Mauritius was our first trip to the Southern Hemisphere and there was no shortage of great southern hospitality at Le Touessrok, a five-star resort on the east coast. October was a perfect month to visit this subtropical island; there were no insects, nor humidity or rain, and nighttime and daytime temperatures hovered between 20-22C. This was a golfing vacation and it was perfect golf weather. We took the boat daily across the calm, mangrove-lined, lagoon to the island (Ile Aux Cerfs) to golf. Black lava rock at some of the tee boxes reminded us of the volcanic origins of this century old island, while many other holes had picture-perfect ocean views. We also jettied over to the hotel's private island for a quiet lunch on the beach. Stepping off the pier we are greeted by two of the hotel's staff who quickly clean our sunglasses from the sea spray. It was a nice 5-star touch. Our jr. suite was a good size and located on the sheltered side of the building, protecting our balcony from the prevailing south easterly winds. The buffet's international cuisine was excellent. The chef at the pasta station customized my order on request changing the creamy sauce to a simpler oil and garlic and chili peppers. From day one, the staff greeted us as though they knew us, speaking in our preferred language (my husband also speaks French and staff are fluent in both.) We had a fruit bowl on arrival, nightly sweets at turndown, and swan-shaped towels were on our bed the last evening.
