Staying at Tamassa Resort Mauritius was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable, especially when it came to food and dietary needs. The culinary team didn’t just accommodate us — they genuinely cared. They checked in regularly, prepared customised dishes, and made sure every meal was both safe and delicious. That level of attention is rare, and it made us feel truly looked after. We had special dietary requirements including vegan, gluten free diet for the group. The resort itself is a paradise for families. The kids club kept our little ones entertained for hours with fun, engaging activities with wonderful staff including Anastasia. One of the biggest hits was the burger and chips truck — a simple idea executed brilliantly. The kids loved it, and honestly, so did we. Between the beautiful grounds, the warm hospitality, and the thoughtful touches everywhere, Tamassa delivered an experience that exceeded our expectations. It’s the kind of place where you feel welcomed, understood, and genuinely cared for — and that’s what makes a holiday truly special. A special thankyou to all the chefs Dinesh, Suraj, Kunal, Edinho, Geraldo, Nawsheen, Preetyma, Nitisha alongside other staff at the resort Trisha, Shruti, Davrisha, Pavishma, Sabrina, Sephora, Altaaf who made our stay memorable Thankyou to all the hospitality Shah Family Read less
