Stayed for two weeks from January to February, and what a lovely hotel. Checking in after a 12 hour flight was a bit of a faff unfortunately. A paper copy of our booking was required, we were able to email it to them in the end. I refuse to print off pointless pieces of paper nowadays. Our room was very large and comfortable, I particularly liked the sliding partician around the bathroom, it really gave a sense of space and added light. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very peacefully. I must say, i found the aircon to be amazing, possibly the best ive ever encountered. Our view, and room location was great. The AI mini bar offering was disappointing. No sugar free drinks such as diet coke and beer chargeable. Snacks, crisps and wafer biscuits both chargeable. The grounds are beautiful, especially the walk, or buggy ride up to the farm and ruins. We visited the farm to see the wonderful giant tortoise, we always visit some in Mauritius. The ruins are well worth a visit. The area and the buildings of the fine dining restaurants are very lovely. The staff at Maratim were so friendly and welcoming, and made our stay so much better for it. We booked all inclusive as my husband can try new thingswithoutworrying (fussy eater). Unfortunately, we did find the rules a tad restrictive and confusing at times.There seemed to be one meat, a veg, a vegan option on most menus for AI, too restrictive for us. You could pay extra, but again, a faff .All other hotels in Mauritius that we've stayed at have had very few , and easy to follow restrictions which we prefer. We don't generally eat 3 meals a day, and I'm afraid this could turn us off returning. We ate mostly at the buffet Belle Vue. Wow!!!! Firstly, it's the only buffet restaurant that I've been to where it didn't have a 'canteen ' feeling. The lighting was ambient and the restaurant comfortable. Secondly, the food area is separated by glass and very well air conditioned which we loved, especially for cooling off lol. I love a buffet, but the food choices and presentation here was the best I've experienced anywhere. Healthy, delicious, varied, and the meat was of very good quality. My husband enjoyed curries and beautifully spiced foods that he's never enjoyed before. Well done all staff involved, truly. We ate a few times at La Maree. The food was nice, but one waiter was quite rude to our friend which was disappointing. It also got confusing as we ate there more than our alloted 'one visit per week'. It wasn't helped by inviting some friends along from outside, and others weren't on AI. We were advised to book as there were 7 of us, but the booking was unknown on arrival. The staff were overwhelmed, but the 2 ladies who mostly served us turned it around and were charming too, thank you. We only ate once at Filaos. It was OK for a beach bbq, nothing great and a limited choice of salad. We mostly used Quarterdeck bar during the day and evening. The staff were lovely , e
