The hotel

The Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius lies in stunning tropical gardens along the Turtle Bay Marine Park. Many guests return again and again to enjoy its array of activities, many of which are included in your All Inclusive package, or to simply relax by the pool or on the beautiful beach. Discover the resort's wealth of dining options, from international buffet to 'feet in the sand'-style dining, Asian delicacies, and traditional cuisine. La Marée Beach Restaurant is the place for to enjoy delicious Mediterranean dishes on the beach as the sun goes down. For a special treat, indulge in a meal at LaKaz Kreol, a Mauritian family-style restaurant seating just 10 people, or visit the hotel's Château Mon Désir, a colonial-style mansion overlooking the historic ruins of Balaclava and the Citron River, or experience the new brasserie style restaurant set inside historical ruins. Visit the horses at the hotel's wonderful equestrian centre — and be sure to stop by the giant tortoise park on your way. There is also a superb spa at the hotel with lovely gardens, where you can take in the natural sounds of paradise as you relax in the tranquillity area behind the specially-made waterfall… heaven.

We don’t often return to the same place, but were so glad that we made an exception for the Maritim. The welcome was just as warm and the resort just as magical as before. We enjoyed the glass bottomed boat, kayaking, snorkelling, paddle boarding, walking the dogs and table tennis for free, and had a go on the inflatable, parasailing and tennis for a small fee. We also made good use of borrowing games (nightly Uno competitions in the bar) Snorkelling from the beach was fab, and we saw lion fish, trumpet fish and dolphins from the shore. Staff provided the library as a suitable venue for my daughter’s interview (she got the job and now works for the NHS) All staff were friendly and helpful, but the following deserve special mention. In the Belle Vue buffet, Diya greeted us with Flavio, Alida and Vimla serving. In La Maree, Fabrice and Ishwaree made us welcome at breakfast and lunch and in the quarter deck bar (and pool) Oodaye kept us well supplied with Bamboo Surprises and laughs. Dinestt was keen to introduce us to the flavoured rums and I can recommend the watermelon one. We were glad to see Mithun again and to find out more about the resort and to chat with him. Fingers crossed that we get to see you again. Read less

We had the best experience here from check in to our departure. We arrived really early but were shown to a shower area which we could use. Then we were able to eat and drink with all inclusive from then on. The hotel is in a beautiful setting. The gardens are maintained beautifully.The beach area is steps away from the pool area. Always lots of beds available any time of the day. The room was kept very clean. The staff in every area are exceptionally friendly and will always try to please you. The food in the buffet restaurant always something for everyone. We ate at La Maree one evening and had steaks which were delicious. This was chargeable which was worth it. We also ate in Banyan and the food was gorgeous there too. We tried rum tasting in Anno in beautiful surroundings near the main gates. All of the staff always had a smile on their faces. Sorry we can't remember everyone's names. Nittin the beach bar, Oodaye in Quarter deck bar. Dinsha in the main restaurant. We would definitely return. Read less

We are currently staying at the Maritim Resort & Spa, from the moment we arrived were greeted by exceptional and personable service. The standards are excellent and the room we have is second to none.There are a group of staff who have gone above and beyond to make our stay so special. This is the team at La Maree. They are an absolute credit to the hotel and nothing is too much trouble for them. We would like to give a special mention to the following. Soubash and Kesavan for providing us with some of the best food we have ever eaten, we have genuinely been lost for words with quality and presentation. Fabrice and Rakesh for the excellent customer service and not forgetting Naresh, Dinesh, Bachu, Askari, Sarita and Sodhis (sorry if we have spelt any names wrong). We still have just over a week left at the Maritim. We would have normally written this review when we returned home but both felt we had to pass on out ongoing thanks and comments on. The staff really make the hotel a special place to be. Read less
