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.

Visited Tropical Attitude for 10 nights.It was the 2nd time we visited the Attitude hotel group(Lagoon Attitude) before and again the holiday and hotel were 1st class.From start to finish the staff were helpful,always greeting you with a smile and always there to help with any problems.the free boat trip to the ile leu cerf island is worth doing and also free boat trips from the hotel for glass bottom boat and snorkling were excellent.The food in the restaurant was outstanding(special mention to Seegangee and Ram)Lots of variety on a daily basis especially the fresh fish. Taba J is worth a visit for lunch and a visit to Cot Nou is worth a visit in the evening to try the Mauritius food.
To end l would recommend a visit to this hotel or any other Attitude hotel.Top class

A wonderful two weeks, made special by amazing staff
We’ve just returned from a wonderful two weeks in Mauritius, staying at Tropical Attitude, and had such a lovely holiday.
We stayed in a standard double room. It was simple but had everything we needed, with a comfortable bed and a room that was kept clean and tidy throughout our stay.
We ate in the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner and had no complaints. Breakfast offered a good selection of breads, fruit, eggs and the usual options. Lunch was à la carte, with pizzas, burgers, salads, sandwiches and pasta, all freshly cooked and prepared to your liking. The evening buffet included dishes such as rice, chicken and fish. Food is always down to personal taste, but we enjoyed it and never struggled to find something to eat.
The biggest highlight, alongside the all-inclusive drinks, was the staff. Every single person we came across was friendly, polite and happy to help. They remembered our faces, always made us feel welcome and took the time to answer any questions. They are an absolute credit to the hotel and really made our stay special.
The hotel also offers complimentary boat transfers to Île aux Cerfs twice a day. It’s a lovely place to relax in the sunshine with a picnic basket, or try the water activities available there. The complimentary snorkelling and glass-bottom boat trips were another great bonus.
The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed. Even though the hotel was fully occupied, you would never have known it—it never felt crowded.
Thank you, Tropical Attitude, for a wonderful holiday, and a massive thank you to all your staff for making it such a happy and memorable two weeks!
