Gosh! Where to start when writing a review for Seapoint Boutique Hotel!
[You must ignore any negative reviews prior to its refurbishment/reopening. It is now under the new management of the inspiring and meticulous Kevin. I can say with 100% confidence that those reviews are irrelevant!]
We stayed for 11 glorious nights.
There are many things that make this Hotel very special:
The OUTSTANDING food - the executive chef and his team (not forgetting lovely Avishek, the potential new Ronaldo!) produce top-notch food from excellent breakfasts through to superb dinners (not forgetting afternoon refreshments and cake). Food is truly exceptional!
(Being a coffee-snob drinker, I must mention the coffee - it's fantastic. Decaf is normally rubbish, but not here! )
Facilities are brilliant - stylish and very comfortable bedrooms which are kept immaculate by the housekeeping team (they deserve huge praise.) Good wifi connection, mini bar, toiletries, hot powerful showers, comfy beds and pillows, soft towels, fans, air con. private outside seating area all with seaview. Quality rooms.
Excellent SPA with a great range of treatments. The best massage and reflexology I have ever had!
Pool, sunbathing areas in immaculately kept gardens with beautiful views across to Coin de Mire Island. Relaxing and peaceful.
Free bikes - short (flat) 10 minute ride to stunning Mont Choisy or 30 mins ride to breathtaking Trou aux Biches. Arguably, the best two beaches on Mauritius!
Brilliant quiet location in the North, but everywhere on the island is accessible for sightseeing. Many diving operators and shops etc in Grande Baie five minutes drive away.
Finally, the STAFF - this is what makes this Hotel truly special. My goodness, everyone here knows a thing or two about providing excellence in customer service. They are true pro's. However, what's more important - it's genuine. ALL of them are lovely, lovely people.
There's too many to name, but we must mention the exceptional Avinash 1 & 2; Krishna; Assim; Ansuya; Nidhi; Avishek; charming Anoop with his gorgeous smile and amazing cocktails; the gardener and of course last, but not least, the wonderful, charismatic Ismael.
Thank you all (and especially Kevin who leads this remarkable team) for making our holiday on Mauritius truly special. We will remember you all with very fond memories.
If this long personal review doesn't convince you of how superb this Hotel is, then nothing ever will!
To not book this Hotel, it to miss out on a wonderful experience.
