The Ravenala Attitude

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

All-suite and all-inclusive, the Ravenala Attitude is styled in contemporary, colonial and tropical hues. With an open-plan, no boundaries design, the restaurants and bars flow seamlessly towards the pool, gardens and beach beyond. But it’s not all about appearances — it goes deeper. Its ‘Culinary Voyage’ takes you from Asia to Italy in nine restaurants, seven of which you can sample as part of your All-Inclusive package. You can tuck into 'Granmamas' Mauritian fare at Kot Nou, street-food takeaways on the beach at Taba-J, and enjoy the romance of the floating Riviera restaurant. The kids' clubs provide various fun activities, whilst the Sport Village and Boat House offer endless diversions, from kayaking along Rivière Citron to riverbank yoga. And the hotel's ‘Otentik’ concept gives you a true insight into Mauritius, in cookery classes, local music, a self-guided tours app, and a weekly ‘Otentik Bazar’, with all profits from the ‘made in Mauritius’ goodies going to the craftspeople. You can even dine on ‘Otentik Dinners’ with locals in their homes. This charming resort is great for families, with large rooms and a range of activities, whilst couples will love staying in the Executive Seafront Adult Suites in the adults-only section.

During our recent stay at this resort, we generally had a pleasant experience; however, there were a couple of interactions that we found concerning. On one occasion, a staff member, Mr. Seam, approached us and encouraged us to leave positive comments about the resort, mentioning that bottles could be sent to our room in return. While this may have been intended as a kind gesture, it came across as inappropriate and not fully aligned with the level of professionalism we would expect. Additionally, we noticed that the same staff member was promoting his son’s TikTok account during interactions with guests. This felt unrelated to his role and slightly detracted from the overall guest experience. We share this feedback constructively, as we believe the resort has strong potential, and maintaining consistently professional guest interactions will help preserve its reputation. Read less

Our stay was truly memorable, and a big part of that was thanks to the exceptional team who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. A special thank you to Kooshal, the F&B Manager, who was incredibly attentive and accommodating. I have specific dietary preferences and cannot have cold drinks, and he ensured that room temperature beverages were always available for me — a small detail that made a huge difference to my comfort. We were also very grateful to Sous Chef Yash, who kindly prepared meals on request with great care and flexibility. His willingness to accommodate our needs did not go unnoticed. Nischal and Pawan from the restaurant staff were consistently professional, attentive, and warm throughout our stay. They anticipated our needs and made every dining experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, the service was personalized, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. It’s clear that the team takes pride in what they do, and it truly enhanced our entire experience. We would definitely return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for outstanding hospitality. Read less

We had such an amazing stay at The Ravenala Attitude , honestly, this is a dream hotel for families with young children. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm and genuine. The reception team was lovely, especially Roma and another gentleman whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch. Minisha (the intern, if I’m not mistaken) was incredibly sweet and caring with our son. But what truly makes this place exceptional is the kids club team. They are beyond amazing , full of energy, kindness, and genuine love for children. You can feel how much they care, and it makes such a difference. Our son absolutely loved it, and as a parent, that peace of mind is priceless. Everything in this hotel is designed with families in mind. There’s a dedicated kids’ food corner, which makes mealtimes so easy, and even baby changing stations around the hotel so you don’t have to run back to your room. It’s these little details that make a big difference. The food variety was great, the boathouse team was fantastic, and our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. This is the kind of place where your kids are happy, relaxed, and entertained… and that means you get to truly enjoy your holiday too. Happy kids = happy parents. Honestly, this is not just a hotel you visit once , it’s a place you’ll keep wanting to come back to. Mr & Mrs Marion Room 4000 Read less

We had eight days at Ravenala with our boys age 12 and 10 and we had the most fabulous stay. In our opinion it is exceptionally well run with every detail considered and always someone on hand to assist and go the extra mile. It is quite a big place but never felt crowded, with plenty of places to be, a laid back vibe and huge beautiful pools. We found the green grounds stunning, the facilities immaculate and loved the local-vibe boutique like design of the place and restaurants. The food in all the restaurants was excellent we thought and the buffet was fantastic for every meal. There is so much to do in terms of activities, food options, entertainment and local sights (done ourselves by taxi from hotel) so wouldn't have wanted less than eight days. Every single member of staff deserves a shout out for being brilliant we think, but we have a special shout out for the boat house! When we were there the sea at the beach was cloudy and we had to travel up the coast to see turquoise waters and get better snorkeling, but we were ok with that as we just loved the river for canoeing and the boys loved the pools best. The restaurant booking system was very effective. The family room we stayed in was quite dated but we didn't mind it being a bit old, it was clean, functional, nice touches in design, comfortable. Beach bar we thought was absolutely awesome. Great beer cocktails DJ and drumming! Breakfast was brilliant, amazing baking, fruits and guitar music! We thought the all inclusive option was excellent value for money. We would love to go back, thanks to everyone at Ravenala! Read less
