“Divine wedding anniversary”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

My husband and I decided to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary at Angsana hotel, located on Mauritius island. It was the best choice, since everything was even greater than we imagined... We enjoyed our Spa Suite on the second floor, with a magnificent view of the ocean and we had couple massage every day(included in price)!! The beach and pool area were really fantastic and all the hotel stuff where absolutely everywhere, ready and willing to help us enjoy our time! It really felt like Paradise!!!!

“Superb stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Wonderful hotel with a great view. Stayed in a garden suite which was lovely. Had a nice balcony and lovely beds. The service is great, especially in the restaurant. Nice food overall, however limited wine menue and prices for drinks are expensive.
Spa treatments are fantastic, a real treat.
Nice pools, and wonderful sunbeds. However the beach is small, and with lots of stones.
Can rent kayaks etc free from their boathouse. Location is quiet, and you need a car to go somewhere.
Wish we may come back!!

“Lovely time at Angsana”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Husband and I stayed at Angsana Balaclava in January for 9 nights. It was our honeymoon. We had an amazing time there! The resort is small which meant service was more personable. The staff was absolutely amazing! All so friendly and by the 2nd and 3rd day, most of them knew us and would always talk to us and ask if everything was good. Oliver was brilliant throughout our stay...so nice to talk to and really helpful. Nas was also very helpful. From the restaurant, everyone was good but we had more of a relationship built with Ashwin and Atish, who were wonderful. From the gym, Raposh and Jean Pierre really helped my husband with training! All great guys! They all went above and beyond.

The food was great too. They had a different menu everyday with great selections. We had a beachfront suite and it was great! The only problem it had was that our washroom would sometimes smell of moisture.

One thing that we were disappointed about was that we had emailed Angsana Balaclava a month in advance asking them to reserve the ground floor Beachfront suite for us as it was our honeymoon and we really wanted ground floor. However, upon our arrival we found out that that hadn't been done and we got the 1st floor. So that was a bit disappointing since we had asked so much in advance.

As an exclusive intimate boutique resort, Angsana Balaclava places an emphasis on the attention to details and it is fantastic to read that you enjoyed the personalised service, the food good, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the gym great. Being limited in the number of rooms we had at Angsana Balaclava Mauritius, we have tried to accommodate you and your husband as much as we can.

Your gracious comments have been passed to our personnel, which will serve as an added inspiration to consistently maintain the high standards you have experienced, and which are one of the trademarks of our brand. .

“"Pure Paradise"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived at Angsana as the entrance is on the road, however as soon as I arrived I knew it was going to be special. After a warm welcome and delicious drink later, I felt very much at home after visiting other properties.The service was excellent and Pascal, the Manager, is one of the best we came across during our time in Mauritius. Everything is as it should be here, the spa suites have their own plunge pool and the beach suites are large and spacious with their own little lap pool, Jacuzzi and outdoor terrace. The food is delicious, the pizza's were crispy and tasty, the best I have had. I love that there is a saltwater pool (with swim up bar) and freshwater pool. I hope to come back very soon, it was pure bliss.

“Worst holiday experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

This uncoordinated shambles of a hotel organised a trip on our last day which resulted in us missing our flight, the hotel have denied being responsible and the costs incurred we had to pay and suffered a 8 hour delay.
The hotel lied about organising the trip and have blamed me for the trip they organised??
ridiculous, i wouldn't wish this experience on my enemy , what an end to our honeymoon.
The hotel offered excursions which we found out were over priced and of poor quality.
Mauritus is a beautiful place.
The hotel had mosquitoes and after informing them they did little to correct it and the mosquitos remained with us for the entire holiday.
The food was good

Dear Valued Guest,

Thank you for choosing our resort for your recent stay and for taking the time to share your comments.

I take note that it is the second time you post the same comments.

The first time Trip Advisor removed your comments because it was judge unfair.

Regarding excursion taken outside the Hotel and we cannot be held responsible for the lateness of a third party excursion and the fact that you have missed your plane.

You have check-out of the hotel was early morning at 6.30 am and your plane was late afternoon. The Dolphin trip is done at Tamarin 1.15hour drive from the hotel and to go to the airport it only takes 1.15 hour drive from Tamarin allowing a 9 hours gap between the time you left the resort do the dolphin trip and go to the airport.

The Dolphin trip was booked for you with a third party and the Resort has no control on the activity in particular and its timing, like any other excursions.

If during the excursion you felt that the timing was tight it should have been liaised with the Dolphin trip company/person in charge/driver with you, to drop you off at the airport on time.

As an exclusive intimate boutique resort, Angsana Balaclava Mauritius places an emphasis on the attention to details, thus would like to express our disappointment due to the unfair nature of the comment.

We indeed maintain, having given all required information about timing, length of travel and sequence of trip.

We fumigate the Resort twice a week Monday and Friday and in every room the guests have available mosquitoes repellent to plug-in.

We would like to thank you once again for your comments as these will truly help us to monitor, and improve even further our Angsana services and facilities.

I trust you had a pleasant and safe journey home and look forward to welcoming you back for a chance to exceed your expectations to Angsana Balaclava Mauritius or to any of our other resorts worldwide.

Yours sincerely,
Pascal Prigent
