I recently stayed at Tamassa for two nights to celebrate my birthday, and it was truly one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. From the moment we arrived until we checked out, the hospitality was exceptional. Every member of the team—from the Guest Relations Officer to the waiters and housekeeping staff—was incredibly attentive, warm, and genuinely focused on every little detail to make our stay memorable. We did initially have a complaint about the first room we were assigned, but it was handled very quickly and efficiently by the team. Our concern was taken seriously, and as a result, we were given a lovely room upgrade, which we truly appreciated. One thing that really stood out to me was how every guest was treated with the same level of care and respect. In some hotels, you can sometimes notice a difference in how Mauritians and foreign tourists are treated. At Tamassa, however, everyone is welcomed equally, and that made us feel truly valued. The team went above and beyond to make my birthday extra special. My table was beautifully decorated for my birthday dinner, our room was filled with thoughtful birthday touches, a bottle of champagne was offered, and they even prepared a flower-filled bathtub for me. Every surprise was carefully planned and made the celebration unforgettable. Thank you to the entire Tamassa team for creating such wonderful memories. Your attention to detail, kindness, and outstanding service made my birthday truly special. I would highly recommend Tamassa to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with exceptional hospitality, and I can't wait to visit again! Special thanks to Yuvna, Preshna (from Guest Experience Team) and the two chefs who personally came to give is macarons and had a lovely talk with us Read less

A beautiful and comfortable resort with all the amenities you could ask for The resort is so large that you can just wander out aimlessly or sit near the beach. We had frequent walks with our 6 month baby. The resort is very stroller friendly. The rooms are comfortable and easily accessible. Coming to the staff - We went with a baby and on the initial night we faced a mosquito problem. Probably common in that area. The staff promptly sprayed mosquito repellent for us. We also asked if we can get a better room since we have a baby and mosquitos can be an issue. The hotel customer relationship manager Yuvna promptly helped us in everything and actually got us a room upgrade. She checked multiple times if all is well on whatsapp and in person. I love the effort they out in customer happiness There are lot of free activities like sauna, steem, boating, games etc. Some things that were not that great - The food has variety but the taste was nothing memorable - The reception sometimes did not pick up calls.

Great hotel - we had a fantastic family holiday with lots of fun activities together but every member of our family enjoyed a very joyful individual time as well, was it snorkelling, kajak, glass bottom boat, yoga, relaxing time in the beautiful garden, on the beach or in the pools,... We enjoyed the delicious food in both restaurants and all the staff was so kind, friendly and helpful. Our six-year old daughter's favourite was the Tam Tam Kid's Club with so many nice activities offered and wonderful caregivers: it was her highlight. She felt very happy, safe and treasured by her caregivers, especially Hrasha, although our daughters English isn't so well. To know that our beloved daughter was well cared for gave us parents a relaxed holiday as well. Thank you Hrasha and all Tamassa Resort Team for a holiday in paradise! :-) Read less
