We were incredibly lucky to stay at the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel as one of the first guests just a couple weeks after opening.We fell in love with the design and atmosphere the moment we walked in. A true highlight are the members of staff - every single person we met (reception, restaurant, bar, management, spa, room service) was kind, friendly, and just made us feel so welcome. Shoutout to the head butler Lekraj who always checked in on us and gave us some great recommendations of places to see across the island. The spa is great and the massages were so relaxing - the infusion/tea after are a great touch. We originally meant to only stay in the hotel for three nights, but missed it so much that we came back for our last two nights on the island - best decision! We spent the last night having a romantic dinner with a special menu and then stayed at the bar for a bit longer and mixed our own cocktails with some help with the guys from the bar (thank you again, that was such a fun end to our holiday!).
The suites are huge and beautifully decorated, equipped with everything you need. Some suites have a bathtub, a jacuzzi or even your own outside pool. The rooms were always impeccably clean and we just loved everything about them. The houskeeping staff made sure the rooms were always neat and tidy and done a great job of looking after the rooms.
We loved the north for the different activities that were all close by - the botanical gardens, the sugar factory, the Cap Malheuruex church. There are also many beautiful beaches nearby where you can relax and snorkel - we even saw some turtles! The hotel itself offers kayaking, snorkeling and a tour to see the northern islands (for extra charge). Just laying by the beach at the hotel and enjoying the beautiful view of the islands in the distance was also a relaxing way to spend the day.
We had half board booked for our stay. Breakfast is a buffet with everything you could ask for plus a pancake station and some local dishes to sample which we really enjoyed. Additionally, you can order fresh coffees,teas and some egg dishes. Dinner is a three course menu which we looked forward to every night. The chefs cater to your personal preferences and take intolerances into consideration - they will make sure you have great dinner!
When we come back to Mauritius, we will definitely be staying here again and recommend it to anyone who wants to treat themselves to a truly special holiday. Thank you so much!

Magical experience a superb setting spacious rooms with everything to be well installed We performed a massage at the Spa instant privileged as an extra couple. When at the meal we had a board breakfast and dinner the chef feasts us every night of his delicious dishes the incredible breakfast there is nothing missing ❤️ But all this is nothing without the welcome and extraordinary attention that all the different poles pay you the reception: always smiling in good moods, happy to introduce you to the beauties of their island that they love so much. Cleaning rooms: you always have a smile that comes knocking on your door in the morning with a special attention to the service that is provided. The service: then it is a real pleasure to be welcomed by these teams morning and evening with little care with us attentive to the slightest request and especially last night we had the surprise of dining on the beach installed especially for us a big thank you to Vinai and Lando who regaled us last night with the delights of the chef👨🍳 In short all this is beautifully orchestrated by an exceptional director thank you very much to all for a wonderful stay 😍on is not about to forget you Sandrine 💋

One of the first guests into this lovely boutique hotel. Top notch facilities and Spa. Comfy sunbeds laid out around a small beautiful pool and along white sand beach which is on a shallow part of the lagoon. Food is good to very good, as a new establishment, there were a few small issues kitchen wise but staff are superb and want clients to have the best time so only going to head into the excellent on the food front I’m sure.
Rooms and other facilities are excellent. As good as anything I have seen anywhere else in comparable destinations. Beds are extremely comfortable. Housekeeping is excellent. Rooms are huge, we had a senior suite which beautifully laid out and huge with an integral jacuzzi. The Junior suites are their smallest rooms and they are still huge and beautiful places to be. We had a nose around at the suite with a pool but for us the Senior was the pick as we had a good view onto the middle garden.
Nearly all your staff were excellent, friendly with genuine smiles who seem very happy to help. Some stand out staff who deserve a special mention who gave exceptional customer service: Head butler - Leckraj, always friendly, helpful and super professional. Reception - Vimi, excellent service with a lovely smile. Restaurant - Dillan, who put up with my 7am requests for coffee for me to take to my wife in bed with a genuine smile. Finally Sylvana who was so lovely every time she served us, so enthusiastic about Mauritian food, she is a huge asset.
Excellent Breakfast. Cold selection is good with lovely fresh bread and pastries and high quality cheeses, fruit, meats, pancakes and waffles. Hot choice also excellent with usual selection of hot options including Eggs Benedict, Florentine and Royale. Also excellent Omelettes. Excellent service every day.
Dinner is full al la carte taken on a beautiful covered area overlooking the lagoon. There are supplements payable for some items if on half board. Difficult to relate supplement cost to actual value of item sometimes but there is a reasonable choice without having to go to the supplement items. Dinner is overall good and we could see steady improvement towards excellent as the 10 days went on.
Our last meal on Friday night was perfection and the curry lunch on our last day was utterly superb as was the numerous sides to the curries. Sylvana our incredibly helpful and friendly server asked the chef to make it Mauritian style (and spice) and it was the best thing we have eaten all week, everything I wanted your food to be. If you stay at this level you will have happy customers.
Overall would happily recommend Sea Diamond, it’s early days but you can see it’s going to be one of those special places.

