Africa Adventure Holidays

Overall, I had a great stay at The Residence Mauritius and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, the service was warm, and the beach is simply spectacular—without doubt one of the hotel's greatest assets. That said, there are areas where I believe the hotel could improve. The biggest disappointment was the food at the main buffet. The quality was average, and on some occasions even below average. For a five-star resort in Mauritius, this was surprising, especially considering that many other luxury hotels on the island offer exceptional dining experiences. Coming from the hospitality industry myself, I genuinely believe this property has enormous potential. The foundations are already there: a beautiful location, excellent beach, charming atmosphere, and a strong team. With greater focus on the food and beverage offering and continued attention to detail, I have no doubt it could become one of the standout luxury resorts in Mauritius. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay and would happily return. At this stage, however, I would personally rate the hotel between **4 and 4.5 stars**, rather than a full five stars.

We recently stayed here and picked the hotel because of a couple of things - quiet beach and the eco friendly credentials - both of which we thoroughly enjoyed and I’d give a 5 star for that. The staff are really great and mostly super helpful - once they get to know you especially if you are not Italian. Couple of things to note: The hotel is 90% catered to Italians so if you don’t like pasta and pizza you are pretty much stuck. One of us was vegetarian so ate pizza and chips the entire time which wasn’t so nice! On the positive side the gelato was first class but you had to ask for it , so if you didn’t know, you would easily miss out on it! And if you want to take nice insta worthy pictures after dressing up in the evenings then better be prepared to pay premium for a drink just to get a nice glass or land up taking picks in papercups because that’s all you get as an All inclusive paying customer! And noop apparently it’s non negotiable to get a decent glass at the bar otherwise! Finally our room - it was probably the farthest from the beach and right behind the amphitheater. The room was smelling mouldy and full of mosquitoes when we entered which to be fair they fixed quickly by cleaning with a strong cleaner and spraying with repellent. But we couldn’t do much about the noise level in the evening. Overall we loved the beach and the quiet location of the hotel.

We traveled and took a flight for 2 and half days. When we reached at the hotel no lunch was provided to us. We even asked if we can get lunch while arriving there we were told no however other tourists
