Le Palmiste

We had a wonderful experience at the resort and the stuff was friendly, the resort though can do with some minor upgrades to o make the experience more enjoyable. We had a water cut while we were showering which was not a nice experience.

Second visit in a year! Yes again exceptional service from all of the team. Ajay we hope to make a third visit next year. Tremendous establishment superb value, good amenities, excellent rooms and cleanliness. Overall a very good atmosphere for a small but perfectly formed resort. Food is delicious the fish is so fresh & tasty. (especially the yellow fin tuna) A quiet stay considering it's ideal location in a town next to huge beautiful beaches.

Very lovely place to have a holiday. Friendly staff. Tasty food. Clean pool.

The hotel has many positives such as 3 nice swimming pools and a reasonable location that, while not on the beach, is close by to it as well as a supermarket and shops. Furthermore the Concierge Ajay was very friendly and immediately built up a good rapport with me and other guests. He arranged an all day island tour which was reasonably priced and helped us to make the most of our limited time. I found the dinners and breakfasts okay but nothing special. These were both buffets but did not offer that much choice nor particularly quality ingredients despite the dinner being relatively expensive compared to other options. There was an old piece of soap in the bathroom which should have been replaced and it would have been nice to get a bottle of water in the room.

So this hotel is nice from the outside. I’m writing this while walking to the nearest atm at 22:30 when my flight leaves at 8, because hotel does accept card payments but not for tourist tax, that NEEDS to be in cash. First checkin: Idk what to say. We showed our voucher after a 13h flight and the first thing they mentioned is why we have a car not by the hotel, sorry what ? I booked a car at the airport?? We got a „premium“ room next to the open restaurant and party area. There is no way to sleep next to the „party area“ till 23:00-24:00, while most activities on Mauritius start at <06:00. I requested another room and got the answer they are fully booked. I got in touch with my booking agency and after they called the hotel suddenly there is a room available. That room is okay, but sleep, nah. There is a dog outside barking from 2-5am because there are people bringing and getting people all night with lights on and running engine. Checkout: There is a tourist tax in Mauritius. In this accommodation it can only be paid in cash. The manager and receptionist did trashtalk me 30min before the answer was that on VISA they will pay a 5% fee to the government - ah ? So it’s a hotel problem not a law as they stated? Food: Sometimes ok, sometimes not ok. For a 3 star hotel it’s okay. Pricing beer almost 4x the local price in an all inclusive hotel is a bit meh. —— I would not recommend this hotel. At most I would give it 2 stars for the nice outside and look. But this management and noise situation is unacceptable.
