The hotel

The Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius lies in stunning tropical gardens along the Turtle Bay Marine Park. Many guests return again and again to enjoy its array of activities, many of which are included in your All Inclusive package, or to simply relax by the pool or on the beautiful beach. Discover the resort's wealth of dining options, from international buffet to 'feet in the sand'-style dining, Asian delicacies, and traditional cuisine. La Marée Beach Restaurant is the place for to enjoy delicious Mediterranean dishes on the beach as the sun goes down. For a special treat, indulge in a meal at LaKaz Kreol, a Mauritian family-style restaurant seating just 10 people, or visit the hotel's Château Mon Désir, a colonial-style mansion overlooking the historic ruins of Balaclava and the Citron River, or experience the new brasserie style restaurant set inside historical ruins. Visit the horses at the hotel's wonderful equestrian centre — and be sure to stop by the giant tortoise park on your way. There is also a superb spa at the hotel with lovely gardens, where you can take in the natural sounds of paradise as you relax in the tranquillity area behind the specially-made waterfall… heaven.

The place might be good, food was good as well but for me the staff attitude counts the most. This was one of my worst experiences how the staff address Mauritians - their body language and they pick and choose people whom they want to greet. They tend to forget that few years back they were at a point of losing everything due to covid and it was the locals who supported and gave them opportunity to survive and keep their jobs. Personally the first thing I conside when entering a resort is the staff attitude and they failed badly here. Read less

We stayed 9 nights at the Maritim Resort and Spa in June 2025. Pros: Beautiful place, the Spa was outstanding, I had a facial with Natasha which was the best facial i have ever had, so 5 stars to Natasha!! The pools were excellent and the beach was all we expected. The food was a good selection of mostly spiced foods, Staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a ground floor deluxe room which was very nice watching the beautiful sunset. Cons: Waiting for tables at mealtimes was annoying as tables not being cleared and having to ask them to be set. Restaurant staff had no guidance therefore it was chaotic. There was a dress code which was not followed, the birds were a nuisance flying around the restaurant causing it to be covered in bird poo. Not hygienic. We were unfortunate to be there when a corporate party of adults and children arrived and caused absolute chaos. The bar staff were overwhelmed and other guests could not get served - children running around all night, also sitting at the bar after 11pm. This is obviously down to the parents. It was quieter during the day around the pool but the sunbeds were heavily stained and you definitely need a towel to cover them with. We booked through Tropical Sky who were excellent, they did put on our booking that it was a special occasion (it was our 25th Wedding Anniversary) when asked at reception what the occasion was they asked us for proof Lol.

Her friendly & efficient support made the entire process smooth. We were warmly welcomed by Kishan and Rati, whose hospitality & helpfulness made the check-in experience seamless. The staff at the restaurant & Bar as well as the housekeeping staff were consistently attentive, making every interaction feel very welcomed. Dining options were good and delicious. The added touch of wildlife, like the giant tortoises, made the stay very memorable. Not to forget the sunset view was amazing. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious place to be. Read less

One of the worst experience I had with a hotel. Upon arrival, we noticed that no one was here to welcome us. We had to look for someone who welcomed us coldly. The room was very clean though and beautiful. Though, the terrace door was broken, the room experience was good. The staffs are extremely rude and they make you feel that you are disturbing them. A waiter even said that she cannot give me coffee because there is a lack of staff. I waited for the coffee which never came. The boat house people are very friendly though. Concerning the food, well for breakfast and lunch, the basics were okay but the food was repititive. We stayed for a few days and nothing changed for breakfast. The same ingredients, same flavor like even for the yogurt, the hotel did not try to give another flavor. For dinner there is not much choice and the quality is quite bad. 4 among us got diarrhea and acute belly pain. For the bar, some barmans were very rude and they did not even care to take our order. We kept on being ignored and other people who came after us were getting served. Well i dont know if the fact that we are Mauritian change something Anyway i had better cocktails in smaller hote ls. You have many activities that you can do but don't expect to get a good ambiance. The hotel is quiet after dinner and you can hear the music from the other hotels nearby. Overall this is a 5 star hotel with a 3 star hotel service and staffs with bad attitude. Read less
