Maritim Hotel Review

Overall Rating

Fantastic, I loved it as did my husband and three year old son. The staff, food and resort are spectacular! Highly Recommended!

The only bad points were some of the over-priced aspects of the holiday. The shops at the hotel are over priced. Don't let your tour company organise taxi's for you, they charge double what the taxi would charge you! If you are not on full board the drinks - alcoholic and soft are really expensive. If you are on half board go into the town and buy your own drinks and snacks at a fraction of the price and keep them in your room!

The Maritim Hotel is a beautiful resort. We have just come back from eight blissful days there. The comfortable rooms are lovely and more than adequate. The service of the rooms is excellent. The food was really good. It was fresh and tasty and healthy too. The menus were delicious and varied in The Belle Vue (the general restaurant). We had two exceptional meals at La Maree, the most romantic dinners I have ever had. You sit with your feet in the sand, eating delicious food with either colourful dancing or a lovely band serenading you. The cocktails at the Quarterdeck bar are lethal, I had one and a half one afternoon and felt like I had been run over by a train! If you're not on full board, have cocktails between 5 and 7pm as they are half price then.

The staff were wonderful, very friendly and efficient! They had all the time and patience in the world to chat with my little son and make a fuss of him every day.

The swimming pools are lovely and clean and beautifully placed and designed. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, but take some sort of aqua socks as the sand is rough and full of bits of coral. We went glass bottom boating, which was nice and para sailing which my husband loved but we had to pay separately for that.

The (kids) Turtle club was wonderful, very well equipped with three lovely, well spoken, kind child minders. My son took to one of them immediately and she baby sat for us as well, which was great (this is at a reasonable rate). You can ask them to borrow a bucket and spade at the kids club and even arm bands for the duration of your stay.

The gym is great - very well equipped and situated in the beauty spa which is gorgeous.

We took a taxi into town a few times to explore and the hotel has specially priced excursions each day to Port Louis or Grand Bay. Worth doing but also go into Floreal, especially if you want to buy cashmere.

We had a fabulous relaxing, sumptuous time and I will definitely be back as soon as I can manage!
