THE OBEROI BEACH RESORT

Amazing place & great staff - 100% recommendation!

Eines der besten Resorts in denen wir jemals waren. Vom Zeitpunkt der Ankunft bis Abreise wird man sehr umsorgt und der Hotelmanager selbst sucht immer wieder das Gespräch auf Zufriedenheit.
Das Resort selbst geben wir aufgrund der Luxeriösität und des Service 5 Sterne. Die Abgeschiedenheit störte uns etwas. Das ist aber eine subjektive Bewertung, da wir sehr Unternehmenslustig, auf eigene Faust, sind. Die Preise sind natürlich für die gehobene Gesellschaft bestimmt. Was uns auch noch leicht störte war, dass die Preise für ein lokales Bier oder ein Aperol Spritz mehr als doppelt so teuer waren wie 3 km weiter im Restaurant.

Best Hotel we have stayed at. Incredible service, food and rooms. The staff made our honeymoon special. Thanks!

We are currently in this hotel and no doubt it is a fantastic welcoming tranquil hotel. We were little
As first we were Sceptical as didn’t know what to expect just read the reviews and seen that the service and food was good and we booked it.
I can tell you this The photos on social media or on their website is not showing the whole garden enough. Both polls look small in the photos they are actually quite big.
We are staying in garden view room and the sounds of the birds is so blissful. The whole area is huge. Walking in the garden and on the beach is so enjoyable.
There is some open buffet style breakfast options which is mostly fruits and pastries the actual breakfast is selected from the menu and cooked for you which is delicious.
Beach is not big as mentioned on some reviews but it’s very clean no seaweeds etc. however if you are a good swimmer you can swim few meters away from the beach and there is plenty of sea .
We would highly recommend you to book the south tour from the hotel their driver is local and knows everything about the island and the places we have visited.
You can also book a heli tour from the hotel they are using Corail helicopters.
You really see that every member of staff putting an effort to make things right for you.
So difficult to mentionne names here as they all engage with you from reception to house keeping.they even asked if we have preferred fruits so that you can put those in our room.
Just pack your suitcase (noo need for beach bag, beach towels or flip flops) all these provided by the hotel.
This hotel is very private and perfect place to re connect with your inner self and the nature. If you are after tranquility perfect place to spend your holiday

I am generally suspicious when reviews mention only good points and give 5 stars, but I must say our 5 nights stay was nothing short but perfect.
The location and landscaping of the hotel is amazing, and the limited number of rooms with small villas made it so much more cozy than large international resorts. The gardens are extremely well looked after, and there were no insects or crawlies that I really don’t like. Only a few cute lizards here and there, and those beautiful giant bats far above at night.
The rooms are very large (and we went for the normal ones) and very well equipped, with a view on the garden and the sea, just perfect to open the curtains in the morning.
The beaches are not huge but very nice and well supplied with lounge chairs and thatch umbrellas. One nice touch is the button on the umbrella to cal for a waiter when you need anything.
The sea is very clean and ideal for snorkelling. The pools are very big (much bigger than they seem on the website photos) and very beautiful (you must watch the sunset from the beach or pools).
The restaurants are just incredible. Both the main restaurant, or the alfresco grill. We have been in a few 5 stars resorts, and here the chefs are playing in another league. BTW I wouldn’t recommend the half board option, as we ended up with a similar price all in all including the drinks, while in the half board option they are not. Plus we could choose which restaurant we wanted every night. To be honest, I never thought Indian fusion food could be that good and not burning spicy. Kudos to Sumita we did the cooking classes with :)

The service is also incredible. I can not remember the name of the staff members we interested with, but all are extremely helpful, humble, genuinely smiling and really doing the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. From the waiters at the restaurant or at the bar (they gave us a l’an improvised rhum tasting session for my birthday), the cleaning staff, and also the water sport instructors. I must also name Vinay our amazing driver, so kind and knowledgeable about the island and it’s history.
I would highly recommend the helicopter tour to see the underwater waterfall, the south island car tour with Vinay, the tai chi (Henrio was so didactic and patient as we were beginners), the star gazing and the cooking class. Snorkelling was also very nice with a lot of fishes (even though Maldives was better). The other activities might also be good but we ran out of time.
We were not sure when we picked this hotel, as there are many other hotels on the island, but this was an absolute bulls eye.
If we come again in Mauritius (and we probably will if we can as the island has a lot to offer) we will definetly choose the Oberoi resort. I am now even curious about the other hotels from the same chain.
I *loved* it
