Staff is super friendly. Food is delicious but expensive if going ala carte. Lots of mosquitoes in room… spend 10-20 minutes trying to kill them before sleeping

Really good property and service.. loved staying here.. Rooms are massive

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bedrooms were very nice and clean. The half board food is average at best. The property itself really needs a lot of maintenance and repair. The patio chairs are vinyl and they painted them with black paint that comes off on your cloths. This property is well past its prime…..

Dirty especially in the restaurant area! The cutlery and the table were dirty. The hotel needs a deep refurbishment! I stayed there before covid and it was amazing. Needs to step up as competition are far better in Mauritius.

Great location, however the access was a bit tricky. We reached there in the night and the maps were inaccurate. Staff were very friendly and organized a great Easter egg hunt for kids. Food options can be better and this was mentioned by other guests too. The beach, pool and surrounding area was fantastic, and this is a great base to explore the south of Mauritius.

Before listing those areas where the hotel fell short, its worth mentioning that the staff were very friendly and always tried and help wherever possible. Aside from the pleasant staff, I'm afraid we certainly didn't have an enjoyable stay. This may well be a good resort for families as there is a big pool with activities and loud music but not for those looking to relax. Outrigger is listed as a five star resort. This is definitely not the case - more like three star...especially when compared to other truly five star hotels we visited on the island. There are a number of areas which definitely need highlighting (in no particular order): 1) The food in the main buffet restaurant is of a very poor quality, often defrosted and certainly not fresh. 2) The service at the restaurant is chaotic. Lots of staff running around with no clear system. 3) Main dining hall feels more like a school canteen. 4) There is a restaurant where you can pay extra and the food is better, but service still lacking and often small portion sizes. 5) The beach hut (by the main pool) serves substandard food for a 5* hotel (expect only burgers and pizzas). 6) We ordered two strawberry daquiris and were served iced strawberry from the slush puppy machine. The barman said he could just 'add rum' if we wanted a daquiri! Unacceptable. 7) Rooms were ok, good size but v small tv and nothing in the mini fridge 8) You'll need a car, remote part of the island! 9) Hotel still under renovation

This is a nice resort for those who want a nice experience, whilst having the flexibility of meal plans, facilities and location. The staff were really helpful and always had a smile!! They teied their utmost best to make sure you had a great stay, and if it did go wrong, they were quick to reaolve things in the best way possible. Food quality was really good, however at times it did get repetitive. This was reailved again by a fdw simple request, which the staff were more than happy to help with. This extends to the dinner aswell. The buffet has theme nights for cuisines, thus avoiding repetition on mains and salads. However desserts were generic and much tye same theoughout. It would've been even better if the desserts followed the theme also. But, this could be due to wastage and other more relevant reasons, hence wasn't a big deal for my wife & I. Some staff were incredible - Dinson (manager), diksha (receptionist), Lukhoo (chef), Sheetal (buffet assistant, John & the other waiters/waitresses were really amazing in helping us with our dietary needs, and Lukhoo especially is an incredibly gifted chef! Room cleaning was decent, with the odd time we had to request something. The rooms themselves could've been better if the doors were properly sealed. We used to find ants and the odd gecko which decided to make its home inside ours. Overall, my wife & I had a great stay at the Outrigger and we would certainly consider returning.

The property is amazing, unfortunately there’s not much around.

Overall a very good experience - most of all due to the fantastic staff of Outrigger. So so service minded and everyone took really good care of us! This was absolutely the best service we have experienced in Mauritius. Buffet food could definitely have been better, the changed the menu every evening, but it really look the same, tasted the same and overall reminded me of Indian food (nothing wrong with that) - 14 days with same food is a long time. The hotel has a restaurant down by the sea, it was good and the chef Ashok really came through and made us special dishes and it was amazing. In the day, there could be more children menu from the bar, but on.

This place could have been 5* but long time ago. I stayed at 4 different hotels during the last 20 days, and this was on the edge of a 3-4* star. Rooms need renovation. Some pictures attached. Service mediocre, one poor guy for all pool area all days, no beeping solution to order etc. Not fresh bread at breakfast at all days, wifi at room sometimes not working. Espresso at breakfast came from a machine (undrinkable) I can go on with more details, but as a summary, do not book if you really want a 5* experience. Some area of the resort seemed to be quite empty, or desserted, never reached the pavilion area. Spa was under renovation and in general this resort was not a good experience for us. Please put some more lights in the rooms ! ceiling lights or something !

A beautiful beach and great options for pools, especially loved Plantation Club where afternoon tea is a must. The Edgewater Restaurant is excellent and Bar Bleu good for casual meals though options limited. The spa treatments were great.
