Initially we booked 4 nights here with a plan to extend our stay or move on somewhere else. We were a bit concerned with some of the negative reviews but it definitely looked our sort of place - a small property with stunning beachside location that offered a limited facility all-inclusive. Well, we arrived after the 12 hour flight from London to be told they were overbooked and we’d been “upgraded” to their sister hotel, Preskil Island Resort (see separate review). Our brief view of Astroea Beach left us wanting more and so after assurances from Southern Cross that we would not be overbooked again, we decided to spend the remaining 5 nights of our Mauritius holiday here. Accommodation We booked a 2 bedroom bungalow and were allocated 205 which has a direct sea view and easy access to beach. It looks like rooms have been spruced up with comfy, but firm beds and a newish sofa in the lounge. There is a mini bar fridge, included on the all inclusive package (beer and soft drinks topped up daily). The bathroom had a new loo and washbasin but the tiles seem to be have been part painted in emulsion by a small child or visually impaired person. The grouting is pretty grim too. The electric shower is an instant Triton heater so water pressure is compromised . There is no hot water into the bungalow so I had to boil the kettle in order to shave in the wash basin, but this was no real hassle. There was an air conditioner in each bedroom which was effective, albeit noisy. Despite some poor decoration in the bathroom, everything was kept spotlessly clean. Food and Beverage We loved the small, part-open restaurant directly above the beach. Breakfast had a selection of fruit, cereal, pastries, bread etc with a toaster for the bread. There was a bean coffee machine if you wanted something different to the filter coffee and tea was served in a teapot, essential for us Brits. There was a number of hot items for order including great omelettes, eggs, sausage (chicken), bacon and crepes. Lunch was a good choice menu of salads, pasta, burger, fish and paninis. The choice of all-inclusive items was more limited and did not seem to have a logic as to why they were included or not, but we loved the fish “burger” which was actually a large fillet of sea bream. Dinner was 3 courses with a choice of 2 items for each course, which you selected at breakfast time. This was absolutely fine by us and avoided food waste. All food was freshly prepared (with love) and cooked to order from the tiny kitchen, so this could take time, which was absolutely no problem when you had the amazing view and you are on holiday. The all inclusive drinks were good for the price point. The wine was Cape Bay South African which was perfectly OK. Phoenix lager was on draft and there was even large glasses (0.6l). Double measures of spirits were no problem on request and there was a selection of cocktails. You signed for drinks and your meals at the end of each session. Beach and grounds Stu

The most cost-effective hotel I have been to Hilton during the Spring Festival. Shangri-La and other hotels. Although it is much more luxurious than this, this hotel is located in the Blue Bay beach and has a private island like Shangri-La. It is the best place for the entire Mauritius coral to see the smallest fish. It can be said that building a mid-range hotel here is simply a waste.

The breakfast was very good, the hotel was very quiet, the view by the sea was very good, the location was very close to the blue bay public beach, the snorkeling swimming was very convenient, the hotel facilities were very general, the soundproofing was not good, the big bed was actually two small beds A little bit awkward! The room is small, and there are so many things that are not placed. Overall, the price is generally

First of all, the location is very convenient. I was driving by car. I picked up the car at the airport and drove 11 kilometers to the hotel. The hotel is not large, but the sparrows are small and well-organized. The swimming pool, bar, restaurant and garden are fully equipped. It's just that the room decoration is a bit dated. But the novelty is that the location is quite good, the hotel's private beach area connects to the famous attraction Blue Bay. My room is on the ground floor. The balcony door opens to the lower level garden. On the side of the steps, there is a swimming pool. On the other side is the cafeteria, where the exterior is the vast sea. While eating breakfast, I saw a foreigner and old couple snorkeling. At noon, I went diving with excitement. Under the sea are corals and colorful Nemos. Extremely excited. Tip: Be sure to apply sunscreen! Important things to say three times! I was too excited and thought it would be okay for a while. I forgot to apply sunscreen on my back. Tanning is small and sunburn is big! I read other people's reviews before and said that the food was average, but I used his buffet dinner, which is very suitable for my taste. Better than the buffet I used to eat at a hotel in Sri Lanka. The hotel really has few Asian faces.

The front desk lady is very good! Super enthusiastic! English communication is smooth! The whole small hotel sparrow is small and complete. There is even a microwave in the room. Breakfast is inevitable outside, there are small flying insects flying next to it. There is no problem with bathing, but some of the bathroom is wooden floor, which feels a bit strange. At night, there are a lot of geckos on the outdoor walls hahahaha ～ The best thing about this small hotel is the location! A few steps behind the hotel is Blue Bay! And you can also go back to the hotel to take a shower after checking out, very intimate! Of course, come back early at night, if you come back from the road, it is quite scary to have no lights in the dark.

We were only here for 1 night and a half day. The owner family are very friendly and exceptionally helpful people, not only verbally but also with practical help. The rooms are not what we would expect in Europe, the bed is good and taking a shower is perfect. The room we stayed in was very spacious. The house is located near the center of the city, 10 minutes to the Waterfront, the Cavendish Bridge and the historical museum. The airport is close by. People are either picked up at the airport (additional cost), or easily reached by rental car. Please note, some GPS devices do not find the street, the early name was Rue de l'Hopital. Definitely recommended. French, English and some oriental languages ​​Wifi works well, breakfast and parking within the fence, included
