Rivière Noire District All Inclusive Resorts

"Worst stay at a resort. Staff are not friendly at all, except for the barman at Sega stage. Everyone else makes it feel like they’re doing you a favor. My wife has a medical condition which we tried to get assistance from the front desk and the guy who’s responded couldn’t be less helpful. He was cold and unhelpful. The food is tasteless and boring the exact same menu every single night at the buffet. The entertainment was terrible, they literally hired 3 people to dance randomly on stage. The African night has some good parts but ultimately boring. The resort has no fun activities and the sloped beach lacked beach umbrellas so you’re sitting in the open hot sun. The pool has sporadic activities that catered to a much older group over 60s. The resort is away from everything and over an hour from the airport. The minibar is abysmal for the price you pay, a few sodas and water and 1 beer. No snacks no variety. The in room dining has 3 cold sandwich options for food, that’s it. I can’t believe the price for this horrible experience. I’ve stayed in cheaper better run resorts in Mexico, Dominican and the other side of Mauritius. What a disappointment."

"Ocean view room that overlooked the beach and coconut trees. Amazing!"

"Beautiful resort, 5*"

"All of the above. Everything was perfect, the villa, the beautiful grounds of the La Pirogue, breakfast and dinner buffets. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would highly recomend!"

"While the room was really small and disappointing from the photos' present and also the description of ocean view etc, nothing to talk about, the floors were super slippery and fell down due to the same at the entrance of the property. Over all we can term this is a budget property if you are tight on your purse. Jessica was super enthusiastic and she is the real one who takes maximum efforts to run the show smoothly and makes the shuttle run in the absence of laid back staff, who are less responsive. The reviews can be mixed but having travelled around the world , chose this property only if you are very tight on purse. swimming pool was just ok , but the so called fitness area was pathetic. break fast also was not much to talk about as my wife had no breakfast all the 4 days as it has no proper veg options. Really tough if you have no vehicle as every restaurant close by is really far off."

"Great staff attitude. I'm a returnng guest, and I'm made to feel special "

"Staff were lovely and welcoming. Room was tidy and cleaned daily. Easy access to so many amenities like beach, shops, restaurants and supermarket"

"Absolute paradise of a location!! The views are spectacular and there is wildlife everywhere you look. The sea is crystal clear and amazing for snorkelling in the shallow reefs with so much wildlife and different ecosystems. The room was perfect for us , we stayed in a sunset junior suite with a beautiful balcony, sea views and a massive bath! The cleaning staff were great, we never had any issues with hygiene. The food was very decent and a lot of options for different eaters, the seafood is a standout. The only real negative is the lack of entertainment. We were there early February and it seemed to us on most weekdays there was no entertainment, and the ones we did have of a weekend was of a lower standard than were used to. Having stayed at Lux Belle Mare a year ago, we were surprised with the difference in entertainment. If you want quality live music of an evening choose Lux Belle Mare as there is more of an active evening scene, but if you’re looking for a very calming and slower paced holiday choose here! We would still give this hotel 5 stars, and we got engaged here in the treehouse which I would pick for any romantic celebration. The celebrations centre performed outstandingly, as all staff here do, and couldn’t have asked for a better way to propose to my now fiancé."

"Best pool on the whole west side "
