What an amazing trip. We came for our honeymoon and we really had a luxury trip. We swim, danced and played rugby with amazing staff members and the food was just absolutely delicious!!! One of the most memorable time we had and the cherry on the top was 100% our view from our room.

We stayed for 10 days, and it was absolutely magical. The staff are so lovely and attentive. We enjoyed the activities that the hotel has available, and the food was great. The hotel itself is right in the beach, and the views were phenomenal. Since all beaches in Mauritius are public, there were 2 dogs that wandered around. We thought it was wonderful, as they were very sweet, and had somewhere safe to rest and get some love from guests. Just a testimont to the kindness of the staff. Highly recommend for couples!
