MAGNIFICENT HOTEL IN MAHEBOURG - exceptional hotel location, feet in the water, private beach, (pedal boats, windsurfing, canoes, glass bottom boat free activities) very spacious and well equipped room, very very welcoming and helpful staff: all are taking great care (from general eating to cleaning staff, catering, bar, entertainment) with customers and a kindness that cannot be found anywhere else. The island is splendid and full of beautiful excursions and discoveries. We have just returned, a little sad to leave this beautiful site, but we promised to return very soon. A big thank you to RAVI, VEEJESS for this wonderful welcome that we cannot forget and to their teams; thank you also to LINDA, to the chef Vikash who is always very attentive, to PATRICE, RAJEN (bar), PRAKASH (very clean room) as well as to the reception staff without forgetting the entire KAPPA team (Anaëlle, Noémie, Marcello, Dudley) everyone contributed to making our stay unforgettable!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL Martine and Richard room 1153

great experience in Mauritius - small, friendly, family-run hotel. the staff is very welcoming and available. simple and good food. The only downside is that you need to bring shoes for swimming, lots of stones. otherwise, there is a lagoon 5 km away, very accessible. thanks to deborah, christophe and marcello for the animation coralia. They greatly contributed to making our stay very pleasant. Cécile and Luc

A memorable swimming with dolphins - We went to swim with Dolphins in October 2023. The pickup from the hotel was well-organized, including the transfer to the coast and back. The guys organizing the entire event are professional and well-experienced. At first, we went out to the place where the group of dolphins were spotted. As per the guide, they swim in that path during the mornings, so it is possible to spot them with snorkeling equipment. If you have fins, take them with you, as only glasses and the breathing pipe are provided. If you have fins, you can technically swim above them picking up their speed. The water there is approximately 10 meters deep, so as soon as the skipper and the guide spot them, they position the boat in their line and let you know when to jump in the water. Then the dolphins submerge to approximately 5-6 meters where you can swim above them. The boat does this action a couple of times if you miss to spot them for some reason. If you have a GoPro camera or any waterproof camera, you can make nice videos of them passing by. Our tour guide took my GoPro and made a wonderful video of the dolphins and us swimming together. After this session, we were taken to a spot where we had a short snorkeling time. I highly recommend these guys due to their professionality and readiness.

Long wait, too many people - A wait of over an hour to board the boat. Our boat arrived last, there were already around twenty of them. Poor exhausted dolphins trying to find some peace and quiet.

Expensive and disappointing. - Meet at 6 a.m., the sky is cloudy, we board the boat and sail in the lagoon for 30 minutes then we approach the coral reef in search of dolphins but nothing. The dolphins are not waiting for us, they surely have better things to do! An outing paid €120 for 2 hours (at the hotel, it’s €200). It's expensive to just discover Ile au Bénétier and pass hotels. I do not recommend because it is really a stroke of luck to see the dolphins, it is better to take a boat trip to discover the northern islands: flat island, Gabriel islet.
