It is no secret that Mauritius accommodation standards & the excellent quality service are known to be the best in the Indian Ocean. The old saying ´service with a smile´ is a benchmark of this superb island vacation destination.

 

There is an abundance of hotels from the pinnacle of star quality right down through comfortable & budget conscious properties throughout the island, most of these properties built hugging the coastline with their own beachfront vistas.

The northern tier of the island has the longest established resort properties, while the newest area to be developed has been the less tamed southwest coast which has recently seen a cluster of excellent beachfront resort hotels go up. The top end of the market has seen an expansion in the villa living concept as well as smaller hotels, with the first boutique hotel opening in 2005.

For travel in the months of June to September & during the Christmas & Easter holiday periods, reservations should be made well in advance as demand often during these times outstrips the availability.

Although there is no official grading or star rating system once you get away from the internationally recognized chain properties, many of whom have hotels on the island, Mauritius has a higher density of 5-star hotels than anywhere else in the world.

Most of Mauritius' hotel inventory is 4   &  5 star; & it is true to say that even 3-star hotels provide a 5-star welcome.

There are also plenty of budget accommodation options. These include family-run chambre d'hôtes, self-catering apartments & weekend houses, beach bungalows, villas & lodges. They can be found throughout the island, although mainly in tourist centers - in the north around Grand Baie & in the west around Flic-en-Flac.

 

As Mauritius is a long-haul destination it's obviously extremely important to choose the resort hotel that's right for you - to pick the right room & to make certain the resort is going to delivery you a product quality & exactly the facilities you need.

A creative cuisine served in an intimate setting, the cuisine of chefs Jacques & Laurent Pourcel carries guests away to the far off lands (Spain, Italy, North Africa, India, Asia) where spices reign supreme.

Their dishes envelop & exude the flavors of the East. Inspired by the abundance of Mauritius' vegetables, exotic fruits, spices & amazing flavors, the Pourcel brothers have especially included the following ingredients in their menus: jackfruit, carripoulet (an indigenous fragrant leaf used in cooking), allspice, saffron, indigenous miniature pumpkins, yams, local island rum.

Restaurant & bars include:

LE FRANGIPANIER - the main restaurant located next to the second pool.

LE NAVIGATOR Restaurant - overlooking the beach, offering a magnificent view over the ocean & the northern islands.

LE KIOSQUE - which borders the two swimming pools of the hotel the thatched roofs kiosks confer an intimate & convivial atmosphere.

LE PLANTEUR BAR - situated in the middle of the gardens.

LE NAVIGATOR BAR - open from 10.30 a.m. until the discotheque is closed.

We recommend you consider Le Canonnier's for the ´all-inclusive` package, to avoid having to think about money while you're there. Drinks in Mauritius are quite expensive, so this option not only covers your meals, but covers most drinks as well, including the mini bar in your room.
