Récif Attitude - Adults Only

This is a very basic, no frills all inclusive resort. It was often reviewed as a 4 star hotel, but it's really more of a 3 star. The rooms are very utilitarian with rather uncomfortable beds and almost no character - just white walls and a concrete floor. We had a room on the back side of the hotel facing the road (or rather, the concrete wall between our room and the road) and felt a bit like we had been relegated to the broom closet in some obsolete corner. It was fairly depressing, but on the positive, it got us up and out every day exploring all that the island has to offer rather than sitting around the resort. The pool is quite small, but decent. The beach is very rocky and not good for swimming, but good for snorkeling with nearby coral reefs. The hotel offers basic beach amenities for free - glass bottom boats, snorkeling, kayaking, and has live music or events every evening which we didn't particularly fancy, but the hotel has quite a mixed crowd of honeymooners, backpackers, tourist groups, and lots of retirees, so it surely has to cater to a lot of tastes. Speaking of which, we found the food quite disappointing and expensive for what it is, and we looked elsewhere for all our meals except breakfast (which was very basic and the same offering every day). The bar drinks are also a disappointment.The staff were helpful, but not the friendliest, they always seemed a bit disgruntled.

What a gem! This 3 star hotel is more like a 4 star hotel than many we have stayed at. It was the perfect getaway! The interiors are somewhat basic but stylish and modern and very island style. Our room was, in my opinion, one of the best rooms. You walked straight out of the bedroom onto the poolside and down to the beach. What a pleasure! The room was spacious, clean and there was a bar fridge. The seaviews and the sunsets were stunning. The staff was very helpful and aiming to please. The breakfasts were varied and tasty and they lasted us easily until dinner. The dinners were the only give away that this hotel is a 3 star hotel. The food was a bit bland and boring. We will definitely return, but next time we will probably go for the breakfast only option.

This is a small hotel and ideal location for snorkeling not good for swimming as it does not have a sandy beach. The rooms r small n bathroom is semi private . So its difficult to not disturb your partner. Managment refused to provide tea coffees milk n sugar in the room yet my booking confirmation stated these items will b complimentary. t

Comfortable clean rooms. There was a kettle but no tea or sugar supplied. Booking on hotels.com said some free items included in minibar but not even a bottle of water received. Beautiful setting with pool and restaurant on almost on the beach. Food at restaurant mediocre for the price with processed cheese and really cheap cuts of ham for breakfast but great crepes This hotel is not on a swimming beach - you need to wear shoes as beach full of coral and very rocky once in the water. There is good snorkeling just a few feet from the beach so partly made up for it not being a swimming beach. Overall a bit disappointing for what we paid but we still enjoyed our stay. We preferred the merville beach hotel we stayed in two years ago as had a great swimming beach and much better food.

Inviting, pleasant enviroment. Space to sit and relax under beautiful blooming trees. Although directly at the street no bothering noise. The rooms located in front of the sea, the view stunning. The service people, called family, most of the time friendly. Some especielly, others could try to greet guests and smile more often. The food excellent, on the other hand, all week long buffet for dinner isn't optimal. The rooms are much smaller than we imagined, due to the price of the stay we awaited more space. Just the basics, bed, shower.

Friendly staff, rooms convenient to beach and pool.

Great holiday in this small hotel. Staff v friendly and because it's small get to know you. Drinks lovely and bar has fantastic seating options for watching the sunset. Beach always has loungers and you can swim to the nearby reef for snorkelling. The boat house also does face a day trips a little further out and in a glass bottomed boat if you don't want to get wet. Can't recommend highly enough if you want relaxed low key holiday. If you want all night drinking and dancing though best look elsewhere!

We have booked half board, totally worth it. No one stayed hungry in the morning and evening, although we are big eaters :) Buffet dinner was really good. The beach is not that big but great with the sunloungers. Watching the sunset from the pool was unforgettable. Got beach towels, what we could bring to other beaches too (We loved Mont Choisy). There is a basic gym if you want to use ellipse trainer or threadmill. Can't say anything they could improve. We rent a car, but there are taxis almost all the time outside.

Hotel was small and cosy with very friendly staff.lovely views and a wonderful pool. We had an amazing time. We only went because my daughter was over there, as we have never travelled so far before, but it was so good I would love to go back again. The Hotel manager was extreamely helpful as our plane connection in France was cancelled coming back. he was so helpful and phoned the Airline to confirm if the strike was on or not. Our Booking with Expedia on the other hand, was most unhelpful, and they did not even tell us the flight was cancelled until we got to the airport. After a 12 hour flight we wouldn't have wanted to try finding hotels etc etc, and we would not have been able to cancel our transport home from LHR. Therefore i was able to sort out further accomadation and transport etc etc. Due to the helpful hotel manager Raymond.

I didn't get to use the hotel much as I was in Mauritius for a conference but I can see myself having a good time there. Saw some dolphins frolicking in the sea one morning at breakfast and will certainly be revisiting
