We have just returned from our honeymoon at The Residence. As soon as we arrived we were made to feel like there was nothing they could not do for us. We sat by the pool while our bags were unpacked for us. The beach, pool and hotel buildign are all stunning. We had an ocean front room that had a... more

Well, after going on holiday to The Residence back in May, I have to agree with some of the comments on the previous review. We paid extra and stayed in an Ocean Front room which was beautiful and the views amazing. The receptionist who took us to our room got lost and had to leave us in the lobby to... more

We have just returned from two weeks at The Residence in Mauritius and can thoroughly recommend the hotel for others wishing to go there. The hotel is a large modern hotel with large comfortable rooms. The bathrooms were large with generously sized walk in showers (great water pressure), a large bath which your butler would run for you if so... more

One arrives at The Residence with high expectations and for a very short while you kid yourself that it delivers .... but something is missing. This hotel that uses the line 'Refuge from the Norm' has actually managed to 'Deliver the very Ordinary' A simple Colonial theme has been chosen for this resort which is indeed a 'refuge from the... more

We booked The Residence with a view to having a chilled out very relaxing family holiday in a hotel with impeccable service and standards. There is no doubt that you will relax and chill out at The Residence and the service is good but not impeccable - I think where they fall down is that they simply try too hard... more

We stayed in The Residence from May 14 to May 25, 2008. Not the best season: five of ten days were almost lost due to rainstorms and strong wind which made temperature get down from +28 to +19. Yet, the rest five days were almost calm and hot. But choose November if you prefer calm and “dry” vacation (note, Mauritius... more

We visited The Residence in November 2007 for our Honeymoon and it really lived up to all my expectations of a dream destination. We took along our 1 year old daughter. From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were impressed and this continued throughout our stay. The accommodation was great, we had a spacious colonial garden view junior... more

Spent 7 nights half board here after our safari in South Africa. This was our first visit to Mauritius. I should add that we are a couple in our early 30s with no children and do not normally do beach holidays - this was an exception as my wife is pregnant and we wanted to chill out. Plus points Service... more

We (couple in late 30's) and kids (7 & 5) spent Christmas at the Residence with one set of fit 60something grandparents. The good things are as follows:- 1) The Service. Fantastic... really fantastic. For us having been to the Caribbean this was an epiphany. Nothing was too difficult - including mending a broken suitcase and gluing together some deck... more
