Heartiest thanks to Nuvin and the entire team for the warm welcoming and excellent service provided by the food and beverage team. Pristine beach, immaculate pool & succulent culinary experience - we can't asking for more! Will be a great pleasure to return.

We have just returned from a fabulous week at Preskil. This hotel is set in the most beautiful location, with warm, shallow waters that are always flat calm thanks to the reef surrounding the bay. It is also only 15 minutes from the airport. We had a family room, which had a separate room for our daughter - a great bonus which usually you’d have… Read more
We have just returned from a fabulous week at Preskil. This hotel is set in the most beautiful location, with warm, shallow waters that are always flat calm thanks to the reef surrounding the bay. It is also only 15 minutes from the airport. We had a family room, which had a separate room for our daughter - a great bonus which usually you’d have to pay a significant premium for. It was my daughter’s birthday whilst we were there and when the cleaners noticed her decorations/cards, they added some extra decor to her room, which was a lovely touch. The staff are all friendly and helpful, however service at the bars/restaurants can be a bit hit and miss - on some occasions it took a very long time to be served (although the view helped to pass the time). We were hoping for Mauritian food, but the restaurants and buffet served mostly European food. Meals and cocktails at the Mosaic and 1820 restaurants were great, but the buffet was disappointing (so much so that we avoided it after the first night). Would highly recommend going on a speed boat trip, with the guys who can be found next to the watersport hut on the beach. Read less

I had been to Preskil to celebrate my son’s 3rd birthday. We were 12 adults and 2 kids. Overall, the experience was okay and I would rate this day 6 on 10. We loved the Kids Club Team who added a special touch to this day with Tikoulou. However we were not happy with the food. To elaborate, we had taken the day package - Rs 3,000 (which… Read more
I had been to Preskil to celebrate my son’s 3rd birthday. We were 12 adults and 2 kids. Overall, the experience was okay and I would rate this day 6 on 10. We loved the Kids Club Team who added a special touch to this day with Tikoulou. However we were not happy with the food. To elaborate, we had taken the day package - Rs 3,000 (which includes lunch, tea time and all inclusive drinks + access to mini club and the swimming pool) water sports not included. We were offered the luggage room to store our bags and changing room. We were warmly greeted by the staffs and were offered welcome drinks and snacks. The lunch buffet lacks authenticity and variety. It is very limited in terms of choice and offerings. It was not appealing. I took the reviews of my guests and the same comments were shared, food was not great. Same for tea time, the same chocolate cake served for dessert- lunch was on the buffet again + 2 mauritian traditional cakes and pancakes and that’s it. I asked for bread & butter, the lady making the pancake said no we don’t have it. My son who’s a toddler hardly eats and wanted bread and butter and it’s sad that staffs are not trained to go beyond their limit and meet guests expectations.(it was a basic request). Besides, all was perfect. Thank you Read less

Highly recommend this hotel resort for a special and comfortable stay. It’s a beautiful place for chilling or for exploring all that Mauritius has to offer! Being located right on the beach was fantastic - it was just a short walk to swim in the sparkling sea or relax on a sun lounger. The room was spacious and well equipped, the hotel team were so friendly and helpful and the dining options were varied, good quality and generous. Thanks so much to Mr Teelwah the general manager, Krishna the resident manager, Alain, Mackline and the whole team for your work to make the holiday a relaxing and enjoyable one. Read less
