The Oberoi, Mauritius

The Oberoi offers a profound sense of calm and serenity from the moment you arrive. The ambience is breathtaking, with stunning views at every turn. It is definitely a total contrast to busier, family oriented hotels and is perfect for couples and those seeking relaxation. The resort occupies a unique position among French colonial ruins. The views are fantastic and the construction is very sympathetic to the landscape with a certain timeless opulence. Really has to be experienced as photos do not do the hotel justice. We especially loved the adults only pool area with small private beach, a very relaxing spot. Our room was superb—spacious with high ceilings, powerful AC and a generous terrace with both chairs and sun loungers. Thoughtful details are everywhere, right down to the provided insect repellent, milk for hot drinks etc. The incredible staff are the heart of this hotel. They have really taken care of us during our stay. A huge thank you to Antish, our room supervisor who truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The general manager greeted us upon arrival and was visible around the resort, ensuring customers were happy. The food offering was overall great, especially the à la carte breakfast. The main restaurant was our favourite restaurant and it offers a wide range of dishes. The seafood and meat Thali is especially delicious, offering an authentic taste of Indian cuisine. The room service or ‘Private dining’ as they refer to it was also excellent on both occasions we used it. Delivery and presentation of the food to the room was excellent, really providing a special experience above normal room service. Portions are generous, with bread provided and the staff prepare the table with places set for you. The Bar next to the main restaurant offered well crafted cocktails which were not overly sweet as found in other resorts. The live guitar music performed at the bar created a perfect ambience and made our final night here one to remember. We also made use of the on site gym, which has a good range of equipment. Water and towels are offered and the temperature is perfect for a workout. Finally, we took an excursion to the botanic gardens and used the taxi company that work with the hotel near reception. We found the price to be fair and the driver was very friendly and gave us some interesting insight into the local landmarks, waited for us during our visit and drove us back to the hotel. In conclusion, this resort offers a really unique sense of tranquility and relaxation with luxury and attention to detail throughout. We definitely hope to return soon!

We stayed at the Oberoi for our honeymoon and could not be happier. It was absolutely amazing, everything from the room, the service and the level of hospitality from everyone that worked there. We tried all the restaurants and everything we ate was superb. A special thank you to the sommelier Rubesh who not only gave us great recommendations but also shared his knowledge in a privet wine tasting. Another special thank you to Shan who organised a surprise privet dinner on the beach for us. We recommend anyone that has opportunity to stay at the Oberoi Mauritius to do so, you will not be disappointed.

Arrival. Met with genuine warmth and sincerity by managers and other staff. Accommodation. Luxurious private Villa with pool. Well appointed and the pool temperature enhanced. Housekeeping. Exceptional, twice daily cleaning of the villa and daily replenishment of fruit, water and mini bar. Special attention to detail and treats provided. Pool and private garden cleaned daily. Food and beverages. One of the highlights of the holiday. All chefs produce high end, well presented and flavourful dishes. The quality of the produce is very good and the standard of all meals at all restaurants is high end. A number of special dishes were prepared for us at short notice following discussions with chefs, they went above and beyond. Service. All servers and managers were professional, and yet friendly, anticipating one’s needs as the stay progressed.Nothing was ever too much trouble for anyone, and we renewed old bonds of friendship. The grounds. Extensive, subtropical gardens, very well manicured and maintained. A great variety of flora and fauna. The atmosphere. Calm, tranquil and relaxing with the resort beaches in the grounds just yards from all accommodation. We have been fortunate to have holidayed at this special resort for many years now. All standards are exceptional and have continuously been maintained. We thank everyone for their Heart felt warmth, friendliness and service, which has again made our holiday special. A feeling of being welcomed home. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this resort, to anyone wanting a special holiday occasion
