We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay at the Lux. The very pleasant, friendly and efficient welcome by Andrei set a high standard which was maintained. We loved the setting of the hotel around a beautiful garden with gazebo and fish pond, just behind the beach. Breakfast offered a very enjoyable wide range of cold and hot food, served in The Kitchen, the attractive main restaurant where evening buffets are also served, which we chose three times. The three a la carte restaurants offer impressively attentive service and generally excellent food. One limitation of the situation on the windy east coast is that setting tables outside is not feasible. A highlight of our stay was the exciting Sega show, which lasted an hour and where all the musicians, dancers and male vocalists seemed to be enjoying bringing us into the spirit of Mauritian culture. An Indian sitar / table performance was also given on another evening. It has been said that the Lux caters for young families, which is certainly true. As a mature couple we have no problem with young children, but it was unfortunate that too many parents allowed, perhaps even condoned, their little ones wandering around amongst the performers and equipment. The hotel staff should perhaps consider firmer guidelines on this. The appeal to children was also evident at the pool, most of which was too shallow for adult swimming. Overall though we loved the Lux and it ensured that our holiday in Mauritius will be memorable.

We just returned from a 10 day holiday at Lux Belle Mare. We found it was one of our best holidays ever. The rooms were very spacious, always clean with lovely views. The layout of the hotel was was superb and right on the beach. The hotel and gardens were lovely and spacious and it never felt crowded, in fact it was very peaceful. No loud music at the pool either which you may find in other hotels. It was well catered for couples and families. Staff were excellent, very attentive, food was plentiful and very tasty and fresh and very well presented, we could not fault it. They had a spa and gym which was small but good, yoga lessons and free water activities if you are on All inclusive. Being on All inclusive is well worth it as the prices are quite expensive if you had to pay everything separately, we booked half board first but then changed before our trip and were really glad we did. Nothing was ever too much for the hotel staff, we just needed to ask. We were sad to leave!

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.
