The Ravenala Attitude

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

All-suite and all-inclusive, the Ravenala Attitude is styled in contemporary, colonial and tropical hues. With an open-plan, no boundaries design, the restaurants and bars flow seamlessly towards the pool, gardens and beach beyond. But it’s not all about appearances — it goes deeper. Its ‘Culinary Voyage’ takes you from Asia to Italy in nine restaurants, seven of which you can sample as part of your All-Inclusive package. You can tuck into 'Granmamas' Mauritian fare at Kot Nou, street-food takeaways on the beach at Taba-J, and enjoy the romance of the floating Riviera restaurant. The kids' clubs provide various fun activities, whilst the Sport Village and Boat House offer endless diversions, from kayaking along Rivière Citron to riverbank yoga. And the hotel's ‘Otentik’ concept gives you a true insight into Mauritius, in cookery classes, local music, a self-guided tours app, and a weekly ‘Otentik Bazar’, with all profits from the ‘made in Mauritius’ goodies going to the craftspeople. You can even dine on ‘Otentik Dinners’ with locals in their homes. This charming resort is great for families, with large rooms and a range of activities, whilst couples will love staying in the Executive Seafront Adult Suites in the adults-only section.

As a local, I'm always on the lookout for great spots to unwind with friends, and our recent day at the Ravenala hotel exceeded all expectations. The hotel is very well maintained, and gives the classic Mauritian feel. We loved wandering through the beautifully landscaped grounds, discovering hidden corners and enjoying the vibrant tropical atmosphere. It is one of the rare hotels where you can both get a beach AND a river to explore ! A major highlight of our day was the exceptional food and drinks. We indulged in a delightful lunch at Mozaik, but I have also been to Ming Restaurant before, where the quality and variety of options were outstanding. The fresh seafood and local dishes were particularly delicious. The expertly crafted cocktails by the pool were also a highlight, and a truly enjoyable experience. What really stood out, and something I especially appreciated as a Mauritian resident, was the genuine warmth and excellent service extended to us. Sometimes, locals can feel overlooked in tourist-heavy areas, but at The Ravenala Attitude, we felt completely valued and well-catered for. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. It’s refreshing to experience such genuine hospitality within our own country. The overall ambiance of The Ravenala Attitude was fantastic – a perfect blend of relaxed and vibrant. There was a lovely energy about the place, making it an ideal setting for a fun day out with friends. Our day trip left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and we couldn't ask for anything more !

Welcoming staff. Nice hotel. Food good but lack variety. Activities and staff are very partIcipative and friendly. The day package is worth and accessibility of food and bar are a plus. Hotel premises is clean. Pool is beautiful as well as the terrace upstairs. Unfortunately pool water is green.
