I've read many reviews on TripAdvisor from other guests who've been to IC Mauritius, some were very helpfull and others were just complaining about crap.

We have just returned from The Intercontinal Mauritius, the Hotel is beautiful with lovely gardens and beach area. The staff are very friendly and try to be helpful but they need more training to be 5* quality, you ask them a question and they get disstracted and forget what you have asked.
