"We loved this place! The overall setting was stunning, our room was nice and comfortable with the beautiful views of the beach and the pools. The food was delicious and the setting was very romantic. The complimentary shuttle to the nearby town about 20 minutes away was very helpful. The water level on the beach was a little too shallow for our taste, but we still enjoyed it. Two faithful, well behaved dogs on the property had surely added yo the atmosphere! We would love to return!"

"Beautiful and relaxing stay. The resort is big with multiple pools, restaurants and amenities. The beach of the property is long. The staff is very kind and helpful. Mr. Yassin from reception helped us a lot. Check in was fast.
During our stay the hot water suddenly stopped. We call the reception they sent someone to fix it and they upgrade us the next night.
The doors of the rooms and balcony need some renovation. Otherwise the stay was amazing and refreshing.
I recommend it"
"We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel and were impressed from the moment we arrived. The hotel is absolutely stunning as soon as you walk through the entrance, with a spacious open-plan layout that creates a welcoming atmosphere and provides plenty of room for families to relax and enjoy their stay.
One of the standout features of the hotel is the exceptional staff. Every member of the team was warm, friendly, and always willing to help with a smile, which made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay.
The resort itself is set within large, beautifully maintained grounds, offering plenty of space to explore and unwind. There is an excellent variety of food and dining options available, each with its own unique charm. The spa facilities are beautiful and provide the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. We were also very impressed by the boathouse team, who were incredibly helpful and accommodating. As a beginner solo snorkeller, I asked whether one of the crew members could accompany me, and without hesitation this was arranged. Their support and encouragement made for a positive snorkelling experience.
Breakfast each morning was excellent, with an impressive selection of options catering to a wide range of tastes. The area for improvement would be the check-in and check-out process, which could be made a little smoother and quicker. I would happily recommend this hotel and would like to return in future."

"Our stay at the InterContinental Mauritius Resort was absolutely exceptional and one of the best family vacations we have ever had. From arrival to departure, the warmth and professionalism of the staff made us feel welcome and truly cared for.
Special thanks to Khushi at check-in for the smooth welcome, and Arun for his warm greetings and help with luggage.
Dining was a major highlight. As vegetarians, we were extremely impressed by the variety, freshness, and quality of food. In our opinion, this is probably the best 5-star resort in Mauritius for vegetarians. Huge thanks to chefs Surya, Suresh, and especially Jaywantee for the outstanding food and hospitality.
Special mention to Swapnali at Veda for her wonderful service.
A very special heartfelt thank you to Vimla at Senso Buffet for her exceptional service, kindness, and attentiveness every day—she truly made our stay memorable.
Thanks also to Moupiya, Ajay, Issen, Naveen, Sajpal, Govinda, Hareesh, Dipesh, Reshma, and RamGopal for excellent buffet service.
The spa with Purnima, Anjanee, and Danish was relaxing and excellent. Greg at beach towels was always helpful and friendly.
Special thanks to Reshma, Joella, and Brenda from Kids Club for taking such great care of our children. Reshma went above and beyond to keep my son happy and engaged; really appreciate it.
An amazing resort with outstanding people, food, and memories—we can’t wait to return!"
