Merville Beach

Lovely resort, very friendly staff, a big shout out to Kiran who went out of his way to advice us places to visit in the island. Our room was great, the beds/pillows wonderful, the food tasty, and overall resort was clean and safe. Only downside was that there was a lack of entertainment at the resort. Would also recommend anyone staying to get all inclusive as lunch and dinner was quite expensive.

Fantastic stay, couldn't have asked for more. Excellent villa with the perks of hotels. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming in ensuring our stay was very memorable. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. With limited vegetarian options in some restaurants, they were very flexible in providing other choices for us (especially chef Harjit at Zafarani). I'd like to thank Dhanraj Pateetroy (Front Office Manager) for his help in arranging things before we got here via a regular exchange of emails and Melanie (Front Office Officer) for her ongoing support during our vacation. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. If you're vegetarian, then the half board option isn't suitable as you're limited to a few restaurants which don't have that much choice for vegetarians. We originally booked half-board but then had to cancel and re-book as villa only when we were notified of the restaurant restrictions. We ate at the restaurants every evening but ended up having breakfast at the villa as the breakfast options were very limited for vegetarians but cost over £20 each.

We (husband and I) recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel in Mauritius. If you're considering this hotel primarily for its food and water sports, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Unfortunately, both aspects were a letdown during my visit. The food was mediocre at best, failing to meet the high expectations I had. I was hoping for a variation of delicious local and international flavors and dishes, but what I experienced was less than satisfactory. Similarly, the water sports were underwhelming. I attempted water activities on two separate occasions, and both times the offerings failed to impress. It felt like the experiences didn't quite live up to the excitement promised. However, if your focus is on beautiful scenic views, a relaxed atmosphere, and some tranquil moments, then the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel is definitely worth considering. The serene environment and breathtaking vistas make it an ideal spot for unwinding and enjoying the natural beauty of Mauritius. Overall, I would rate my experience at the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel three stars. It's a lovely place to relax, but not the best choice if you're looking for great food or thrilling water sports.
