Laguna Beach Hotel & Spa

We enjoyed staying at this hotel with half board. Loved Seaview!!! It’s so nice! Breakfast was better than dinner I think. Swimming pool was quite big and clean. Air conditioning was not in public area so we loved our room with icy cold aircon.

Very nice hotel

I'll start with a quick summary. This is a beautiful hotel, great staff, stunning scenery. Now, if you're a fussy eater, like I always say, don't go to all inclusives then come on TA whining. Also, if you're one of those people who expects their hotels to be in mint condition, this isn't the place for you. We arrived in the evening, tired after a 23 hour journey. The gentleman on reception was very pleasant, showed us to our room and explained the basics. One thing he did say was, you can't reserve sunbeds, first come first served. This is fair enough, but we've been here 5 days and there has always been plenty of spare sunbeds, so just ignore that part. We got to our room, now it was rustic, authentic, but not in perfect condition. Clearly the hotel isn't brand new and is used. Not an issue to us, we were very happy. Ours is apparently a deluxe room, why I honestly have no idea, as I haven't been in any others. We had a large king sized bed and a small bed in the corner for pur daughter. There are cushions placed round the outside, technically making this also a settee. We got a bath and a separate shower with a regular head and a waterfall head. Temperature can be a bit temperamental, basically there isn't cold water, only hot or warm. Fine for adults, just be careful with kids. Also in the room are a mini bar, TV(almost all channels are in French), beautifully working aircon and a safe. Tea and coffee making facilities, which we never use anywhere we go. This is a hotel of only 64 rooms I believe, so the all inclusive buffets obviously have less selection than if you go to a massive complex. Not something that ever bothers us, even our fussy 8 year old daughter always finds something she likes. The staff are very attentive, nothing is too much trouble, I think they pride themselves on looking after guests and making stays as memorable and enjoyable as possible. Can't speak too much on drinks selection, as a teetotaller. Always water on hand, which is generally that cold, due to a small fridge at the bar. Put it in your mini fridge and it's much better. The wifi is sporadic, I already knew this and purchased a tourist sim in the airport, very easy and quick to do. It was 15 Euros for 200gb, which is ample for anybody. I had prepaid for mine from the UK, but to be honest, I don't think it made it that much quicker. There are 2 pools, which whilst unheated, are quite warm. Not sure if this is down to the gorgeous Mauritian climate, the fact the pools are quite shallow, or a combination. Either way, the warmest non-heated pools I have ever been in and I've been about a bit. One pool is 1.2m deep, the other 0.6m There is a small entertainment team, doing the usual stretching, aqua gym, a small show at 9pm which changes. Things like singers, Dj night, etc. Nothing special, but a little bit of something to do. Yesterday I went with them on their Waterfall Cascade, which is a trip to the Grand River South East Waterfall. This isn't a trip f

This resort claims to provide lots of free activities but when we went to the activities hut, the next boat trip to the island was fully booked because the boat can only take 12/trip and goes only 3 trips/week and the hotel accommodates so many wanting to go, and we were told that the kayaks and paddle boats could only be used within a tiny roped-off area. So the main activity is sitting around the pool. If you want to go on the boat trip, you will need to stay here for more than a week. The rooms and the dinners are only okay but the breakfast provided was good.
