Zilwa Attitude

Overall the facilities were excellent with minor improvements needed. Unfortunately, on many occasions we were disappointed with luke warm prepared food in the main and lunch buffet restaurants, however the salad areas were very good as was the choice. On closer inspection it appeared as the equipment was not good enough to achieve this and needs upgrading. We visited the A La Carte resturants where food was cooked fresh and had no problems, these were excellent. Whilst it didn't impact our holiday the hotel room was comfortable but tired and rather basic, this need upgrading to a higher standard. All Staff were attentive and friendly and couldn't do enough to help you. Overall we enjoyed out stay but found quality in certain areas compared to other holiday hotels below par. Despite our minor experiences I would be happy to recommend this hotel if asked is it any good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Service and Highly Recommended! We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The service was excellent, and the staff were very welcoming, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. A special thank you to Nitish, Sacchi, Vinesh, and Chef Sanjeet for their outstanding service, kindness, and professionalism. They truly made our experience memorable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for excellent hospitality and a pleasant stay. We look forward to visiting again! 👏😊

We've been to Mauritius before and stayed in the south of the island, but honestly we preferred our experience at Zilwa Attitude. The hotel itself is lovely, the rooms were always clean and comfortable, and the staff were fantastic throughout our stay. We unfortunately didn't catch everyone's names, but every member of staff we interacted with was friendly, welcoming and happy to help. A special mention to Sunam at the bar, who was brilliant. We did have a small issue with the extractor fan in our room not working, but as soon as we mentioned it to reception, someone came round to sort it out straight away. The views were surreal of the sea were unreal! The snorkelling directly from the beach wasn't the best we've experienced, but the hotel offers boat trips further out to the reef (we didn’t book this in the end so not sure what it’s like). The buffet had plenty of choice, and we loved being able to try all five of the à la carte restaurants as part of the all-inclusive package. They were all really good, but the beach restaurant was definitely our favourite for the evening meal. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily return, especially to see our favourite Bonnie and Clyde dog duo🥹 and all th other furry friends

We are now staying at Zilwa Attitude for the second time, and we can warmly recommend this beautiful hotel. The location and the view you get as soon as you enter the hotel are simply breathtaking. I have never experienced such a warm and heartfelt welcome at a hotel before. Even though we had only stayed here once before, we were immediately recognized and welcomed back with so much warmth and kindness. It truly felt like coming home. The service is absolutely outstanding and leaves nothing to be desired. The rooms, as well as the entire resort, are very clean and beautifully maintained. Wherever you are, you have a wonderful view, and the whole atmosphere of the hotel is simply beautiful and relaxing. Whenever we have had a question or needed anything, the staff have been there immediately to help us with so much kindness. You can really feel that the team genuinely cares about making every guest feel comfortable and well looked after. For beach lovers, we also think the north of Mauritius is one of the best areas to stay. The beaches, the scenery and the overall atmosphere are just amazing. We also found a fantastic local guide who has been supporting us with airport transfers and private tours tailored exactly to our wishes. He is incredibly reliable and has made exploring Mauritius so easy and enjoyable. Zilwa Attitude has once again exceeded our expectations, and we are already looking forward to coming back. ❤️

