Constance Prince Maurice, Mauritius

Absolutely amazing hotel. From the time you arrive until you leave they treat you as a real 'Prince '. Personal greetings, welcome drinks, personal room tour,... Also a very extensive breakfast with things like freshly made pancakes, waffles, all kinds of egg dishes, bacon, fresh cheeses, samosa 's, other Asian cuisine, fresh fish, 4 types of fruit juices, freshly baked gluten free breads and cakes,... So many options to choose from and all very tasty. A few things you HAVE to do in the hotel: 1. Le Barachois (being the 'floating restaurant ' which is one of the most unique dining experiences you can have. The other restaurants being the 'Archipel ' (main restaurant and the Asian restaurant are also great, just a bit more 'ordinary ' compared to this. Still very tasty and extremely well prepared dishes though! 2. Go waterskiing/kayaking/paddleboarding/sailing. All free-of-charge to use as a guest of the hotel. 3. Float on the 'water-pillows ' in the main swimming pool, very relaxing. 4. Get a 'couples massage ' with your significant other at the SPA, you will feel reborn afterwards. 5. Go snorkeling at 1 of the small 'islands ' at the far right/east corner of the hotel. We saw some lion fish, water snakes, sea snails (Cypraea tigris , special sea urchins and lots of other fish over there. If you really want to see lots of live corals and turtles in their natural habitat I suggest going to Blue Bay Beach in the South of Mauritius though. 6. What you absolutely HAVE to do is the room service, or as they like to call it: 'In room dining ', which is indeed a better way to describe the experience. We wished we did this more evenings, as all the rooms have a large balcony with a beautiful view. We had suite 27, looking over the fish reserve and the pathway to Barachois, with the sun setting directly in front of you. Absolutely insane price/quality ratio. Would definitely recommend this room as a 'Junior Suite '. Summarized: A-MA-ZING experience with this hotel and their lovely staff. I can 't recommend them enough. Thank you for making every guest feel so special!

The best holiday and honeymoon! We felt like in 7*, not 5* hotel. The best hotel and time from last 20 years of travelling. You have everything there to make you feel like milioner;

The best resort I've stayed at! I could not fault our experience. From the initial pick up at the hotel to our departure, everything was seamless. The resort and its surrounding are stunning, the staff are welcoming and attentive and go significantly above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay. Special mention must go to Yash. The food was varied and of high quality, the room clean and spacious and with plenty to do at the resort. It was my first time water skiing and loved it, even better that you're not charged extra for this. My massage by therapist Vanila was the best I've ever had and wish I could get that kind of treatment here in London. If you're looking for an all round amazing experience, then this is the place for you. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere!

Nothing compares to Le Prince and their outstanding personnel, it’s like coming to Paradise! I can’t rave enough about how much I love everything about this magical place. The design is colonial and the rooms are beautiful, myself architect I particularly like all the gorgeous details. Small hotel makes the feeling very “family” never too crowded. It’s located in a lagoon that creates a wind free environment and the most perfect, beautiful sand beach with low water (great for kids). The beach is my happy place, amazing service by the kindest waiters. My husband and kids spend lots of time by the huge beautiful pool in the middle of the facility. The kids club is so much fun for all ages (mine are 5,6,8) they request to spend time there, lovely personnel . Beautiful mangrove floating restaurant that we love to walk to at sunset. Overall all three restaurants have top notch dining. The staff is what really makes this place so special. The front desk with everyone being so kind and helpful, Akshada, Dipa, Jennifer, Christina, Sen, Guillaume, the whole beach team, the pool master, the spa, many names are getting lost (bad name memory) but you all are amazing! I’m greeted with a warm hug and I cry each time I leave, wishing to stay longer! Love you all and longing for my much anticipated yearly stay!!! Karolina, Damien with Vadim Max and Jean

Pros Good service (but we had better at other 5 star hotels) Beautiful pools (especially the adult pool) Good breakfast Spacious room Beautiful gym and great sauna Lots of water activities Cons Room (wooden) floor squeaked loudly when walked on. We stayed downstairs and we could hear people in the room above us walking, closing the door, dragging their chair (a lot when they returned from dinner late around midnight) We had bad nights because of this. Room AC is not cold. Even though it's set at the lowest (18.5C) it felt like 25c. We read so many great reviews and were expecting a lot from this hotel but we were disappointed. Overall, it was an ok stay but we won't stay here again.
