Le Peninsula Bay Beach Resort & Spa

We had a great 2 weeks here for our honeymoon. Our courtyard room had a lovely view over the pool to the sea. The room was spacious and the bed incredibly comfortable. We only had one plug socket we could actually use , thankfully we had taken a plug with extra USB sockets. Water was supplied daily - beds made but not changed daily. The hotel is small and friendly , the food is ok, breakfast is lovely with lots of choice. The AI cocktails are very strong! Staff are very helpful and most are friendly. The beaches outside are beautiful but water shoes are a wise idea. The sea is very accessible but be aware of the current . The snorkeling was good in that there are lots of fish - disappointedly I was expecting similar to the Maldives with lots of colour but that wasn't the case. The hotel offers 2 free snorkeling boat trips daily but you need to prebook. They supply snorkels if requested. You can book taxis through reception for day trips etc - there are set prices displayed. We used them to visit Casela, la Vanille and to do a South tour. We had a great time and loved the location of the hotel. If you want lively then book elsewhere. We had a fly and flop and loved it. The hotel does get busy at weekends but for the most part it was quiet and relaxing. Totally recommend the hotel and Mauritius.

The weather was so amazing and the view of beach was very good but you have to walk too much to swim in deep water away from rocks .. .. the staff in the hotel was very helpful .. but we had a very bad experience with the men in boat house related to the hotel .. we reserved our name with them to book the snorkeling trip before 3 hours .. then we came 15 or 20 minutes before to go and he informed us to wait and then he left us although it was our last day to leave the hotel and check out because we spent only one day in this hotel so we were sad from that and they weren't helpfull at all

Arrived at hotel @ 07.30 after travelling since the day before so was pretty tired. The welcome wasn’t the friendliest welcome from a hotel that I’ve ever had. Was informed we couldn’t have room until 14.00 as that’s check in time and room wasn’t ready. After me going back and forth we eventually got into room at 13.40. Room was adequately sized with comfortable bed and pillows. Air con worked well. I’m not overly impressed with these glass see through bathrooms. The storage space was very limited with 6 coat hangers and only 1 bedside cabinet with 1 small drawer. Tea and coffee making facilities were there but the room only had 2 plug sockets in the actual room, one 3 pin socket and 1 European. Room cleaned every day and fresh towels and linen most days. Bottled Water delivered each day. At this point I will add that I think the rooms need a deep clean between guests as there was black grime in Places in between the woodwork grooves The place really does need a refurb to make it pleasant. The dining staff were all extremely professional, friendly and attentive. A few friendly bar staff especially Evan who kindly made a point of remembering our names and giving us a friendly wave when he saw us, that made a world of difference to us and our stay and it felt welcoming. The pool looks like it needs a good clean. Plenty of sun loungers available around pool and on the beach front veranda. Water sports on offer free but only allowed to use snorkel gear if you go on the boat. Entertainment was on every night but we didn’t really participate in that. Was quite noisy as was the planes that frequently flew over but to us it wasn’t a big deal. Food was quite often not very hot although it was quite varied and they tried to accommodate everyone with different themes. There wasn’t a massive choice but on the other hand it’s not a massive hotel. Things like sandwiches or soup would be a welcome change at lunchtime. Afternoon pancakes and coffee was a nice touch, although again could maybe be a bit more varied. WiFi worked intermittently depending on where you was, but overall ok. Was shocked to see reception stopping people that had just arrived after travelling all night from getting food and drink until there 2.00 A/I started. All in all our stay was ok, could have been better with a few more smiles from reception. This place could really be something special with a little attention. Grateful for our extended checkout
