I just got engaged there a few days ago and they catered for EVERYTHING. It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. staff was so nice, we got a lot of goodies and we were so pampered. the hotel is designed in a way that you can always contact staff easily even at the beach or the pool you just have to press the button on the umbrella poles and someone comes to you. the four pools are very well regulated and cleaned, I did not get my usual eczema flare ups due to chlorine. The food was the best, everything was perfectly seasoned, shoutout to the chef who did the You and Me romantic dinner, bless his expertise. The view is picturesque from all angles. The room was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. This hotel is THE place to be. No kids, Eco friendly, very cozy and private. Big thank you to the paradise cove team for making such an important event so magical.

A lovely relaxing stay with attentive staff helping make this a wonderful holiday. From the moment we arrived, the reception team were great - Yashna, Melisha and colleagues. The food was excellent - thanks to Chef Babbo and his team. All contributed to make this a nice, relaxing stay

Incredibly beautiful small and cozy resort with lots of opportunities for both private relaxation in the area's various lodgings and get-away spots or mingling in the social spaces. Absolutely wonderful staff, great food and service at all the restaurants and a lovely bar where everyone smiles.

What a great stay in an amazing hotel in a beautiful setting. The staff were excellent and very attentive. We opted for a nice room on the all inclusive package. Whilst that is an expensive option, by not doing it could easily become more costly as it isn’t cheap. But, as the saying goes ‘you pay for what you get’. It was the friendly attentive staff giving the personal touch. They remembered our names , room number and preferences for drinks and the extra little chilli sauce that my husband loved. A truly outstanding hotel and setting that is clearly very well run. Congratulations to the whole team and thank you for a truly memorable stay.

We are still half way through our holiday, and we returned this year for our second visit to the hotel. We will probably return every February as this place is the ultimate chill out place. Our room is fantastic, room 802 has a perfect view of the cove from the room. The rooms are clean and luxurious and well kept by the staff. There are 3 pools with plenty of sun lounger space. All of which you can order drinks from your sun lounger by pressing the ring button by the beds. Staff usually respond pretty quickly so there is no need to move, everything is brought to you. The cove, is stunning and nice to swim in. There are beach hits surrounding the cove which are fantastic to chill in. You can also be served drinks here. The food is plentiful, tons of options and amazing. The XO restaurant is exceptional if you like sushi. The best experience of the holiday was the Catamaran trip. The two gentleman captaining the boat went above and beyond to ensure our party was well looked after. If you like luxury, good service and a stunning place, look no further.

We had decided to end our fantastic holiday traveling around South Africa with a week of relaxation at the this wonderful boutique hotel set overlooking a coral reef in the Indian Ocean. From the minute that we were greeted we knew we were in the hands of luxury. We chose to go all inclusive for the first time and weren’t disappointed with the quality of the food and wine. The service throughout the hotel was exceptional from a very happy team. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

A big thanks to Chef Yan who arranged a wonderful Japanese dinner for us by the lake side.. Thank you Paradise Cove for the wonderful surprise we received in the room (birthday cake and champagne with romantic turndown) We really appreciate all the efforts of everyone, and we'll definitely be back again for another vacation..

We spent our honeymoon here and our experience was amazing. This was our first holiday ever when we didn't feel the need to go out and explore, we just stayed in and relaxed in this beautiful resort for whole week. Restaurants were really good and staff went extra mile to make sure we were happy and relaxed

A truly magical experience and well named. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble, always ready to help. The food was excellent with a choice of restaurants to choose from. We enjoyed it so much we are returning in October. I can’t wait.

We stayed at Paradise Cove on our honeymoon and had the most wonderful stay. The hotel itself is stunning, with a number of beautiful pool areas and plenty of private spaces to relax in. The restaurants are fantastic, the quality and variety of food is great and the service is exceptional. The thing that really makes this hotel, along with the location, are the staff who go above and beyond and are so friendly, whilst at the same time giving space and encouraging you to have a truly relaxing stay. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was very spacious and had a lovely terrace overlooking the cove. There were a number of other things added in to make our honeymoon extra special, and those extra touches were really appreciated. We had massages at the spa as well which was a highlight, a really beautiful and secluded spot for some pampering. During our stay the island was celebrating Independence Day and the hotel put on a beach party with a flag raising ceremony, traditional sega dancing and cocktails - plus a Mauritian themed buffet for dinner which was a great experience. It was a great moment which all of the staff and guests enjoyed together. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to other couples looking for a relaxing stay on Mauritius and we hope we will be able to return again in the future.

