Warm welcome caring Family Members perfect service The Spa Attitude s unique body care and facials the seafood restaurant on the beach all contribute to the subtle luxury of this 3 stars sup.
Far from the hustle and bustle of certain beaches you will appreciate the calm and genuineness of this still unspoilted coast of Mauritius.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
This hotel is outstanding in so many ways. It's very much a 3 star hotel which is punching above it's weight in many areas, namely the location and the staff, which are both exceptional. It is a small hotel with a relaxed and non-pretentious vibe, the ideal place to relax and enjoy some of the best sunsets you will ever see.
The food is good and plentiful (especially the fruit at breakfast), and I would recommend booking the Kot Nou tapas restaurant upstairs (open Mon/Wed/Fri) which has a slightly classier and more intimate feel (but get in early, it's only small and quickly gets fully booked). The entertainment is low-key, apart from the Sega dancing where the guests are encouraged to get involved.
The rooms are fairly basic but had everything we needed, and the bed we found exceptionally comfortable. My only complaint about our particular room would be that although it faced the sea, we could barely see through the palm trees hanging right over our balcony which blocked the view (this was, however, a problem we could cope with)!
The biggest negative for us was the pool. From the outset we noticed that it was a cloudy green colour, and appeared to have a film of debris floating on it most of the time. We did notice attempts to clear it but it really just did not look pleasant so we were not tempted to go in, although other guests did use it. But as the beautiful crystal clear Indian Ocean with it's abundance of tropical fish it's literally a few paces away, why would you bother anyway?!
As long as you are happy with a warm welcome rather and simplicity rather than luxury, you will not regret coming here.
NB the Recif Attitude is closing for a refit in mid December, but anyone coming before then should not be put off, you're in for a treat.
I have been there many times and I usually go for day package as the spa is the best place for me. The spa ladies are so warm specially Jessica and Ritika.....they always welcome us with a smile. Mathieu at the reception so professional and yet friendly. Would miss this place. Wish all the best.
Great location-right on the beach, although nowhere to walk to in the evening. Rooms all facing the sea, could do with redecoration. Water pressure in shower very poor, also took water about 10 - 15 mins to become warm enough for a shower. Meals a bit better than your average hotel, upstairs restaurant very good, but same menu every time it was open. Initial welcome very good- cold flannel and drink, but we’re then kept waiting for about 20 mins before we were given a tour of the hotel and shown to our room. I would recommend having a car to get about the island.
We were at the hotel to celebrate my birthday. We enjoyed our stay with the spectacular view from the room that gives the Ocean. Liked the Dinner with the surprise Cake. Most of all, the lunch food was amazing along with the dessert. The staff were very helpful, caring and can make you feel that the Yes Attitude was there.
Recif Attitude is nicely located so all resort rooms have a garden/ beach view with beach access as well. The staff is very accommodating and helpful and look for ways to make the stay experience exceptional. The manager of the resort in Dec 2017 when I visited was Sanjeev who was incredibly helpful and gave us a free room upgrade when we did not like the room that we were assigned. The spa services and food was also very nice. A must visit, I will stay here again whenever I visit Mauritius again.
