"We stayed at C Mauritius for 12 nights for our honeymoon, from 15th June 2025. We’d read about the East Coast of Mauritius being particularly windy in Mauritian “winter” but the amazing reviews made it a risk worth taking. And the reviews aren’t wrong! We loved every minute of our stay at C Mauritius Palmar. From the room and terrace (a Prestige suite) and welcome gifts, to the delicious food and drinks, beautiful pools and beach, and most important of all, the friendly and professional service from all staff - it exceeded our expectations! This was our first time in Mauritius and the hotel team made us feel so welcome. They speak English and French (and other languages like Italian), are always happy to help and helped us organise a driver to other parts of the island quickly (thanks Olivier)! We want to thank Jai, Jasmine, Vicky, Abishek, Moon, the chefs and so many others on the service team whose names we didn’t get. Catherine makes incredible eggs and omelettes! Vidhi and colleagues at reception were a pleasure to speak with. Reshma and Mega were wonderful message therapists in the spa ❤️ thanks too to the housekeeping, laundry and gardening teams for doing such a great job every day! We recommend C Mauritius in Palmar to everyone (couples, solo travellers, friend groups or families) looking for a beautiful and organised resort, an excellent and generous all-inclusive, chilled vibes and beautiful Indian Ocean waters 冀 Merci! Thank you! Grazie!"

"We travelled from Australia and stayed at this beautiful hotel in Mauritius, let me tell you hands down this is one of the best hotels I have been to with breathtaking sea views, private beach, beautifully unique designed hotel and best five star in class service. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with a friendly smile. All the staff were very helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you to the reception staff and management for helping us plan our days accordingly to what we liked. Thank you to security at the front of the hotel for your exceptional service and friendly smiles each day. Thank you to the hotel staff for ensuring our room was clean and tidy to perfection each day. There is one highlight that we will never forget which is the dine in at the Tek Tek restaurant with our own private chef. The six course menu was inspired by the islands rich culture and let me tell you the food was on another level with the combination of flavours the dishes were perfection. Each dish was made with love from the Chef. Thank you Chef Shiva and Helper Karan for the most wonderful night and dine in experience you both made our experience staying at Mauritius incredible. We hope to see you both again soon. If you would like a luxurious stay I definitely recommend staying at this hotel. 🙂"

"We had an amazing time at The Peninsula Beach Resort. "

"We loved every second of our stay here. We were upgraded to a beachfront frangipani room which was great. 4 different restaurants - all with fantastic food (Saffran was probably our fave). We had no issue getting reservations. The all included watersports (inc motorised) were amazing. The staff were all fabulous- they couldn’t do enough to help you. We’re already planning our return trip. "

"We spent 3 days at the bubble lodge in the ocean bubble and it was an unforgettable experience, everything was beautiful! The only improvement needed is for the AC in the bubble, it needs to be stronger as it can get very warm early in the morning. This aside everything else is perfect. Only the lodge guests can stay on the island at night so we had the beach only for us after 5pm, when the last shuttle leaves. Even though it feels a bit too exposed at the beginning, you get lots of privacy and no one can access your bubble surroundings. I felt very secure at night as there are guards around. Shout out to the bar and restaurant at the beach Le Flibuster, great food and service! We had the premium dinner package to celebrate my partner birthday- delicious food and soo much! and they even made us a complimentary cake, very appreciated! It really was a great stay- we will be back!"