I am surprised I have rated this hotel as a 3, my expectations were high, the Tripadvisor reviews are 5 out of 5 with some truly amazing feedback on social media so we assumed this would be a great choice. We are familiar guests of The Small Luxury Hotels group, so again our expectation was high. We travel the World all year round and have stayed in some of the Worlds best hotels and experienced some wonderful delights, we knew Mauritius can not compete with Dubai and Asia luxury’s so our expectation was high but only for an experience Mauritius standard we have had at other hotels here. This was our 5th visit to Mauritius, and having stayed in other 5* hotels on the island, this time we decided an adults only experience would be perhaps a step more luxurious and just be with other like minded adult guests and have no children in sight and enjoy some time together in what is called Paradise Cove. Overall, yes the hotel is in a lovely setting, multiple pools, multiple restaurants and bars and a very romantic place to spend some time and relax. Our experience, however, was that this hotel is struggling and in our personal view being well seasoned international luxury travellers, this hotel did not meet our expectations of a 5* hotel in Mauritius. The overall appearance of the hotel is that it is dirty, dated and not built very well to enable to the staff to look after the spaces. The pool areas are hard stone slabs to walk on, dirty ground before entering a pool and exiting. The bedroom entrance is actually really ugly at the back but the guests have to use this. It's an old concrete staircase to climb to our 2nd floor bedroom, stairs are wet, dirty, dangerous, unattractive, boring just a horrible way to get to your 5* bedroom. The staff, we would say seemed to be very lazy, they did to seem to be very enthusiastic in the job. We did not receive any type of service that we would call personal or above and beyond like so many other guests have apparently experienced. It felt a bit low to be honest almost sad to watch, and during the entire 7 days we did not see any management do the rounds checking areas/staff and checking in with guests. It was all a bit like, leave the guests alone, just serve them food and water and don’t say or do anything else. Amazingly we were hardly ever asked if we wanted a drink, it made us feel like perhaps we shouldn’t be drinking wine at dinner time. Odd way for hotel to make any extra money. The basics failed. Our room was never serviced before lunch time the entire 7 days. On the first 3 days we called reception for our room to be cleaned, which would usually flag alarm bells to the reception team and management on the first call not never happen again but it did not. We gave up asking after 3 times. Once we recognised very early on in the stay this hotel was not quite up to our usual standards we gave up calling and just allowed the room to be cleaned at some point before 2pm. Turn down sometimes happened sometimes not, again we called reception a few times but then we got bored of asking every night so again gave up. No excuse other than really bad hotel management and no control over the housekeeping department. Room cleanliness. We understand Mauritius and its weather conditions. Hotel rooms are not as clean as you would find in a luxury Dubai of Asia hotel. However, what we found was very dirty floor the entire stay, dust everywhere, ant nests in the bathroom, a really basic mini bar, no coffee machine (the year is 2025 guys) dirty clothes hanging space, minimal towels. When we checked in the bathroom sink was leaking a huge puddle on the floor yet somehow housekeeping did not notice? Also the phone did not work so we had to walkto reception to tell them. This was all fixed very quickly while we went for dinner, so we thought perhaps give the hotel some time and we’ll see how it goes but our alarm bells were going off and deep down we knew this hotel was no good. When we witnessed the housekeeping team, it all made sense to us where we were staying. Staff dragging there feet around with a basic broom, no pace to the work, no love to make it all look wonderful, no leadership or direction. No wonder the bedroom was filthy, the tools the staff had made it impossible. One night, we had the sounds of metal steel being cut right outside our bedroom and everyone else bedrooms really (photo attached this is at the bottom of the bedroom staircase). They were building some new decking around a pool, and somehow the hotel management must have decided it was acceptable to cut the metal outside the guest bedrooms at 10pm at night. Unbelievable, now remember other guest reviews are 5* apparently. Maybe we are in the wrong and this is normal. We telephoned reception and got the usual un-interested reception girl, not really understanding what we were describing. She said she would look into it, but the noise continued another hour into the dark night. We gave up knowing the staff and management here are useless and no point pursuing. Restaurants, yes its ok. We dined in all the restaurants, compared to other hotels in Mauritius we found the dinner buffet food overall a bit bland, lots of stew type dishes really, meat/fish/rice, we never found any green vegetables which was a disappointment because we like to eat healthy, most dishes were what the British would call ‘stodgy’ I feel rude saying it but my honest feed back on the food was its boring for a 5* holiday. Themed nights I guess the food was different but overall it was the same experience, bland and boring no atmosphere no memorable food or service ever, just a very unforgettable dinner experiences really surrounded by bored staff and what we saw other bored guests. Again, the food gets flying reviews on this platform so we were surprised with what we found which was really best described as good home cooking rather than chefs showing off their creative skills. We tried the other restaurants all be it difficult to book as firstly they have small seating areas, and secondly seemed like the other guests had been allowed to book it all up so no space for any new guests, great work reception, how to make a new guest feel welcome. Once we asked to book the Peninsula restaurant, the reception girl just said ‘let me check... no fully booked’. No, sorry Sir that’s fully booked tonight, how about tomorrow, just... ’no fully booked’ staring at us hoping that we’d leave. HaHa, terrible staff training on the reception desk. Even booking a tennis court and collecting the rackets seemed to take an age. NOstaff training is 100% confirmed here at Paradise Cove. Yes restaurants XO and Peninsula provide a la carte menu. Sorry but again we didn’t have anything in either which we remember, again just nicely cooked food but not great. Example, I ordered a lamb dish, it came out well done, presentation was good for Mauritius but not international level. Flavour, can’t remember says it all. The red meat on all menu’s was tough, in the dining room buffet we also experienced bones and cartilage in the chicken and beef dishes. No doubt a manger will respond to this review saying we should have said something but by this time we had lost interest and just focused on our time away and was being very selective with what we ate. I have a seafood allergy, despite the hotel being informed, I found it very difficult to be certain what I was eating on the buffet, labels were either missing or when I asked a member of staff either their English was bad of they simply did not know either. Outside pool service, again people have incredible reviews about this on Tripadvisor. What we experienced and witnessed other guests receive was slow and bad service around the pools. They have call buttons on each sun bed area so great! But only if someone comes. Basically seemed like there was only ever one man working drink and food orders for 2 pool areas and the beach, impossible for him to perform his job. We always ordered drinks, cocktails and water here and every-time the waiter would turn up with no glasses for the water, no ice. Painful to watch him walk miles back to the bar to get the obvious drinking tools. In the pool we spoke with other guests and we were some what glad to hear it wasn’t just us thinking this hotel is not that great. We were thinking, have we travelled so much and fined dined that we have surpassed the 5* resort hotel listed as a Small Luxury Hotel in exotic Mauritius. I don’t think so. I also had a spa treatment. The treatment was good, but again the same staff experience happened like everywhere, best way to describe is, like they just ignored me really. 3 girls working at the desk all sat down in the guest chairs, chatting amongst themselves. I walk in, just ignored. Weird service, like no guest relations training, just ‘you’re here for a massage lets get on with it’. Its Mauritius not Turkey!!! Management to blame, the staff were too young. They were left on there own not fully knowing what the job is and what type of guests they are going to encounter. As we recognised the hotel was not our cup of tea early on we instead used it to continue our daily fitness regime. We used the gym and tennis courts daily which were surprisingly good. I don’t think the gym was ever cleaned either but I was starting to get used to shabby shabby shabby shabby chic by the end of the week. On our checkout morning at breakfast, for the first time ever, a young lady approached us requesting feedback on our stay. Remember, we have stayed here now 7 nights and despite our complaints, this is the first time someone has spoken to us. We gave some feedback like my above, and she very nervously went away. At reception we thought management would speak to us but no. Another young lady checked us out, amazingly did not ask us how our stay even was, showed me a number to pay so I did. We then asked anything else, and her reply was ’no that’s it you can go’. Lucky we didn’t care at this point and we were finding it more fun to see what the hotel staff didn’t do rather than what they did. Just as we were leaving the lobby area and walking to our Emirates Business Class Chauffeur car, a female Front of House Manager approached in a hurry saying how sorry she was to hear of our stay feedback. She gave us a candle. We were accused of not making the management aware of our stay earlier which was nonsense we contacted the reception desk 7 times in total. She also said and quote ’the reason why your stay was not 100% is because we cannot employ enough staff, the young people in Mauritius do not want to work in hospitality any more’. I’m sorry to hear this, but this is not my problem and I should not have to listen this. Unfortunately, this manager needs to be removed from this hotel. Not only was all of our experience most likely under her watch, her final moments with us were what we would describe as appalling behaviour to a paying guest and no one should have to experience it. We were not talking to her, she approached us and just started ranting. I hope this individual is dealt with. After she said this we just wanted to leave as we were doing, she interrupted us leaving the hotel. Its a long review, however I felt necessary for any other TRUE luxury travellers thinking of staying here to read this. We are a modern couple, we travel the World, we are used to staying in hotels all year round. We simply know what we like and we know when a place cannot provide it. The fact that we hardly spent any money in the hotel was a strange experience for us and very telling. Usually after a week we’ve spent well over £1,000 on spa treatments/drinks/you & me experiences etc. If offered and it looks good we buy it for the experience and the memories. Our check out bill here was £400. For us that says a lot. All the flying reviews of this hotel in my opinion cannot be from like minded guest like us. Obviously we would not stay here again, I can’t see how even if all my above was corrected that the feel of the hotel would be any different, it would still be dated and tired looking. Sorry but it’s not good enough for us and made us think hard about bothering returning to Mauritius at all to be honest. We know the One & Only and Four Seasons is not much better so the future looks bad for Mauritius. It may have just become the new Barbados. Onto the next luxury destination we go!!!

