Hotels Near Tysplash in Flic en Flac

I don't know what to say, except THANK YOU to those who welcomed us with open arms in this modest residence but at the same time full of everything you need. The wifi worked perfectly (even if we didn't care much since we were on vacation and not for work), television worked but never watched, everything was always clean, breakfast not very variable but honestly had everything you needed to start the day with strength. The boy who welcomed us, remained in our hearts to the point that we were all sad to leave and he said goodbye to us from the taxi with infinite sweetness. I highly recommend it as a solution to be able to tour the island well and be independent. The pool was wonderful, but with that sea we never swam in it. The beach is a 10 minute walk away as is the supermarket.

There are four star hotels, five star hotels and, if you believe the hype of the Emirates Palace in the UAE, even seven star hotels but in my opinion few match La Pirogue. It’s not all glitz, glass, chrome or smoke and mirrors but something very special that it has successfully held onto since its opening in 1976. That something is delivered in spades by La Pirogue as a charming, extremely comfortable, beautifully appointed, beach side paradise that exudes all the traditional aspects of Mauritius. The architecture, the accommodation, the food and most importantly the people who work there together have made our holiday so special and memorable. We had the standard garden bungalow which was quiet, very comfortable and kept impeccably clean and tidy by our housekeeping lady Marianna. It had everything you need for some very comfortable and long sleeps although we tended to set our alarm quite early to walk on the very long, clean, sandy beach. Each early morning walk was followed by a lovely breakfast buffet which offered every type of breakfast you could reasonably think of with eggs and noodle dishes being made fresh to order. Two beachside restaurants offer very tasty food with the choice of dishes enough to tide you over to the evening buffet. Each evening the buffet loosely followed a geographic theme with the very extensive choice of dishes provided to a high standard. Through these journeys of the world cuisines the highlights for us were the Mauritian and Chinese nights. The beach, the very extensive hotel grounds and the beautiful pool area are maintained to a high standard by a hard working team of gardeners. So there in a nutshell you have my thoughts on the hotel itself. However, none of the above would be possible without the team of people who work tirelessly day and night to ensure that the hotel delivers what is promised as you first enter the grounds. In all our travels around the world for business and holidays we have never been so privileged to have been treated the way we have over the last two weeks. To say they’re friendly is an understatement. Every one greets you with a smile and a chat that is not at all forced but a natural reaction to the way the hotel is run as (cliched I know) a very big, happy family. With four hundred plus members of staff it’s impossible to mention all of them but those we met that delivered above and beyond expectations were Sophie, Wendy, Amelia and Suman (Coconut Café), Kamla, Lobin, Suresh, Augun, Prayag, Ravin, Ajay (Wolmar) and of course the chefs, Diksha, Mary Jane and Ketia and last but not least the captains of the kitchen Vik and Vikram. I hope I spelled all the names correctly.

The hotel was not what i expected from a 5 star. I believe that they are going to do renovations this year. I had half board and wanted to upgrade to all inclusive but they don’t offer all inclusive had I known this before, I wouldn’t have book at this hotel. So full board was and extra Rs8000 and you could only have 2 glasses of wine or two beers included. I can’t understand how the hotel can’t see that this encourages guests to purchase alcohol outside of the hotel. Anyways the bar staff were exceptional in making you feel welcome and really spoilt my daughter for her birthday. One in particular named Sahil. This guy is truly a diamond in the rough. Our time at the hotel was rainy weather but we still enjoyed it with people like Sahil around. Thank you!

Extremely beautiful views and such a nice place to have lunch with friends, under the tree, with the birds singing and the waves crashing on the white sandy beach We had a warm welcome at the reception and Varun at the restaurant was the most pleasant, accommodating and provided us with prompt service. If you are looking for a casual place to have lunch, with an incredible view, this is definetely a place to visit La Mariposa is a true little gem

The hotel is in ebene, similar to the high-tech park, it is convenient to the office, the hotel breakfast is OK, there is not a gym, but the facilities are more practical. Parking is very convenient with lots of parking spaces. The service staff is enthusiastic and many needs can be resolved in a timely manner.

I travelled to Mauritius for business in both Feb and March 2020, staying at Villa Anakao for 5 nights and 3 nights respectively. This is an excellent option if you are looking for a quiet, laid back retreat away from the flashy resorts and built-up areas such as Port Louis. As mentioned in previous reviews, staff are really friendly and go out of their way to make your stay an enjoyable one. The food is excellent, home-cooked Mauritian dishes each night served outside in a covered eating area by the pool. Breakfast is also good, with eggs cooked to order and fresh fruit. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and have everything you need for a pleasant stay. As a business traveller I was away for most of the day but it was great to come back in the evening, sit on the verandah with a couple of beers and enjoy a traditional Mauritian dinner each night. For those on holiday, the pool area is simple but clean and well-maintained, and there is a beach a couple of minutes’ walk away. Just to note, I would highly recommend hiring a car if staying here - there aren’t really any shops or restaurants within walking distance and although public buses are frequent, you will have a lot more freedom with a car. Driving in Mauritius is easy, hiring a car is inexpensive and there is secure parking on the premises.

Mauritius has lived here twice, and their restaurants are open to the public. Local lawyers say that because they are run by French bosses, although other aspects are common, the quality of food is definitely one of the best in the country, and many locals will also dine on weekends. The quality of the cuisine is better than those of the higher-end hotels and resorts that are far away. This time, I ate a Japanese beef steak with a discount. My friend was smashed, the meat was very old, the hotel was redone and the service was very good! There is no high-class beach in the capital of Port Louis, but if you are on a business trip, living in this area is very good.

The restaurant is average, and it is not suitable to like lively and popular Chinese people, so there may be more white customers in Europe and the United States, but we have to praise the service of the hotel. We caught up with the outing during the unusual period, and we have not heard of the outbreak of the new crown. As a result, the situation was pooping two days later. By the last day of our stay, I wanted to return to China. The situation was very serious. I walked to several pharmacies and didn't buy medical masks. So I tried to find a doctor's office. The staff's English is also relatively general. It should be mainly French. We communicated very poorly for a long time. The male doctors in the infirmary were older and they helped us call and ask which pharmacy had a mask. After confirming that they did not have one, they wrote it. Feng letter to the nurse station of the respiratory department of the local hospital, let us go to wear a mask, thank you very much for the upright male doctor and the local doctor. We went to the hospital for a half-day tour by car and got 12 valuable medical masks. After returning to the child with basic protection, I would like to thank the two local serious but friendly black doctors.
