The hype
Guests love the renovated rooms and free water sports, but consistently complain about slow food service and pricey buffets.
Hilton Mauritius Resort & Spa
$350-450/ notte
Prenota se You want a reliable, family-friendly tropical resort where the dolphin watching is free and the sunsets are guaranteed.
Perché piace così tanto
- Complimentary dolphin watching trips included for all guests
- Direct access to Flic en Flac beach with legendary sunset views
- Adults-only heated infinity pool for escaping the family chaos
In sintesi: A polished, predictable Hilton machine that delivers a solid 5-star island experience, provided you don't mind sharing the beach with the public on weekends.
Recensito da @that.hilton.life: I stayed here for a romantic getaway and it was absolute paradise. The staff really spoiled us with the room decor, and watching the sunset from the beach was the highlight of every day. Totally recommend for couples looking to disconnect.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
The 'beachfront' experience is shared with the public, so don't expect a private, secluded strip of sand.
- You are traveling with kids who need a top-tier Kids Club and shallow lagoon swimming
- You want to snorkel and kayak without paying extra rental fees
- You appreciate a reliable Western-standard mattress after a long flight
Pulizia e manutenzione
8.2
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though 'island pace' applies to requests for extra towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Renovated bathrooms are sparkling, but older reviews cite occasional ant issues (tropical reality).
- Maintenance: Post-2023 renovation, the property is in top shape. Public areas are manicured.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count Hilton standard linens. Beach towels can be a bit worn.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of lemongrass and frangipani; no musty odors in renovated rooms.

FAQ e consigli nascosti
Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.
Is the beach private?
No. While the hotel has loungers on a sandy stretch, the waterline is public, and weekends get busy with locals.
Are the dolphin trips really free?
Yes, a daily dolphin watching boat trip is complimentary for guests, but you must book it immediately upon arrival as spots fill up.
Is the pool heated?
Only the adults-only infinity pool is heated during the Mauritian winter (May-Sept); the main lagoon pool can be chilly.
How is the food?
Breakfast is vast and excellent. Dinner buffets are hit-or-miss. The à la carte Ginger Thai is the culinary highlight.
Can I walk to other restaurants?
Not easily. You are at the end of the strip. It's a cheap taxi ride or a long 20-30 min walk to the main Flic en Flac dining area.
Is there a resort fee?
No traditional resort fee, but the government Tourist Fee is mandatory.

5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The 'beach' directly in front of the hotel is man-made; the real ocean entry is rocky.
💡You can hear the bass from local weekend parties if you're in the wrong room block.
💡The 'complimentary' water is often just two bottles a day; ask housekeeping for more or buy a gallon at the shop.
💡Birds will aggressively steal your croissant at the breakfast buffet if you leave your table unattended.
💡The sunset view is arguably the best on the entire island, beating far more expensive hotels.