My Wife and I have just returned from a holiday at the Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel in Mauritius. We have travelled to many countries around the world and stayed at many 5* hotels but this Hotel tops them all. A holiday that offers everything it says on the tin. The one the thing we noticed the most was how pleasant all the staff were from top to bottom and after speaking with several of them how much they genuinely enjoyed their jobs. The support they received from the Owners educating them to be five star employees helping them pay for their Schooling and even their uniforms I also heard they were paid good salaries. They also ensured that the standards around the whole complex were always maintained. From the cleanliness of our rooms to cleaning the inner man made beach raking it clean daily and physically going into the bay and dredging it. We were so impressed, as we had never seen this carried out daily before, we even took photographs of them on the job. As the open sea along the water front ???? was deep it was used as a dock to moor the boats for day trips etc. If one wanted to walk a beach you could go to one just across the road from the Hotel. AlternativelyIf just lay on the clean man made beach as many people did all day listening to the many variety of Birds that sing to you. There were some flies and small ants, only to be expected at such a humid time of year and is why the use Pest Sprays is recommended The Gym was very clean and had air conditioning, definitely needed in the heat, with sufficient space and equipment for a workout The three restaurants (OX, Peninsular and Cove) gave sufficient variety, quality and service to enjoy and return another day. We did not use the Spa although were told by other guests it to was of a high standard. Engaging with any of the staff was easy and welcoming. They even taught me to make a special drink at the Bar. Finally the evening entertainment was generally of a very high standard. Thank you to all the Staff at Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel in Mauritius that made this adventure one never to forget for all the right reasons.

