The Residence Mauritius

The hotel does not occupy very big territory, however there are lots of space on the beach, you can choose either surrounding with the palms or the white sand. The sand is very soft like a powder and not hot. Kayaks, paddles, catamarans, water ski, etc - all are free of charge. Great experience was to try water ski! There is cold refreshing water on the beach during the day free of charge. Beach towels are soft and new. The ebb and flow of water in the ocean was not significant during our stay, you can easily swim during the day. Seaside is perfect with soft sand, no stones, no fish, good for kids. The room is very big, we had 2 rooms and got free of charge upgrade for the ocean view. The personnel is really very kind, very kind. Always ready to help and solve any problem. At the end of our stay we were presented with the bottle of champagne from the manager. There is consierge service, they can book any restaurant, excursions, taxi, etc. There is a big library in the hotel, very nice massages and body treatment, free of charge sauna, hammam and gym. Although giving good humidity, hammam looks a bit out of date. Every evening there are wisdom affirmations near the bed, I collect all of them and took with me. The hotel and the rooms are in colonial style, although looking fresh, very nice towels and bed linens. Very clean all around. There are no restaurants outside the hotel, therefore if you eat 3 times per day it’s better to order HB/all-inclusive at once. Food was good, combination of Asian and European cuisine, wide selection of fruits, pan cakes, gems, eggs, etc, although being enough I cannot say there were a lot of vegetables. The location of the hotel is quite far from other attractions, we had a boat tour to the nearest waterfall, dolphins and monkeys and it was great. The weather in May was not stable, one day was all raining, others not hot but very comfortable, rains are very short and mostly at night. Water in the ocean was perfect.

I was absolutely blown away by this hotel, and had the most amazing 10 days staying here. There were plenty of sunbeds, both on the beach, and around the pool. My bedroom was spacious, clean, turndown and butler service every day. There are two restaurants open, and the selection of food was always good at both, but my preferred restaurant was The Plantation, as it was a la carte. The hotel staff were lovely, communicative, and nothing that you asked for was too much trouble (as an example, I left a water bottle in my room that was a gift, and the hotel are returning it to me in the UK). I would return again, in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for a fantastic, relaxing stay!

The property is nice, the beach is very good, the butler was very friendly.

Hotel was great with a lot of space and attention to details. Service was great with attentive staff. Beach was so beautiful though the sand with the crushed corals wasn’t great for long barfoot walks

Based on our experience in travelling, we decided to book a stay at this hotel for 11 nights, in occasion of our 30th wedding anniversary. The locarion is really fantastic, quiet and on the beach, that is really a long one. Many water activities are free of charge (snorkeling, kayaking, windsurs, sailing, etc.), excluded parasailing and donut. Just aside there is a diving center. We stayed in a large double room, with partial view of the ocean. Everything was clean to perfection, a number of room amenities that usually are not provided in other 5* hotels (like Vape against mosquitos, bath salt, a wardrobe room. A personal butler (majordome) was at our service 24h a day for any need. He was so kind and professional. We decided to book for half board: food at dinner is served through a buffet, with a variety of choice every day. So the breakfast. Staff is very gentle, always smiling and attentive, ready to help at all times. The same for the reception, the beach and concierge personnel, where it is possible to book every kind of visit around the island, including activities like cruises with the catamaran, speed boat tour of the islands, etc. In addition, to celebrate our anniversary, the hotel offered us a day cruise of the islands with the cataman. Not only: the last night they offered us a whole chocolate cake To sum up, it has been a fantastic and relaxing experience. We felt cuddled from the first day. Highly recommended!
