I'm going to be in a self catering apartment near Grand Baie and will be there over New Year. Will it be a problem for me to book at a hotel/ restaurant for New year's eve when I arrive about 27 Dec? approximately what will dinner cost that night? any suggestions?
It wont be a problem as the restaurants dont usually put the menus up until a few days before and you can book right up until the 31st. it depends on what you want, but they usually cost from R1750 for a set meal of 4 or 5 courses. Some include a firework display at midnight which is lovely. The hotels start taking reservations approx a week before. It depends on the hotel, but will probably cost from R3500 per person uncluding dinner, entertainment and firework display The New Year is welcomed in by almost everybody in Mauritius and the 1st and 2nd are public holidays..
thanks! I didn't realize New Year's dinner would cost as much as that! We're going to be a group of 4 adults. Any less expensive options?
Unfortunately most of the restaurants serve a set meal on New Years Eve hence the hike in price. You may get it slightly cheaper say around R1500.Also some of the smaller ones may have there usual menu on offer.Perhaps you could make enquiries when you arrive. I doubt if you will get a hotel reservation any cheaper though. Good luck and I am sure it will be an evening to remember.
I don't think the prices quoted by Sunsetlover are that bad actually, Restaurants in Mauritius like everywhere in the world will charge a premium rate for a special occasion like New Years Eve. In UK you would expect to pay twice that amount.

Is sunsetlover quoting in Mauritian Rupees (Rs) or South Africa Rands (R)? Big difference between the two.

Hi
I'm sure she will clarify but as Sunsetlover lives in Mauritius I would imagine it's Mauritian rupees.

94 helpful votes Thanks, Mazza, I'm worried that RMSA is thinking in Rands which will make everything appear 4 times more expensive! I've made the mistake myself before when we first started travelling to Mauritius!
Kind regards

Yes Mauritian rupees.
