We staid at LUX belle mare in November with our 16 months daughter. We had a really good time - this place is great if you are with a child - however I don't think I would considered it as a couple or adult only holiday. Mauritius is very child friendly and so it's LUX belle mare. They have highchairs, children menu, both pool and beach are great for little ones. We asked for one of the pool rooms so that we could still enjoy the pool while little one was napping by using the monitor - it worked really well, but be aware that 1. it can be noisy at night due to the music been played in the main bar and 2. monitor signal wasn't great (and we have a very good monitor!) so you need one of the ground floor - closest to the pool room in order to be able to do so.
Food is good, but in the main buffet restaurant can get very monotonous - we tried the other restaurants as well, but it's hard to sit down for dinner with a toddler so ended up at the buffet one most of the time. Drinks and food are expensive - probably all inclusive is a good idea - we didn't because with a toddler the chance of spending time drinking cocktails by the pool is not that big and we are not big drinkers anyway.
Rooms are nice and quite spacious but not amazing - but you end up spending so much time outdoor anyway.
Service is great, everybody makes a real effort to make it special - from restaurant staff to the reception. The only thing we notice is that they are quite disorganized - sometimes lunch took forever, they couldn't find a bottle of wine we had opened but not finished the night before (they told us we could leave it to the restaurant but then they couldn't locate it - mind you they did offer another glass as an apology), they told us under 3 years old don't pay for meal but then we found it on our final bill (they amended when I noticed) somebody told us bottle sterilizer was for free, somebody else said we had to pay etc.. But all minor things.

Myself and my fiancé stayed for 10 nights in lux belle mare and we were extremely impressed by the service, staff, food, entertainment and organisation of this resort! I have no negatives whatsoever to relay on this place and will be returning very soon for another few days of relaxation. We had one of the junior suites overlooking the beach and had all the amnities supplied by any 4 star hotel. The housekeeping staff were exceptional and a turn down service was provided everynight. The staff were very happy to help you with any issue and made it seem like nothing was too much trouble! The food was amazing and I have tasted dishes that were the best I have ever eaten! There are 3 restaurants and 1 buffet area and it is recommended you try all 4! Also room service is exceptional with the best cutlery, lay out and options. You'll be spoiled for choice!! The pool and gardens were very well maintained by staff and the ice cream that was freshly made everyday and provided pool side made you feel very indulgent!! The bar overlooked the pool so very easy to spend the day there while sunning and going into the sea/pool. Everything is very close together so no walking great distances to get to the apartment/pool/reception/restaurants/bar or beach! Excellent holiday, excellent staff and definetly a repeat is in order.

We have just got back from our 2 week stay at the Lux Belle Mare and wanted to recommend this hotel.

We traveled with our 2 children aged 3 and 7 months and can honestly say that this hotel exceeded all of our expectations in every way. The hotel is situated on a stunning beach, which is easily accessible from the accomodation. The facilities are exceptional and it was the first hotel that we have stayed at where the water sports were included. The swimming pool is large and ideal for a young families, as there is a very big shallow area and plenty of seating around the pool. We never had a problem getting a seat and there was always someone there to put towels out and assist.

One of the highlights for us was the kids club, which is open from morning to night and our 3 year old used to run there straight after his breakfast. There was always fun activities for him to participate in from pizza making, to trips on a glass bottom boat and rock pooling. The food was fabulous, as we went half board we could eat at any of the 4 restaurants and the quality and variety was always of an excellent standard.

Everything seems to have been thought of, from an old fashioned ice cream hut by the pool serving the most delicious home made ice creams to roasting their own coffee on site, the little details made the holiday that extra special.

The best thing we can say about this hotel is the staff who go out of their way to ensure that you have an incredible time. The staff really do care about their guests and not only are they friendly but go the extra mile. We would particularly like to thank, the Regional General Manger Pascal , the Hotel General Manager Ashish both of home ensured our family were looked after at all times. Also we would like to thank The Head Housekeeper Suren and Dave at the Kitchen who was a pleasure to see every morning. Thanks also to Chenan who always had smile on his face and was such a help. Also we wanted to mention Chica at the bar.

Our last day here, we are sad to leave this island paradise. It isn't enough that this island is so beautiful, the hospitaly of this hotel is priceless. Everything is so easy, the staff are so helpful and accommodating. The restaurants have excellent food, and they cater to everything you need. We have not heard a "sorry" because they simply don't need to say that word. My 10 year old daughter summed it up best "Mommy I wanna come here to get married!" Thank you Lux Belle Mare for making it special, form your kiddie club, to your numerous complimentary water sports, to your lovely food, to your gorgeous beaches, and your wonderful staff
