We had a wonderful stay at Tamassa Resort, and what made it truly special was the warmth of the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. On arrival we had a few minor issues, nothing major but anything we reported was taken seriously and dealt with quickly. That care and willingness to put things right meant a great deal. The resort sits right on a stunning beach, surrounded by sprawling, beautifully maintained gardens. Although It isn’t within easy walking distance of villages which means exploring outside means a taxi ride, there is plenty to enjoy without leaving the grounds. We particularly enjoyed the glass-bottom boat trip included in our package, and pedalos are also available. A particular highlight was the sunset beach party where food and drink was served whilst Sid and his enthusiastic team got the atmosphere going with music, dancing and a lot of laughs. The entire management team were busily working to give us the best experience whilst loosening up with a few dance moves themselves. Dancing on a beautiful white beach as the sun goes down is a memory we will both treasure. Our superior room, 2083, was on the first floor of a two-storey building, conveniently positioned for the beach, pool and main facilities. It had a large queen-size bed, bedside tables, a fridge stocked with beer and soft drinks, and a kettle and cafetière with coffee, creamer, sugar and a selection of teas. These supplies and the bottled drinking water were replenished daily. As we don’t drink alcohol, we asked for extra water, which was provided immediately. There was a lovely deep bath, a very good separate shower, a separate toilet and two washbasin areas beside the dressing and wardrobe space. A safe, hairdryer, bathrobes and slippers were provided, along with liquid soap/shampoo and moisturiser. A little tip for fellow bath lovers: bring your own bubble bath! The television reception wasn’t particularly good during our stay, but the Wi-Fi was excellent throughout the resort, so we happily used our tablets instead. There were plenty of food options. The main buffet restaurant offered a reasonable selection at breakfast, and lunch with each dinner a different theme. We found the lunchtime buffet a little limited, but the wonderful burger van by the bar more than made up for it. From noon until 3pm, it served beef, chicken, fish and veggie burgers with fries and salad. We certainly never went hungry! The beach bar and restaurant became a favourite spot for pre-dinner drinks and watching the sunset, with fabulous food and a lovely setting. Our all-inclusive package also included one meal there at no extra charge. The beach had plenty of sunbeds, and beach towels were available both in our room and from the towel cabin near the water sports area. There were also three lovely pools with plenty of loungers, so we never felt crowded. Other facilities included garden games, a kids’ club, two gift and essentials shops, and a spa offering a sauna, steam room, massages and other treatments. Our departure day deserves a mention too. Although we checked out at 11am and weren’t leaving until 6pm, we could continue enjoying the facilities. We spent time on the beach, had lunch and coffees, then used the showers and changing facilities at Salon 17 before putting on our travelling clothes. It made our last day feel like part of the holiday. Finally, our sincere thanks to Adarsh and the wonderful Preshna. Their friendly welcome, help with the smallest requests and hard work made us feel so well looked after. Preshna even waited with us for our airport car and waved us off—a lovely, personal farewell. Tamassa is a gem that beckons you back. We left feeling almost as though we had become part of a warm, loving Mauritian family. See you next year! Carole Cooper and Allen Miller Read less

I had a stay earlier this year there and a day pass recently. I was mesmerised by the service offered by the staff especially Ms Yesha. She delivered an outstanding level of service throughout our day pass, always with a smile. The animation (Aqua gym was also awesome) Thanks to the whole staff who did not show any difference between us (Mauritians) and foreigners, something which is falling apart nowadays in big resorts. Special thanks to the barmaid Sanjana as well for her good service. Keep it up guys. Read less
