The Ravenala Attitude

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

All-suite and all-inclusive, the Ravenala Attitude is styled in contemporary, colonial and tropical hues. With an open-plan, no boundaries design, the restaurants and bars flow seamlessly towards the pool, gardens and beach beyond. But it’s not all about appearances — it goes deeper. Its ‘Culinary Voyage’ takes you from Asia to Italy in nine restaurants, seven of which you can sample as part of your All-Inclusive package. You can tuck into 'Granmamas' Mauritian fare at Kot Nou, street-food takeaways on the beach at Taba-J, and enjoy the romance of the floating Riviera restaurant. The kids' clubs provide various fun activities, whilst the Sport Village and Boat House offer endless diversions, from kayaking along Rivière Citron to riverbank yoga. And the hotel's ‘Otentik’ concept gives you a true insight into Mauritius, in cookery classes, local music, a self-guided tours app, and a weekly ‘Otentik Bazar’, with all profits from the ‘made in Mauritius’ goodies going to the craftspeople. You can even dine on ‘Otentik Dinners’ with locals in their homes. This charming resort is great for families, with large rooms and a range of activities, whilst couples will love staying in the Executive Seafront Adult Suites in the adults-only section.

I am writing this review from a very cold and rainy UK having just returned from a 3 week holiday at the Ravenala Attitude Hotel in Mauritius in January 2025. We have had such a lovely relaxed time. The hotel is very pleasantly situated on a beautiful bay with a gorgeous sandy beach and calm shallow waters - good for snorkelling and safe swimming. If you are feeling more adventurous head out to the shallow reefs on the free boat trip provided. For a couple of nights we watched dolphins feeding in the bay whilst the sun went down. The beach area is very chilled and we loved the relaxed areas to rest, eat and watch the sunset over a drink. Wonderful! Food at the hotel was also good and we liked in particular Madame Ming's for Chinese food, the Italian experience, Bistrot and Ko Not serving beautifully prepared Mauritian food. Thank you to all those teams. But the real beauty of the Ravenala belongs to the staff themselves. Kevin and Anousha, thanks for helping our fitness with pool aerobics and teaching us Chinese Dominoes! Rajul, thank you for running the bars superbly and ensuring my husband had an adequate stock of Heineken Zero! Rai, thanks for serving us so well on the beach and keeping us updated with English football scores! Venita in reception thanks for helping us with all our requests. A thanks also to the management - we enjoyed being part of your eco drive to protect the sea and local area. Well done to you for finding ways to protect the environment and reduce pollution. I am sorry I can't thank everyone in person at the Ravenala because we could not remember all their names but just to say everyone was so kind and friendly that we are missing you already. Read less