Zilwa Attitude, Mauritius — An In-Depth Review Our stay: 15–29 September We stayed at Zilwa Attitude for two weeks in September for our Honeymoon, and overall, it was a genuinely memorable experience and one of our best holidays. Mauritius itself is an incredible island, but what really stood out for us about Zilwa was the people and the level of personal service. Our highlights include the incredible food at each of the restaurants, the hospitality from staff and the range of things to do both inside at the hotel and the wider island too. The first thing you notice when you arrive at Zilwa Attitude is the view. The hotel has been designed to make the most of its surroundings; it feels like you’ve arrived in a tropical paradise. For an all-inclusive hotel, I thought the food selection was top-notch. At breakfast, there was a very well-stocked buffet with plenty of variety, including a made-to-order egg station. The selection was diverse enough that breakfast never felt repetitive during our two-week stay. At lunchtime you have the choice of the main buffet or an à la carte option. Both are worth trying, and there is plenty of choice. Additionally, after lunch there are pizzas available to order (the Zilwa signature octopus pizza was one of our favourites!). However, it was actually the à la carte restaurant that led to what became one of the most memorable parts of our holiday, and where we found beyond-expectation service at Zilwa Attitude. After being overlooked for 30 minutes at the lunchtime à la carte restaurant, we left for the beach buffet. Before we could even raise the issue, Nitish, the service manager, approached us to apologise. What impressed us most was that the hotel had identified the problem themselves. To make amends, Nitish arranged a special dinner that evening at Lor Disab restaurant, including complimentary premium dishes (delicious langoustines and lamb skewers), turning an unfortunate experience into one of the highlights of our stay – fantastic service. After resolving the initial issue, Nitish continued to exceed expectations. During a later dinner at Kot Nou, our romantic evening was enhanced with complimentary traditional Mauritian dishes and desserts. Nitish continued to check-in with us through the remainder of our stay, organising a cooking session (so fun!) with Chef Vick where we learnt to make Mauritian chicken curry, and caramel flambe bananas. What was especially generous was that we were even a packet of the specific curry powder used by the hotel to take home, along with some garlic pickles, (which are absolutely fantastic and can be found at the main buffet, so delicious). Another day we were also especially grateful to try further Mauritian dishes, like the aubergines with beef, as prepared by Chef Sanjeet – all because my wife said how much she loved the aubergines at Mannau, the Thai restaurant). All this to say that we will remember the exceptional customer service and wonderful experiences long after our holiday has finished. For me, this was the biggest difference between Zilwa and simply staying at a nice all-inclusive hotel. In additional to the superb restaurants, the staff are one of the main reasons I’d return to Zilwa. Everyone was friendly, attentive and genuinely focused on making guests feel welcome. Nitish and Chefs Vick and Sanjeet deserve special recognition, but the excellent service was consistent across the entire team. The bartenders were particularly impressive, creating inventive cocktails and happily surprising us with their own recommendations. With regards to facilities, Zilwa’s beach is divided into three distinct areas, each with its own character, and there were always plenty of sunbeds available. The turquoise sea and beautiful surroundings lived up to the brochure photos. With several well-maintained pools, including one for an adults-only, there were plenty of places to relax and enjoy the views. We also enjoyed a few treatments at the spa, the Ti-Zil couples massage was escellent as was the full body scrub and use of the steam room. My wife also really enjoyed a detoxing facial. The staff at the spa were equally lovely and attentive during our visit. Zilwa offers a great range of complimentary water activities, including kayaking, paddle boarding, windsurfing, sailing, snorkelling and a glass-bottom boat trip. The snorkelling trip is well worth trying, particularly as it is free, with access to a beautiful reef, although visibility and sea conditions can vary. We had pretty choppy conditions snorkelling, one of the drawbacks was that getting back onto the boat could be challenging in rough seas and there was a sense of indifference from the skipper. Overall, the activities add plenty of variety, and there are options to suit different interests and experience levels. Wildlife is another highlight of Zilwa, with geckos, birds, fish and fruit bats regularly seen around the resort. The grounds are also home to several friendly dogs and cats that appear well cared for, adding to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for animal lovers. I’d highly recommend hiring a car to explore the rest of Mauritius. The island is stunning, and having your own transport gives you the freedom to discover it at your own pace. The hotel supports this with early breakfasts and packed lunches, making it an excellent base for sightseeing. Even after two weeks, we felt there was still plenty left to explore. There were a few minor things that could be improved, which I’ll cover honestly, but they don’t take away from what was an excellent holiday. We arrived several hours before check-in, but the staff were extremely accommodating, providing access to a shower room so we could freshen up and start enjoying the resort straight away. An area for improvement was luggage storage, which could benefit from stronger security for guests arriving early or departing late. Also when using the beach, a notable downside was the frequent approach from beach sellers promoting excursions and souvenirs. While a minor issue, the repeated interruptions could detract from the otherwise relaxing beach experience, and better management of this would further enhance guests' enjoyment. We left Mauritius wanting to come back — and we still have plenty of the island left to explore. I would happily return to Zilwa Attitude. Mauritius itself is an unbelievable destination, and Zilwa made a fantastic base from which to experience it. For us, the combination of the setting, the facilities, the food and, above all, the genuinely warm hospitality made Zilwa Attitude an unforgettable holiday.
