First impressions we were very pleased and greeted with a welcome drink, unfortunately not to our taste. It was lovely to be able to check in straight away (9/10am), we couldn’t get to grips though why they wanted us to leave a €250 deposit for drinks etc. because we were all inclusive, so we said we’ll pay as we go and didn’t do this. All Inclusive does NOT mean everything is. The buffet restaurant is but the Plantation restaurant has a limited menu, not everything is included, so be prepared you might have to pay extra. The drinks and cocktails are not all inclusive, if the menu has one star by the named drink it is NOT included, if it has two stars by the named it is included, there is a lot of choice so it wasn’t a problem for us. In the room, if the items have one star on the menu it is included, the rest you have to pay for. The minibar was restocked most days, local beer and coke included. We were given plenty of water in the room every day which was a lovely touch. Room 155 was lovely, it was ground floor ( which we requested) facing the ocean, amazing views. Good size, lovely big bed, sitting area, tea & coffee making facilities, large bathroom, shower, bath and separate dressing room with plenty of hanging space and a safe. The room was generally clean, we found green broken glass, we had a butler who looked after our every need, he came in the evening, which was very nice but a bit intrusive, we didn’t really need him , but it was nice to have your bed sorted and fresh towels again, twice a day wasn’t really necessary. Pre dinner drinks at the bar were lovely, the bar staff were great and attentive, you often got a little nibble with your drinks. The Buffet Breakfast was nice , everything you could think of, but the eggs cooked to your choice weren’t great, other than the boiled eggs, plenty to choose from. Dinner Buffet, there was a lot of choice but nothing was hot, veg was over cooked, there were grilled meats or stir fry, fish but not always appetising, two nights we had some bbq prawns, chicken or beef which were tasty. Two nights we didn’t go to dinner because we couldn’t face the buffet. Lots of little desserts on offer and ice cream. The wine choice was very good, best we’ve had on holiday. We had lovely lunches at the plantation restaurant, included. We found it very difficult to get drinks at the beach and pool area, but the staff were great once we did catch there eye , the beach staff were great helping us with umbrellas & towels. Beach was lovely, we wore sea shoes , there was sharp coral, beautiful sea breeze. Twice a day there is a glass bottom boat trip you can do for free. All the staff were great and deserved their tip. Evening entertainment was nice , piano music, all singers were good , but had enough after two weeks, we enjoyed the two nights entertainment with the Mauritian dancers.
