Dodola Lodge

The (very) big plus for Jag's Villa is the location - 5 min. drive to the airport. Otherwise the rooms are standard, clean and without any deficiencies. The property is fenced/gated. The housekeepers are very friendly and accommodating. One issue travelers should be aware of: the only accepted payment form is CA$H. (receipt may be a hagle).

A very enjoyable stay in the tropics My experience of my stay at Dodo la Lodge was exceptionally good. The room was large and very comfortable and quiet and always well cleaned each day. I particularly enjoyed having the shady balcony which provided a welcome retreat from the heat in the middle of the day. All the young team of staff were delightful and couldn't have done more to make my stay a very pleasant ten day break. Making a return trip to this hotel is now high on my agenda.

Very friendly helpful staff. Lovely clean room. Excellent value for money.

After doing lots of research about where to stay in Mauritius we choose Perebeye and the Dodola Lodge. The room was perfect. We choose one with a kitchenette. There was a drying rack on the patio although the cloths dried best in the room as it was humid outside. They have a shared kitchen with a fridge and cooking area if you didn’t go the kitchenette route but to have everything you need in the room was amazing, glassware, plates, utensils, mugs, kettle, fridge, hand towel, cutting board, microwave and counter space. They even provide a sponge and liquid soap. The only thing missing was an ice cube tray. We improvised and made ice using small paper cups and at one point even aluminum muffin tins. The hotel provides soap but no shampoo or conditioner. The shower has plenty of hot water and the aircon works great. Beach towels are available at 50MR each and you can keep them as long as you like. There is a safe in the room as well as black out curtains. Since the hotel is on a side street it is extremely quiet in terms of traffic noise and the sliding glass doors to the patio are great too as our neighbors were on a different schedule than us. Mitch at the front desk was super helpful in arranging anything we might need. The grocery store is less than a 5 minute walk away and has everything you could want. The fresh baked baguette ( 9MR ) was a staple for sure. A 6 pack of phoenix beer about 375 MR. The location was great, 2 min walk to an ATM, fried chicken, pizza, crepes, 3 min walk to the bus and an amazing food truck at the beach, 4 min walk to the taxi stand, 4 or 5 restaurants and then the super market. The beach is great, crowded with locals enjoying, picnicking, a pentanque court and playing music. The sun sets right into the ocean – the view is incredible. The bus to Grand Baie takes 5 minutes and is 24 MR. In terms of exercise by walking there are no side walks and the cars go whizzing by, if you bring water shoes you can start on the beach and continue to the right and walk all the way to another long stretch of beach.

Short statured girl with a boycut at the reception; extremely rude, arrogant and unprofessional. Always sat on the couch at the reception with her gf and not assisting guests. Told her I need to speak to the owner. Says owner's not in the country. Won't answer the phone 9 out of 10 times when ringing up for a booking. She'll ask for different prices at different bookings. There's no sense of politeness at all in her. Don't recommend!
