The hype
Travelers love the playful vibe and friendly staff, but mixed feelings about the buffet variety and wind.
C Mauritius
$230-450/ night
Book this if You want a high-energy, all-inclusive playground where kite-surfing and swinging on the beach take priority over silence and white-glove formality.
Why People Love It
- The 'Nature's Playground' concept with adult swings and floating trampolines
- Wok 'n Roll restaurant's Asian fusion menu (better than the buffet)
- Impressive all-inclusive wine list with 50+ organic and biodynamic options
Quick Take: A fun, windy, Instagram-ready resort that feels like a summer camp for adults, provided you don't mind the occasional ant invasion.
Reviewed by @thetravelgannet: I woke up early to catch the sunrise at C Mauritius and it was totally worth it. The way the sky reflects on the infinity pool is mesmerizing. If you need a place to completely reset and disconnect, this is it. The mornings here are pure magic.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The 'Prestige' rooms are closer to the beach but can be noisier; the 'Deluxe' rooms are in a newer, quieter block but lack the prime views.
- You are a kite surfer or water sports enthusiast
- You enjoy a social, high-energy atmosphere with DJ sets
- You want a solid all-inclusive wine list without constant upcharges

8
- Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, though some reports of missed floor sweeping.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but isolated reports of black mold in grout and worn fixtures in older rooms.
- Maintenance: Good, but the battle against salt spray and wind means some peeling paint or rust is visible.

- Odors & scents: Fresh sea breeze dominates; no major musty smell complaints.

Room Genie
Best picks
- Room 525 (Prestige Beachfront) for stunning pool and sea views
- Deluxe Rooms in the newer section for a quieter, more modern stay
- Upper floor rooms to minimize ant issues and foot traffic noise
Rooms to avoid
- Ground floor rooms near the main bar (noise and privacy issues)
- Rooms ending in -01 or -02 (often near service areas/elevators)
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I'd love to request an upper-floor room, ideally in the Deluxe wing for quiet, or a Prestige Beachfront room like #525 if available. Please avoid ground-floor units near the main bar due to light sleeping habits.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the all-inclusive really all-inclusive?
Mostly yes. It covers buffet meals, Wok 'n Roll (with reservation), afternoon tea, and a solid list of wines/spirits. Lobster and premium vintage wines are extra.
Can I swim in the ocean here?
Yes, but it's shallow and often choppy due to the wind. Bring water shoes for coral/seaweed.
Is it kid-friendly?
Technically yes, but the vibe is heavily skewed toward adults/couples. No dedicated kids' club building, just a 'kids corner' and less structured programming.
How bad is the wind?
In winter (May-Oct), it's constant and strong. Great for kiting, less for reading a newspaper on the beach.
What is the 'Cpicerie'?
It's a deli-style cafe in the resort center serving coffee, pancakes, and snacks. A highlight for many guests.
Do I need a car?
Not if you stay on resort, but recommended if you want to explore Flacq market or nearby beaches without paying high taxi fares.
