Those torn between ‘contemporary chic’ and ‘utterly authentic’ needn’t choose – after a radical revamp, Tropical Attitude promises both. All bold geometric design and luxe natural touches, this adults-only retreat gives grownups that boutique hotel feel and a genuine Mauritian experience. It starts with its location – facing a turquoise lagoon, just a free shuttle ride from the beautiful beaches at Ile aux Cerfs, it’s near the traditional fishing village of Trou d’Eau Douce. And it continues with its attitude – with real Mauritius found everywhere from its spa treatments to its experiences, including cookery lessons, a weekly ‘Made in Mauritius’ market, and home-cooked dinners at local families’ homes. Dining at Tropical Attitude is equally authentic, whether you’re at its intimate Kot Nou restaurant (which seats just 20 guests), tucking into Mauritian street food from TABA-j, or taking one of its picnic baskets over to Ile aux Cerfs. Book into one of the newer villas to enjoy a private pool all to yourselves, perfect for a special occasion.

Although our check-in experience at Tropical Attitude was slower than expected and the parking was quite tight, these minor inconveniences didn’t overshadow our overall experience. The breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent, offering a wide variety of delicious options. However, the cocktails were a bit disappointing, as they tasted watered down compared to other places we visited. The staff, on the other hand, were outstanding - super friendly and attentive. We especially enjoyed the included activities, like the glass-bottom boat ride. The room wasn’t ideal, as it lacked windows and felt less private due to its location, but despite these drawbacks, we still had a pleasant stay.

A place to disconnect and relax

We stayed at the Tropical Attitude for 10 days and were totally charmed. The hotel is located quietly at the end of a cul de sac, boarding the sea, but lacking a real beach. That is not an issue though as the calm pool offers ample refreshment if needed. A five minute walk will get you to a lovely public beach if you prefer.
Guests can choose…

We stayed at the Tropical Attitude for 10 days and were totally charmed. The hotel is located quietly at the end of a cul de sac, boarding the sea, but lacking a real beach. That is not an issue though as the calm pool offers ample refreshment if needed. A five minute walk will get you to a lovely public beach if you prefer.
Guests can choose from sunbeds along the sea, next to the pool and on the sun decks on top of the restaurant, the last two options being perfect should the weather be too windy for you. The two restaurants (and "foodtruck" Taba-J) serve very good meals and snacks, both Mauritian as international. Staff are very friendly and always looking for ways to make your experience even better.
Special thanks to Hena for always being there and for organizing our outings, to Patricia for keeping our room super tidy, to Yash at the bar, Hina for explaining Mauritian cuisine and all of the other staff members who made our stay unforgettable!

What a fantastic experience we had. Everything about this holiday was on point. The location has a stunning view over the bay. A gentle wind keeps you nice and cool at night.

What a fantastic experience we had. Everything about this holiday was on point. The location has a stunning view over the bay. A gentle wind keeps you nice and cool at night. The rooms are spacious and clean and the accommodation faces the sea. There is no problem getting a sunbed or having to listen to screaming children. The food is amazing presented expertly by Roy the executive chief and his team. To the left of the hotel is miles of empty beaches and we walked for an hour on golden sands. Honestly I could not fault this holiday. The hospitality from the lovely staff is exceptional. Special mention to Ram, Arvind, Reshma ,Karuna , Sunil and Vashant who made us feel so welcome. Also Fifi the hotel dog was very friendly. She kept the strays away!
Vikash the chief taught us how to make curry’s and you can have personal tuition.
Ilshad the assistant manager runs a tight ship. .
Our wonderful cleaner Prema was so talented with her towel figurines. There was quite a few of the staff who had worked at the hotel for over 20 years and that loyalty and pride in their job shows. It was just the best experience. We will be coming back and my request to the management team is please don’t change anything!
