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.

Tropical Attitude, is a little gem! It ticks all the right boxes for a chilled and relaxing holiday. Food selections and service was great. Not a huge selection at the buffet in the evening which we liked but all what was offered was tasty. Lunchtime a la carte menu was good and the option of the Tabaj was a bonus. All the Team in the restaurant were friendly, efficient and eager to please. Bar service was brilliant. Thank you Vishram and Sanju for the daily cocktails & great coffee! Never had to long for a drink, often they spotted us and our usual drinks were ready by the time we got to the bar. Great! Our room was looked after by Patricia. It was always spotless and the towel art was amazing. Always brought a smile to our faces after a busy day on a sunbed. Muhammed and Anoush were also amazing. The whole Tropical team are a credit to the hotel. Please do not be put off by the 3*, because it definitely is not 3*. We will definitely be back very soon. Read less

The buffet was a consistent disappointment throughout our stay and, unfortunately, never improved. The selection felt limited and highly repetitive, with the same dishes appearing day after day, offering very little incentive to return. There was a noticeable lack of creativity in the menu, and the overall presentation did not make the food particularly appealing. More concerning was the quality itself—many of the dishes were bland, lacking seasoning and depth of flavor, while others did not seem as fresh as expected. Even at peak dining times, some items appeared to have been sitting out for too long, affecting both taste and texture. Simple elements that are usually reliable, such as salads and hot dishes, failed to meet even basic expectations. Overall, the buffet experience felt uninspired and underwhelming, turning what should have been an enjoyable part of our stay into something we gradually began to avoid altogether. Read less

Our Deluxe Seafront Room was excellent and kept spotless by the kind cleaning staff. We ended our trip with a couple’s massage at the spa, which was absolutely fabulous. Delicious food, great vibes, and a truly kind team. We can't wait to go back! Read less

Myself and my wife spent 10 glorious nights at the Tropical Attitude in February and i can not say enough good things about it. We can't work out why it is only a 3star hotel when it is a five star all day long. From the moment you check in till the moment you check out they can not do enough for you. The staff every single one of them from reception to waiting men and women,to the chefs to the groundstaff, bulkshop to bar staff and not foegetting custermer services look after you and all with a smile on their faces. We upgraded to the villa and again our cleaner was excellent as are all of them. We have travelled quite a lot in our time but we never stay in the same hotel twice till now that was our second visit to Tropical and hopefully the third is not far off, we have found our go to holiday and hotel. Hotel - excellent Staff - fantastic Food - brilliant Holiday - just what the doctor ordered. Thankyou Tropical see you soon Damien and Louise O'Brien Read less
