Everything was like a dream. Service and the rooms were just fantastic.

We were impressed by the range of facilities that were included - tennis, table tennis, watersports, some of the spa, gym. The breakfast buffet was extensive and varied with a range that suited many different tastes. The beach was lovely with golden sand and shallow water. The pools were a little chilly but we did travel in the winter period. An additional nice touch was that the barista coffee bar was included in the B&B meal package. The staff could not be more attentive and helpful. Nothing was too difficult and they were always keen to help. Slyvano the barista was really lovely and made a fantastic range of coffees! There was an impressive selection of restaurants but we mainly ate dinner outside the hotel as we had hired a car and Grand Baie was only 15 mins away. Our Lux Suite was large and enabled our teenage daughter to have a separate room and bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the room clean and tidy. There were some minor signs of wear and tear. There was a comprehensive selection of channels on TV - I was even able to watch England v the All Black live! I would say that this was the best Five Star Hotel that I have ever stayed in.

Gorgeous resort with lovely staff. The fresh and grand entrance / reception area to the resort was an instant 'hit of luxury'. It was instantly a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere on arrival. The staff were always attentive and friendly. They catered well for both couples and families. Rooms were clean and very comfortable. Loved the fresh local coffee every morning with the incredibly well provisioned and freshly prepared buffet breakfasts... sooo much to choose from! Buffet dinners were also impressive in regard to variety and freshness. As most travellers know; the food offered can make or break a holiday. Lux Grand Gaube was exceptional 👌 A special thank you to the manager and staff of the Beach Rouge restaurant on the main beach. They went the extra mile to enhance our dining experience after a very minor misunderstanding (which was no ones fault). Very gracious and generous people 🤗 We joined in on some of the free resort activities on offer which we loved, including the glass bottom boat over the nearby reef (saw a sea turtle), yoga, kayaking, water exercise classes, high intencity exercise classes, outdoor cinema and more. The resort spa was also a delight. My young daughter and I had a facial together, and then I had a fantastic warm stone massage (thank you Preeta). The ladies at the spa were very welcoming and friendly. A shout out to the resort's taxi drivers who are available on hand at reception to take you anywhere you want. Price is agreed up front and very reasonable! We found it cheaper and more personal to have one of these taxi drivers take us around to different attractions instead of booking through tour operators, etc. The driver waited for us and then took us to the next location we requested. They even suggested some places along the way which value-added to our day trips. Before going to Mauritius, I was worried about mosquitoes and the risk they posed.
