We were treated like royalty throughout! After the first day everybody knew us by name. The service was excellent and the rooms the best!

My husband and I spent a blissful honeymoon at the resort. We had taken a honeymoon package, and hence a bottle of champagne with fresh fruits was waiting for us as we entered our room. The room was excellent! Our room had a private patio with a garden overlooking the pool and was quite lovely. But the wow factor was... More

This was the first stop on our honeymoon and it never really lived up to the potential. The hotel buildings and location are certainly 5 Star. Sadly the restaurants were not even close to 5 star. However the cost certainly was. It really was a desperate shame as some of the staff were magnificent but were let down by the... More

What i loved abt this hotel was it is all self sufficient.. You dont have to go anywhere out looking for adventures. The water activites are all in-built and complimentary (some stuff) to guests. Everynight there is a different dinner theme and the breakfast spread is amazing! Rooms were spacious and like the name goes- Grand!

We went to the wrong hotel and after 20 plus hours of travel and while I couldn't remember why but I knew we had to go to the correct one. We were overjoyed when we reached The Grand Mauritian. The staff was so helpful..they stayed on top of the airline that didn't send our luggage and we were happy to... More

We have recently returned from the Grand Mauritian - its a very beautiful hotel but lacks the finishing touches to make it a 5 star. You are very limited to food choices - in the main restaurant 5 nights out of 7 they have a buffet - which was pretty average however on the 2 nights they had a table... More

We took our honeymoon here and unfortunately only enjoyed one day here because the resort burned down! It was very beautiful and we were obviously very glad no one was hurt, but very sad the fire happened! They said they are planning to rebuild, so stay tuned for when they will reopen.

We took our honeymoon here with our 8 month old son. The friendly staff and great service made it so easy for us. The rooms are comfortable, the food good and the staff accomodating. We would go back!
