ROYAL PALM BEACHCOMBER MAURITIUS

Make no mistake the Royal Palm in Mauritius is a great hotel. But, its greater for the guests who are in the better rooms, like the suites. We booked an ordinary standard double room for 2. Upon entering I saw the silk bed pillows were stained with what looked like hair grease. The bedroom chair's upholstery was dirty. I called housekeeping to change it. Unacceptable for a "6" star resort. It got worse. Twice my room key didn't work! Within 1 hr! I remember on arrival a staff member laughing that our door lock was broken. 6 star' Only when I threatened to complain to the company that owns the hotel, was I upgraded. (By my request) As many people who have reviewed the RP agree..your beach seat is assigned as per your room. Suite' Better position. Once we were actually in the suite, it was gorgeous, and the hotel couldn't do enough to try and make us happy. Breakfast time, you are really pampered. Music at night great. Cigars are allowed in the lounge (ugh) As far as beauty, incomparable in my view in Mauritius. But, again, very very expensive. The beach is sheltered and very lovely, but their beach vendors are highly intrusive, but the hotel doesn't seem bothered. So, beautiful pampering hotel with a few problems.

We stayed here in mid July post a safari trip. This hotel is really a marvellous place in which to stay and unwind. The service at all levels - reception, dining, the beach guys etc. etc. is impeccable. Not only professional, but warm and friendly. The food offering is delicious and we particularly enjoyed the wide variety of fish on offer. Rooms - all looking over the sea, I think - are spacious and well maintained. I really cannot recommend it highly enough and we will definitely be going back.

La plage restaurant was just wow. Staff were super attentive and amazing. Food was just delicious. We took the royal palm Salad which was filled with the most fresh ingredients. The best service we had received in a long time. Well done to the Chefs and the whole team at La Plage restaurant-Keep up the world class standards-Thank you for giving us the best :) KKK-A

We have stayed in many 5 star hotels in Khan Paris and in Lucern Switzerland This was in comparison with these on parr if not better The service we received was something we never got from any of our travels so far With out a mention we would be greated by name with not even a reminder over our 4 day stay We had booked sun beds with all the service expected of such a hotel They were friendly and helpful and always prepared to help with needs like a special breakfast in our room We look forward to our next visit

This is the most lovely hotel, simply amazing from start to finish! We were greeted three times and taken straight to our room to sort out formalities. The staff were wonderful and made our stay one of the best experiences. The resort is perfectly set out and due to its size, means everything is close by. The beach was amazing and we loved having lunch there, both hotel restaurants are fantastic. The gym is up to date with a huge amount of new equipment. I had a massage at the spa and this again was gorgeous. It was my birthday and they gave me a lovely cake and gift, very generous. All in all one of the best hotels I have ever been too.
