I happened to have to stay there at the beginning of September for business, but luckily enough my wife had a few days of vacation and she was able to join as I don't think you visit the Maritius every other day! The Mauritius is a very hospital island with very friendly people, so definitely one of the best destinations for a nice and relaxing vacation. The hotel is located on the coast, so you are litterally on the beach with an breathe-taking view of the ocean. The only disadvantage is that the hotel is quite far from downtown and you could be jammed in traffic during rush hours so if you are planning to explore the city, this may not be your best choice. But if you are instead planning for a relaxing vacation, this is definitely the place to be!
Good choice of restaurants, very efficient service.

Just wanted to say what a wonderful stay we had at this top class hotel. Visually the hotel is very impressive, rooms are of a high standard and excellent size. Great choice of restaurants with their own unique style and flavour. Evening entertainment is done tastefully.....and my husband, daughter and I enjoyed watching the Indian, sega and Arabic dancing. The staff were all very attentive and couldn't be more helpful......thank you so much!!!!!There was so much space on the beach and sun loungers were a good distance apart. My 6yr old went to the kids club a couple of times and the staff were excellent with her. We truly had a wonderful stay here and would recommend it to anyone.x

Personally i consider this hotel as one of The best hotesl where i've been in my life. The location is fantistic like a paradise, the service is great. Mr. Raj take care of us in every moment helping us organizing our day by day. The restaurant Segala is great and with my wife was fantastic to have a romantic dinner in front of The sea. All was defined taking care of every detail. The ocean view room with jacuzzi was perfect with a lor of services, space and very clean. And if you like diving please don't miss this place. Joahn& Hans are very well prepared instructors and really funny. At The end if you Will go to Mairitius please don't miss Intercontinental!

The Intercontinental Resort Balaclava was an amazing experience. We when there on our Honeymoon & were over whelmed with the location, the staff, the room & the food. The ocean view was amazing ... as soon as we stepped out off our room we were on the beach ... the house keeping staff were excellent & very prompt with room service, the food was amazing if you were a non - vegetarian & the property of the hotel was spectacular ... we spent 6 days & had a blast ... great place to vacation at ... Can't wait to go there again :)
