Sofitel Mauritius L'Imperial Resort & Spa

The accommodations were wonderful. Ocean view room. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Service was great. Food selection at buffet breakfast and dinner was extensive. Very good. Adult pool beautiful and quiet. Beach was not white sandy as we expected. Water shoes needed in ocean.

Only like the bar staff by the beach

We visited the resort with our 2 kids, came from Turkey and stayed there for 4 happy days. The resort has a vintage beauty. We arrived there early, after a long, exhausting flight, but, the hotel was full and they couldn't give us a room before 15:00. However, they were kind and sincere and tried their best to help us. We tried the main restaurant and the snacks restaurant by the pool. Breakfasts were accompanied by beautiful birds and dinners by mystical frog sounds. Food options were mostly spicy, a little different for our taste but we didn't struggle finding options, more importantly, for the kids. They were very helpful changing the listed menu item and preparing foods according to our taste. My husband once had allergic symptoms, but the staff was very helpful, and stayed alert to bring us to the hospital quickly in case of an emergency. I wouldn't say that they were extremely professional because, in a place full of coconut trees, they said they "may" provide it only after 3-4 days. The pool was perfect for kids, the sand was beautiful; while you are chilling, kids can play safe and free. The boutiques were also nice with honest sellers. We stayed in a villa, upper floor, the garden was dreamy (but saw a dead bird not taken for days). Our room was beautiful, moderately clean, bathrooms were tired, the main bed was comfy but the sofa bed was NOT. Bottled waters provided once and should be filled using fountains (kids loved it). Overall, it was a nice experience for us.

Spent 4 nights here in August with my teen daughter and had the most amazing time. Beaches and pools were regularly cleaned. We used the heated pool which was comfortable. A jacuzzi would be a great add on! Boat house activities were great, recommended to book when you arrive as well as the restaurants if you are not doing half or full board. Breakfast variety was very good and replenished well. Service was great and there was no language barrier at all. Rooms were clean with modern amenities. Toilets were in a separate cubicle than the shower (probably a French influence thing) so washing hands was a bit of a hassle but it reduces bathroom traffic lol. Small point but relevant. Also I felt there could have been more activities. Overall it was a wonderful resort and would love to return for a week long relaxing stay.