This newly opened hotel is truly a dream. Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed. After the welcome drink and check-in, the hotel manager showed us the entire facility, as well as our room. The sea views with the infinity pool are really impressive. The rooms lack nothing, they are really more than spacious and very nicely decorated. All staff at the hotel are extremely friendly, attentive and very accommodating. At the boathouse we also booked a "3 Island" tour with Octavio and that was really a unique experience.

I start with the biggest strength of the Pension, its staff, who were so caring with us whether it was at the reception, the restaurant, the cleaning agents or others there is nothing to say, they are an amazing team always ready to spoil us and give us nice little surprises. The manager and the people in charge were approachable and attentive, they took the time to talk to us to see if everything was going well.
We were able to enjoy the SPA as a couple, a moment of pure relaxation.
Breakfast was excellent, you can see directly that everything was fresh with countless sweet/savory choices. Dinner was also very good, we were half board, which is just a shame, it was necessary to pay a bottle of still water to accompany the meal, it would have been better to have at least one bottle of water included in the formula...
We had a problem with our flight, the Pension, it was felt concerned and it is arranged so that our Check-out goes as simple and as well as possible, already this is a gesture that we will never forget.
We keep a very good memory, thank you all 🫶🏼

A very nice team at the reception! Especially Yona, Vini, Raj and Karen were very nice and always helpful! The room deserved 5 stars, everything was clean and well maintained. The food was very delicious and beautifully prepared, just sometimes a little bit and the choice limited. Kayaks, swimming shoes, snorkeling and fins could be rented easily and especially to go kayaking the lagoon is very nice. For swimming it is partly very shallow, but there is also the pool. The bikes (mountain bikes) were quite new and well cushioned, but relatively small and only mediocrely well maintained - we still rode them almost 40 km (to Cap Malheureux and Grand Baie). From the hotel you can easily take boat trips to the islands or swim with dolphins, for example with Octavio. The massage was very good. Overall, the facility is very nice and it was a very quiet and relaxing stay.

Great hotel on a beautiful beach ! Highly recommended for couples who want a higher standard. Incredibly friendly staff who read every wish from your lips even at breakfast and dinner. Of particular note is dinner - a great a la carte menu, which is served every evening. The hotel also coordinates great day trips - if you wish.

Ein wunderschöner Ort um sich zu erholen und zu genießen. Sehr zuvorkommende und freundliche Angestellte (extrem kinderfreundlich) machen es zu einem ganz besonderen Hotel. Ausgezeichnetes Essen, phänomenale Dessert und spitzen Cocktails in entspanntem Ambiente. Tolle und qualitativ hochwertige Zimmer mit super Zimmerservice lassen keine Wünsche offen. Ich würde sagen, dass es vom gesamt Paket das schönste Hotel ist, indem ich je gewesen bin und ich war schon in sehr vielen Hotels auf der Welt.
