The hype
Guests are blown away by the grounds and the new rooms, but mixed on the food consistency at the main buffet.
Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius
$200-400/ ночь
Смело бронируйте, если You want a massive, activity-packed historical estate where you can swim with horses and explore 18th-century ruins between dips in the ocean.
Почему людям нравится
- The 'Anno 1743' restaurant built inside an old sugar mill ruin is visually stunning
- Unusually extensive activities: equestrian center, 9-hole golf course, and giant tortoise park on-site
- Recently completed 2021 renovation means rooms feel fresh and modern, not tired 90s resort stock
Краткий обзор: A sprawling 25-hectare playground that feels more like a colonial park than a standard beach resort, but the rocky shoreline means you absolutely need water shoes.
Подтверждено @Alohafaniesol: I stayed in this suite at Maritim and it was the perfect disconnect. Waking up to the ocean view and having that massive tub right in the room made it feel so romantic. The weather was a bit moody, but it honestly added to the tropical vibe. Highly recommend for couples.

Reality check
You will do a lot of walking; the estate is huge and spread out, which some find exhausting in the heat.
- You get bored easily and need archery, golf, and horse riding to stay entertained
- You appreciate history and lush botanical gardens over just staring at the sand
- You are a family who wants a 'resort' feel without the crowded, sardine-can vibe
Чистота и уход
8.7
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. Staff are praised for towel art and general tidiness.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. The 2021 renovation replaced old fixtures, so grout and tiles are fresh.
- Maintenance: Excellent condition post-renovation. Very few reports of 'broken' items.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though standard pool towels can run out by late afternoon.
- Odors & scents: Fresh tropical air, with occasional whiff of 'river smell' (earthy/damp) near the Citron wing after rain.

Перед бронированием
Полезно знать

- Balaclava is a 'hotel zone'—there is no local village life within walking distance.
- The 'All Inclusive' starts at arrival and ends at departure, regardless of check-in times (a nice perk).
Что взять с собой
- Reef shoes/water shoes (non-negotiable for Turtle Bay)
- Strong mosquito repellent (especially for the ruins and river areas)

FAQ и советы
Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.
Is the beach good for swimming?
It's great for snorkeling but tricky for casual swimming due to rocks and coral. You need water shoes. It is not a wide, sandy swimming beach.
Is the All-Inclusive worth it?
Yes, if you drink alcohol, but be aware it works on a 'credit' system for the specialty restaurants, so you might still pay extra for a steak.
Can I walk to local restaurants?
No. You are in a gated estate. You'll need a taxi to get to Grand Baie (20 mins) or Port Louis (25 mins) for outside dining.
Is it kid-friendly?
Very. The giant tortoise park, animal farm, and kids' club are excellent. The grounds are safe and huge for running around.
What is the 'Citron Wing'?
It's the newer, more premium section of the hotel located near the river, featuring suites and often a quieter atmosphere than the main pool area.
Are the rooms dated?
Not anymore. A massive renovation finished in 2021 modernized the rooms significantly, removing the old '90s rattan' vibe.

5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой
💡The 'River Citron' running through the property is beautiful but brings mosquitoes—keep your balcony door shut at dusk.
💡The 'Garden View' rooms sometimes just face a wall of dense vegetation, making them a bit dark.
💡You can actually get married or have a private dinner inside the 18th-century ruins.
💡The main buffet can feel a bit chaotic and 'canteen-like' at peak breakfast times.
💡The internet speed can be spotty in the far corners of the 25-hectare estate.
