We (me and my boyfriend) stayed at the Hilton Mauritius Resort for four days. We were travelling from South Africa and had booked the lovely resort through the online portal of Antilog Vacations. The site came up in a random search and fulfilled our expectations.
The gardens are very nice and neatly maintained. A road adjacent to the hotel starts from the garden and is generally used for travel to the city or the beach. Though the road is a little narrow but travelling as a couple the route is quite romantic. A long stretch of the Flic en Flac public beach area is nearby which leads to a plethora of beach restaurants and shacks.
The beach is a non swimming one but a haven for photographers given its exquisite milieu. Small coral and pebble pieces line the beach and hence it is advisable not to walk bare footed. Another interesting thing is that small canoes, paddle boats and kayaks are available nearby freely and competent people could go for a ride as the sea is not that rough. Snorkeling over the nearby coral reef is another must try in case you are here. Gear and other stuff are easily available here.
The room was quite spacious but surprisingly the bed’s mattress was a little hard. The room was replenished and cleared twice per day and had basic facilities. The bath could have been a little larger though and usual stuff was supplied. Robes and slippers were also provided.
The spa available at the resort was highly marketed and we were really looking forward to it. It was not the best massage we had experienced and we would have liked slightly better experience given the tariff we were paying. The gym and the sauna - steam rooms though were located nearby and aided in providing a holistic experience.
