Tamassa, Bel Ombre

Welcome to our family review! We spent 11 wonderful days at the Tamassa Resort during August 2026…… Firstly, the resorts location is excellent. It’s nicely positioned on the south coast of the island, the Tamassa Resort is beautifully nestled in the Bel Ombré region hidden amongst stunning scenery. The overarching atmosphere was superb, it was very relaxed and inviting and perfect for families, couples, and larger groups alike. As for the all-important accommodation, we had a “family suite” which had a large double bed, a large modern bathroom with Amazon shower, and a large corner bath. Also, the bed mattresses were superb and were very comfortable! The room also had a second bedroom with a comfortable bunk-bed and there was a second toilet which was very handy for our family. We had a good size balcony with a perfect pool view and the beach was in sight as well. The room service was sharp, with daily room visits, never-ending fresh towels, a FREE stocked mini-bar inclusive alcohol (filled daily), and the standard of cleaning and pest control (mini-ants and mosquitos) was very good indeed. Overall, the room was great and ample for our busy family needs. The Tamassa Resort is quite clever in that EVERY room on the complex has a form of pool and beach view which we found really cool. The main restaurant is very good with a great breakfast service, excellent lunch, and really nice evening dinner buffets. Mondays was a “Mauritian theme night” and Tuesdays were an “Italian theme night”. The staff were awesome and really friendly and helpful without fail and went out of their way to look after us greeting us everywhere we went on the resort! Please be aware, if anyone has a birthday whilst in the resort, the staff will soon know and proceed to serenade you over dinner with a cake with a firework type candle in it plus, local music, and singing! You have been warned! 🥳 The beach restaurant is excellent and needs a simple booking 24 hours in advance. If you are “All-Inclusive” you can dine at the beach restaurant every night if you so wish! The location of the restaurant is knock-out and the service and food is simply “next level dining” and certainly a MUST try event (we went 6 times over the 11 days we were there trying both the lunch and excellent dinner menus 🫢). Also, I must mention the burger van which is a family favourite as well! You need to try this as the food is delicious! The 3 pools are massive and well maintained and there were ample beach loungers available wherever we wandered at any time of the day which was SO refreshing! The evening entertainment was good with live singing, varying music, and dancing covering traditional customs and the more modern “DJ” sessions which was pretty good as well. In addition, evening entertainment did not affect our room time at all. The facilities are numerous with the nice pools, direct beach access, 2 restaurants, tennis courts, table tennis, billiards, a good little gym, a shop, and a brilliant “Wellness Club” (extra costs involved). The resorts grounds were manicured and superbly maintained at all times. Everything was clean, tidy, professional and presentable. Our “TOP 3 likes” for the Tamassa Resort are: 1. The brilliant staff and the great service. 2. The nice pools and beautiful beach inclusive FREE resort water-sports(!) 3. The food, drink and animation / entertainment. Our “3 Improvement points” are: 1. Please include the Jacuzzi in the “Wellness Package” and not charge extra for use! 2. “All-Inclusive” persons should have a wrist-band enabling swifter access to food, bar drinks, and amenities (Ice Cream!). 3: A beach bar is definitely needed as it is a long walk to get drinks when you are on the resorts beach and fancy a cocktail! In essence, overall, we are highly complimentary and our critique is minimal! Our sincere thanks go to Darshina and her team for really making us feel welcome and special for the duration of our stay! 🫶❤️🫶❤️🫶 So, was this value for money? Yes - 100%. Would we visit the Tamassa Resort again? Yes - 100%. Finally, do we recommend it? Yes - 100%. ☀️🥳☀️🥳☀️ Having discussed all the above as a family, we rate it a strong 7.5 from 10. Well done the Tamassa Resort. See you in the near future. 👏👏👏👏👏 Read less

You have to tip your way to decent service. My bags took 1.5 hours to get to my room in check in. No answer on desk. Had to walk back to reception found my bags in lobby. And that was the entire experience. Below average food, worn down room. They decided to paint the stairs in our 2nd floor room at check out time (see photo) . Make sure to book your “free” sea experiences as soon as you check in as most of them are booked for a couple of days. We were there in “off season”. Read less
