Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury
Grand Baie, Mauritius
Best overallRoyal Palm Beachcomber Luxury is a hotel for travellers who put service first… Guests describe staff who remember preferences, adapt meals to particular diets and take time with children, and the word they use most is attentive. They also praise the cleanliness and the food. The setting supports it: a white sandy beach on Grand Baie, large gardens and suites with a balcony or terrace facing the ocean. Several guests note that the hotel never feels crowded, even with three pools and four à la carte restaurants along the bay. The style is classic rather than contemporary, with wood, marble and fine fabrics, and one guest sums it up as old style. That suits some tastes more than others, and the salt air has left marks on a few doors. Couples and families who want a quiet beach base with attentive staff will be well looked after here; anyone looking for a lively scene is better placed elsewhere in Grand Baie.
Why this position
Highest guest score of the 11 hotels we rank here: 9.7 from 182 reviews. Leads the ranking: a higher guest score than #2 (9.7 to 9.3).
Seapoint Boutique Hotel
Grand Baie, Mauritius
BeachSeapoint Boutique Hotel suits travellers who want a beach hotel without the scale of a resort… It sits on the shore at Pointe aux Canonniers, along the coast from Grand Baie, and guests come back to the same points: staff who handle requests quickly and kindly, spotless rooms with plenty of space, and good food from breakfast onwards. The heated infinity pool looks over the beach, and several couples single out the calm, unhurried mood. The small size has its trade-offs. There is no gym on the property, though one guest found a gym with padel courts a short way up the road, and there are fewer organised activities than at the larger resorts. At dinner, men are asked to wear long trousers and closed shoes, which some guests find uncomfortable. For couples who want a quiet, personal stay by the water, these are minor points.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #1 (986 to 182), at a slightly lower score (9.3 to 9.7).
The Oberoi Mauritius
Grand Baie, Mauritius
Private poolThe Oberoi Mauritius is for travellers who want calm and privacy more than a busy beach scene… It sits on Turtle Bay at Balaclava, in 20 acres of gardens that guests describe as beautifully landscaped and kept in immaculate condition. The staff come up in almost every review, usually as the reason the stay went so well, and the villas with their own pool are a favourite with couples. Guests also mention the sea views, the sunsets over the bay, the restaurants and a very good breakfast. There are a few points to weigh. Meals in the resort cost more than at restaurants nearby, and one guest found the valet service hard to get hold of. The beach on Turtle Bay suits a quick dip more than a long swim, so most of the swimming happens in the three pools. Couples who plan to spend their days in the grounds will find little to fault.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 11 hotels we rank here: 9.4 from 345 reviews. Scores higher than #2 (9.4 to 9.3), on a smaller body of reviews (345 to 986).
Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel
Grand Baie, Mauritius
Adults onlyParadise Cove Boutique Hotel is built around couples… It is an adults-only hotel at Anse la Raie, near Cap Malheureux on the north coast, renovated in 2019 and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Guests write most about the staff, who are described as friendly, welcoming and quick to help, and several reviews name individual team members. The setting comes next, with sea views as soon as you wake up, then the food, the beautifully appointed rooms and two pools where, as one guest noted, there are enough sunbeds for everyone. The few complaints are about food choice and the beach. One guest found breakfast limited and the dinner buffet running out of dishes early without being topped up, and another missed having a beach long enough to walk on. One honeymoon couple felt the occasion was not acknowledged. For couples who want a calm, romantic stay with four restaurants on site, it is a good fit.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 11 hotels we rank here: 9.4 from 218 reviews. The same guest score as #3 (9.4), on a smaller body of reviews (218 to 345).
La Maison 20 Degrés Sud
Grand Baie, Mauritius
ViewsLa Maison 20 Degrés Sud is a small, adults-only hotel set in a former colonial mansion at Pointe Malartic, on the Grand Baie coast road… Behind a large oak door are 36 individually styled rooms and suites, pools heated to 28°C and a stretch of sandy beach with open views over the water. Three things come up again and again in reviews: the food, the staff and the calm. Several guests also mention free use of kayaks, sailing boats and snorkelling gear, and seafront rooms with a balcony and an outdoor shower. The complaints are small and specific. Birds help themselves to food at the outdoor tables, and one couple found the indoor shower in their room very cramped. As an adults-only hotel it is not an option for families. For couples who want good food, a quiet beach and a small hotel rather than a large resort, it fits well.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #4 (258 to 218), at a slightly lower score (9.1 to 9.4).
The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa
Grand Baie, Mauritius
DesignThe Westin Turtle Bay suits travellers who want variety inside the resort's own grounds… It sits on Turtle Bay at Balaclava with views across the Indian Ocean, and guests describe buildings that feel open yet warm, with landscaped gardens around the two pools. The staff draw the most comments: welcoming, polite and quick to help. Five restaurants give real choice from one night to the next, and several guests mention the food and the generous room sizes. The location is the main trade-off, and one guest found it awkward to eat outside the hotel. Another felt the all-inclusive package covered less than the name suggests, so check what your plan includes before you book. On arrival, nobody was on hand to carry luggage for one couple. Travellers who plan to spend most of their time in the resort will be well looked after.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #5 (1,265 to 258), at a slightly lower score (9.0 to 9.1).
