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.

I spent a day at Tropical Attitude with their day package, and it was such a beautiful and relaxing experience. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt peaceful and welcoming.
A special mention to the staff who made the day truly memorable:
Arvin, Seevangee, Selven, and Christophe — all of them were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality really stood out and added so much value to the experience.
The food was delicious with good variety, and the pool and beach area were clean and perfect for relaxing. It genuinely felt like a mini-vacation, even if it was just for a day.
I highly recommend the day package at Tropical Attitude for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy excellent Mauritian hospitality. 🌞💛

The hotel was nice and cosy, very welcoming. They want to be sustainable, which is very nice. Karen was very sweet and welcoming, she helped us with everything. Because we were on our honeymoon, we received as a gift 30min massage (Nadia was lovely), a nice diner and a bag from Mauritius. The room was nice, tidy and The view from the room is sooo nice, it’a a pleasure to have your coffee with that view of the ocean. Near the hotel, a 5-10 min walk, is a very nice beach. In front of the hotel it’s a little bit more difficult to have a bath, but we had our water shoes and it was ok. Food was great and fresh. The only minor minus is that after 14:30 you can’t have a lunch in the resort, only shacks.
Also, they have the Otentik Experiences and we book a diner at a local. Concita was so much fun, it’s was a lovely experience and she prepared a very good dinner. We highly recommend!!

We spent two weeks at the Tropical Attitude hotel, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The atmosphere is relaxed and authentic, the surroundings are beautiful, and the staff really do their utmost to make guests feel at home.
Special thanks go to Nazimah, who was responsible for cleaning our room. She always kept the room tidy and her towel art delighted us every day.
We stayed in a Couple Seafront Room, which was the perfect choice for us. The balcony offered a magnificent sea view – exactly the kind of view that people come to Mauritius for. It was wonderful to listen to the waves lapping against the shore from the balcony.
The sun loungers on the beach offered unobstructed views of the sea, and we could have spent the whole day there. The hotel's rooftop terrace also offered breathtaking views, where it was nice to drink pina coladas in the afternoon.
The buffet also deserves a big thank you. Even though we stayed at the hotel for two weeks, we never got bored. There were different dishes on offer every day, and it was clear that a lot of effort had been put into ensuring there was enough variety. The food was well seasoned but not spicy. If you wanted more kick, you could add chili sauce.
We would also like to give special praise to the bar staff. They were always cheerful, polite, and made really good drinks. Small talk and good service made the time spent by the pool and in the evening even more enjoyable.
Spa Poz: We went there a couple of times and had a wonderful experience. In addition to the peaceful music playing in the background, the experience was crowned by the authentic sounds of nature, the sound of palms swaying in the wind and the singing of birds, which transported us to nirvana.
In summary: a beautiful hotel, good food, and above all, absolutely fantastic staff. Tropical Attitude exceeded our expectations, and we would love to come back here again.
