Tropical Attitude

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

Those torn between ‘contemporary chic’ and ‘utterly authentic’ needn’t choose – after a radical revamp, Tropical Attitude promises both. All bold geometric design and luxe natural touches, this adults-only retreat gives grownups that boutique hotel feel and a genuine Mauritian experience. It starts with its location – facing a turquoise lagoon, just a free shuttle ride from the beautiful beaches at Ile aux Cerfs, it’s near the traditional fishing village of Trou d’Eau Douce. And it continues with its attitude – with real Mauritius found everywhere from its spa treatments to its experiences, including cookery lessons, a weekly ‘Made in Mauritius’ market, and home-cooked dinners at local families’ homes. Dining at Tropical Attitude is equally authentic, whether you’re at its intimate Kot Nou restaurant (which seats just 20 guests), tucking into Mauritian street food from TABA-j, or taking one of its picnic baskets over to Ile aux Cerfs. Book into one of the newer villas to enjoy a private pool all to yourselves, perfect for a special occasion.

The apartment we got have a fantastic view out of the green blue ocean. We asked for an extra madras’s as my partner have a problem with his back. They immediately arranged this. There was a top 100 service with both cleaning, giving us information regarding tourists activities. If you prefer personally service in a small Hotel this is really to recommend 👌 We were 2 weeks with our 4 friends and got full service all time. The Hotel offer the guest a free boat trip to an island that have water activities, sun beds and a bar/restaurant. If you prefers more alone time on the beach you have a nice beach 5 minutes from the Hotel. We have half board and we enjoy the food every morning and evening. Very various and delicious food, inspired from different kitchens around the world. You can also booked the barbecue evening with extra tasty meals. We can really recommend this. They also offer cooking lessons for the guest. We have the pleasure to meet Vikarsh, the Sous Chef. He made a delicious fishing dish when our friend went fishing.🎣 We booked the taxi driver forGrand Bassin, Alexandra Falls, Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark. The taxi driver is really your private guide so take your chances doing this! If you want to make memories on a very special place we can really recommend this Hotel. We enjoyed every single moment ❤️🇲🇺 Love from the swedes 🇸🇪 Read less

It is hard to write down exactly how amazing our stay at Tropical Attitude was, but the food, staff and location were the highlights. Firstly, we arrived around 9am and we expected to not be able to check in till the afternoon, however, we were informed that there was an available private villa in which we could stay in for our first night, which we only had to pay £60 to stay in. It was a no brainer after our long flight and the villa was beautiful. The transition to our other room the next day was smooth as our luggage was moved for us as we were out for the day. The room had amazing sea views and had everything you needed. Deepa kept our room clean and loved her fun towel creatures! By all means, there is not the biggest choice of food, however the quality and taste makes up for this, along with the amazing service. Especially from Arvin. Not only did he care about your food experience but your stay and holiday in general, he advised us on what to do during our days out and was one of the nicest people you will ever meet. The curries and grilled fish are to die for. The a la carte lunch is also a great change to buffet for breakfast and dinner. The beach BBQ was also amazing. The free boat to Ile aux cerf is a must, you can find a quiet spot and relax all day, either take a packed lunch from the hotel or there is food available there. Also, there is a beach a 5 minute walk from the hotel which was always extremely quiet. We hope to return in the future and would not want to stay anywhere else! Read less
