Beach Resorts in La Gaulette

"We were shown so much care, kindness and attention throughout our stay. Every team member: reception, admin, restaurant, kitchen, maintenance and cleaning were consistently friendly, helpful and professional. They worked hard and always had a smile on and enquired about our experience each time. The location was perfect: just a five‑minute walk to a beautiful part of the Flic en Flac lagoon, ideal for early‑morning swims and snorkelling. Breakfast was varied and generous, with cooked options, pastries, breads, cheeses and plenty of tropical fruits, plus extras like boiled eggs, pancakes and omelettes. Dinner changed nightly with cultural themes; I especially enjoyed the vegetables, salads, calamari and desserts. A few small improvements would help: boiling water at breakfast for tea, better coffee and water jugs at dinner. Rooms were cleaned daily, towels and beach towels replaced and the shower had good water pressure. Tea‑making facilities and a small fridge in the room were very convenient. The free carpark and on‑site gym were great bonuses. Good Wi‑Fi throughout and fun Sega dancing during the week added to the experience. Quiet, peaceful and welcoming — we made real connections with the staff and will definitely return. Thank you Aanari for taking great care of us. Bonne continuation. From Vancouver Island, Canada "

"Absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms are lovely, we stayed in a suite - room 747. And every few room sections there is a pool. The beach directly in front of our room was quiet and peaceful - in fact the whole resort felt very quiet even though it was Easter and it is a family resort, it’s so big that it felt relaxing. There were a number of restaurants at the sister hotel - La Paradis which we often walked to (there is also a shuttle bus that takes you there running every 15 mins). The spa was lovely. There were tennis courts, a well kitted out gym (not that we used it)! There were Beach bags in the rooms for us to keep (so don’t bother bringing one!), Bring sea shoes as the coral is sharp in places. Saw a turtle on our first day snorkelling. But it’s not an area for snorkelling I would say - We were half board which was sufficient for us. Things to improve: Allow breakfast to run later than 10am "

"La Pirogue is one of the loveliest hotels in the world! A well-balanced mix of laid-back island charm, with professionalism, friendliness, fun activities and the best hotel food you will find anywhere (mix of authentic local and themed international, always something for everyone and a classy pastry section straight out of Paris!). The grounds are picturesque and immaculate, whilst the staff are amazingly friendly and attentive. Cannot recommend La Pirogue highly enough! "

"We absolutely loved our stay at Happy Days Guesthouse in La Gaulette and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The guesthouse has such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind. Its location is excellent, with a great variety of restaurants and shops all within walking distance, which made everything very convenient. Our room and bathroom were both spacious, with plenty of room to feel comfortable, and we especially enjoyed having a balcony to relax on. It’s worth noting that there is no lift, only stairs, but this didn’t take away from our experience. The staff were truly wonderful. They were so warm and welcoming and made the whole place feel like home. We genuinely didn’t want to leave. Breakfast each morning was a highlight, with delicious fresh seasonal fruit and a French baguette that we simply couldn’t get enough of. The guesthouse is also ideally located for exploring, with beautiful beaches just a short drive away and many must-see spots in the southwest of Mauritius nearby. Overall, a fantastic stay in a lovely guesthouse. We would definitely recommend it."

"The overall experience was not good because of too many trainees, which caused low efficiency and mistakes."

"Nice hotel, spacious rooms, but would benefit from a refresh, helpful staff, good food."

"The hotel staff absolutely incredible, the service was fantastic and the hotel itself was very good. The pool bar staff absolutely joy, Nikish, Yash and co a really good laugh. There are many people like the towel lady, Adele absolutely diamond of a woman. "

"The staff were very friendly, there was never a time that you were not greeted by a staff member no matter what there role was there. We felt so welcome! "

"An ocean view room was reserved for my parents at the Sugar Beach hotel. They were celebrating their Golden (50th) anniversary. Initially they were given a room that was very far from the reception and required climbing stairs and didn't provide a clear ocean view (something we paid for). Also, they were not provided with drinking water in their rooms. On top of this, their in-room phone did not work. They were eventually moved to a better room on the ground floor, but the staff and service had already scarred the experience at the hotel. Prior to their stay at Sugar Beach, they stayed at the Le Meridien, where the staff, the service, the location were all top notch. The day and night difference between the two hotels made it worse at Sugar Beach. Will not be booking Sugar Beach Hotel again. "
