Tropical Attitude

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Star rating

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.

Firstly this is truly a gem of a place, it is literally like being on the set of Castaway!! quiet and extremely relaxed, we cannot express enough just how friendly & helpful the staff are, I could give examples but you wouldn't believe me, but trust me it's astonishing!!

Firstly this is truly a gem of a place, it is literally like being on the set of Castaway!! quiet and extremely relaxed, we cannot express enough just how friendly & helpful the staff are, I could give examples but you wouldn't believe me, but trust me it's astonishing!! Special mentions have to go to Sanju & Jovan at the bar, they were wonderful, also Jasraj & Shavinka who waited on us and always had smiles on their faces. Seeru & Alice the concierge who knew absolutely everything about the island, where to go & how to get there and finally Nazinah who looked after our room with the most amazing towel decorations!!! Secondly , we would recommend hiring a car (a car is £40 per day bookable at the hotel) We would definitely recommend booking your days out and any excursions direct with the hotel rather than with any of the reps.... trust me, it's worth it!!! If you get a chance, try and visit La Vanille nature park where you can feed giant tortoises, it is amazing!! If you go to central flaq market go to the mytel shop you can buy an esim for £12 that gives 200gb & plenty of local calls for 30 days, then you can use Google maps which is a lifesaver!!..Finally we have to say we loved Fifi the dog, she will definitely come and say hello at some point, she's got the best life ever!!!....and of course a big thank you to Mr Deserie for a lovely holiday.

Recently stayed at Tropical Attitude - staying all inclusive and it was such a lovely experience. The spa was great for relaxing, the staff were amazing especially the restaurant staff who made our daughters 21st birthday a great experience. The rooms were comfortable and kept clean by the housekeepers who did a lovely touch of towel artistry 😀 food was good and the boat trip from the hotel was great. There is no beach at the hotel but it is only a short 2 minute walk to a lovely beach. Would we visit again the answer would be yes. Read less

The staff could not do enough for you. Everyone was welcoming and friendly in particular Jevon at breakfast and Jasraj at lunchtime.

The only downside was the location there was very little beach but did offer a free shuttle boat to the l’isle du Cerf each day. Food was good quality and a very good variety, however we did pay for the seafood barbecue and were extremely disappointed other than the prawns everything else was not great so I would suggest you avoid this as it was 3k rupees per person wasted.
