We enjoyed our 4 nights at Tropical Attitude, could have stayed longer. It's very relaxing,chilled and quiet, with a beautiful sea view from most (or all) of the rooms. The resort is pretty and well maintained. There are sun loungers in front of all the rooms, although they are mostly in the shade (not always a bad thing in Mauritius!) We didn't get the room we booked, so there was some confusion on arrival but the room we got was nice and they gave us a couple's massage to make up for the inconvenience. The masseuse was very good and soothing. It was a relaxing experience, listening to the birds singing in the trees and the low, background music The management was always accommodating and friendly. The room has all mod cons and the bed is large and comfy. Air--conditioning worked well. The shower was modern and there was usually hot water. Maybe avoid that 5:30 - 6:30 time when everyone is in. Our cleaner, Geeta, did an excellent job. We appreciated the green initiatives - like no plastic bottles and even a reef safe sun cream free to use. The pool area is small but so is the resort, so there never seemed to be a fight for the sunloungers. The food was excellent and varied. It was also warm, which is unusual for a buffet. There was always local Mauritian dishes to try. The food truck had some nice snacks in the day time. There is a well regarded ala carte restaurant but my husband isn't too keen on curries, so we didn't try it. The restaurant staff were particularly friendly and helpful, especially Ram, Sunil, Vishant, Ashit and Mia. The young lady in the shop was also helpful and smiling. The bar was well placed next to the pool and the cocktails were very tasty. We tried quite a few! There was a darker beer that my husband enjoyed. It was very relaxing to sit around the pool at night with a cocktail, listening to the low key bands and singers that play most evenings. The weather was perfect when we were there, not too hot. That part of Mauritius is known for being very windy but it wasn't when we were there. There's not really places to swim in front of the resort (which we knew beforehand). Walk a short way to the left and there is a bit of a beach. Bring beach shoes, like on most of the country's beaches. Definitely take their free shuttle boat transfer to Ile aux Cerfs. It's beautiful and very quiet if you walk just a little bit further to the left, past the cafe (great ice cream!) and the crowds. The swimming is fabulous and you feel like you're on a desert island. There was also a short boat trip to snorkel but there's not much reef left in Mauritius. Still, it's a pleasant and free trip. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay. A few more details upon arrival would have helped, like the fact that we could get free drinks for our mini fridge and snacks from the shop. But that was a small problem.
