We stayed at the Radission Blu Poste Lafayette Resort and Spa. On arrival at the hotel we were greeted and felt welcomed, had to wait for our room as wasn't ready until 2pm but this was not an issue as we arrived early at the hotel due to thr flight time. The room was spacious and clean with a seaview, shower water was luke warm which we did report but issue still remained, ants in room and drainage smell towards end of holiday - issues reported and maintenance were quick to resolve. Food quality was okay not the best we have had at an all-inclusive as spicy and not many options. The beach restaurant at lunch time was good for sandwiches and fanastic desserts. The staff are wonderful especially Harry, Avinash, the young man who served us in the beach restaurant (sorry couldnt remember his name) and Kirvan. However, all staff were fanastic and so efficient (no faults with anyone - a credit to the hotel). Diane in reception was wonderful with a fanastic happy personality. Cleaners all work so hard and are a credit. They brought clean beach towels each evening. Warren TUI Rep was so helpful and approachable - thank you. The hotel is perfectly located for the beach and sea for snorkelling. The infinity pool water is cold and could be heated but still good to have a quick swim. When it rains difficult to find anywhere to sit except under canvas near the bar outside on beanbags and low chairs, reception area has limited space and the lounge area is not very inviting upstairs. The entertainment in the evening was low key and had singers who were generally very good. We didn't use the SPA but used the complimentary showers after check out in the SPA which was a lovely environment and with hot shower water. The weather was a mixture of dry and rainy days but it is Mauritius' winter and felt we should have done our research on the weather for June and July months. We had booked to go on the 'Five Island Tour' but unfortunately was cancelled twice due to weather conditions at sea. The drivers who took us to the hotel and airport were professional and courteous. The Mauritius people are so nice and friendly - we will certainly be returning to the island. Thank you for making this a memorable holiday as this is a perfect holiday by the sea for relaxation.
