“Insect Motel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Hibiscus is a small hotel situated on the north coast of Mauritius. It is centrally located; although it does not have a beach of its own, the hotel is close to popular and safe beaches.
What we liked were; rooms quite spacious, large spa bath, very good dive centre (Orca Divers) based at the hotel, and the location …. Only 100 metres from Pereybere beach, lots of restaurants, nearest supermarket 1,5km, Grand Baie 2,5km. snorkeling, water-ski and glass-bottom trips available at Pereybere beach.
What we disliked; lots of ants, cockroaches in the bedrooms and even in dining area. We used 3 cans of insect spray in one week, in an effort to keep away the creepy crawlies. The pathways between rooms and other areas are very uneven, made out of rocks, difficult to walk bare-foot, especially at night, as they are not well lit. Swimming pool was old and small, no beach, although there is some access to the sea via an old wooden stairway. Gardens overgrown. Small central fishing pond which has been empty for over a year. Very small, stuffy gym with old equipment. Staff in dining area are slow to serve and respond.
Compared to other hotels in Mauritius, Hibiscus is a 2 star hotel, but if the owners clean it up and train the staff, it could once again become a popular 3 star hotel.

“For divers perfectly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

A nice small Resort with privatly feeling makes good holidays. For divers is the Resort perfectly, becouse orca-divebase (german, french, english speaking) is there and hotspots for diving nearly (by boot from 3 to 20 minutes).
Directly at the hotel is'nt beach, but you can go swimming from a small woodbridge in to the clear water. Around the hotel is a nice greeen garden and the kitchen in restaurant is very good, they make food with love. Staffs are very friebdly and helpfully also. The rooms and bathromm with shower are big and clean.
Behind the resort all days from 7.30 to 16.00 they working at a new building, so it was'nt quiet, that you should know.

“ROASTED EGG WITH FIVES SPICES...... & ANTS EVERYWHERE”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Thank God this hotel was next to the best public beach in Mauritius. I knew it wasn't going to be a 5 star experience but nevertheless i thought it would be clean.
Ants were crawling everywhere in the room i stayed in. I woke up with them crawling on them on the bed.
The place is a mosquito haven - so be sure to bring your vape in the room. It smelt like a sewer outisde the room. (we had a ground floor room)
Cats and sickly kittens roam everywhere - and give you shrek eyes as you eat in the dining area. But some might like that... They get well fed because the food is terrible. For example for an appetiser we were given a roasted egg with 5 spice - a hard boiled egg with a brown coating- it was vile. Nothing much tasted fresh. Desserts were disgusting unless you are used to fake cream etc. However we were able to change our 'spaghetti bolognaise' option for grilled dorade which was fine. Dont expect anything much for breakfast- pattiserie isnt fresh and no fruit is available. Soups were disgusting - but i did see other people eating it. Asian people - stay away from this place - you will be disappointed.
A kettle was provided in the room - but no where to plug it in. Ants all over it. Bathroom ok- shower decently powerful.
No entertainment was given on a Friday night- but we were told they would sega on Fri night.
Staff were chatty and helpful - but one guy was really rude when we forgot to 'sign off' after eating- as we werent aware that drinks were not included in half board.
Great areas to relax and sun bathe in front the sea though. Pereybere is the best- watch out for the tortoises that live there.
Money would be better spent on renting an apartment - many around.

“TO BE AVOIDED !!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2011

The hotel has a great location but it's the worse possible service one can possibly ask for.

The bed sheets were always smelly and humid despite several request to change them.
The food was terrible, we had to leave the hotel everyday to eat despite breakfast and diner was included in our package.
The employees didn't speak proper english which made it difficult to be understood.
Mostly indians, staff and tourists.

“Relaxing, Simple, Fantastically Affordable Vacation from S Africa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here and I have to say, regardless of other people's negative reviews, this hotel is unbelievably pleasant, shockingly affordable for a couple on a South African budget it was PERFECT for us. If you're looking for pampering and 5 star treatment, don't stay at a 3 star hotel. This is perfect if you want simplicity without sacrificing a comfortable bed, decent meal, and great beach access.
The room was spacious, air conditioned (thank god!), and I loved the foliage hanging throughout the walkways to the rooms. We stayed on a Half Board plan, which includes breakfast and dinner. Both meals were filling, simple, and had enough variety that we didn't bother going on elsewhere our entire stay, except for lunch.

Directly to the left of the hotel is a private beach which hotel guests have access to, with a fabulous reef to snorkel and dive through, which we spent most of our time doing. Snorkeling gear is provided for free which (as an American originally, where you pay for everything) I was shocked by! There were beach towels at the front desk for our use as well.

Grand Baie is one of the best areas of Mauritius, and the convenience and accessibility of this hotel will definitely have us staying there again. I hear a rumor my bf may need to go back, and I'm excited already!

Again, to summarize, simple hotel, VERY clean, comfortable beds, great linens, air conditioned rooms, awesomely affordable with meal plans included, beautiful private beach access with a reef for snorkeling, and simple but helpful staff. I will definitely stay here again.
