The hotel

Completely renovated in 2017, this innovative resort has been designed by Kelly Hoppen and delivers an eclectic mix of effortless sophistication and relaxed informality, as well as signature LUX* touches. In a peaceful location, rooms overlook the triple-bay beaches and calm lagoon. There are beautiful gardens to wander in; stopping awhile to lounge on beanbags and hammocks dotted beneath coconut, banyan and filao trees. There are land and water sports galore, plus a world-class golf course nearby and bikes for exploring tropical hillsides or the local markets and village of Cap Malheureux. The LUX* Me Spa is a true haven, offering a range of indulgent treatments as well as yoga and dynamic exercise classes. Dining-wise, you’ll be spoilt for choice, with delicious island-inspired and international dishes. Chat to the chef and watch your meal being created at The Palm Court, savour the cultures of Peru at INTI and visit Under the Banyan for mouthwatering burgers, wood-smoked meats and inventive cocktails at the French Kiss Bar.

My wife, 2 children and i have just spent 7 amazing days at the Lux Grande Gaube. From the moment we arrived the entire experience was fantastic. Visham upgraded us to the Ocean view suite which was extremely well laid out and had everything we needed for the stay with breathtaking views of the lagoon. The resort was exceptionally beautiful and spotless... The main reason for writing this review was to congratulate the staff who looked after us so well. Visham - Thank you for the upgrade and constantly checking in with us to see if we were comfortable. Deepuk - (Head Chef) Thank you for accommodating our vegetarian specialist dietary requirements. Ensuring the entire kitchen team were aware of our requirements and creating exceptional meals throughout our stay. Singh - (Kitchen Team/Chef) Thank you for the delicious meals you created for us during our stay. Especially the masala dosa on the last breakfast Aarti - (Kitchen Team/Chef) Thank you for the delicious meals and attention to detail, you did everything with a genuine sense of care and a smile. Amit - (Pool side Life Guard) Thank you for your great conversations by the pool, especially your words of wisdom to my son. Your ability to connect with guests is amazing making us feel so comfortable. The entire team at Lux made our trip truly amazing, the genuine duty of care shown throughout the resort was exceptional and a true reflection of the Mauritian culture. Thank you Team Lux Grande Gaube From the Patel Family (UK) Read less

We chose this as our honeymoon hotel and it really is stunning, it does feel luxury. and the staff are so good at what they do. They do some honeymoon freebies such as a free cocktail making class, it was only short but it was nice nonetheless. The guy who did our cocktail class in Inti was lovely and he also gave us a cocktail to try when we dined with them on the evening which was generous. They didn't do any bed decor with towels which i did expect, but its nothing major to ruin a holiday. The drink to the room and canapes was a nice touch also. The free sea activities is great. Loved having the Library. One of the beach waiters, an older man, heard if it was our honeymoon and said in the morning he will do us a display on the beach, we felt awful as we didn't go down straight in morning as we missed breakfast, but saw it later on and it was a heart shape out of petals so sweet. The staff are amazing, super smiley, friendly and chatty which makes such a difference to your time here. Reception staff, Inti staff, carole staff, beach & Pool waiter staff. We did a rum tasting and i cant remember his name but he was lovely. It was a bit formal, could have been a little more lively/fun, maybe some music etc, but still it was good to learn and try. The buffet we did find a bit repetitive, but the pasta station was great and we enjoyed the Indian station. The restaurants were so lovely, bodrum and Carole smokehouse were really nice, shame the Carole is the only Mauritian restaurant and if its rains they could potentially close due to being outside, that should be the main restaurant when in Mauritius! haha. Inti was also good however we were supposed to get 30% off and only got 20% we should have questioned it there at the time but didn't. Drinks were all lovely, however we didn't realise they offered 'classic' cocktails until the end of out holiday, we thought it was only what was on the menu, i think classic cocktails should be displayed on the menu. The adult area is amazing, i wish the pool was heated like the kid one, as it is simply too cold in winter to go in the adult pool. We found if we joined the beds at mid day we would struggle to get towels or know where they were, think they need to get some more so they don't run out during the day and have it labelled clearly where they are. We were confused as to where the prosecco bar was as it didn't seem to be an actual place, they did a sunset hour at one of the restaurants which was advertised as prosecco, but then you had to pay for the prosecco? everyone was confused as we could get prosecco for free on the all inclusive inside, but outside we had to pay? makes no sense. The prosecco should be free on arrival for the event. If you just want a taxi to 1 or 2 places, they do try and make it into a 'tour' and it costs a lot, we had to barter to get the price down as we said we did a long tour the day before for cheaper and the place we wanted to go the day after was closer to the hotel, yet they were charging more (the tour price). However the tour we did do was great, the guide was amazing, took us around every where, very chatty, gives you snacks and drinks, wifi in the car - really good, would recommend. Overall i would recommend this hotel its clean, modern, great service and friendly staff. Read less

We had a great stay the Lux Grand Gaube, we were there for 7 nights and it was a lovely experience. Special mention to Manav who was a great waiter at the pool for myself and my family, making sure we always had drinks and also reserved our sunbeds ready for us after breakfast. He was an absolutely star during the stay and made the experience even better. Food was one of the best we’ve had at an all-inclusive, with chef Singh providing us with special dishes that we requested. The food at Inti was our favourite, as was full of flavour and the service was great. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone staying at the restaurant. A couple of improvements are the bar staff were slightly slow to get our drinks to us and there weren’t many sitting areas for larger groups to sit and play cards / games apart from the lobby area which was not in eyesight of the evening entertainment. But all in all, we had a great stay and would recommend it to others. Read less
