For a small hotel. The new year`s eve celebration was good value for money. Good food and good sega show for entertainment.
Unfortunately, the set up for the dinner has to be modified because of the rain, as some tables were set around the pool.
The room was clean but the furniture needs to be renewed or refreshed.
The staff, mainly at the reception was helpful and pleasant. Special congrats for Robert and his team for the wonderful organisation

We have just completed two weeks pre-Christmas de-stressing in Mauritius, This was our first visit to the island and this hotel and location provided an excellent base for exploring and chilling.

Good points - staff and management team are warm, attentive and flexible. The hotel has its own pool with ample loungers and a clean beach area. Its not a swimming beach but the pool more than makes up for this.

The rooms are cleaned every day and during our stay the hotel was being refurbished by the new owners, nothing intrusive but visibly being improved by the day.

No negatives for us really but be aware that the evening meal is a buffet which is mainly indian and creole dishes (which we liked!). However if you need or want something special the chef is more than obliging.

Would we go back? Yes.

The reviews on this hotel are all pretty accurate - it really is a very homely and lovely spot away from all the usual tourist hotels. From about a month ago (Sept 2011) it is now operated by the same group of hotels that operates Le Recif, which is my all-time favourite little Mauritian hotel, but which was full at the time of this visit. As a result of the change the shuttle to La Plantation no longer runs. I like it for the high service level, its excellent value for money and that it is close to Port Louis for business meetings. I think the menu could become predictable - but I ate out at other places a lot. Only two small negatives - no safes in the rooms for passports & forex, and the pool chemicals were extremely hard on the eyes - they need a salt chlorinator! Otherwise a great hotel..

The Les Cocotiers may only be 2* but gives 5* value. Staff very attentive nothing too much trouble. Food plentiful and varied. Drinks prices reasonable. Don't go to the Les Cocotiers for the entertainment, it is only provided on the Saturday BBQ Night, if your not there then you will need to make your own.
The hotel is on the beach which is sandy man made at the edge of the hotel and hard sharp coral in the sea so you need shoes on to bathe. The hotel pool though is excellent and cleaned of leaves etc every morning. There is a courtesy bus to their 4* sister hotel 3 days a week but drinks and snacks prices are much dearer than the Les Cocotiers but the beach is sandy.
Rooms are basic but large and airy. The air conditioning is worthwhile and makes sleeping easy as the temperature doesn't drop much in the evening.
