Riu Palace Mauritius

This beach resort has a huge treasure of entertaining activities - morning sunrise watch on the high mound to star gazing in the calm , deep and dark sky , unpolluted by urban over illumination. The well groomed staff recieves and serves you with smile, from reception, to the cafeteria, to drink n snax bars , to swimming pool , to restuarants distributed across the resort. Entire beach is managed to make it comfort friendly. It is highly recommended to enjoy the full board dining option. The chief chef was kind enough to prepare special veg dishes to the delight for our pallets. Four days are not enough here.

We have just returned from our third holiday at the Riu Palace at Le Morne, and once again, we had a wonderful time. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we have already booked to return next year! As always, the staff were amazing, and we would like to say a very special thank you to everyone. They were all genuinely lovely and went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable. There are, however, a few people we would particularly like to mention. Kentish, the restaurant manager, was a truly excellent host. He was always smiling, welcoming and attentive to guests, and really stood out as a proactive and engaging member of the management team. We would also like to thank Smeta, Iris and Vikash on reception, who consistently went out of their way to help us and make our stay more enjoyable. Smita especially was so incredibly helpful through our stay. Alexis in the coffee bar deserves a special mention for his proactive and friendly service, as do Vagshigh , Joshel and Mohtabh in the bars, John, Mana and Ujjwal in the restaurants, and Suraj and Raju, who were wonderfully helpful with our luggage —- of which we had rather a lot of kitesurfing kit - as well as arranging taxis for us when we had a medical issue to handle. There were many other members of the team who deserve a mention too, but there are simply too many to name individually. All in all, the Riu Palace Le Morne has a fantastic team of people who work incredibly hard to make their guests’ stay special. We had another excellent holiday and are already looking forward to coming back next year!

Wow! What an amazing hotel and holiday. Welcome to paradise!! Check in was seamless, we arrived early and were given access to our room within an hour. All facilities were available for us straight away. All the reception staff were welcoming and helpful from the beginning and we never were kept waiting when we had queries. The room was very spacious and really big bathroom. Plenty of storage space. An iron and ironing board were provided (wasn’t doing any of that!!) Kept spotlessly clean each day. We paid extra for a sea view, well worth the extra, this does overlook the pool area too, but it is not noisy after 6/7pm. The food was plentiful and delicious. The restaurant staff were all attentive, but a special mention to Christian who was such a kind and gentle man. Knew our drinks and table preferences from our 2nd day. The speciality restaurants were all very good, try them all for different dining experiences. They are really easy to book on the RIU app, maybe not the exact days you might want…. But what else are you doing other than relaxing?! Le Morne itself is 90 mins from the airport. A very safe place. Can walk up the beach to the left and go up the mountain, an ok walk for moderate fitness. To the right is the beach and can walk along it for a few miles. Advise would be beach shoes, it’s a tough walk in flip flops!! You can be as active or as chilled as you want here. We did aqua gym to work off the food and drink!! We did 2 trips, Southern Tour which was great to see the culture of Mauritius and The 5 Islands tour is a fabulous day out and plenty of music & rum punch!!! Just to note this starts and ends back near the airport so 90 mins each way. RIU Hotels you excelled again. Mauritius we will be back.

Vashish is the best!!! This man has hsnds of gold! Great cocktails.

We had an awesome experience in Riu Palace Le Morne. Great hotel, the best food, perfect location for windsurfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing. Special thanks to Vashish for making us the best cocktails day after day 👌👍🙏❤️