My husband and I have just returned home from a magical week spent at Paradise Cove celebrating our wedding anniversary and wow what a week we had. There are no words to express our gratitude to the kindness and happiness we experienced from all the staff during our stay, from the moment we arrived and met the wonderful Axel, to every single member of staff who made our stay so feel so pampered and at ease. The hotel is simply beautiful, the rooms are well appointed overlooking the stunning cove and are equipped with everything you could need. The beds are super comfy, and the nightly turn down service with fresh beach towels delivered is a lovely touch. Every morning breakfast was a feast, and boy do Mauritians know how to look after you with their service. The people, I have to say, made our holiday just as much as the location and the stunning weather. Lunch at the peninsula is a must, after a day of enjoying the water activities. The food is wonderful and the views… oh the views. Then in the evenings you’re treated to a feast. I have to personally say that their pastry chef deserves an award, as someone with a sweet tooth, those desserts were incredible. We were pre booked into each of the restaurants upon our arrival and it was lovely to sample each one, we loved every single meal without fault. Compliments to all the chefs! And finally the catamaran trip is an absolute must, flat island is beautiful and the crew make the day simply perfect. We only wished our holiday could have been for longer and without a shadow of a doubt we will one day be back to Paradise Cove. Thank you to everyone who made our holiday so absolutely perfect. Paradise by name, paradise by nature.

