Hotel RIU a Mauritius

Era bello stare lì, ma c'era un hiccup in un punto, abbiamo prenotato il posto per avere accesso alla sauna e al jacuzzi e è stato chiuso durante il nostro soggiorno senza notifica, quindi invece abbiamo deciso di avere un bagno caldo ma l'acqua dal bagno era Giallo... che diceva... ci hanno cambiato le stanze, ci hanno anche dato una bottiglia di champagne e una sessione di massaggio gratuita di 50 minuti... comunque, era un bel posto, il cibo era fantastico e bellissimo ambiente!

The hotel was only opened in summer 2024 and we really enjoyed our stay. We booked ocean facing and the room was very generously spaced and nicely furnished. On arrival, we were greeted by the friendly staff and given a map of the hotel, its amenities and explained how the access to the sister hotel RIU Turquoise works. The main restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet-style. Even though the variety is big, we felt that the dishes were repeated so after a while, there was not really anything new. However, the quality was good. We also spent one evening at the Krystal restaurant and enjoyed a 4-course meal which was really superb. Since it was our wedding anniversary that day, I had asked if it was possible that the table will be decorated with some flowers and candles and the team really did a great job - thank you so much for making the evening special! The restaurants other than the main restaurant have to be booked via the RIU app - which worked with the Krystal but unfortunately not with another restaurant we wanted to try. You may only book 2 days in advance. The pool area is spacious (even though some guests cannot resist and book their sunbeds early morning :-((. The beachfront is huge - on the beach though, the sunbeds were sometimes quite dirty. You also have to consider that the wind makes your stay on the beach sometimes rather unpleasant. However, if you walk approx. 250 m past the hotel, there is a public beach and there you will not be bothered by the wind at all. The staff in general is very friendly and helpful. There is also some entertainment in the evenings at the bar. Although we really enjoyed our stay and cannot fault the hotel, we would not come back, purely because the wind put us off and we feel more comfortable on the West coast around Flic en Flac.
