My trip to Mauritius

I was fortunate enough in November to be invited on a 5 night trip to Mauritius with The Holiday Factory, one of our approved suppliers to view a few of their properties. We flew on Air Mauritius and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at their aircraft, having last flown with them 13 years ago! Their aircraft was modern, with touch screens behind each seat and the service was excellent. Our first two nights were spent at the La Plantation Resort, a 4 Star Deluxe property located just North of Grand Baie on the West Coast. We stayed in a Superior room and it has a sea view. The hotel is well managed; even a few South Africans were on the Management, Food & Beverage team. The beach is lovely and is located in a bay. The hotel offers all the non-motorised water sports as well as the glass bottom boats, water skiing and wake boarding is on offer. The Spa is a must for honeymooners or couples and for those looking for some TLC!

On our third day we visited the 5 Star Grand Mauritian Hotel. This hotel is fairly new and is located just down the road from La Plantation. This property is amazing! With the design and layout you hardly realise just how big it is. They have a slightly longer beach with separate areas for bathing and the water sports. I would recommend this hotel for the discerning traveller who is looking for their slice of luxury with peace and quiet.

We then had lunch at the 4 Star Deluxe Intercontinental Hotel situated next door. This is also a new property with beautiful beach areas, a fantastic kiddies club for families and it has a great spa and gym area.

Our next two nights were spent at the 4 Star Indian Resort. It is located close to Le Morne on the South West Coast. This is a vibey hotel with a great atmosphere and it has everything that a family would look for, for a perfect Mauritian holiday.

Lastly we visited the 4 Star Ambre, located on the East Coast. This hotel offers very much the same layout as the Indian Resort and it has all the facilities that a family would need including a beautiful long stretch of beach.

All in all there is a hotel in Mauritius to suite any requirement. Just give me a call or email me so that I can offer you the best hotel to suite your needs! Regards Natalie
