I've been blessed to visit several countries around the world and Mauritians stands out as the friendliest people. This hotel exemplifies the best of Mauritian hospitality. Our room was literally bang on the beach! I came to relax and reenergize myself and it's been a mission accomplished

The most beautiful views that are straight from a postcard. Fantastic service. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. I'm definitely coming back! We picked the bang on beach room and it was literally on the beach. I would definitely recommend the hotel especially for first time travelers to Mauritius.
