The hotel

Those torn between ‘contemporary chic’ and ‘utterly authentic’ needn’t choose – after a radical revamp, Tropical Attitude promises both. All bold geometric design and luxe natural touches, this adults-only retreat gives grownups that boutique hotel feel and a genuine Mauritian experience. It starts with its location – facing a turquoise lagoon, just a free shuttle ride from the beautiful beaches at Ile aux Cerfs, it’s near the traditional fishing village of Trou d’Eau Douce. And it continues with its attitude – with real Mauritius found everywhere from its spa treatments to its experiences, including cookery lessons, a weekly ‘Made in Mauritius’ market, and home-cooked dinners at local families’ homes. Dining at Tropical Attitude is equally authentic, whether you’re at its intimate Kot Nou restaurant (which seats just 20 guests), tucking into Mauritian street food from TABA-j, or taking one of its picnic baskets over to Ile aux Cerfs. Book into one of the newer villas to enjoy a private pool all to yourselves, perfect for a special occasion.

The greeted me with a very warm welcome upon my arrival. Karen and Sehotel and all the staff at the hotel are wonderful. I can't remember everyones names, but I wiil name the ones I do. The reception staff greeted me with a very warm welcome on my arrival. There are a few staff on reception, but Karen and Selven to name a couple. All the staff who work to geet you and make sure you are seated in the perfect spot for your meals like Catrina and Christophe. You all helped make my stay special. Catrina, thank you for telling me that FIFI loved a bit of cheese. My lovely FIFI, I miss giving that gorgeous dog a tickle. Thank you Christope for the beautiful flower you gave me with the gorgeous bird of paradise you crafted in front of me from a banana leaf. So very talented. All the men and women who brought me drinks and behind the scenes cooking the lovely food. So much to choose from. You all work so hard, Taba J where Nancy and crew were all on hand to prepre some amazing dishes and it was always service with a smile. Always asking how my day was going. What I had been up to. You were all so lovely. The little shop where the lovely Alice would always greet me with a big smile. Telling me all about the different types of beautiful flowers on the island and where certain ones were in the hotel grounds. It was lovely to hear a bit about your family and to hear and see how passionate you are about your job and working at the hotel. Zaheen too, when Alice was off, she was there full of smiles and info about Mauritius. Deepa took care of my room and left me lots of different towel art everyday. I cant remember the name of the other lady that came when you were off. But you both worked so hard and kept my room pristeen. This hotel is beautiful with different types of rooms for different people. I had a pool villa, which was stunning. Everything I needed was there from a kettle to tea and coffee. The tv has various channels including movie channels. There is wifi and a direct dial phone. Huge shower, toilet and sinks. All spotless. The minibar fridge, wgere you go to see Alice or Zaheen and collect you drinks to fill it on a dail basis if your all inclusive. The pool was lovely along with my sun loungers and hammock. The beautiful seating area, and garden. It was all wonderful. Thank you for making my holiday special. I look forward to coming back and visiting again. Love to you all, Amanda xx There are so many of you, and you made my holiday more special. So a big thank you to you all. Read less

The staff is really kind and friendly, there is a free boat shuttle to Ile aux Cerfs island, which is a great opportunity. The hotel beach is really windy in july so would recommend taking the boat if you want a day on the beach. The hotel is located in a picturesque place, lots of sunbeds to choose from, it’s a good choice for your holiday
