Cap Ouest by Horizon Holidays

This penthouse is fabulous, we never got tired of the views. The kitchen is well equipped although there is no toaster (although there is a sandwich toaster!) and I couldn't find the handle for the grill pan, but these are minor *******. The Wolmar supermarket is only a few minutes walk for any essential supplies, the supermarket at Cascavelle is a 10 mins drive and has everything you need. The kids loved having their own rooms and plunge pool. The main pool and sunloungers were never busy but the pool is only 1.3m deep so fine for small kids but not really deep enough for my teenagers (who are both hardcore swimmers). The beach is just a few steps away and the water is warm, shallow and there's zero waves (being protected by the reef further out). Mauritius in winter is warm but not sweltering, and we only had 1 rainy day in the 10 days we stayed, the weather was lovely with lots of sunny days, but watch out, the sun sets at 6pm and there's very little twilight, 30 minutes later and it's pitch black. The road outside is unlit so you'll need to use your phone's torch if walking out at night. There's a cluster of restaurants about a mile up the road, so it's walkable or there's parking opposite if you want to drive. Our favourites were Bourgainville, Chutneys and Tidez. Hugo from Horizon is very welcoming and provided a list of recommended activities, we did the catamaran cruise with JPH, Blue Safari submarine, 7 coloured earth, Black River national Park and Casala wildlife park. We had a fantastic time in Mauritius and the penthouse was just fabulous. My top tip... buy an Emtel tourist SIM for your phone so can use data without paying ruinous data roaming fees, I got mine from the Pingouin car rental desk in the airport, it was only 500Rs for 15 GB (less than £10 GBP) and lasted for the whole time we were in Mauritius.

Well maintained property with nice views.

Only 32 steps from apartment to the Indian Ocean. I have been in many places ,but this one is really amazing. Apartment on the ground floor is fantastic,inside you have all you need ,staring from wash machine and finish with barbecue and Harman blot pot for Music connection. Staff is really friendly and give you service whenever you need . The beach front is wow,if you don’t want then the alternative is swimming pool,very clean and is warm . We will come back again for sure !

We rented 2 apartments at Cap West for our visit to Mauritius for my daughter’s wedding. Both the penthouse and the apartment were clean and comfortable but what made our stay more enjoyable was the friendly and helpful attitude of all the staff. The wedding took place at a 5 star hotel but we all felt our stay at Cap West was more enjoyable as we all felt so relaxed and happy there.

We were agreeably surprised by both apartments. They were both clean, comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. The 2-bedroom apartment comfortably lodges 4 adults with a large living/dining area. The 3-bedroom apartment was very luxurious, with 2 living/sitting areas and balcony. All rooms have their own ensuite. The main asset is that the apartments are on the beach, not across the road but right on the beach. The beach and sea in front are both very clean; I am not sure if someone cleans it but there were no sea urchins at all, which is rare in Flic en Flac. Gardens well maintained and pool very clean. Security is excellent with guards patrolling the whole precinct. We felt very safe. The Hotel Manager Hugo is very welcoming and helpful. He is contactable nearly 24/7 and nothing is too much to ask. The maids, guards, gardeners are all very amiable, helpful and do an excellent job keeping the place clean. Our only regret is that we did not book for a longer stay. We will definitely be back.
