We have just returned from the absolute paradise. We are a family with 3 teenage children and we rented a villa for 2 weeks over Christmas. Everything was just perfect. The resort had so much to offer including all the services of hotels Telfair and Awali, and the big bonus was the golf included. We played 10 rounds in the golf course, which was very beautiful and challenging enough. It was not too crowded either. The staff in the resort was extremely friendly and helpful. For example, when we had a flat tyre in our golf cart, it was fixed in no time. The restaurants were of good quality. We recommend advance booking, as we could not always get a table for 5 in short notice during high season. We had a huge terasse with fantastic ocean view, so we did not mind dinners at home. The resort needs a better grocery store, and the one in Chemin Grenier 15 min drive away is not very well equipped, if you want to get fish or meat. All in all, we have travelled a lot, and never go back to the same resort, but this is a resort & island where we wish to return. Highly recommended, true 5 stars. We were also lucky with the weather during the cyclone season. Just a couple of days with some rain, otherwise we had good weather. Think of swimming with dolphins in the ocean, seeing giant turtles, swimming in natural waterfalls, and you will understand how fantastic Mauritius was. This resort keeps you active, but also has a very beautiful peaceful beach with coral garden for snorkeling.
