’ goodies going to the craftspeople. You can even dine on ‘Otentik Dinners’ with locals in their homes. This charming resort is great for families, with large rooms and a range of activities, whilst couples will love staying in the Executive Seafront Adult Suites in the adults-only section.

We have just returned from a 2 weeks stay in the Ravenala Attitude. We had a ground floor room overlooking the pool, which we requested when booking via TUI. Room was very spacious and fully equipped, however I would recommend taking a hairdryer if you have long hair! There's no iron in the room, but you can request it and they will deliver it to your room free of charge. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Food was great in all restaurants, especially the O Beach and the Bistrot. We have also had a dinner in two other restaurants which are not included in the All Inclusive package (The Lime and The Riviera). These two serve mainly seafood. The Lime has a set 5-course dinner and was very reasonably prices (approx. £30 per person). In The Riviera restaurant we had a whole lobster and a seafood platter, and the food was superb, and had a very romantic spot overlooking the river. All bars serve a range of various drinks and they will make most of the drinks if you ask. Most of the drinks are served in a proper glass. The Boat House offers several activities; kayaking, paddle boarding and even a snorkelling trip to the local reef. Well-equipped gym with weights and cardio machines, 2 tennis courts and 2 table tennis tables. The hotel was at ~92% capacity when we were there, but it did not feel overcrowded. We would always find a nice spot on the beach or by the pool. The pool has no music apart from the aqua gym time. You do need to get up if you want a drink, the staff keep checking if you need anything. I really like the seating area next to the pool bar, where we used to play games or read a book. The only downside was the entertainment in the evenings, mainly DJ music. However, we enjoyed one live singer who was great! The entertainment during the day was good, they were always trying to engage people and would ask guests to participate in the activities like volleyball, aqua gym etc. The staff members were amazing, very friendly and helpful. They would always answer your questions and try to resolve any issues. As part of the All Inclusive, you can go to the Zilwa or Lagoon Attitude hotel for a day. We decided to go to the Lagoon and also had a great time there! I can definitely recommend the hotel! You will have the best time! Read less

We had a great stay here in a beachfront adult suite - an amazing view, the rooms are large and well appointed and very well situated on the hotel site. You have your own allocated beach beds and area which was heaven and sooooo comfy! We had a slight problem with maintenance and the air conditioning, but they went above and beyond in sorting everything out - their customer service really is outstanding. Food choice and restaurants are superb. This was our first all inclusive and it exceeded our expectations. Cocktails and drinks are first class and the beach service in the adult area was faultless. It is slightly tricky booking the restaurants on arrival as they are all really busy, but they allocate you a different one on each day which mixes it up and they are all so different it's exciting to try them all. Lunches are also fantastic and the restaurants have different menus ( not all are open for lunch) Even the buffet had great choices, which we thought might be mediocre - but we had some beautiful food here too. Tonnes of free included watersports and activities. Brilliant and well equipped sports village. An abundance of social areas and seating with lovely views and furnishings. Staff are excellent and very friendly. Not much in the way of entertainment, music and local dancers occasionally - but we preferred a low key vibe and the evenings tend to revolve and food and socialising in the bar areas. There is no local village or town to walk to from the hotel, you are in a "hotel" part of the island, but there are plenty of taxis there all the time if you fancy a trip out. ( The hotel have a detailed price list). You can have a full day taxi tour around the sights for around £80 which was great. Driver was very informative and friendly, got out at stops to guide us and took us to lots of sights. We loved our stay here Read less

I stayed in a room here and I would like to share my very positive experience! The room was excellent and much better than I had expected. What made the biggest difference was the staff team - they were extremely helpful and very professional, always ready to help with anything they could. I felt really welcome and comfortable throughout my stay. All the details were clear, and the team did everything possible to ensure that everything was perfect. There were also opportunities to meet people from all over the world and enjoy drinks in pleasant company. The experience was absolutely amazing and really worth recommending. A big thank you to the team for making this stay a very memorable one! Shout out to Kevin the gym guy! Such a positive and motivating vibe ! Always bringing the fun to the hotel really made my day! Andrew, Aysuh, kishan and there was one other guy too ! They all performed outstanding service along the beach! Always severing drinks consistently and asking if we needed anything else, very friendly and top tier ! Will be missed ! Very classy guys! The restaurant along the beach! Amazing ! So lovely to have the sand between your toes when you’re having lunch! Chef cooks amazingly ! The sushi was 10/10, very filling too ! Generous sizes ! The waiters were professional and always one step ahead, 5 star service! There was one male who delivered exceptional service but I forgot his name ! But I’m sure if he heard my name or surname he’ll remember us😂👍🏽 or the Italian guy 😂 he should remember that. Shout out to Sharda for her amazing polite and professional service! Always willing to help and always made sure everything was immaculate! Couldn’t have been done without her. Thank you to all the management team, outstanding! Thank you alessandro! Will be back again ! Read less