We are a well travelled couple ..and we were looking forward to Paradise Cove after visiting South Africa & Zimbabwe for 3 weeks .. this was our 7th visit to the island first of all … THIS HOTEL HAS A MAN MADE BEACH .. you can not “walk along the beach here “ it has a inlet to the water that doesn’t have enough tide and the water is silty.. it is also isolated from anywhere.. So if you are beach lovers .. this is not the hotel for you.. The rooms in the hotel are decorated quite lovely and are comfortable.. the beds are especially nice .. Now to the staff.. they work hard here, but there is no teamwork.. everyday our order for breakfast, lunch or dinner was wrong .. the staff need management around .. we never saw them.. some of the older staff bully the younger ones and in plain sight of the guests which we found quite uncomfortable. Even at the Managers cocktail party no management came near us .. The ground area around the main pool is dirty and full of flies & ants and needs to be jet washed regularly.. we never saw anyone with a broom sweeping anything .. I wondered if our room floor was ever washed as the housekeepers didn’t seem to have mops & buckets in their cleaning carts .. Food was generally OK although meat was always tough.. The drinks were very good and Michael who seemed the oldest member of staff worked the hardest delivering drinks all day I don’t want to look on my phone to view the menus.. the Spa was average.. Head South for a beautiful experience of Mauritius to enjoy the stunning beaches.. I would not recommend this hotel

Just returned after 2 weeks at this fabulous hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious and very comfortable. The food was great especially in Peninsula restaurant. We ate lunch there every day but it has limited booking in the evenings but the buffet in the dining room is also very good. The only problem we had was a picnic lunch on the day we went out. There, were several different kinds of bread but it was all very hard and sadly inedible. We did complain when we got back and the assistant manager and chef both agreed that it was unacceptable and gave us free lobster dinner in Cove restaurant which is not normally included in all inclusive package which we thought was a very generous gesture and more than made up for the disappointing lunch. All the staff were attentive and we were impressed that by day 3 they knew our room number and our preferred choice of drinks. Special mention for Michael who looked after us around the pool with a constant supply of drinks. We hope to return later this year but sadly won’t see him again as he is retiring next month. Look forward to seeing the rest of the staff on our next visit

Paradise Cove is set around a picturesque artificial creek and has an abundance of pretty vegetation. The vegetation is likely the cause of the crawling and flying beasties which will try to eat you alive. The hotel does fog some areas periodically, but it's really half-hearted and not effective compared to other Mauritian hotels in our experience. Two other big problems for us at this hotel were the inconsistency of both service and food quality; both ranged from excellent to terrible, and seemed to be random. On the food front, the quality of meat was very variable, on the service front, it was both at the bars and restaurants. Maybe the managers take their eyes off the ball too much! Swimming and snorkelling at the hotel are both poor. Water visibility is terrible, and the area just outside the creek is randomly subjected to high-speed passes by visiting boats making it quite dangerous. The hotel does have a glass-bottomed boat which goes out to the reef daily. The snokelling out there is OK, visibility can be a bit poor, but I did see turtles swimming close up which was amazing. Drinks are decent quality and food at the central bar is really excellent. We didn't rate either of the a la carte restaurants, limited menus but nice settings. Be warned about the buffet restaurants when they sometimes do table service. Expect very slow service. We had a nice time but would not return, or recommend it to friends without warnings. Big shout out to Tulsi and the rest of the team at the main bar who were very good. You guys rescued this review from a 3☆ rating. One final moan about the evening entertainment. The acts (apart from the house DJ) were all very good, but their performances were so loud, that nobody wants to sit in the comfortable lounge area. The noise regularly sent us back to our room early and we could still hear the music inside our room with the windows shut, such a shame as it could have been really enjoyable.

This is a superb hotel to relax in. Don’t come if you want an energetic night life or a buzzy local area. If you want a beautiful, peaceful location with fabulous views, fantastic service and a chilled vibe, this is for you. I’m writing this on our last day, in a ‘love nest’ looking over the sea with a beautiful view of the off-shore islands. I am going to miss that view! The hotel is set around a cove which makes it sheltered. Whether you are a beach or swimming pool person, there are sun beds galore, so no need for towel reserving. For a breeze hit the sun beds on the Peninsular or the love nests on the seafront/cove edge. Cocktails are delivered to your sun bed at the touch of a button, with a wide choice both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. A good range of food choices, with vegetarians & vegans well catered for. What makes this hotel something special is its staff: John who served us at the Peninsula restaurant with panache. Tulsi at the Stay bar with fantastic cocktails and wonderful rum ( do try the free rum tasting). The front desk staff who book restaurants and experiences for you. Jonathan who popped up serving cocktails or in the main restaurant, always with a smile. Housekeeping who kept our room superbly clean and the gardeners who keep the grounds immaculate. Highly recommended and if we return to Mauritius it will be to this hotel which is rightly named Paradise.

