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.

The hotel staff a great, the food above average (Although the premium price for the seafood barbecue was stupidly expensive) and the views are awesome. We had an extended stay due to the closure of the Middle East air space during our stay and the hotel receptionist (Benedict) was very helpful and kind. Rooms were clean and Nazimah left us with amazing towel art each day. The pool (which is necessary) was a big let down it was cloudy and we felt that we could not use it. The other thing is the room we had was the superior but the extra space inside was to the detriment of the outside space which was almost non existent not sure if there are superior rooms on the upper floors but I missed having a balcony or proper terrace. Again I would say that all the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Hotel didn’t feel like a 3 star hotel. Food and staff were exceptional, made the Holliday and they couldn’t do enough for you. Everything we asked, they supplied and were really friendly.
Only downside to the hotel is no beach and pool does get dirty quickly, cleaned only once a day, which did spoilt it a little.
Room cleaning lady made towel animals every day, became a part of our holiday wondering what we would get, very clever and lady cleaned the room every day and did a fab job.
We booked the catamaran trip, whilst it was good, not sure it was worth the money. We hired a car for the day and went to Blue Bay, Port Lewis shopping centre and Flic En Flac beach for the sunset. Driving in Mauritius is interesting, but a good day and make sure you get to Blue Bay early.
Would I stay here again, no, the beach was a loss that means I would not want to stay here again, when other hotels were available with beaches, it I would come back to Mauritius.
