stayed at Potosi Residence during a trip to Mauritius for my son’s open water swimming competition, and it turned out to be one of the best parts of the trip. The residence itself was clean, comfortable, and well located, but what truly made our stay memorable was the hospitality of the manager, Farhaan. From the moment we arrived, Farhaan went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He was attentive without being intrusive, quick to respond to every request, and genuinely invested in making sure we had everything we needed. With a tight competition schedule and early mornings, his flexibility and willingness to help with local recommendations, logistics, and small details made a real difference for us. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such warmth and sincerity. Farhaan treated us like guests in his own home rather than customers, and that kind of care doesn’t go unnoticed. We left feeling looked after and would happily return. Thank you, Farhaan, for the excellent support and hospitality. Highly recommended.

Price and quality

Not very clean floor and towels , but price for night you can almost close eyes and take your towels not so close to your body 😅

It’s serene and clean conveniently located near the road

The internet was really bad

Very central with lots of lovely restaurants, shops and the beach within walking distance. Room was very clean and comfortable.

What was not evident on the site when we booked is that the hotel is sister to the Palmiste, just around the corner. But this means the Potosi has hardly any staff on location and you have to walk to Palmiste for facilities such as breakfast or use of the pool. The concierge at check-in could did not explain any of this to us. There is seldom someone at reception if you want to ask something.