Great lovely experience. Staff very friendly. Welcomed by Navin the deputy Manager, Miss Sandya kureeman, and Tanisha Gooroochurn. Sandya the front office manager very professional.

The Garden soo beautifully maintained hats off to Veeren with whom we got the opportunity to talk with. So many swimming pools unimaginable. Yani a true entertainer. Me and my wife had an unforgettable experience. The name paradise is justified.

It is Paradise. Calming, quiet and relaxing. Didn't feel crowded at all on beach or whilst dining. Beach beds are about 3m from each other. Staff all really friendly. Food is great. Room was great ( actually want to copy the shower at home). We were there 9 nights and I thought we might need to visit other places but didn't get bored or feel the need. Lots to do: aqua gym was a laugh and actually more challenging than I thought it would be. Pilates with Alison was first class - wish I could go to her class every week. Catamaran trip was well worth doing as good fun with excellent snorkelling. Recommend highly!

The Paradise Cove Hotel in Mauritius offers an unforgettable stay with a stunning location and top-notch service. Especially noteworthy is waiter Prawish at The Peninsula, who shines with passion and professionalism. The entire staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive – a true oasis of hospitality!

Very difficult to say anything extra that has not already been said. This hotel is exceptional. We were Impressed with everybody and everything. Food, drink, service, rooms, staff, ambience all first class. Sun beds everywhere, always some free, no need to reserve or worry. Some in the shade and others...

Very difficult to say anything extra that has not already been said. This hotel is exceptional. We were Impressed with everybody and everything. Food, drink, service, rooms, staff, ambience all first class. Sun beds everywhere, always some free, no need to reserve or worry. Some in the shade and others in the sun. Very peaceful and relaxing. So many great people to mention, but Michael tops the list, he knew what we wanted to drink before we did, and always with a smile and a nice conversation. He has to retire next week after 30+ years of service, it is clear that he does not want to, can we start a “Save our Michael” campaign 😀 Air Mauritius cancelled our flight with 4 hours notice, the reception staff jumped into action and found us another room for our extra night stay. The poor porter moved our cases about 8 times, but again always with a smile. We did the catamaran trip with the nicest and fun crew, again first class. I think you can tell we enjoyed ourselves and cannot wait to go back !!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it really did feel like paradise. The hotel is beautiful and the prefect honeymoon location. The biggest highlight of the hotel is the quality of the food. We felt like we were eating Michelin star food every meal. There are 2 restaurants including an Asian and Mauritian, in addition to the main dining restaurant which we were pleasantly surprised held many a la carte nights. The quality of the cocktails and drinks in general were impressive for a hotel offering all inclusive. Our only constructive feedback would be that that service for drinks in the evenings at the main (Stay) bar can be a little slow. They could benefit from an additional bartender or two potentially. This does not take away from the exceptional service which we received the majority of the time - a special mention to Manoj at the peninsula pool bar, who was amazing all week and couldn’t do more for us. At the Stay bar, a shoutout to Dev, who really looked after us but also hosted our rum tasting included in our package. He was very knowledgeable! He also gave us a recommendation of a local bar/club to go to the one night we wanted to carry on past the 11:30 finish of the main bar. There is live music every night at the hotel which is great and some singers were fantastic. But just so you’re aware for those who prefer a bit more of a lively atmosphere in the evening it is quiet and bars do shut by 11:30. The hotel could make use of putting some later evening events on occasionally. Our room was spotless and we felt like we had plenty of room in the deluxe premium. We took advantage of having a half price massage as part of our stay. This really was exceptional and we wish we had time to book further treatments at the spa. There is also plenty of activities on offer included with the all inclusive package. We took advantage of kayaking, snorkelling and going on a pedal boat and really enjoyed it. This was accessible and easy to book. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. Steve & Amy

