Flic en Flac resorts

Pros: -Villa design is very nice and elegant - all the staff are kind and eager to help - the weather and environment was unbelievable especially when u watch sunset view - overall Mauritius people are very friendly and kind

Cons: - I was planning my anniversary and found out there is only one package ( called honey moon package) , if there is variety of choices will be perfect - maybe if they could add more bushes in front of the private pool to give it more privacy. ( hotel staff are always walking by in the area between villas , honestly I never seen any one look at my place but it is visible) - when I arrived at the hotel the front desk women kept asking me about my honeymoon package in front of my wife , were it was supposed to be surprise

Pros: Stunning villas with personal pool and privacy. Excellent staff. Attention to detail outstanding. Loved the generosity of service and friendly people all around. Highly recommended.

Cons: Drinks very pricey

Pros: I really like the location, food, stuff, and the activities Room and villa super clean and very comfortable Has a good size pool

Cons: The hardware very noisy and the main entrance for the villa was shared with another villa and was noisy too. So every one used the other entrance. If the pool was heated, It will be really good but the pool was cold and we couldn’t use it.

Pros: Spectacular setting with great architecture and exceptional service. Will go back anytime

Pros: Everything was good except the noises of very old parquet. It was really disappointing!

Cons: The old parquet is very noisy when you are walking on it. I could give more score for the review if I didn’t have this experience.

Pros: The place is very beautiful and the staff are very polite and friendly. The villa was clean all the time with a great cleaning services and organised housekeeping. Overall, everything was completely perfect

Cons: The prices of taxis was quietly expensive

Pros: Our room was a bit "vintage" but they were renovating a lot so we believe soon every room will be well refurbished. The resort is very nice and the beach is awesome to chill and enjoy a cocktail watching the sunset.

Pros: Resort and Tides and Citronella

Cons: Buffets could be better displayed and breakfast chefs and other chefs making the omlettes and pancakes these staff were a bit grumpy and unhelpfull!

Pros: Loved the location, cleanliness of the beach and rooms, kids’ club, free water sport activities

Pros: We can highly recommend this hotel. The attention to detail is great and you are assigned a go to person on arrival. The food was also exceptional as well.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The resort is in the perfect location of the island. You have an opportunity to have a breakfast and a dinner in different restaurants of the local resorts apart from sugar beach. Very welcoming stuff and solves problems on a spot. You have different facilities which you don’t have to rent and also local car rent for reasonable prices.

Cons: In the beginning we got a wrong room , instead of double we got twin, and some members of stuff tried to convince us that twin room is actually is a double. Sorry, that was a bit wrong , especially for someone who comes very far away, after long hours journey, very tired , and the last for a couple who came for a honeymoon.

Cons: Amazingly comfortable resort. Since the moment you enter the staff welcome you with a wide smile, the aromas and the cleanliness of the hotel is something that you smell every single day. The room service is excellent and the beach is a lovely one. Highly recommended!

Pros: Beautiful hotel on a stunning beach. We booked a garden view room but were upgraded to a sea view room which was very appreciated. While we weren’t in one of the newly renovated rooms (which looked amazing!), the room was clean, well appointed and perfect for our needs. Special mention to Elizabeth, our babysitter and Keshav our waiter at Citronella’s who recommended the deep fried snapper Our room was well serviced by Kevin in housekeeping who was quite insistent we mentioned him as apparently his manager checks these reviews.

