This hotel has raised the bar for all our future holidays - completely exceeded our already high expectations. We arrived at night and had a lovely welcome and quick tour upon arrival. The room and bed were huge and we could easily order room service. We had a very comfortable stay here with no issues. The main restaurant was also lovely, only open for breakfast and dinner but there was also a bar and "food truck" which you could order from for lunch. Plenty of variety in the menus as well. The staff here are amazing, of caring nature and always ready to help. Huge thanks to them for all they did for us. We were able to book fixed price taxis and even do cash exchanges at reception. Location is good if you have a car or take a taxi out. There were some attractions in walking distance but we didn't go to these, instead booking taxis through the hotel to take us to ones further out but still in the South West region. I really cannot fault this place and I feel as though all descriptions I had read before booking were underselling it. There is so much to do beyond the beach and pools - we also used the spa, game rooms and tennis court. I know there are some other hotels next to this one but it looked like the nicest stretch of beach was just in front of this location :) Views were surreal, especially sunset. We enjoyed ourselves so much we asked for a late checkout on the day we were moving to our next hotel. It was a shame to leave and we have the intention of coming back one day. Read less

We have just spent 8 nights at Tamassa with 2 young children (ages 1 and 3 1/2). We stayed in 2 interconnecting beach rooms that opened directly onto the sand beach. (Thanks to Melana on reception for helping us sort this out). The rooms really made our stay, especially as we spent a lot of time in the room as the kids still nap. There was a full activity and entertainment programme. We went on separate glass bottom boat and snorkelling tours that are included in the package. The evening entertainment always featured live music and some dancing, often this was local or seasonal. Our stay overlapped with Halloween and Diwali and both were included. Tam Tam kids club was excellent with lots of activities. Thanks to Angelique, Melanie and Emilie. The spa was a bit of a hidden oasis. There are day beds, an outside swimming pool and steam room and sauna. We were the only guests there when we went so it felt like a real treat. Food in the buffet restaurant was excellent, especially if you like Indian food. The Playa restaurant on the beach was a bit of luxury, most dishes were included on our half board package. Thanks also to Ayush in reception for helping us with late check out, much appreciated when our flight wasn't until 10pm! Overall, a fantastic stay! Read less

Reefs, lagoons, and beaches. The gorgeous island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean has been the most amazing place to spend our honeymoon. Tamassa provided a lovely honeymoon package. Champagne baths, a wish ritual in the peace gardens, along with a private breakfasts and dinner on the beach, Disha was very attentive at the breakfast and dinner when we went to Playa. We also enjoyed a photo shoot on the beach - we haven't recieved the photos yet. We have been well and truly looked after! With special thanks to pretty Kuvna, she spent alot of time making sure we were well! She recently got married too and we enjoyed sharing photos with eachother, this was a real personal touch. Akilesh made us feel very special each time he was on duty at the restaurant, thank you for our table decor and suprise cocktails! You made it feel like a celebration every night. Devina our lovely maid, she makes great animals with the towels... we were sad that she got rotated to another place during our second week, bring her back! Lastly, chef Kunal, is amazing. The meals he made us were a personal touch and tasted beautiful!! We will be forever thankful for how lovely the people were. Especially those we have mentioned. We hope to meet again. With love, Mr and Mrs Allen - room 3016 in October 2024 xxx Read less
