the first response was one of welcoming, we were brought fresh warm towels and a drink to freshen us up on arrival. we had just flown 11 hours so this was a great start. the hotel staff were so very friendly and our every requirement was taken care of. the room was of... more

We booked this at the last minute, and after reading some of the reviews I had a minor concern or two, but this proved to be unfounded. We absolutely LOVED this place. Remembering that this is a 3 star resort, there was nothing 3 star about the service. Rooms were more than... more

We came here for our honeymoon and had a brilliant time. When we arrived, we were met with a cold towel and a cocktail, then shown to our rooms, with the staff delivering our luggage several minuates later. As the staff knew this was our honeymoon, our bed and shower area... more

I cannot believe that anyone has a single positive thing to say about this filthy, grimmey, grotty, flea pit. We were due to spend the last 5 nights of our trip round South Africa, in Mauritius at "Le Tropical", I am gad to say that 17 hours after checking in - we were... more

built right in front of a huge graveyard. the hotel has a teeny strip of beach in front of it covered in slippery seawed. the food was ok and the accommodation average. the service was mediocre at best. the boathouse will lend you snorkel equipment but only if you use it on... more

After reading a few reviews before going on our honeymoon to Le Tropical Hotel, we were a little apprehensive. But I have to say all that apprehension was soon taken away within the first hour of arrival! Greeted with a chilled face towel and tropical cocktail, it was a... more

This Hotel is a fantastic Hotel if you smoke. If you are a non smoker go at your peril as there is no non smoking areas except for a small dining area next to the main restaurant. It also has the dreaded towel on sunbed syndrome and take no notice of the trousers for the... more

From the moment we arrived we felt at home. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they showed us the room we had requested via e mail. As promised it had a wonderful view over the ocean and was set out beautifully. It was decorated in a traditional style and the... more

Having just returned from Le Tropical we must state this hotel is really quite faultless. The accommodation is perfectly positioned overlooking the sea. It is a small hotel with 58 rooms yet plenty of space so you don't feel hemmed in. The only fault I could find would... more

Brilliant holiday & evan better wedding!!
We arrived at le tropical as a party of 23 people for our wedding there on 29th march 2008. We were met by great staff who could not do enough for us. When we arrived the island was in the middle of a cyclone which was a little bit worrying but within days the weather was fantastic. The rooms are a little bit basic but who goes on holiday to spend all their time in the room anyway. If you want a totally relaxed holiday then this is the place for you as there is not alot to do in the surrounding area. The boat goes from the boat house 3 times... more
Excellent All Inclusive 3-Star Hotel, Great Value for Money!
Firstly I would have to disagree with the Durbin reviewer... why would you mention a cemetery behind a 7ft wall when you have a beautiful blue lagoon view from your room! Having spent 2 wonderful weeks at this hotel, I would have to say two things. Firstly, if you want 5-star luxury then you will pay considerably more than you pay Le Tropical Hotel. Secondly, if you want lots of restaurants, bars, and lots of things to do, then go and stay at a 300-bed resort. But, if you want to wake up to the sound of birds singing, the sound... more
Fantastic
We had a wonderful holiday on Mauritius at this hotel last week. I cannot believe how anyone would not like this. Perhaps only if you were expecting 5 star quality. The update of the painting etc has definitely been done since that review of January 2006. Also I really did not notice the cemetary and was not bothered by it. The scenery was magnificant, the staff so friendly and there are so many trips you can take on this island. Every single moment was a pleasure. The food is varied, sometimes buffet, or a menu from which you can... more
Smokers World
This is a nice hotel for smokers but if you are a non smoker it has no none smoking areas except for a small dinning area next to the restaurant , the staff are very friendly and the rooms are kept nice and clean but smelt strongly of cigarette smoke when we arrived ,the hotel rules say trousers are to worn for evening meals but shorts are a regular sight the hotel also suffers from the dreaded towel on sunbed syndrome. The hotel is in a nice area with local restaurants nearby
i didnt like it
this is a small hotel on the eastern side of mauritius close to ille de cerfs. i found the hotel situated in a strange area right next to a large cemetary with a high wall seperating the hotel and cemetary. the rooms are average with large beds, a TV, minibar, and a room safe. i had an upstairs room with a balcony. the staff were very attentive and friendly. i went on a "fully inclusive" package which meant free food and drinks all day, but note that the bar only opens at 11am. the food was tasty and plentiful. Tthe beach at the... more
Excellent service
We stayed at Tropical hotel for 10 days in November 2007. At arrival at the hotel we were greeted by the assistant manager and seated in the lobby area. We were given cold towels and a cool fruit cocktail- nice touch. All the check in formalities were completed promptly and within 15 minutes were being shown to our room well before the alloted check in time. The room was pleasant ,airy and very clean, not huge but perfectly adequate. It had a big balcony with steps down to a grassed area which lead straight to the beach. The bathroom was... more
Knockout staff
Thisis a good budget hotel with the most attentive staff I have seen from any hotel anywhere in the world. By the end of 2 weeks they are friends and the rest of the islanders go beyond the pail in terms of being helpful to the visitor The hotel is a bit shabby, it does need a bit of money spent on it but you pays yer money you takes yer choice. The food is average, breakfasts good, evening meals a bit disappointing.Sunbeds outside the rooms are good and the trip to the Ile aux Cerfs is worth it as it is free and there are any... more
Only okay if you're on a budget
I had really high expectations of our holiday in Mauritius but had we stayed here the whole week as planned, then they would not have been met. By the second day I was starting to wonder how to explain to friends how we had only managed to have an 'okay' time in Paradise. To start on the positive side the food is great and the staff are very friendly. The rooms face the sea which means you can gaze at the beautilful waves and white sand from your bed. However there were some problems that these plus points could not outweigh. <br... more
Small and Friendly
Very friendly, small hotel, staff as good as, if not better than many 5 star hotel staff. All inclusive package, good value. Rooms, average size, ground floor rooms have large patio area, and almost private lawned area. Beds extremely large - easy to loose your partner !. Food a little strange - a mix of nouveau cuisine and something else !, however very plentiful, and well cooked (No "tummy" problems). Beach almost non existant, but large lawned area in front of rooms, facing sea. Free boat trips to an island, 20 minutes, with superb beach.... more
Quiet and Isolated
Just got back with my wife from 2 weeks in Mauritius staying at the Tropical Hotel upon arrival it is immediately noticable how small the Hotel is. Being only 60 rooms in size the Hotel is friendly and very easy to make new friends , unlike the hustle and bustle of bigger hotels where you very rarely see the same face twice. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a double bed that could comfortably fit 5 people, all rooms face the sea and come with there own small patio. The beach is less than 20 metres from your door but don't... more
