Bois des Amourettes Trip

A Truly Memorable Stay – Warm, Welcoming, and So Worth It! My fiancé and I came from Canada and stayed two nights at Crystal Beach Resort Bellemare in December 2023 and it was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the warm welcome to the incredible service, everything was exceptional. The food was fresh and varied, the drinks were great, and the entire staff from reception, housekeeping and restaurant made us feel genuinely cared for. As Mauritians living abroad, we were deeply touched by how respectfully we were treated just like any international guest. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been our experience at every hotels we’ve been in Mauritius, but this hotel made us feel truly seen, welcomed, and appreciated. The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable, and the heated pool was the cherry on top. We felt completely relaxed and on vacation. I loved it so much that we gifted a stay to my parents a 2 nights all-inclusive stay. It was their first-ever hotel getaway and they were absolutely glowing with happiness the entire time! If you’re looking for a peaceful, genuine, and high-quality stay in Mauritius, whether you’re local or visiting from abroad, we can’t recommend this hotelenough. We’ve already started recommending it to our friends and colleagues in Canada who are thinking about visiting Mauritius! To the entire team: Thank you so much for making this experience, both for us and for my parents, something truly distinctive and unforgettable!

We (husband and I) recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel in Mauritius. If you're considering this hotel primarily for its food and water sports, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Unfortunately, both aspects were a letdown during my visit. The food was mediocre at best, failing to meet the high expectations I had. I was hoping for a variation of delicious local and international flavors and dishes, but what I experienced was less than satisfactory. Similarly, the water sports were underwhelming. I attempted water activities on two separate occasions, and both times the offerings failed to impress. It felt like the experiences didn't quite live up to the excitement promised. However, if your focus is on beautiful scenic views, a relaxed atmosphere, and some tranquil moments, then the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel is definitely worth considering. The serene environment and breathtaking vistas make it an ideal spot for unwinding and enjoying the natural beauty of Mauritius. Overall, I would rate my experience at the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel three stars. It's a lovely place to relax, but not the best choice if you're looking for great food or thrilling water sports.

Beautiful beach, gardens and accommodation. Super friendly, helpful and professional staff Good food with variety of options. Very quiet and relaxing.

A very calm and serine property if you're looking for a relaxing vacation. Staff and hotel management is very helpful and proactively listens to your requests and concerns. Will definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a quiet holiday. Will stay again for sure. Thank you to the staff and management team for a wonderful vacation.

We stayed at Le Jadis in one of their beach villas, and for the price they charge, the experience was honestly disappointing. We found several bugs — on the couch and even in the bathroom — and there were a lot of mosquitos, with my wife getting the majority of the bites. For a supposedly five-star luxury villa, that’s really not acceptable. Parking was also a hassle. Despite staying in one of their premium villas, I was asked to park outside the resort because there wasn’t enough parking available. For a hotel in this price range, that’s simply poor planning and not the kind of experience you expect. When we requested a late checkout, the hotel only offered an extra hour, even though they confirmed they weren’t fully booked. This was especially disappointing after explaining that my wife is pregnant — the lack of empathy and flexibility really stood out. Some of the staff members were great, particularly the waiters, who were polite and attentive. However, the concierge service could be improved — when I asked a few basic questions, they didn’t seem to know the answers and had to check with the manager. To make matters worse, we were accused of taking extra snacks from the minibar, which we did not. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially given that we had already paid for a high-end villa experience. The food was good but limited, which again doesn’t justify the premium price tag. Overall, Le Jadis looks luxurious on the surface, but the actual experience —
