Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort Reviews

The resort is very nice, the location is perfect. However, when we first arrived the water wasn't working. It was then fixed but it looks a yellowy colour. Insect repellent doesnt seem to be working in the room ( its a plug in one) the lady sprayed the room on day one which worked but apparantly they have run out of it. We had an early start and the breakfast in the lounge was our only option, the bread/ croissant were roxk hard and dry. Other then that the usual breakfast is ok. I would recommend getting the edge water reservation for dinner the good is better then the Mercardo. We got half board but the catch is that ypu have to pay for drinks and water, which you obviously can't eat the food without, we came for are honeymoon and expected it to be included not having to pay extra for drinks. Lastly we found a waiter who was amazing and has sorted us out this trip, his name is Muzammal, he has literally made it amazing at the outrigger!

Check in by Krishna was very cold & not welcoming. Surprised that this individual is allowed to check guests in. Cold , no smile, rushed, unpleasant. I was not done finishing my welcome drink and he was in a rush to bring us to our room. Rod, front desk manager, nice & welcoming. Ensures guests are happy. Resort: older resort in need of renovation. Reminded me of cuban resorts. Old furniture, dated AC but blows nice cold air. Generous room space. Check out: unfortunately got krishna again while checking out. This gentlemen needs to quit his job. I was speaking in english and he continuously answered back in creole. I had to tell him if knows how to speak in english as my wife does not speak Creole. Bad bad service. Geraldine - good service, polite, welcoming.

Very beautiful and good service

Overall a very good experience - most of all due to the fantastic staff of Outrigger. So so service minded and everyone took really good care of us! This was absolutely the best service we have experienced in Mauritius. Buffet food could definitely have been better, the changed the menu every evening, but it really look the same, tasted the same and overall reminded me of Indian food (nothing wrong with that) - 14 days with same food is a long time. The hotel has a restaurant down by the sea, it was good and the chef Ashok really came through and made us special dishes and it was amazing. In the day, there could be more children menu from the bar, but on.

This place could have been 5* but long time ago. I stayed at 4 different hotels during the last 20 days, and this was on the edge of a 3-4* star. Rooms need renovation. Some pictures attached. Service mediocre, one poor guy for all pool area all days, no beeping solution to order etc. Not fresh bread at breakfast at all days, wifi at room sometimes not working. Espresso at breakfast came from a machine (undrinkable) I can go on with more details, but as a summary, do not book if you really want a 5* experience. Some area of the resort seemed to be quite empty, or desserted, never reached the pavilion area. Spa was under renovation and in general this resort was not a good experience for us. Please put some more lights in the rooms ! ceiling lights or something !

A beautiful beach and great options for pools, especially loved Plantation Club where afternoon tea is a must. The Edgewater Restaurant is excellent and Bar Bleu good for casual meals though options limited. The spa treatments were great.

The property is amazing, unfortunately there’s not much around.

4 restaurants, four pools, kid friendly but also great for couples. The staff are great and very courteous. Nothing is too much trouble and the spa was amazing….. beautiful place to stay. Top notch!

My partner and I stayed at the Outrigger Beach Resort from mid-late January. Overall we enjoyed our time both in Mauritius and at the hotel, but there are a few things I think it is important to note about the hotel if you’re planning on staying there. 1. It didn’t feel 5* to us. Possibly when it was newly constructed it might’ve passed as one but many areas are in need of renovation and updates - from the tired rooms and bathrooms to the lobby and guest toilets. Lower your expectations before arriving. 2. It is expensive! I believe this might just be a Mauritius thing in general and not just this hotel but something to be mindful of. Food and drink aren’t cheap and more expensive than the UK. For example a soft drink (e.g. Coca Cola) is around £3.50 - £4 for a small glass. Plan extra spending money, even if you’re on an all inclusive package (there are extra charges for quite a few meals/drinks). 3. The food and drinks aren’t 5* quality. The buffet is okay, lots of choice and some good dishes but can be hit and miss and repetitive. Not worth the money in our opinion but choices outside the hotel are limited from what we could tell, although we didn’t explore the local area much due to rainy weather conditions. 4. Pack a LOT of suncream, and when you think you’ve got enough pack some more. You can buy it from the hotel shop but it will set you back £35 . 5. The beach and pool area are genuinely the best part of this hotel. If you like snorkelling you’ll be just fine with

Overall it was a good stay. Breakfast was good, dinner had some really good tasting options and some not so good. If I had to change one thing it would ne for the walkways to be concrete instead of sand. The walkways would get muddy and also it means you always got sand in your shoes even when dressing up for dinner.

Lovely quiet hotel. Lots of greens. Staff was friendly and chatty.

Great value for the money! Outrigger was a pleasant stay for us. We had half board and the dinners were excellent, great food! Drinks albeit a bit pricy but it’s an island.. The staff was very friendly, professional and helpful. The beach was lovely and the veiws stunning. Plenty of activities like petanque and kayaks. I read the negative reviews before choosing this hotel - which I’m glad I didn’t take any further notice on. Yes the facilities are not super updated but they are fresh and rooms are well cleaned and you don’t even think about that while you’re there because everything else is great and peaceful.

Very good

What a beautiful resort with top notch, friendly service, unbeatable food, excellent activities and facilities, and an incredible beach. We were taken the best care of by the staff, and especially Kunal from the Plantation Club who went out of his way to make our stay memorable, including making custom and delicious cocktails for us, and Vashil from Mercado. Thanks for the unforgettable time! We appreciated and loved being here.
