"The east coast was windy this time of year that made it slightly too cold at times when the sun was behind clouds.

The island is really picturesque and has a good balance of relaxation and sight seeing."

Another great reason for booking with Holidayplease. "
"loved it"
"Mauritius is a stunning island, with an amazing landscape and many interesting places to visit. We found the Mauritian people to be very welcoming and friendly."
"beautiful country, scenery was amazing."
"Mauritius hasnt got the 'wow' factor. Countryside is all sugar plantations"
"Did not go out of the hotel except to go diving which was not bad but not as good as the Maldives."
"Around the hotel and beach area's it was paradise as you would expect. But go into towm or inland and you realise how poor alot of people are. Everyone was really friendly though."
"People very warm and friendly. Service brilliant - overall excellent. Golf very good and water sports. Overall no complaints - apart from the travel. "
"Signage on roads was dreadful - very difficult to find places."
"Saw most of the Island on trips from the hotel. Standard of living poor but not as bad as Sri Lanka who we compared it with."
"Excellant hotel - made up fpr the weather."
"Kenya & Mauritius were great as the locals were lovely. Mauritius did seem a little like just another beach holiday but again it was still great to visit. "
"Different to what I expected. Thought it would be a more humid climate. The people were generaly friendly outside the resort but I was surprised at the amount of poverty. The taxi drivers were eager for your business but there service was generally good."

"friendly people-country felt safe"
"the hotel was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean, the food was lovely in the a la carte resturant, we only ate at the buffett resturant twice but did not like it so much as there wasnt a lot of things we liked. There was evening entertainment every night. It was a nice and relaxing holiday and would go again"
"Laid back, nice people. Restaurant close at 2230, and take aways, like Mcdonalds close by 2100. Flight was long and probably the worst part by far."
"Loved everything about Mauritius"
"Beautiful country"
"Would recommend the Dinarobin Hotel - it was exceptional!"

"enviable"

"There is so much to do in Mauritius, it is the perfect combination of a beach holiday with lots of sightseeing, under-sea walking, shopping, culture, dolphin watching and a whole range of water sports!"
"We stayed all inclusive - but not at one of the 'exclusive' resorts. The staff treated their guests like family and were helpful, but not intrusive. Balcony faced away from the sun and it would have been nice to have a quiet couple of hours at the end of the day sitting out there with a cold drink and a book - that was our only 'slightly downside'. We loved it!"
"Both very safe and welcoming"
"We had a fantastic time in a lovely hotel and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We attended a friend's wedding which took place on the beach and was extremely romantic. Mauritius is definitely a place to recommend!"