We have just returned from our honeymoon at Paradise Cove, where we spent 14 nights. The trip was absolutely brilliant and I would recommend to anyone! Firstly, the food was incredible. I am vegan and my husband is vegetarian and we chose this hotel for their vegan options which were excellent throughout. There were plenty of options at breakfast, including vegan sausages and bacon, with vegan pastries and croissants most days, as well as plenty of fresh fruit and vegan yoghurt. The other restaurants all had a good range of options (XO was probably the worst for vegans - although still good!) and some really good desserts which always makes a nice change. When we had the honeymoon dinner, Chef Yan was brilliant with sorting a vegan menu for me on short notice which was lovely. We also had the Gauthier vegan menu which was tasty but possibly not worth the extra money - but mainly because the vegan food that was included was so brilliant! The only thing I would say is my husband ordered a dish that was labelled vegan (pasta arrabbiata) at the Peninsula which came with parmesan on top, meaning I couldn't have a bite. All in all, this is the best hotel I've ever been to for vegan / veggie food. The service was also, on the whole, excellent. We spent a lot of time by the beach and Michael's service was the best we have ever experienced, quickly learning our room number and favourite drinks and bringing a constant supply of icy water, drinks and cucumber for our eyes. On the one day a week he was off, the service at the beach was noticeably lacking. We understand he is retiring at the end of the month which we are very sad about - and hopefully someone can take his place! The reception staff were brilliant, explaining the different offerings from the hotel well, arranging our restaurant and activity bookings, and also organising our taxi to and from the airport. As the hotel is small, the staff seem to get to know you very quickly, and we must also give special shoutouts to Tanisha on reception, Dev, Siven, Sanjeeta, Pooja, Deepak and Keshav, who were all brilliant in the various restaurants. Our room was the most basic type offered but was still amazing, a huge bed, lovely double shower, plenty of room and a lovely balcony overlooking the cove and the beach. The activities offered by the hotel were also brilliant. We did the stargazing which was really incredible, the kayaking, the EKOL snorkelling (which was amazing!) and the glass bottom boat trip. Dev was also brilliant at the Stay Bar and led the rum tasting which was excellent and also the cocktail making class - he was so knowledgable these were both brilliant. There was also a cooking class which although was included for honeymooners was slightly odd - we requested for our meal to be vegan but in the class we just watched the chef make a prawn curry and were served a tofu curry - it would've made more sense if we watched the chef make both curries at the same time! It was a shame some of the activities were not shouted about a little more as we would have participated in the Tai Chi had we known about it! We did 2 x e-bike tours, one with Emmanuel and one with Yani, which were both amazing and taught us so much about the island - I would really recommend these. We also had 3 massages whilst we were there and these were all excellent, delivered by Joelle, Samantha, and one other (sorry we forgot her name!). Finally, we also did the You & Me sunset cruise which was really enjoyable, we were lucky and got a brilliant sunset, but did feel under a bit of pressure from the staff on the boat to tip (when we had already paid a lot of money for the boat trip). All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend Paradise Cove to anyone (especially honeymooners) and will definitely be returning!

We were here for our honeymoon and can’t fault any part of our experience. The room was lovely, the whole hotel grounds are well looked after and beautiful, plenty of sun beds available in different areas of the property and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was fabulous. The combination of everything made for a wonderful stay and left us thinking when we could possibly come back again.

We decided to book this hotel as we were really tired and needing couple time. Being adult only hotel was a first for us. It was a great decision. The hotel is calm, peaceful and very romantic. Being a small boutique 5* made it even more special in our eyes than a " normal 5*". The staff are attentive, polite, friendly and always interact with a smile. The whole ambience is luxurious without stuffiness. The rooms are beautiful, well equipped and cleaned. The pools are refreshing and perfectly dotted around the hotel space. Mickael in particular-our pool waiter -was so kind and i will miss his eyes cucumber and sunglasses cleaning moments. You never feel crowded or frustrated to find a lounger or a table. The food served at all the different restaurants was good, varied and in some cases excellent. The staff in the bar and restaurants were excellent. Too many to names but they all managed to chat with us, to advice and put a smile on our faces. All in all we have had the most wonderful week here. The beach is made up of a beautiful but small cove but you can swim and enjoy the gorgeous ocean from the peninsula too. Water Sports and trips by boat or taxis are easily booked from the reception. Alison and Jasmin were so accommodating. We will recommend this magical place and we hope to come back one day.