Cons: The food and drinks are eyes-wateringly expensive (or as my husband put it “threaten your child’s collage fund expensive”) especially when you convert back to South African Rands. Based on the reviews we chose the half board option, not the all inclusive. This definitely did work out much cheaper in the end than the all inclusive. However it is important to note that the half board does not include drinks at dinner (and I mean any drinks, including the bottled water). Specifically, there are 3 restaurants on the resort - the buffet (medium to average food), Citronella’s (lovely Italian food) & Buddha Bar (very expensive fine dining). If you are on half board, the buffet food is all included (except for ANY drinks) but if you eat at Citronella or Buddha bar you get a 900 rupees credit per person toward the food only. This was not clearly explained to use when we arrived and therefore we got an unpleasant surprise on the last night when at Citronella’s our total bill was greater than 1800r (for 2 of us) but without drinks it was only 1500r so only 1500r was deducted. Also, while most of the main courses on the Citronella menu are under 900r (though if you want a starter or dessert you will have to pay in), there was only about 2/3 main courses on the entire Buddha bar menu that was under 900r, most were well over this amount. There seemed to be a special menu for AI but this was not available to those on half board. When our meal came, the portion size was small which just made the pricing even more exploitative. Considering the buffet really isn’t anything specially, you feel forced to eat in the other 2 restaurant if you want a decent meal and then having to pay in after already paying for half board left a bad taste in our mouths.

Cons: The shop was never open. The room had very limited plug sockets. We only had 2 which we had to unplug the phone and the light to use these. There were no spare sockets. The kettle didn’t work, we had to get this replaced

Pros: Nice location with a great sea view

Cons: More than 25 years old and needs a good overall refurbishment

Pros: The bell man was super nice, as well as the dive instructors from Nemo diving center.

Cons: The check in took super long, they took our passports then asked us to sign the check in form, however the nationality was written as China, when were clearly not Chinese and they have our passports to confirm it. That's blatany racicism. The receptionist staff showed no remorse when I pointed it out. Also the cold welcome towels stink of a wet dog... What a great start to the holiday! The rest of the stay was smooth enough as we managed to do a dive, went out and explored the rest of the island and so on. However, I did expect a lot more from a 5 star hotel chain, the comfort (aircon was not cold enough, even after they've came to check it) was far from adequate, room service was slow and tardy as well.

Pros: Fantastic pool area and right on the beach front, both the pool and beach has a number of sun loungers with cushions which is lovely. Also scattered around the beautiful gardens are a number of four poster beds that you can lay on and watch the sun go down. The buffet restaurant has a large selection of food that should cater for everybody’s needs, you can also use the spa pool and sauna with no extra charge. You just need to visit the spa to pre book. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable exactly what you would expect from a 5 star hotel.

Cons: The hotel is beautiful and its a shame that the staff let it down so badly, they are useless. If you order a coffee for breakfast you might have to remind them a few times before it actually arrives. The new sentence learnt whilst staying at the Sofitel is “no it’s not possible” They sell it as 5 restaurants. However 1 is a beach bar so it’s more of a lunchtime place to eat not the evening. The remaining 4 comprises of a Buffett (open every day) and Chinese and Japanese (open every other day) plus an a la carte restaurant with approx £80pp supplement. So if you like it or not you will be dining in the buffet restaurant for half you’re holiday. Veginterians or anybody with special dieterty requests be aware. Even though there is a leaflet in the room saying to contact the restaurant manager for an special requests the answers we got was “it’s not possible” that’s the Japanese and al a carte out as they have no veggie options.The Chinese restaurant has 3 options all priced around £15 but when you have paid £100 HB supplement per person per night its not really value for money. The sunloungers are great, but there seemed to be a reserve culture going on. As beds seemed to get reserved with a book or a towel from the night before and the hotel staff did nothing about this. All in all it’s a beautiful hotel. Would I go back. No. So I guess that says it all.

Pros: The bed and bedding was lovely. The breakfast was decent with a good choice. Staff were pleasant. Lunch menu was a little limited.I was disappointed as I paid a lot for a short stay and it wasn’t half board.

Cons: Lunch menu was limited. Electricity kept going off which was an issue as it kept happening as we were getting ready to go out to attend a wedding making is late more than once

Pros: The service was brilliant, good location,beautiful pvt beach.The spar was excellent.

Cons: Food,could have done more french cuisine.

Cons: Market is poor Food was expensive
