Beautiful room with terrasse and direct access to the beach. Very comfortable bed and good bathroom. Restaurants were good too and it was lovely to be able to have a cold beer by the fire in the evening. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

We planned an engagement ceremony at Preskil Hotel in mid July 2024. This remains a memorable experience about the event. We contacted the Events Management of the Hotel and got all required information from Jennie Wong, very responsive, helpful and provided detailed information about the planning and logistics required for our event. Thank you Jennie, a special mention goes out to you and those 2 times, I came to the hotel to seek information/details about the event without scheduling a meeting, you were still very welcoming and very professional. Also a big shout out to the restaurant staff Priscilla, very friendly, welcoming and providing quality service to us. Areas of improvement from a client POV: coordination between staffs and security guards at check point which at time can be too much time consuming and having extensive investigation/checks despite we informed of the number of guests prior our arrival and arrangement of parking slots. Improving the quality of the menu at the buffet at the Mosaic restaurant given it is the main restaurant (which is very mainstream and requring revamping the menu (in terms of freshness of food, variety and taste). I would recommend people to try Preskil hotel for the view, pleasant staffs and lively environment. Read less

We had a lovely weekend and the service was on point. A variety of food for all meals as well as a kid corner. A big thank you to the team mainly Mr Krishna (the resident manager) for the goodies and treats, Mr Arvesh for the very clean room, Mr Cliff from 1810 bar for the nice cocktails and so many more. Special thanks to the Kids Club staff for taking good care of my daughter. She really enjoyed herself and will keep good memories. Cherry on the pie was the beautiful Arab show on Saturday night which is uncommon for hotels in Mauritius where we mostly have Sega shows. Keep up the good work 👏 Read less

We stayed here after staying at a local 5 star resort a few days before and thus had higher standards. Really disappointed with the breakfast and lunch buffet, hardly many food options and seemed very messy appearance overall. Service was also subpar from the staff who all look exhausted and probably need a break! We asked for an iron to the room and were told they do not provide irons at the resort but can pay for our clothing item to be ironed. This is a con and why would I let someone iron a very expensive outfit with the potential to ruin it vs ironing it myself! The hotel we stayed at before on the east of the island that was5 star readily provided us with an ironing board and iron, so this was very disappointing. The room was nice and clean. Not many towels provided in the bathroom though. We did use the spa for a head and shoulders massage which was exceptional. The spa staff were great and I do recommend, alongside the waterspouts team very friendly! Probably would not be coming back to stay any time soon as plenty other nicer resorts on the island that provide an iron! Read less
