After reading the previous reviews about this hotel I wasn't expecting much. But actually, I was blown away by the hotel. We had a beautiful room that opened onto a small swimming pool that was shared with 5 or 6 other rooms. The garden areas are really well cared for. The hotel has its own but of private beach. The breakfast buffet was of a really high calibre. We are in the restaurant on two evenings, and the food was amazing. The hotel has its own boat service where they will take you out for snorkel trips, or water skiing. Twice a week they have a glass bottom boat. Would definitely recommend this hotel, and if I return to Mauritius, would stay there again.

Lovely location. The rooms and facilities are run down, need a lot of refurb and maintenance. Staff need better customer service skills.

Good value at a reasonable cost

Posted 10 May 2023 on Hotels
Ocean Villas is a simple family budget hotel and, as such, provides good value for money. The initial welcome was a little cool, but the front desk got warmer, and a few issues we had with the room were solved well and fairly promptly. We were early and our room was not ready, but it was ready right at the official check-in time. The front desk was flexible and helpful with a late check out time. The complex has a tired feel to it and is in need of some TLC - a roof scrub and bit of whitewash on all the outside walls would help the external appeal greatly. Our room, billed as renovated/contemporary, was nice but a bit tired - quite spacious and with a good-sized bathroom. The hotel has natural, simple, well-kept gardens and it lies directly on a very pleasant small and quite private beach with great views of the Bay and with some water-based activities. We had the evening buffet several times, and they were all very good - reasonably wide choice, well cooked, varied and tasty. The breakfast buffet was also varied and decent. Our one a la carte evening was disappointing, the food mediocre and the service slow (no desserts delivered to anyone until the entire restaurant had finished the main course).The evening entertainment was not always to our taste, but it was nice to have it provided and the guests seemed to enjoy it. The piped music during the day was good (lots of well-known international songs, locally recorded and to a fine reggae rhythm.

Great water front views, really appreciated the free boating activities. Food was good and location was within range. Yet place needs a definite update and repair.

The last thing you want to do when you arrive at a hotel is to fill in an on-line check-in, particularly when you are a foreigner who has no internet. It takes forever to accomplish. Much easier to hand over your passport for photocopying. Our room was nice and quiet with a lovely pool view. The bathroom spacious with a bath and a shower. Unfortunately, 2 days of our stay we were without hot water and had to use an inferior bathroom at the other end of the complex. Windows in our room needed a good cleaning. We took advantage of the glass-bottomed boat trip which we enjoyed. It was too windy to sit on the beach while we were there but we swam in the pool. Vegetarian food was great the first night with a good choice. The second night was a great disappointment. Very little was on offer. For about £24 it was a waste of money and that was without drinks. Despite notices warning of stray cats and dogs, people were still feeding them and the cats were a real problem begging at the tables in the restaurant. Very safe on-site parking.
