LE FLAMBOYANT

Savor an international cuisine with rich local flavors in this sophisticated themed buffet restaurant set by the hotel's infinity pool. Served beautifully on Kenzo Takada tableware, our executive chef's culinary treats depict creativity and savoir-faire.

LA PLAGE

Peek into the open kitchen of chic Mauritian restaurant, set right on the beach: the tantalizing smells of the pêche du jour and Mauritian spices fill the air. Teppanyaki grill, Lobster nights, Tapas & DJ events... and dancing under the stars on the sand.

TAKAMAKA RIVERSIDE Non contractual photo

Adjacent to Le Flamboyant restaurant, this terrace restaurant facing the lagoon offers a new concept of light snacking during day time and sophisticated Mauritian cuisine for dinner.

The best hotel with an amazing service and great food. Warm n friendly welcome at the entrance from Mr Pradeep, Mr Raj at the reception who was always friendly, Mr Rajiv at the restaurant who would always check up on us, Anastasia who was very sweet and not the forget the Chef, my wife still can't get enough of that moelleux aux chocolat. My daughter loved the kids club, she can't stop talking about the ladies there Aroomaye and Prudence. Overall everyone was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Needs renovation

Anonymous Couples - 5/15/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff were great but to be honest the hotel should be de branded until renovated. It clearly needs money spent on it. Outdoor baths have disintegrated. Interiors dated, floors cracked, buildings needs painting or pressure cleaning.

Dear Mr. B., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We hope to welcome you back to our hotel soon! Sincerely, SO Team

Had a nice time. Good stay

Nice stay

Anonymous Families - 5/9/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room was nice and well maintained though the outdoor bathtub looks old. The food was delicious. Thank you for the birthday cake. The location of the hotel is ideal and we really like the concept of individual rooms with access to garden, hence our third visits to the hotel. However, the restaurant, hall and area around the pool have to be revamped. The beach club/water sports facilities looks neglected. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience further to your stay at SO/ Mauritius! We are glad that you enjoyed your time with us and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely, SO Team

Friendly staff, lush gardens

Tanvi Friends - 5/7/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed at the hotel for 9 days. The reception staff were very attentive as we were greeted every time we walked through. In fact, all staff greeted us as we passed them. Raj was very helpful with planning our trips on the island and restaurant bookings. Grish made delicious cocktails in the bar. Kimi was helpful with the hotel induction and highlighting the facilities available. The hotel grounds are immaculately maintained. We enjoyed our snorkel along the bay. The only point of feedback was the water and coffee replenishment was sporadic. Sometimes we got water bottles in evening sometimes we didn’t. Coffee pods weren’t replenished until we asked. The buffet breakfast was amazing, the papaya jam was a hit with us! Dinners were tasty and delicious! Excellent choices available in the buffet. Dietary labelling could be clearer ie what is suitable for vegetarians. The chef was very accommodating. We liked the location of the hotel, felt very spacious and not crammed with other hotels right next door. For us, this location was perfect to switch off and totally relax.

Dear Tanvi s., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the SO/ Mauritius. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. We will share your comments with our team. We are sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our ambassadors as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services.

Paradise!

A. B. Couples - 4/28/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

It’s been a fabulous experience start to finish! The reception and the welcome drinks, the cleanliness of the rooms, the wonderful beaches and the tranquility of the location, allowing anyone to fully relax. The beds are very comfortable, and the quality of the food is, despite it being in daily changing theme, buffet style, simply extraordinary! But above all, it’s the friendliness and very high service level provided by the full staff that completes this vacation. Although our flight was around 11 PM, and checkout time at 11 AM, we were allowed to use the room the entire day for free and even received a free drink coupon. All in all “paradise”!!

Dear A. B., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the SO/ Mauritius. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. and we will share your comments with our team.

Facilities were not the star rating given

Jo Families - 4/26/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Most staff were pleasant / facilities were a big let down. Tiles missing from pool. Air conditioning in the rooms were not working properly. Outside baths were an eyesore.

Well located with average service

Sawon C. Families - 4/24/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The property location is excellent with good views all around and private access to the beach. Rooms are well built but require renovation especially of the tubs. The disappointing part was the service and seemed like the staff wasn’t capable of handling full load. Restaurants had specific timings and no round the clock service. If you go for lunch after 2:30, restaurant is closed and all you get is sandwiches or snack menu. If you arrive late after 10 in the hotel, you can only get room service with cold food. For the amount of money charged, I definitely expect better hospitality. The only reason to recommend or stay at this place is the serene location away from the crowded beaches and thats all it is.

well located, far away from the noisy and busy life.

Vishnoorow L. Couples - 4/24/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Received a warm welcome from the security guard at the gate up to all staff at the reception without forgetting the nursing staff. We did not make any mention regarding the purpose of our stay on that particular date. However during a conversation with Tina, I told her that it was our 41st wedding anniversary. To our surprise the JSS team offered us a gift. We were extremely delighted by the gesture. Thanks once more to the whole team.

Dear Vishnoorow L., Thank you for letting us know how much you enjoyed your recent stay at SO/ Mauritius. We are delighted to hear that you appreciated the service provided by our ambassadors who were eager to help and fulfil any wishes and requests you had during your stay. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the near future Kind Regards, SO Team
