1) luggages for room 126 & 127 were put in room 127 and guests in room 126 had to take their own luggage to their rooms 2) i did not appreciate service from the lady (short hair) who brought us to our room (126 - 127) - not welcoming at all - requested her to check if we could fill our mini bar and have an iron - while i understand that maybe it was not possible, i would have appreciated a feedback but we waited for 2 days and nothing 3) sent a message via whatsapp for iron - i was told that it would be delivered in 20 min - it never came - requested same again at the reception still nothing - had to call on whatsapp and then we were told that there were no irons left 4) at the swimming pool there were only around 15 deck chairs - we did not have any place to put our things ( not a major issue but you can consider same as an improvement) 5) dinner - we were given a table where there was no light and my mum ate chillipaste without realising since she could not see what she was eating - my brother highlighted this to the staff and they acknowledge that there was an issue with the light and made sure that on next day we were given another table. While we appreciate their service, according to me, there is a maintenance issue at the hotel 6) Improvement - there were flies around the sushi maybe set up should be different and at times there were no cooks near the buffet area Based on my previous experience (8 years ago) i would say that so sofitel does not provide a 5 star hotel anymore - more maintenance required and training of staff

The food was very tasty. The staff also treated us very well and they were very friendly & respectful. Only small problem was the jacuzzi in the terrace as we were not able to use it and it was a bit dirty and the terrace also. But overall the room was fine and we had a very good stay. It is a very quiet and peaceful place. Cannot wait fo come back again.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Not Worthy of a 5-Star Hotel As a business travel consultant who works with hotels abroad and travels around the world, I have experienced many hotels, and unfortunately, this stay was extremely disappointing. The staff were incredibly inefficient. I requested a simple doormat, and even after 24 hours, it had still not been provided. Room cleaning was equally unacceptable: the dirty duvet was not changed, cups were left unwashed, tea and coffee were not replenished, and a dirty cloth was left on the bed despite the staff knowing we were staying with our 6-month-old baby. The housekeeping system makes absolutely no sense. One person comes to clean, another to refill supplies, and another to sweep the floor, yet the room is still not properly maintained. We had reserved a restaurant table specifically because we needed suitable access with our baby, only to discover that the table had not actually been reserved. The bedroom floor was dangerously slippery with the slippers provided!! The evening entertainment was extremely disappointing, and the fact that the bar at a supposed 5-star hotel closes at 10 pm is ridiculous. Guests are left with virtually nothing to do. Overall, this did not feel like a relaxing weekend break. Instead, it felt as though we were stuck in a room from 10 pm onwards with no entertainment and a constant stream of service failures. A 5-star hotel should deliver comfort, attention to detail, efficient service, and a relaxing experience, especially for families travelling with young babies. Unfortunately, this hotel fell far short of those expectations. As someone who travels extensively and works professionally with hotels, I expected much better. I will unfortunately not be recommending this hotel based on my experience.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent family stay with us. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. We have taken careful note of your observations regarding our housekeeping services, dining coordination, and our evening entertainment and bar schedules. Please rest assured that your comments have been shared with our management team. Warm regards, Mehdi So | Sofitel Mauritius Hotel Manager

The room we were allocated (307) was near the main facilities, but had no view, and was so enclosed that the terrace at the back rarely caught the sun. My wife asked if we could change for a sea-view room and we were told that this would be arranged, however despite four separate follow-ups including speaking with the Asst manager nothing was done. Staff were generally very friendly, however the restaurant service was a bit haphazard with no-one in the waiting staff taking ownership of any requests. i.e. If cutlery or crockery was missing from the table we would ask for it to be provided, and sometimes it was and on other occasions nothing happened, we also had duplicates provided. On one occasion having had a starter from the buffet we returned with our main course to find that our table had been completely cleared! The buffet itself was very good, and plenty variety was offered.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. I am delighted to read that you enjoyed the quality and wide variety of our buffet, and that you found our staff to be generally very friendly. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback on our culinary offerings. We take careful note of your comments regarding your room allocation. Please accept our sincere apologies for any miscommunication regarding your request for a room change. We always do our utmost to accommodate such preferences; however, the hotel was unfortunately fully booked during your stay, which severely limited our availability to offer you an alternative room. We also greatly appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the service in our restaurant. Your observations about the table coordination have been shared with our Food and Beverage management team. This will help us refine our service standards and ensure a seamless and attentive dining experience for all our guests. Thank you once again for your valuable review. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even more seamless and relaxing stay. Warm regards, Mehdi So | Sofitel Mauritius Hotel Manager

We found the buffet to be far too expensive for what it served. We attended the seafood buffet night and they had mussels and fish, so we turned to the ala-cart menu. The rooms also need some attention. No soundproofing between rooms !

Dear Mrs. G., Thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret that the dining experience and room comfort did not meet your expectations. Your comments are valuable, and we will share them with the relevant teams as we continue to improve our guest experience. Sincerely, Sofitel SO Mauritius Team

Ganesh K. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Barring a couple of the staff, most people were cold and rude. Possibly because we were not French or White. Immediately on arrival, we were given a welcome drink and made to wait for 20 minutes before a buggy came to get us. At check-in, the lady who guided us (Aarthi) did not know anything about the activities - she could not answer any questions about the options. She then led us to our room (114) but lost her way twice - she said she was new and did not know the location very well. We visited the boat house 3 times - each time the local staff there were playing games on their phone and were disinterested in guiding us. They simply said, come back later as the conditions are not good. There was no interest in informing us over a 4 day stay when the conditions are better and we could come.

Dear Mr. K., Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the shortcomings in service you experienced. On behalf of Aarthi, who was new to the team at the time, we regret that your arrival experience did not meet expectations. We also take note of your comments regarding the Boat House team and assure you that your feedback will be shared with the relevant departments for improvement. Sincerely, Sofitel SO Mauritius Team

We stayed at So Sofitel from 2-Oct till 11-Oct. We had a memorable stay with the team looking after us very well. My family is vegan and whilst we struggled initially, Rajiv, Anastajia and the team ensured that the family food needs are looked after.

Dear Mr. Subramaniam R., Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted that your family enjoyed a memorable stay. We will be sure to share your kind words with Rajiv, Anastajia, and the team. We look forward to welcoming you all back to SO/ Mauritius. Sincerely, Sofitel SO Mauritius Team
