We spent 4 weeks in Mauritius.The last week of this holiday we booked at "Pallagino" a small hotel-guesthouse in Flic& Flac. Th beach is only 50 meter away. This proved to be one of the best holiday decisions we ever made! At once we felt at home in this very cosy place with its friendly staff consisting of a husband... more

Maradiva is a nice property with above average location but suffers from extremely poor service and staff quality. Some of the staff are good but not at a level you would expect from a property at this price point. We were on our honeymoon but didn't even get a greeting acknowledging this. This was a first as all the other... more

I was there in August this year for my honeymoon. The place has everything you need, from the beautiful see facing rooms to the amazing service from the staff. Though we were in the middle of winter, the staff of The Sands warmed it up for us and cooked up an amazing honeymoon dinner for us. The best thing about... more

We stayed for 1 week in October based on the reviews on TripAdvisor. Pros: - Airport pickup was delivered as promised - Good price - Washing machine was helpful - Location is 1-2 blocks to the beach and many restaurants and bars - Free internet was helpful, albeit to book a new accomodation Cons: - We noticed a bad odor... more

We stayed at the Sands for a birthday celebration. After the service and standards in Dubai we were a bit disappointed with the standard of the hotel. The room was a bit dates and the bathroom a bit dirty. The staff were all very friendly and the food was, on the whole, good. Our best meals were in the French... more

This was our second stay at Sugar Beach and the upgraded resort is simply a mini paradise that is highly recommended. The staff are absolutely committed to customer service and they were truly at our beck and call always with a smile and a chat! Nothing is ever too much trouble! We are alreday planning our next holiday because just... more

Stayed at the Maradiva for seven days in early December 2009. A luxury hotel on the outskirts of Fic en Flac with 63 villas, but whilst we were there only 20 villas were occupied. Its a very beautiful, very green island, however green obviously means enough rain. This was not a problem for us, because we had enough cloud to... more

After reading a million and one reviews on a trip to the Maldives for our Honeymoon we decided at the last minute that Mauritius would perhaps suit us a little bit more. If you want a relaxed beach holiday in paradise and be able to leave the resort and take a look at the surrounding island then Mauritius could be... more

My spouse and I stayed here for 7 days and overall, I would rate the service as 4 on 5. The location of the place is awesome, one of the best beach stretches we find in there, the staff is helpful and friendly. However, on the other side, the room service was poor; would not have the rooms cleaned up... more

With a few exceptions - such as the very pleasant concierge, the housekeeping and a few people in the restaurant the service was shockingly bad. We travel a lot and are always very polite to all staff. However, as soon as we arrived we felt the rudeness of the receptionists who were clearly irritated at having to deal with our... more

We have stayed in the hotel for one week and was very pleased by the friendliness of the staff, quality of the service and the excellent food. Although we had some complaint at the beginning, the reaction time and the results were much better than expected. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed, suitable mainly for the couples as the hotel... more

We have been to quite a few hotels in Mauritius and this year, we decided to try The Sands. It is a nice hotel and the staff in the restaurants are lovely and I probably had the best spa treatment there. However, compared to other 4 star hotels in Mauritius, The Sands was rather disappointing. Upon our arrival, the lady... more

we've just returned from a week at Maradiva. Its a superb resort, everything including the villa, facilities, restaurants was all first class. The food at 'Cilantro' restaurant was particularly good. It was also good to be so close to other resorts, we walked along the beach to the Hilton to have dinner there some nights. The only negative thing i... more

Most reviews of this hotel say the place is either pretty well perfect or not quite. I'm in the 'not quite' camp. However, for the money we spent, I cannot fault it for value. By the way the price does vary depending on which travel company you use and whether there is a limited special offer available with any of... more

We have just spent two weeks at the Sugar Beach and we absolutely LOVED it. It's probably the most beautiful resort we've ever stayed (and we travel a lot!). The grounds are beautifully designed and immaculately kept. The pools are big and clean and there is a part of the pool which is perfect for small children (our son, aged... more

My husband and I returned from a two week stay at Maradiva villas on 4th December 2009. We enjoyed our stay, we particularly liked the beautiful grounds and the views from the beach of Tamarin and Le Morne Brabant. The villa was spacious and well thought-out and although my husband is disabled, his disability was not a problem as the... more

My wife and I just spent seven nights at Sugar Beach and we had a fantastic week. The reception on arrival to the day we left was excellent. We had a fantastic room overlooking the beach and ocean, located by the adults only pool. We stayed on an all inclusive basis as we had not planned to do much sight... more

I agree with most the reviews posted on here. My mum and I arrived quite early (about 5 hours before official checkin time) but kindly we were suggested to enjoy the beach and they would have our room ready in less than 2 hours. I thought the checkin was hard work, I had to fill in those forms (it's actually... more

Ok, this is a near perfect hotel. That is: Very good location. Excellent management and staff. Good rooms, good grounds, good cooking. I could repeat the other reviewers but I won't. Internet access is flakey, expensive and truly irritating. Wifi probably doesn't exist, hardwired in rooms is unreliable. Computer station (one in Manor House) works quite well. Note that its... more
