This was my first experience at a Four Seasons and I'm afraid I will never be able to stay at another hotel brand. Prior to arrival I was contacted by my 'experience assistant' Pooja who offered to plan airport transfers and any activities prior to arrival. She then greeted me upon arrival at the hotel and popped in about once a day to see if I needed anything (while I did not take advantage of this service, because I just wanted to lounge at the resort, I can imagine she would be able to make anything happen that you wanted). I stayed in an Ocean Villa which I think was absolutely the right choice since the beach villas did open directly onto the main beach where everyone sits out during the day. This way I could relax with complete privacy and have a great view of the water. The staff also noticed it was my birthday the week prior and left a birthday cake in my room upon arrival - very nice touch. The room was spectacular with great amenities and a very large closet and patio area to enjoy a meal on. The plunge pool was not heated and did not did get direct sun so was too cold to go in although I would imagine at a warmer time of year it would be very refreshing. Beach and pool were lovely and the service was great - not too intrusive but always available as soon as you needed something. The service at the bar was also excellent. I was traveling alone and it was nice the bartenders were will to have a chat (or not - they read people well) and the bar manager was always willing to make a special cocktail or offer up some house made rums (must try the passion fruit and the rosemary!). The food was equally excellent. I ate most of my dinners at Beauchamp and Acquapazza as I didn't care for the menu at Bamboo. Every meal was wonderful and being on half board I really felt like I was getting a great value. Lunch at Bamboo was also a good selection of sandwiches and sushi. Purchased a package from the spa that gave me time (3.5 hours of treatments) vs. a specific set of treatments. Definitely they way to go as I did one of the island rituals and then got a mani/pedi and a haircut with the rest of my time. I have to say this resort has ruined it for all others with the excellent service and wonderful food. Would recommend to anyone.

In a nutshell , you could spend hours and days to find a negative point on this resort and you will never find one!
It has been a flawless stay from A to Z. Great rooms, great resort, great landscape, great F&B , great staff PLUS the advantage of having an Ernie Els designed Golf course.
For large families, there are 2/3 and even 6 bedroom villas!
Sports, SPA, large spaces,....What else can anyone needs?
I strongly recommend this resort for anyone looking to enjoy a unique luxury resort in a friendly and lovely island. Couple or Family!

This is what you come to expect from the Four Seasons brand of hotels – excellent.

The Beach Villa's were lovely, with views out over the sea, accessed directly from the private garden in front of the villa, which also had a private plunge pool and outdoor showers – very peaceful and luxurious.

The restaurants were all very good, although the food sometimes came too quickly in the evening making you feel a little rushed. (We asked the staff to slow down – which they did).

Many of the water activities were included in the price, so there is plenty to keep everyone occupied.

Spa facilities superb with views out over the mangroves.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. It is the sort luxurious place you imagine when you think of Mauritius.

Grab those few days between the end of school and Christmas before the hotel rates go up and luxuriate in your own villa, drop the kids at the kids club and the teenagers at their separate club too, take in a four hand massage, or organise when the kids are free, a hobie cat race around the sea-lake (hire is free), or take the teens that have PADI off to the scuba sites (not free!). Let them cycle round the resort, to tennis lessons (extra), or the gym (teens allowed, nothing extra) and even if it is raining (and it was, its tropical storm time, but it comes and goes) there is still loads to do. We set up a cinema in the villa with a projector, inside or out. We let the kids paddle board around the resort, knowing they were safe. Excellent tailor on site. Golf all over but we don't. Food not cheap and there isn't anywhere else to go easily, even if u hire a car. Load up at breakfast!
