The Oberoi, Mauritius

I was at Oberoi Mauritius for a lunch and would like to share the exceptional experience i have had. Welcome by Jenny and Lorenzo made us feel like we are valued, lunch service by Mervin and co was perfect. Food had lots of creativity. I ate more with the eyes as they reflected the research and chef d'oeuvre of the chef. A special thanks to Sonah the food and beverage manager for his humbleness. If possible, we would like to revisit Oberoi and spend a week-end in this prestigious hotel

Pure luxury from the moment we arrived until the moment we sadly said goodbye. The hotel sits in acres of beautifully tended gardens which were a haven for a multitude of flora and fauna. The rooms are dotted amongst the grounds; we were lucky enough to have a private pool villa which was simply perfect. Every detail is taken care of and we both felt completely relaxed at the end of our stay. The Touching Senses programme is an excellent idea and we both enjoyed many activities including painting, wine tasting and a visit to a local Hindu temple (there are many more available). Thanks must go to the many staff we met all of whom were friendly and very helpful. Service is discrete and unobtrusive but extremely professional. Well done to Mr Pereira and his team - it was great to meet you all and we hope to return some day.

Room service was too good staff vey friendly. Helpful . Overall service and location was fantastic. Very happy and would like to go back again ... morning breakfast service was very good . All staff looked after us like family.. u feel like to stay even longer ...

My wife and I have just returned from an excellent 7day stay at The Oberoi. A totally relaxing and restful break. The staff could not of been more helpful and nothing was to much trouble. It was my choice to rest and relax as there was a plethora of watersports available along with more gentler taster activities. I recommend a villa with private pool which is what we had. Book now if you can. You will not regret it.

We spent two weeks in a garden villa with pool and loved every minute. This has to be one of the most romantic locations on the planet. The private villa is equipped for every conceivable need (including Netflix) and has lovely furnishings with an enormous bed, marble bathroom with sunken bath and even a storage room. The private pool is substantial and the pavilion overlooking it is the perfect place for breakfast, other meals and daytime reading quietly sheltered from the sun, lookiing towards the ocean. The villa is surrounded by high walls giving perfect privacy; staff only enter from outside when requested to do so. The garden is full of beautiful flowers and birds; we were delighted with the attempts of the sparrows to bring up a family, the antics of the bulbuls, insults of the mynahs and the cheekiness of the waxbills - a daily show worthy of the BBC. The delicious a la carte dining covers every need, the three restaurants are terrific and room service is an exercise in perfection. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff, and they go out of their way to surprise and innovate.Their friendliness and efficiency needs to be held up to others to see how a hotel should work. The activities arranged by the hotel are well thought out, fun, and provide focal points in a longer stay. Enjoying a cocktail as the sun sets from the beachfront bar is like something out of a dream. Without doubt this is the best hotel we have ever stayed in and we could not identify any faults of significance in our experience. It was a wrench to leave. For those considering this location, it is clearly focused on an experience which is both serene and uncomplicated; people are generally quiet, there are no golf bores in tartan shorts wittering on about missed putts, and you can be wholly yourself with that wonderful unintrusive service behind you at exactly the moment you want it. The level of privacy and relaxation is perfectly adjusted to the amazing coastal location and the superb landscaping in what is a significant nature park in its own right. We didn't use the watersports or the spa but both seem fully equipped for those who want such things. Oberoi has excelled itself here, a performance we have no doubt facilitated by the daily presence of the GM, Mr. Pereira,who is often encountered for a friendly chat. There can be no better location for those seeking to unwind and get away from the crazy rush of modern life.
