The hotel

Those torn between ‘contemporary chic’ and ‘utterly authentic’ needn’t choose – after a radical revamp, Tropical Attitude promises both. All bold geometric design and luxe natural touches, this adults-only retreat gives grownups that boutique hotel feel and a genuine Mauritian experience. It starts with its location – facing a turquoise lagoon, just a free shuttle ride from the beautiful beaches at Ile aux Cerfs, it’s near the traditional fishing village of Trou d’Eau Douce. And it continues with its attitude – with real Mauritius found everywhere from its spa treatments to its experiences, including cookery lessons, a weekly ‘Made in Mauritius’ market, and home-cooked dinners at local families’ homes. Dining at Tropical Attitude is equally authentic, whether you’re at its intimate Kot Nou restaurant (which seats just 20 guests), tucking into Mauritian street food from TABA-j, or taking one of its picnic baskets over to Ile aux Cerfs. Book into one of the newer villas to enjoy a private pool all to yourselves, perfect for a special occasion.

We’ve just returned from our wonderful honeymoon at tropical attitude. The staff were absolutely incredible from Karen on guest relations, Kamini our housekeeper who made beautiful towel art everyday for us, everyone in hospitality but massive shout out to Sunil and Vikash who always greeted us with the biggest smile and chats, and the lovely lady who works in the shop and did my henna for me. The room was nice, we were in a villa room which was well worth the money felt very luxurious, the food was also nice however I did struggle. I am a very picky eater, however this was noticed by the staff and I could speak to the chefs to see if they could do me something! My husband said it was all lovely though. We tried the Kat Nou restaurant one night again amazing service. Taba-J was lovely the chef who worked on there I never caught her name was always willing to accommodate and was a nice break up from the other meals. We went to the spa one day for a couples massage and felt so relaxed, the girls in there were also so welcoming. We did a boat trip just once to Il Aux Cerfs and wish we’d had the time to go more to be honest as it was amazing and so nice that the hotel offer the boat ride for free. We couldn’t make the most out of the glass bottom boat and snorkelling but the weather was turning when we were here. We did some amazing trips ones you must do, the tour of south Mauritius was simply breathtaking. The tour or north felt slightly rushed through our agent, we used get your guide for the others though! Our favourite one was the whale and dolphin watching. You must must must do this if you’re here. Read less
