The Oberoi, Mauritius

We had a wonderful experience at the Oberoi Hotel. The villa was clean and very accomodating. The staff, Vasuda, Yash and all were extremely pleasant and helpfull. Special thanks to Mr. Pritam Pooloovadoo and team for the high quality service and hospitality.

Amazing hotel! The service was excellent! We stayed 3 nights at The Oberoi Resort and would definitely like to come back. One of the best hotels we have ever been to. The food is a 10/10 and the cocktails are so delicious. The sunsets on the beach were so beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Spent 4 nights here recently. Loved every aspect of it. Food was excellent- from breakfast and dinner in the Restaurant, to the Rocks and the smoke pit dinner in the herb garden. Fish, seafood, meat, Indian. All great and often very inventive. We had a beautiful pool villa. Beach beds and pool areas very comfortable and lovely settings. But what really makes the Oberoi stand out is the very personal, warm service, experienced with all staff all the way up to the General Manager. Really recommend and I hope we will be back for longer soon!

At this price point and brand, expectations of standards should be high and our first time stay was overall a great experience. ‘Foodies’ will in general be very satisfied; the restaurant ( menus on their website) has great choices , some memorable dishes- a crab salad with creamed avacado, lemon jelly and crab vinaigrette was delicious, lobster bisque and slow cooked meat in the fire pit @ The Herb Trail not to be missed. We also enjoyed the creole menu at The Gunpowder room ( both there and Herb Trail have supplements when on HB which we were aware of) although the food @ Gunpowder was not as piping hot as we would have liked and warmed plates would be appreciated but very tasty food nonetheless. You must try the crispy pancake Dosa at breakfast, with delicious accompanying vegetable curry and coconut /chilli chutneys and good selection of sweet fresh fruits amongst other choices. Although food is covered, maybe to deter the birds, some more strategically placed automatic fly fans would help? The main restaurant used for both breakfast and dinner was very atmospheric at night and with this smaller hotel, a peaceful ambience which we loved. Whether you stay at their very comfortable, spacious entry level room or if you enjoy swimming in private, I would highly recommend the lovely Presidential Suite. A/C is quiet and effective, bed super comfortable, plenty of towels and very clean, thank you to the room staff for the cute towel dog- I love dogs! Personal choice but do look out for the dog charities on the island and if you can, support them in their very worthwhile cause. Plenty of activities ( see their website for details) but we were very lazy and just enjoyed the warm sun and spotting the beautifully colored island birds. The resort gardens are beautifully maintained. For those worried about mosquitos, my husband is a magnet normally but the only bites he suffered was unfortunately sharing a taxi with one of the annoying critters, The Oberoi did an excellent job of 'fogging' and with in room repellants and sprays if needed, we weren't bothered which was a big plus in our book. Comparing the beach to Belle Mare where we travelled onto, the beach here doesn't have the white expanse of sand but again, do your research and no surprises. We did have one issue which was graciously sorted by the very charming Manager Mr Pandey and his very able exec asst Natasha, thank you for your kind consideration, it was very much appreciated. Also Amanda, nice speaking with you, sorry we probably made it a long evening for you chatting away! Thank you to the wait staff at breakfast ,dinner, the bar staff, all smart, professional and very good representatives for the brand together with the room staff who did a great job. We stay often at The Datai in Malaysia and it's our benchmark for a beach holiday, The Oberoi, yes, reminds us of The Datai in some ways, would be hard to ignore if we return to this area.

Arrived here at 5 am after an 8 hr delayed flight. Met with a very warm welcome and taken directly to our beautiful room overlooking the ocean. A wonderful breakfast laid out. After dawn the views were magnificent and the rest of the week we had a little bit of heaven. Quiet peaceful with delightful staff. Shout out to Aisha in the spa, great facial.
