The first time we went to La Pirogue was 2017, and I have reviewed that experience at that time. In summary, we very much enjoyed it. Since then we have been to Paradis, and now in 2024, we went back to La Pirogue. In my opinion La Pirogue is better. I enjoy the more authentic atmosphere and accommodation, the gardens, the food, and the stretch of long beach is unmatched to any place we have seen on the island, and that pool sitting on the beach is just amazing. Between 2017 and 2024, only two differences I noted. The first is that the service is really really good, and in fact better than it was. The waiters and staff are very good, and other than the odd language barrier (most of the waiters struggle with English) it really is a good experience. We went to Sugar Beach (the next door sister resort) fairly often for sunset drinks, as its a bit more vibey, with either live music or a good DJ. La pirogue at sunset is very much more chilled. Sugar Beach service is poor though, from bar to restaurants, the service is pretty much non existent. Expect to wait for anything you ask for, and expect to ask repeatedly for anything. The second, and really my only criticism, the gardens are a lot dryer than what I remember. Still good though, but areas around the accommodation are looking pretty dry and dead. Not sure if its due to a very long and severe lack of winter rainfall, apparently the worst in 120 years. One other difference to 2017, they seem to have relaxed their stance on long pants and closed shoes for dinner, which is really fantastic, as it made no sense to me. I would be hard pressed to choose a different resort when I go back to Mauritius, it really does tick a lot of boxes. I know people often ask about all inclusive, we did go all inclusive, family of 4 (kids are 18 and 14), and my estimate on what we would have spent daily on lunch and drinks throughout the day would be around R4000 per day. That would be some drinks/cocktails/beers on the beach in the late mornings, lunch and drinks, and then sunset cocktails, and then drinks with supper. Really enjoyed the week, and will be back!

We are extremely happy with our stay at La Pirogue. The resort is so beautiful and accommodating, the food was delicious and the nighttime entertainment was amazing. All of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. We would recommend La Pirogue to anyone thinking of staying at a hotel in 𝗠𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘂𝘀, it is true paradise!