LUX* Grand Baie Resort & Residences
Grand Baie, Mauritius
Spa & wellnessLUX* Grand Baie Resort & Residences is for travellers who want a modern beach resort in Grand Baie itself rather than further along the coast… It sits on the coast road with a private beach area, four pools and a rooftop restaurant with an infinity pool. Guests single out the location, the modern rooms and the food: breakfast gets warm reviews, and four restaurants, a café and five bars give plenty of choice through the week. Rooms are described as clean, comfortable and well equipped, and one guest liked that drinking water was supplied throughout. The criticisms are modest. Drinks at the bar feel expensive for what they are, and more than one guest wanted more activities and entertainment in the evening. Service in the restaurants was uneven for some, and one guest found the pillows too soft. For couples and friends who want good food, a beach and a modern room in Grand Baie, it is a comfortable base.
Why this position
Level with #6 on the guest score (9.0) and on the reviews behind it.
Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa
Grand Baie, Mauritius
Trou aux Biches Beachcomber is a big, well-organised resort built around its beach… Nearly two kilometres of white sand face a lagoon with almost no waves, and guests who snorkel praise the house reef. Behind the beach lie 35 hectares of gardens, seven pools and eight restaurants, and the choice of places to eat comes up again and again in reviews, along with the breakfast and the evening events. Families single out the main pool, where whole sections are only 40 cm deep, and several guests mention big, clean rooms and friendly staff. The scale has a downside. The gardens are wide and green, so insects are part of the stay, and one couple had a lizard in their room. Some parts of the resort feel slightly dated, and service at the pool bar could be quicker. Families with young children and couples who want space and variety will find plenty to like here.
Why this position
Sits behind #7 on both the score (8.9 to 9.0) and the sample it rests on (813 to 1,108 reviews).
Le Meridien Ile Maurice
Grand Baie, Mauritius
Le Meridien Ile Maurice suits guests who want a big resort with plenty to do inside the grounds… It sits in tropical gardens at Pointe aux Piments, with a large pool area, three pools in all and direct access to a white sandy beach. Guests praise the staff, the food and the spacious rooms, several with balconies over the pool, the garden and the sea. One honeymoon couple stayed twelve nights and barely left the hotel. Couples also like the adults-only section, and the spa offers body treatments as well as a sauna, steam bath and hot tub. The beach is the weak point that comes up most often: guests say it is not ideal for swimming. One reviewer found the breakfast very European, with few Indian or Mauritian options, and another noted a bathroom with two doors that both had to be shut. For couples and friends who will spend their days at the pools and spa, it is a well-run choice.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #8 (1,819 to 813), at a slightly lower score (8.8 to 8.9).
LUX* Grand Gaube Resort & Villas
Grand Baie, Mauritius
LUX* Grand Gaube Resort & Villas suits guests who want a full resort on the north coast, a little away from Grand Baie… It sits on the beach at Grand Gaube, with a pool looking out over the Indian Ocean, rooms with furnished balconies and villas, some with a kitchenette and a private pool. The staff draw the most praise, and honeymoon couples in particular describe being well looked after. Guests also rate the food, from the dinner and breakfast buffets to the restaurants, and say there is plenty to do for anyone who does not want to leave the resort, including free glass-bottom boat trips. The criticisms centre on upkeep and a few service gaps. Some guests found parts of the resort dated and in need of maintenance, and one described check-in and check-out as awkward. Another felt the spa fell short of the rest of the stay. For couples who want to switch off and let the resort fill the days, it is a dependable choice.
Why this position
The largest body of guest feedback on this page: 2,032 reviews, averaging 8.8. Level with #9 on the guest score (8.8) and on the reviews behind it.
Constance Sakoa Boutik
Grand Baie, Mauritius
Affordable luxuryConstance Sakoa Boutik suits travellers who want a small hotel with the sand a few steps from the room… It sits on the coast road at Trou aux Biches with direct access to Mont Choisy Beach, where guests describe soft sand and a sunset over the water every evening. The size is part of the appeal: reviewers mention the quiet, the exclusive feel and staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are described as clean, spacious and comfortable, and the beachfront suites as right on the sand. The trade-offs also come with the size. Breakfast is the most common complaint, with guests finding the buffet limited, and there is no gym. Garden rooms are fairly close to the road, so they can pick up traffic noise, and mosquitoes appear in a few reviews. For couples who want calm, a pool and the beach rather than a long list of facilities, it is a relaxed base on the north-west coast.
Why this position
Scores higher than #10 (9.0 to 8.8), on a smaller body of reviews (669 to 2,032).
