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.

Where do I begin, We have travelled to so many hotels all over the world. This hotel is rated 3 star. I have stayed in 5 star hotels which don’t match this hotel. The staff go above and beyond. Karen at guest relations. Is so helpful nothing is to much trouble. So friendly and kind. We booked 2 trips through Karen they were amazing and made our holiday. Karen also booked a barbecue in our villa which was amazing . The food is excellent lots of choices and changes daily. The chefs are amazing nothing is too much trouble for them. Nancy in the shack was so lovely. The weather was hit and miss as it is winter but this didn’t bother us as we always found something to do. The beaches on this island are beautiful. The hotel offer a free boat transfer to a lovely beach. If you book this hotel I would recommend a villa they are beautiful and worth the upgrade. Finally all I would like to say is thank you to all the staff to many names to mention. Can’t wait to come back. Don’t hesitate to book this hotel. Read less

Absolutely stunning hotel. We were warmly greeted when we arrived. The staff are very friendly and always smiling. The location of the hotel is breathtaking. The beach is right outside your room and you can take long walks along the beach and enjoy all the natural and stunning beauty. The food was sensational and absolutely delicious and served by staff who are friendly helpful and look after you like you’re the only ones there. The staff who looked after our room made little animals from the towels. It was such a lovely surprise to come back and see a different animal every day. There are lots of places to visit in Mauritius and the hotel will arrange for you to go out on excursions You can be as busy or as quiet as you like There are plenty of things to do and there are also plenty of opportunities to relax We adored our stay at the hotel and cannot wait to return.
