The hype
Guests love the modern design and massive pool, but often feel nickel-and-dimed by food and beverage prices.
Long Beach Mauritius
$220-460 / nacht
Boek dit als You want a modern, high-energy resort on the wild East Coast where the piazza vibe matters more than traditional colonial luxury.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The 'Piazza' central square creates a lively village atmosphere unlike typical spread-out resorts
- Massive white-sand beach that feels endless (1.3km long)
- Cinq Mondes Spa is a secluded sanctuary that feels miles away from the main pool chaos
Snel Overzicht: A stunning modern architectural statement that sometimes struggles to deliver 5-star service consistency and charges you for water at dinner.
Beoordeeld door @wanderlust_sisters3_22: I stayed in Room 163 and having that direct garden access was my favorite part. The room felt massive and modern, and hopping on the shuttle to the beach made everything so easy. Definitely recommend for a chill escape.

Reality check
Service is a coin toss—you either get a superstar server or someone who actively avoids eye contact for 20 minutes.
- You prefer chic, contemporary design over thatch-roof tropical kitsch
- You are a golfer (free shuttles/green fees at Ile aux Cerfs & Anahita)
- You want a resort with a 'nightlife' feel in the evenings
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Generally tidy, but reports of 'missed spots' and rushing are common.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout and drains are the weak point. Multiple reports of 'musty drain smells' in ground floor bathrooms.
- Maintenance: The 'chic' white furniture shows wear easily. Expect some scuffs and 'tired' edges in older rooms.
- Linens & towels: Clean and crisp, though pool towels can run out by 2pm on busy days.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of lemongrass; some rooms smell of damp/humidity due to the climate.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- Download the hotel app immediately—it's the only reliable way to book restaurant tables (which fill up days in advance).
- There are hidden water refill stations near the gym/spa if you refuse to pay $5 for dinner water.
- The 'All Inclusive' package is highly recommended due to the high price of à la carte drinks and food.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- Windbreaker or light jacket (essential for evenings, even in summer)
- Reef shoes (the coral can be sharp and stonefish are present in Mauritius waters)
- Formal trousers for men (mandatory for dinner)
Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Junior Suite Beach Access (Ground Floor) in the North Wing for quieter mornings and direct sand access
- Ocean Front Suites for the best unobstructed views (avoid 'Garden View' if you want to see the sea)
Kamers om te vermijden
- Rooms near the 'Piazza' or Main Pool if you sleep before 11pm (music noise)
- Ground floor rooms near the main pathways (zero privacy, people walk right by your glass door)

“I am requesting a room in the North Wing, as far from the Piazza/Main Pool noise as possible. Ideally a top-floor unit to avoid foot traffic noise, or a ground floor unit with genuine privacy hedges.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, but it's shallow and rocky in parts. Bring reef shoes. The lagoon is protected by a reef, so no big waves, but the wind can make it choppy.
Can I drink the tap water?
No. The hotel provides 2 bottles daily, but guests report this isn't enough. Buy 5L jugs at the local supermarket in Flacq to save money.
Is there construction noise?
There is a residential development project ('Long Beach Residences') nearby. While major structural work is done, intermittent noise is possible. Ask for a room away from the construction boundary.
How is the wifi?
Surprisingly good. fast enough for Zoom calls, covering rooms and most of the pool area.
Are the pools heated?
The main pool is not consistently heated and can be 'freezing' in winter (June-Aug). The lap pool at the gym is often warmer.
Is it adults-only?
No, it's very family-friendly. However, there is an 'adults-only' infinity pool which is strictly policed.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Tides' restaurant lunch is often better and fresher than the main buffet—book it for a midday meal.
- ✨
Walk north along the beach past the hotel boundary to find empty stretches of sand and local snack stalls.
- ✨
The gym has a steam room that is free to use even if you haven't booked a spa treatment.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'resort fees' feel non-existent, but the 'water tax' at dinner feels like a hidden fee.
💡The wind on this side of the island can literally blow your cocktail off the table in August.
💡Housekeeping can be hit-or-miss; some days they scrub, other days they just pull the duvet up.
💡The Japanese restaurant 'Hasu' is the only one with a strict supplement charge even on All-Inclusive, but it's the best food on the property.
💡Stray dogs will join you for sunbathing on the beach; they are part of the Mauritius beach furniture.
