Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day all inclusive stay at the Westin. The Room and main buildings were spacious and clean and the restaurants provided a variety of meals to suit all tastes. The staff ,without exception,were all very friendly and helpful and a special mention to Sheikh in the gym who sorted out my blocked shoulder. Would highly recommend.

Hotel staff are exceptional from top to bottom, helpful, polite, friendly and committed. Nitish Assistant F&B manager is outstanding and Sahil who prepared our room is excellent amongst many others. Hotel is really very good, spacious, clean, well cared for, very good food, beautiful location, relaxing. One or two minor tweaks but nothing serious. Hotel and the island exceeded expectation and better than Caribbean, Seychelles, Malaysia.

We have spent a lot of time in Marriott Hotels all over the world and I have to say that this one definitely comes out on top in every aspect. The facilities are excellent, the gym, being a priority for us, exceeded our expectations. Our room was first class and the housekeeping staff were excellent. As for the rest of the staff, cannot emphasise enough how much they go above and beyond for you. A special shout out must got to Nitish, the Food & Beverages Manager and his team. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them. Especially Alvin, the room service Supervisor who made sure we had breakfast delivered fresh to our room after a tough workout in the gym. I would highly recommend this hotel. From the exceptional staff, the facilities, the cleanliness right down to the excellent wifi it’s one of the best hotels we have ever visited, and we have visited a LOT!! Well done to the whole team at Turtle Bay Resort.

Really great resort with a nice, almost central location on the island. We spent half our days at the resort, the facilities, staff all top notch. Special thanks to Anil for taking care of us! The only thing that could be improved was the food, still a solid 8/10, some dishes were great, some less so. But again, I'm nitpicking here. Everything was exactly as you would expect at a resort costing 600USD/night. Oh yeah, one thing: The full board pricing DOESN'T include any drinks, not even water (in restaurants, in-room water is always available), which came as a surprise. Not super pricy, we spend about 600MUR / day on water, orange juice and stuff. Haven't read everything, so probably this was disclosed somewhere, still was a surprise. Overall a solid 9/10, location, amenities, staff is all great, we would definitely be coming back here if we visited Mauritius again.

I’ve been going to the Westin with my family for over 10 years and I have never been disappointed. I’ve always been seduced by the magical and tranquil atmosphere the resort offers. It’s a haven for relaxation and special moments. We have been celebrating many occasions there and it’s the perfect venue. The set up on a beautiful beachfront is just idyllic. You’ll be welcome like nowhere else. The staff, without any exception, is simply amazing and very attentive. The service is impeccable whether it’s the management, the food and beverage team or the housekeeping. From the moment you arrive till the moment you leave their warmth and smiles will make you feel at home. They definitely contribute to the resort’s charm. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and immaculate. The restaurants are also worth mentioning. They provide interesting, varied and delicious menus. The quality of the food is consistent. All of them are great but I really recommend the Mystic if you enjoy Asian cuisine. Every single trip here is a memorable experience. The Westin is for sure my favorite place in the world

Our stay at The Westin Turtle Bay resort was wonderful as the place is located at a beach front with lots of facilities and the service was brilliant as we thought the staff went beyond their duty to make us feel very much special. We would like to mention staff from Beverage - Seam was excellent and catered for all our special need as my partner is vegetarian and they made special dishes for her. We were all very much impressed by other staff specifically Sheila, Deepa and Jaya who made us feel happy with their positive and courteous service with friendly approach. From front Desk, Ram and Yousef were brilliant with helpful ideal and could not do enough for us. Finally, Housekeeping staff under Meva as well as Kamini did everything beyond our expectations. We could not have asked for anything better. Kamini with her wonderful smile and dedication to work was very impressive. Thank you all for making our stay in Mauritius memorable. Mahesh Bava

We had an amazing stay at the Westin. Right from when we arrived past midnight, the team at the westin could not do enough for us. Our daily room attendant, Reshmi, really made it the icing on the cake. We ate at the various restaurants and the staff were all excellent as well as the food! Raja, Chitra, Mevin, Yovini, Manisha and so many others were all amazing at Seasonal tastes, Kangan and Mystique. I could not fault anyone. I’m sure I’ve missed many other names out! Annabelle, who was the guard at the gate each day greeted us and made us really feel welcome as we left and returned as we were out daily.

I find it difficult to fault our stay. What stands out particularly are the staff who are courteous, helpful and attentive. Our room was spacious and comfortable and kept immaculate by Anil who decorated my bed with rose petals on my birthday. The food is excellent and we were impressed by Ravi the Sommelier whose knowledge and enthusiasm for wine is impressive. The pool was large and comfortable, the nearby sea warm. We will certainly stay again.
