From the very first moment, the welcome was incredibly warm – a bell rings and the manager personally greets you, which makes you feel truly special. The Pool Villa itself is stunning, with a spacious bathroom and a wonderful outdoor shower. Every single staff member deserves the highest praise; their kindness and smiles made each day a joy as we walked through the resort. The range of sports and activities is outstanding – from tennis, table tennis, gym, yoga, to various classes, everything is thoughtfully offered. The beach is a true haven of peace, with sun loungers set far apart, creating a sense of privacy and relaxation. The sea is simply beautiful. We left with full hearts and will most certainly return.

The atmosphere, tranquility, architecture, and landscaping were absolutely stunning — truly beyond five stars, worthy of seven! The staff, and especially the resort manager, have done an exceptional job. Their dedication and professionalism made our experience unforgettable.”

Toast was always soft and soggy each morning Wine choice by glass did not vary across 4 venues; Wine by the glass was off around 25% of the time- likely spoiled by heat, left with no top on too long, or too long since first opened, or god forbid near empty bottles poured into new ones.

Location, choice, quality of amenities and layout of suits.

A very pleasant surprise. The villas are wonderful and very smart located inside the resort. Because everything was renovated a couple of years ago it all looks great. The restaurants, lobby area and the bar are very nice and provide a very relaxing atmosphere. The food is good, except for fruits and vegetables which are not very tasty (all import). The beach experience is great, with a very beautiful water and sandy beach with sunbeds located 10-15 m apart. The staff is more friendly than in other hotels on the island (mauritius people are not very friendly by default). Oliver was a great host on the beach and Minta a great concierge during our stay. The overall experience is great, the hotel provides you 2 times cleaning per day, complimentary treats on the beach and in the room and a very diverse mini bar. It is a hotel in which we can return anytime with great pleasure.

Half board or full board plans are simply meal credits allowing to cover 25-50% of a reasonable lunch or dinner. Would not say that restaurants are excessivey expensive - usual above average European price (EUR 70-140 per person with normal drinks). The busy area of the city is 5km away walk along the beach or the road. So one is likely to rely on car, taxis or food at the resort. Presumably, if you come here, meal price is not the main factor.

Top standard hotel and resort. Spacious, well designed and perfectly equipped villas. Relatively good privacy. If not for the common inner court areas privacy would rank at top. Great service, adequate to a price. True variety in restaurants, they are totally not alike as in some resorts. Beach is not top notch for sea swimmers, but that is a general thing at Mauritius. Still good for sport and jogging. Overall expensive but is worth it.

The only significant complaints we have are that the wooden floors were creaky in the room to the point we were concerned we would wake up our significant other if we got up in the night. Bug control was an issue to the point that we would not spend time on our beautiful patio without a significant dousing of repellant. They could have done better with milk alternatives, as none were available, which really limited my wife’s eating choices.

The locations was excellent with a nice beach without a crowd and with a view of Le Mourne. We thought that the facilities were great as well with the exception of the creaky wooden floors. The patio and plunge pools were beautiful. The restaurant was adequate with some variety acknowledging that we are both picky eaters. The staff was consistently nice and competent.

the property shows signs of ageing - it needs renovation. The breakfast selection is poor considering that it is a five star resort.

The staff is wonderful - very attentive, kind, responsive to any needs. Spa is also great. The food was tasty and reasonably priced; the surroundings are nice and well kept.

We have just had the most wonderful holiday at Maradiva Villa! Our villa was outstanding, spacious, private and with the most wonderful outdoor space with private plunge pool etc. We have stayed in some of the best hotels on our travels but this was exceptional in terms of space, ambience, and amazing value for money! The staff went out of their way to make our stay special and we would like to say a really big thank you for the effort they made to do so! We had some fantastic meals and the chef went above and beyond to prepare us the most delicious meals. The spa was also excellent (award winning), brilliantly run by the wonderful Dr Nair, who is also an Ayurvedic Doctor with extensive international experience at leading spas/ retreats, and we felt very lucky to have this world class experience on our holiday. We would highly recommend Maradiva Villas and we were very sad to leave and will return.

One night, there was a buffet for dinner and we were not informed about the price. at the end of dinner, my 10 year old son was charged the equivalent of 60 euros for dinner. Furthermore, there were two instances during our stay when the food was either poorly cooked or cold. the staff were quick to fix it when we mentioned it.

Firstly, we loved and enjoyed our stay. the staff were extremely kind and welcoming as well as helpful if any issues arose. Also, the facilities such as the gym, bikes to rent, spa, beach, tennis court were all perfect and not crowded. We also enjoyed the breakfasts as there was an amazing selection as well as Mauritian options which introduced us to local culture.

Beautiful bedroom but the new cushions etc shown on the photos on Booking.com never made it onto the patios and pool areas,we had a snoop around and this was the case for all the villas we passed walking different routes to the pool and restaurants. It was disappointing that these were placed on photos for advertisement purposes only. We have stayed here before and looked forward to the external areas being upgraded since our first visit about 10 years ago which they were not. The view from the villa was extremely sad. All the grass was dead and the area outside the room and pool was barren. It looked more like a desert than like a tropical island. Four other luxury resorts in the same price class were lush with well maintained green gardens. Some ares around reception were well maintained and watered. It’s a pity that the same was not done to improve the areas around the villas. Placing plants in the empty pots around the villas would have helped to distract from the very barren, dead, dry landscape. Breakfast at the restaurant was a huge disappointment and come down from JW Marriott, Lux Grand Baie, Sugar Beach and the Oberoi where we stayed before coming to Maradiva. The owners should scout out their rivals to bring the gardens and breakfasts up to the same standards as these other hotels of which some are in the same price bracket and some much cheaper. Maradiva is a beautiful resort with fantastic staff. The resort is run down if you look at the painting of the exterior of the villas, the state of the roofs and the state of the gardens outside the villas. The staff are performing incredibly well to make up for these shortfalls in the surroundings.

The staff were amazing! The service impeccable. The bedrooms are beautiful and the rooms are very clean. We also loved our treatments at the spa. After being disappointed with the restricted choice of foods on display at the restaurant we ordered breakfast to the villa. what followed was a feast. We ate breakfast at the villa the next few days.
