The property is not that well kept, dining option are not great and trying to book the other restaurants is difficult in spite of there being free places. Staff is friendly and helpful but it definitely is not a 4 star quality although the rooms are big. Overall it is too expensive for what it offers.

Toilet facilities around the site akin to a filling station experience. The real 5* experience must be tucked away in the Paradise Club section for which they charge an extra daily fee of around £50. More a 4* hotel experience for the rest.

A very long way from anywhere, there are many more convenient hotels closer to Port Louis. The location is very pretty and green, but so are most of the hotels on Mauritius. Hotel is getting old and in need of upgrading, very limited restaurant options and the pools were freezing. Buffet restaurant was very poor quality with very poor service.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bedrooms were very nice and clean. The half board food is average at best. The property itself really needs a lot of maintenance and repair. The patio chairs are vinyl and they painted them with black paint that comes off on your cloths. This property is well past its prime…..

Great location, however the access was a bit tricky. We reached there in the night and the maps were inaccurate. Staff were very friendly and organized a great Easter egg hunt for kids. Food options can be better and this was mentioned by other guests too. The beach, pool and surrounding area was fantastic, and this is a great base to explore the south of Mauritius.

Before listing those areas where the hotel fell short, its worth mentioning that the staff were very friendly and always tried and help wherever possible. Aside from the pleasant staff, I'm afraid we certainly didn't have an enjoyable stay. This may well be a good resort for families as there is a big pool with activities and loud music but not for those looking to relax. Outrigger is listed as a five star resort. This is definitely not the case - more like three star...especially when compared to other truly five star hotels we visited on the island. There are a number of areas which definitely need highlighting (in no particular order): 1) The food in the main buffet restaurant is of a very poor quality, often defrosted and certainly not fresh. 2) The service at the restaurant is chaotic. Lots of staff running around with no clear system. 3) Main dining hall feels more like a school canteen. 4) There is a restaurant where you can pay extra and the food is better, but service still lacking and often small portion sizes. 5) The beach hut (by the main pool) serves substandard food for a 5* hotel (expect only burgers and pizzas). 6) We ordered two strawberry daquiris and were served iced strawberry from the slush puppy machine. The barman said he could just 'add rum' if we wanted a daquiri! Unacceptable. 7) Rooms were ok, good size but v small tv and nothing in the mini fridge 8) You'll need a car, remote part of the island! 9) Hotel still under renovation

This is a nice resort for those who want a nice experience, whilst having the flexibility of meal plans, facilities and location. The staff were really helpful and always had a smile!! They teied their utmost best to make sure you had a great stay, and if it did go wrong, they were quick to reaolve things in the best way possible. Food quality was really good, however at times it did get repetitive. This was reailved again by a fdw simple request, which the staff were more than happy to help with. This extends to the dinner aswell. The buffet has theme nights for cuisines, thus avoiding repetition on mains and salads. However desserts were generic and much tye same theoughout. It would've been even better if the desserts followed the theme also. But, this could be due to wastage and other more relevant reasons, hence wasn't a big deal for my wife & I. Some staff were incredible - Dinson (manager), diksha (receptionist), Lukhoo (chef), Sheetal (buffet assistant, John & the other waiters/waitresses were really amazing in helping us with our dietary needs, and Lukhoo especially is an incredibly gifted chef! Room cleaning was decent, with the odd time we had to request something. The rooms themselves could've been better if the doors were properly sealed. We used to find ants and the odd gecko which decided to make its home inside ours. Overall, my wife & I had a great stay at the Outrigger and we would certainly consider returning.

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.
