During the racing season in Mauritius, Champ De Mars is the best place to be on a Saturday afternoon. There are 8 races in total (first at 12.45pm and the last one at 5pm). Forget the stuffinessof British horse racing, this place is alive with sound, colour, hustle, bustle and an atmosphere that will bring you out in goosebumps. The... more

As airline crew we stay at various hotels and do expect some problems from time to time but this place had quite a big problem, staff that steal. I have stayed at this hotel twice now, the first time 3 of us got our bills changed from ordering the cheapest bottle of wine to the most expensive which we did... more

I just returned from a 2-week holiday on Mauritius during which we stayed at this hotel for the whole time. A short review: The room: We had a penthouse suite, which is decently furnished, has a nice terrace, the kichen is well-equipped, tv and DVD player are available, so is a safe box. The bathrooms are nice and with hot... more

Beautifully tended botanical gardens with plenty of tropical and sub tropical plants and trees. Give it a couple of hours to wander around the gardens in an unhurried educational visit. There is an entrance charge now for tourists but well worth a couple fo quid. The most spectacular display of the giant lily pads named after Queen Victoria. Near the... more

I stayed in Labourdonnais for a week while in Port Louis on business. Most of my colleagues recommended the hotel, but it fell short of my expectations. As a business hotel it is fine - the amenities are there, cable internet, nice buffet breakfast, etc. However, the carpet in my room is old and desperately needs replacing, my room is... more

I found this hotel to be very overrated, her sister hotel Lesuffren is far better . The staff at Labourdonnais are not very friendly and unfortunately dont all have the same information as I was given several different answers to my questions . The rooms are nice but there are no water bottles or coffee and tea making facilities in... more

In Mauritius everything loses at 5pm so there wasn’t much to do. Hence, we used to get up early and then started our daily excursions. The first place we went to was Port Louise which is the capital of Mauritius. Here we went to the Le Caudon waterfront, Port Louise waterfront and Harbor water front malls which have good branded... more

Enjoyed our stay. The rooms are practically on the beach. More than adequate amenities. Very polite staff. Helped us no end with candid advise and tips. Will return. more

With extremely short time (Cruise ship stop) and not having Mauritius rupees we could not enter the Museum, only its nice Souvenir shop, where we could not purchase anything, because of the currency problem.(Our info .has been that Dollars, Euros and British Pounds are generally accepted in Port Louis.) Nearby shops ( mostly Indian sales persons) readily accepted leading currencies.... more

We have just returned from a vacation to Mauritius in early May. It was the first time that we visited this beautiful island nestling in the Indian Ocean just next to Madagascar. Since we had gotten married, Mauritius was some how always there on our travel map and we really wanted to visit and enjoy the white sandy beaches and... more

There is a choice between buffet or ala carte - NEITHER IS ANY GOOD!!!!!!!. First off all: there is no food left halfway through the serving (breakfast or dinner), the food is the same each and every day, the food has got absolutely no taste!!! Not even the curry dish - imagine curry tasting like nothing! The bowels and serving... more

OK ok not bad avoid the Buffet more

The deer is great in the season!! more

I read all the previous reviews on this site and was a bit worried about selecting this hotel. I was quite plesantly surprised as to how neat, tidy and central this hotel was. The staff were very polite and made every attempt to make our stay comforatble even though they did not speak english. The rooms are bright and clean.... more

Singer Resto? More like Singe Resto! The waitress' attitude was rude and pathetic, and she blamed us when she got us the wrong order. If at least the food was good! Not worth the trip, folks; better to eat on the streets. more

my favorite more

the best of all more

Very nice the food but Blacksteers remain the best in steak. The decoration is very nice when you enter the restaurant you see on the floor TV plasma and balls... more

Completely disagree with most of the reviews here. We stayed over Christmas and had a wonderful time. The beach was clean and there were plenty of beds and umbrellas. Noticed some dogs, but you get this everywhere in Mauritius. Never heard them bark, and never saw them go near anyone. Room was basic, but nice and clean. It was right... more
