Laguna Beach Hotel & Spa

Very friendly staff. 5* swimming pool. Food was great and many varieties to choose. We enjoyed our stay there. Cool and relax!

What an absolute gem of a hotel. From first arriving in our transport from the nearby airport to leaving this hotel we felt at home and so relaxed. We were warmly greeted by the reception team who insisted we sat in the comfortable seating in the beautifully appointed lobby whilst the came to us to fill in paperwork etc; we felt like we were visiting family right from the start. Our room was not ready, it was about 9:30 am, but we were given a tour of the hotel and then taken into breakfast and had our first of many wonderful meals in the well apointed restaurant. We had initially thought we would have to wait until mid-afternoon for our room to be ready. But that's not the way they do things at this hotel. After we had finished a hearty breakfast, we returned to reception where we were given our room card and told our cases had already been delivered to our room. After an overnight flight this was music to our ears. Our room, one of about sixty, all facing the sea, was decorated to reflect Mauritian style. It was well equipped and had a fabulous bathroom complete with rainfall shower. The view from our balcony was to die for; the infinity pool, the beach and harbour, the lagoon with its coral reef breaking the waves about half a mile out and the coast and mountains. The hotel has a two freeform pools; a infinity pool for adults and a separate one, for children. There were sunloungers both around the pools and under the swaying coconut palms on the hotels private beach. We never had any problem getting the lounger we wanted. Entertainment was available both the typical day time exercise type, although there was also a well equiped gym, and the more relaxing music and dance shows at night. All facilities at the hotel were excellent, but the food and drink was the cream of the crop. We were all inclusive and our drinks were seleted from the hotels extensive drinks menu and were exactly the same as all drink being served. None of the sweet syrup filled almost alcholless drinks served in some all inclusives. The food was excellent with a great choice at every meal. There was a diffrent theme each day, such as Indian, Chineese, Mauritian, Romantic meals, with the reastaurant being decorated appriatley each day. Meals were relax with table drinks service and buffet style food. There was always plenty of choice and the food was well cooked, well presented and tasted great. Whilst its possible to find much of the brilliant things about this hotel at other hotels the thing that for us made it standout were the staff. Each and everyone of them never failed to smile and go the extra mile to make sure you were looked after. People like our waitress Davina who , after noticing my wife had caught a cold, probably on the flight, made her hot ginger tea drinks at every meal, even having them delived to our room at bed time. She even made a cake for us to celibrate our 50th wedding anivesary and brought it to us on her day off. Other staff also f

Lovely hotel. Make sure you get a car - not much to do in the surrounding area and a car is imperative to explore. Staff fantastic, good selection of food but often bland. Very fresh. Nice spacious rooms with views of the mountains and sea. Fantastic service from the staff in the restaurant and bar. Table service in the evenings for drinks and self-serve buffet. Lovely clean pool area. Boat trips and excursions straight from outside the hotel. Wouldn't recommend staying if you are not willing to drive around the island to explore. Don't expect a 5* if you are paying 3* prices.
