Tu alojamiento en Grand Baie

A good location. Close to nightlife , restaurants, and a couple of public beaches that have street food. We had a good-sized bedroom and bathroom on the 1st floor. Dressing gowns and slippers provided. Hotel looks nice, with a small infinity pool. It has a 2nd bar to the main part of the hotel where acoustic music was played in the evening with a small seating area. It has a raised area where there are sunbeds. There are steps down to the sea. These are a bit rough under foot. I think this could be improved. A mix of families, couples, and older clients. I would describe it as a peaceful, quiet hotel. There is a nightclub next door which has music until 1 am, I think. So if you have children, ask to go the other side of the hotel. We were bed and breakfast. First couple of days, the breakfast was good. Then we found that if we arrived about 9am, the fruit bowls and juice dispensers were empty. The staff had to be asked to replenish these each day. Also, most days, I had to ask for cutlery, serviettes, salt, and pepper. Younger restaurant staff chatting amongst themselves and not customer focused. Some bar staff also were not helpful. Mostly, the general staff were friendly and polite. It's a shame as it wouldn't take much to improve the customer experience. This hotel was too quiet for me in the evenings and we only had dinner here twice. With both times having a good selection from the buffet. There are some good restaurants in the town and some bars and clubs if you want a dance. Plenty of taxis at night in the main area, or restaurants will call you a cab. Agree a price before you get in as prices seemed to vary quite a bit.

You need to manage your expectations when you book a stay at Ocean Villas. You might have watched their fancy YouTube video but it's not reality. You'll also see videos from past guests. And it's fair to say that these videos show the icing on the cake and core ingredients. If you saw a married couple from South Africa touring the hotel, be warned that they've shown the best parts. It's a 3 star establishment. And that means you're going to have to put up with a property that was built circa 1980s. There were signs of wear and tear everywhere. As you walk through the front door, some parts of the villas needed a bit of filler and a lick of paint. Some of the furniture had seen better days and our shower door leaked every time we took a shower. But the villa was clean. The beds were comfortable and our villa had amenities that you wouldn't expect. A safe, hair dryer and a microwave was available. A bottle of mineral water (Crystal) was also provided on arrival and parking outside the villas was convenient. As for the grounds, the gardens are kept well. It's not going to blow you away but again it's 3 star. The swimming pool didn't look as clean as we'd like. We opted not to go for a dip. The cushions on the seats were covered in stains. Not great. The beach was decent. The view out to the bay was great. You can swim but when we stayed, the sea was choppy but that's not the hotel's problem. What's great about Oceans Villa is its location. You're only 5 minutes away in a car from the best public beaches. Namely Trou aux Biches, Mon Choisy, Pereybere and La Cuvette. So you're spoilt for choice. We'd like to praise the service at the hotel. The kitchen staff and serving staff were accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment in the evening was particularly good, and you'll certainly be tapping your toes and most likely dancing. Lastly the food. There's a good selection of food but too much MSG added to it. Every morning, we woke up to that awful salty taste on our tongues. So as you can gather there's some good parts to Oceans Villas but you're going to have to put up with some bad parts. if you're on a budget and happy to stay in a 3 star establishment where you can experience the beaches in the North, it's a good place to stay. Would we stay there again? I'd most likely opt for a self catering apartment. We felt for the money, we'd get better quality of facilities but then again we'd have to prepare our food.

Las habitaciones son geniales, especialmente la cocina totalmente equipada, que es mejor que los apartamentos de hotel en Europa, Australia y América del Sur. Es especialmente adecuado para la cocina china. El supermercado está al lado. Hay tofu, pimienta, mariscos y carnes. Estos ingredientes son super buenos. Se siente como un niño, se siente genial. La gente aquí es relativamente próspera, la gente vive una vida tranquila, la gente común juega al fútbol junto a ellos, nada y charla junto al mar. El clima es muy bueno, mucho más cómodo que en Australia y Tailandia, no hace calor. Las plantas son exuberantes, se sientan en el balcón por la noche y la brisa sopla lentamente. Realmente es Mark Twain quien permitió que la gente entrara al país de los sueños. ”Dios creó a Mauricio y luego lo imitó para crear el Jardín del Edén”.

This boutique hotel is the definition of a ”hidden gem”. Very well maintained and efficiently run, with beautiful decor and a personal touch. With their warm welcome I felt at home every day. The staff are amazing and will go to lengths to make your stay a memorable one. Big thank you to Nashira, Steve and Joyti, for taking such good care of all the guests and always making us feel special! The breakfast was lovely and they have just built a restaurant/bar on-site as well. The hotel is in a quiet area, away from the main road, walking distance from the local beach, restaurants and dive centers, and an easy bus ride to the next villages. Big thanks to John and Dimitri for being such wonderful hosts, and especially for the extra support you so kindly gave when I had to extend my stay due to unforeseen medical circumstances.