We chose Paradise Cove as the venue for our intimate destination wedding and we couldn't have chosen better. From the moment we arrived, the staff have made our stay exeptional. We were greeted with warmth every day and were made to feel so very noticed and special. Ile Maurice has been full of adventures and beautiful locations - but our favourite place in the tropical paradise is, without doubt, Paradise Cove.  Special shout outs should be given to the ladies at reception: Kacey, Milena, Yashna and Lolita - who were full of genuine care and warm smiles. They made our stay so memorable and happy. The catering staff were amazing too and the food was EXCEPTIONAL! Additional special mentions for Anatasia (you are absolutely lovely!), Sangeeta, Pooja, Rajesh, Deepak, Sanjeet, John, Tulsi, Kushev, Adekola, Francesco and Cedric. With his humor and care, Michael was an absolute star at the Cove and the pool and never let us go thirsty! We cannot wait to return to this idyllic retreat and, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank each and every one of you for giving us such a brilliant start to our married lives together. Mo kontan twa! Xx

A very friendly boutique hotel, the staff are very attentive and polite all the time. The food was varied and delicious. Alison, Jasmine and Michael were outstanding. The room was spacious and luxurious and very clean. The pool was well maintained and the pool bar service was excellent.

Having just returned from this wonderful boutique hotel in the North of Mauritius. 1. ALL staff were absolutely amazing with nothing ever too much trouble. Special mentions to front of house staff & managers, all bar & waiting staff throughout the hotel. Individual mentions for Michael, Johnathon & Peninsula Bar staff. 2. The attention to detail at this hotel is incredible. The grounds are tendered to every day, even in the rain making them look amazing. Umbrellas are available every where in case of rain showers, which did happen whilst we visited. 3. The deluxe double room we had on 2nd floor facing the private beach. Always nice & clean with fresh pool towels replaced every day. Nice Cinq Mondes toiletries in the bathroom. 4. Bottled water is FOC throughout the hotel in plant based bottles so they pride themselves on sustainability. 100% recommended-must visit. Thank You for making our holiday a memorable one.

Paradise cove is a lovely adults only hotel in a beautiful location. Rooms are beautiful with stunning views. All pool areas are comfortable & beautifully maintained. Staff are absolutely lovely & nothing is too much trouble. Food is very good, we preferred eating in the two restaurants but the buffet is also nice. I recommend the catamaran trip to Flat Island which is a lovely day with snorkelling & plenty of food & drinks. The spa is also beautiful, I had a body scrub treatment which was lovely. All in all this is an excellent hotel, I am baffled at some of the more negative reviews on here recently. Would definitely recommend for a relaxed holiday.

This is an adults only hotel. Which is obvious in the way they look after everyone with so much enthusiasm. Only to mention a few staff. Sandhya, Alison,in reception. Dev, Tulsi in the main bar and Michael serving drinks around the pools and beach. The remaining staff were also fantastic...

This is an adults only hotel. Which is obvious in the way they look after everyone with so much enthusiasm. Only to mention a few staff. Sandhya, Alison,in reception. Dev, Tulsi in the main bar and Michael serving drinks around the pools and beach. The remaining staff were also fantastic but to many to mention. The room was lovely clean and like the rest of the hotel well maintained. This is a small but very adequate hotel and exactly why I booked it. The food deserved a Michelin star rating. The food was very well cooked and presented. My wife has a onion and garlic intolerance and without any problems they catered for her making us feel very humble and pampered. The staff were so helpful always at hand to answer any questions even if they had nothing to do with the hotel. We stayed for our 40th anniversary and my 60th birthday all in the 11 days we stayed. All the staff made our stay memorable and very special. All the pools were always very clean and water tested very regularly. As far as I am aware they are not heated but heating is not needed as the sun sufficiently heats them to a comfortable temperature to swim in or just relax. This hotel is Fantastic.

What can we say, this was just the most magical place to start our honeymoon! It really does live up to its name of paradise! Service: The service was some of the best we have EVER received. Everyone is so friendly and says good morning to you. The service is incredible, from the waiters, the kitchen staff and the bar staff. We have to make a special mention to Michael who knew our drinks order pretty quickly and was continually bringing us drinks by the beach! And also to Dev for always being so friendly and chatty and making the best Mauritian Ti Punch cocktail! Pools/beach: There are loads of sun-loungers and places to chill which is refreshing compared to most all inclusive hotels these days. The pools were always clean and a lovely temperature to cool off in. Food: we couldn’t fault the food at all, so much choice and the fish was just some of the best we have ever eaten! The pool bar snacks (which are more like full meals) were great for lunch! Honeymoon package: As part of our honeymoon package, we got to do rum tasting, a 20 minute massage each, cooking and a cocktail class as well as a honeymoon dinner! We honestly couldn’t find one negative with this hotel apart from one teeny thing which would be to have a fan or air conditioning above the pool table as it’s so hot there but that is minor! We wish we could come back every year but fingers crossed that sometime in the near future we can come back again!
