The Oberoi, Mauritius

Back from a wonderful weekend at The Oberoi Mauritius, and it truly stands out as one of the best hotels on the island. Having visited several 5-star resorts, I can say that this one is exceptional. The service and hospitality are simply outstanding. In many hotels, you sometimes feel a difference in service depending on whether staff are trainees or from abroad, but here, every single team member is equally professional and attentive. As a Mauritian guest, I’ve occasionally experienced a slightly dismissive attitude in other hotels, but not here. At The Oberoi, every guest is treated with the same level of care and respect, which makes a huge difference. The pool area is superb. You don’t even need to ask for anything, staff anticipate your needs and bring water, towels, and even fresh fruits without you having to lift a finger elevating the experience. Cleanliness is impeccable, both inside the rooms and throughout the gardens. The room service is excellent, with amenities consistently replenished and everything kept spotless at all times. Dining was also a highlight. At the main restaurant, a special thank you to Mevin for his kindness, helpful recommendations, and flawless service, nothing ever seemed impossible for him. At On the Rocks, Kumar’s attentiveness truly stood out, he was incredibly kind, and my son was delighted to be able to collect his ice cream himself thanks to him. The boathouse team was also always warm and welcoming. Overall, it was an incredible stay from start to finish.

Our stay at The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius was truly exceptional. Set in a beautiful location, the resort offers a sense of calm, space and luxury from the moment you arrive. What really made the experience stand out was the people. Neetu and the entire team were incredibly warm, attentive and genuinely hospitable – they went above and beyond to make our stay feel personal and special. The food was consistently delicious, and every meal was something to look forward to. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this resort and very much hope to return in the future.

Really such a wonderful place to spend perfect holidays: Beautiful scenery, a very attentive staff with personal service!

Beautiful location on the drier side of the island, rooms very comfortable and laid out in extensive gardens. Staff friendly and attentive and very professional. Choice of restaurants all providing high quality delicious meals. Watching the sun set over the sea with a rum punch in hand a memorable experience. Plenty to keep you busy with free daily events such as wine tasting, cooking class or star gazing. Spa to revitalise and gym to keep you fit are recommended. We have stayed at other luxury hotels on the island but the Oberoi is in a league of its own.

We originally booked for the last week of February and the first week of March,flying Emirates via Dubai. BUT the US/Iran war intervened and our return flights were cancelled. so we ended up staying an extra nine nights in total. What a joy this hotel is. The Management and staff have a great guest focused ethic and could not be more helpful. The whole place is a peaceful oasis which serves excellent food with chefs who actually come to talk to guests after their meals. Nothing is too much trouble ,not even assisting with flight bookings(thank you Natacha),or extended accomodation deals. What more could you ask? David&Sandra
