Bellevue Tamarin

When you think of the word Penthouse you think luxury. This penthouse was certainly not that. Our main concern was the safety of the electrics which blew repeatedly every night, luckily the owner showed us where the fuse box was so we could reset it every time we were plunged into darkness. We worked out in the end that we could only use one appliance at a time. The overhead fan in the main room was broken and we could not even use the very noisy free standing fan they provided as a replacement when using the cooker or any other appliance as the electrics blew. The bedding was cheap and crumpled; the bedroom was advertised on ********** as having blackout and an overhead fan, it had neither. I note they have updated that information on ********** website now. Generally the penthouse is run down and done on the cheap and to top it all there is a very noisy construction site next door to compete with the noise of constant traffic on the road below and barking dogs. We booked this penthouse apartment for 11 nights but only endured 4. We have received a partial refund but not full for the nights we did not stay. Most annoying and upsetting is the owners claim we had not informed them of the repeated electrical problems and that we were leaving, despite the fact that one of them stood in the kitchen/ living space face to face with me the night before we left and witnessed my stress and upset with constantly blowing electrics and I told her we would be leaving the next day. With this in mind we are not interested in any comments the owners have to make and won’t be reading them, as they are clearly happy to be dishonest. If you like a homestay feel and lot’s of interaction with the owners this is the place for you - the owners clearly enjoy talking to and organising their guests. I know they will be disappointed with this review but I can only be honest to help other fellow traveler's make an informed choice. We had traveled 24hrs after a busy few months looking forward to a relaxing break and were bitterly disappointed and it ruined our holiday. We just wanted privacy and safe accommodation. My comments are only regarding the Penthouse, I cannot comment on the standard of the other rooms on offer.

Very nive place to stay and a great and lovely family! If you don't want the luxuary hotels and want a nice place to stay this is a fantastic place. From there you can explore the hole island. If we go back it will be at Bellevue!!!

We enjoyed our first oversea holiday with our baby in Mauritius. Our stay at Bellevue Tamarin Guesthouse was an unforgettable and beautiful experience. We booked the penthouse apartment with a breath taking view of the ocean and sunsets. The rooms are lovingly decorated and made us feel at home straight away. Pascale and Fabrice, the hosts, go out of their way to enable you a wonderful and relaxed holiday. They organized us an airport pick up, a rental car with baby seat, a baby bed and high chair and a hiking backpack to carry our baby. They provided us with great recommendations for day trips, local „must-see‘s“ and „must-tastes“, good restaurants and beautiful beaches. During our stay, they scheduled a Catamaran sunset sail for us and a date night with an apero at a bar at the beach and a dinner at a great restaurant. During our holiday, Pascale and Fabrice had organized some great events for all of the guests. We were stunned by the beautiful Sega dancers and musicians that were organized for a couples wedding anniversary. It was our first night on the island, so clearly a fantastic start of our holiday! On another night we enjoyed a delicious Indian dinner at the guesthouse. We highly recommend everyone to book some treatments at Bellevue Guesthouse during their stay. They were so relaxing! All in all this was a memorable trip. Thank you guys so much for this wonderful holiday and for enabling us to experience Mauritius from a local point of view too!

We were very happy that we were upgraded to the Penthouse for a special occasion. The accommodation was very good with great views over mountains and ocean?

Das erste Mal für uns auf Mauritius und der Start hätte nicht besser sein können. Das Guesthouse Bellevue Tamarin von Pascale & Fabrice ist wundervoll. Sympathische Gastgeber wie man sich sie nicht besser hätte wünschen können. Ob Reisetipps, Reservierungen für Ausflüge oder Subdowner oder Dinner am Abend oder Small-Talk übernehmen die beiden beim morgendlichen Kaffee auf der Terrasse. Ich habe mich bisher noch nie so schnell so wohl im Urlaub gefühlt und bin dankbar für die Zeit bei euch. Die Unterkunft ist total gemütlich, mit einem tollem Meerblick. Kokosnüsse oder Mangos gibts im eigenen Garten quasi on top „auf die Hand“ EINFACH EMPFEHLENSWERT!

Es war einfach wundervoll. Pascale, Fabrice und ihr Tochter waren ganz bezaubernd und haben sich sehr viel Zeit für uns genommen. Sie haben sich rührend um uns gekümmert. Bei sehr leckerem Kaffee und frischem Obst haben wir viel über die Insel, Restaurants und Ausflüge erfahren. Auch die zwei sehr gut erzogenen und süßen Hunde waren ein weiteres Highlight. Zusammenfassend: Wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder - vielen Dank! 💕
