We stayed at Ocean Villas for 2 weeks and got married on the private beach in June 05. Since this was our first time in Mauritius, we were not sure how to go about with the wedding arrangements and all... but thanks to Alexandra and her team, the wedding itself went very smoothly. It was absolutely stress free. The flowers on the wedding arch were absolutely gorgeous, and guess what, we had the beach to ourselves on our wedding day!

Mom, Dad, Tracy and Troy came for the wedding and they stayed in a duplex villa, and we stayed in the honeymoon suite, called the Love Nest (the best one on the beach!!)...

Honestly, I would recommend anyone getting married in Mauritius to book at Ocean Villas - good price, very clean, spacious, without the 'crowd' when you stay in hotels.

very nice and clean hotel with a private little beach. Location is just perfect, about 10 minutes taxi drive from center of grand baie.
Staff were very helpful and very kind. Double rooms are small and cosy with a/c , bungalows big and spacey with basic furniture.

Perfect for familys due to the pool and beach, were the water in the bay is tranquil at all times. If you want a nice hotel for good value, you should definetly stay here.

I have been to Ocean Villas with my husband and 3-yr old kid last January, on bed and breakfast basis, in a duplex villa. Spacious and comfortable house. Maid service very good. Overall, it has been a very enriching holiday experience - great service and the staff is absolutely fantastic - they know us by name!

Everyday we were woken up by the sound of chirping colourful birds in the lush tropical gardens. On-request babysitting facilities for little Fiona have been very convenient during my holidays, especially when my husband and I booked for a candle-lit dinner on the private beach for our wedding anniversary.

In my opinion, Ocean Villas is ideal for families and young couples, who are looking for a quiet and peaceful spot in the busy village of Grand Bay. Good location - all within walking distance, and bus stops to and from centre of Grand Bay are very near.

Ocean Villas are located about a 25 minute walk (5 mins by car) from Grand Baie. The complex consists of 18 3 and 4 bed bungalows and 6 apartments. It is small, friendly, clean, comfortable and the staff are superb. Very welcoming and they remembered our names from the first day.

Our 3 bed bungalow had a split level lounge/dining area, adequately equipped kitchen and toilet/shower room on the ground floor. On the 1st floor were 3 bedrooms (2 x doubles, 1 x twin) and the bathroom with toilet, basin and shower. There was a table and chairs out on the patio, and the 2 double rooms had balconies. Aircon is available in the main bedroom at a supplement.

The complex has a small swimming pool, bar serving breakfast, snacks all day plus buffets every evening. There is access to a small private beach.

Staff on reception are happy to arrange excursions for you. We went on several which cost 1500 Rupees for the day for the 2 of us. There was a sort of set route, and a taxi took us around, so we could spend as much time as we wanted at each place, and didn't have to wait around for other people when we'd seen what we wanted to. They will also arrange airport transfers for you.

Some of the bungalows are looking slightly tatty at the moment (e.g. paint on window frames peeling) and I would class it as budget but it certainly only costs a fraction of Mauritius hotel prices and if you're going to see the island, how much time do you spend there anyway? You can book direct on their website (----------------) or some of the holiday sites do deals as well.

If you're looking to visit Mauritius and don't want to spend a fortune, Ocean Villas are definitely worth a visit. They are also building a new, more exclusive complex in Perebere although don't know when it is due to open.
