Coin de Mire Attitude

Guests appreciate the varied, delicious breakfast and cleanliness of spacious, well-maintained rooms. The friendly staff, prime beach location, and excellent amenities make for a pleasant stay.

The hotel has the amenities applicable to its 3 star rating however lacks hygiene & good service. Our room was spacious with good washing facilities but had a shortage of clean insect free storage for clothing it would benefit from a deep clean. We were located away from the pool so didn’t attract the noise from that however it was close to the busy road & noisy. The main restaurant is mostly buffet service & can be extremely frustrating with serving platters often left empty without replenishment. There was a lack of regular monitoring of food levels & when empty platters were reported, there was still delay in their replenishment whilst food was prepared. Quality hotel buffets have staff checking levels & preparing food in anticipation of a refill. The food choices were reasonable, when available but some lacked flavour & quality. Service in the restaurant & bar areas was often very slow & haphazard. Staff were regularly seen congregating in groups & lacked peripheral awareness of waiting customers & some lacked knowledge of basic waiting skills We addressed this with supervisory staff several times & received the same response, ‘it’s only their second day’. This apparent training on the job might explain some of the poor service issues. The majority of staff were friendly although some were surly & others looked unhappy in their environment. We found the All Inclusive option irritating. Instead of perhaps some form of (environmentally friendly) wrist band to identify those with the AI package, guests give their orders to staff who write on a carbonated pad & when a guest leaves they have to sign for their orders on an itemised (zero balance) receipt. We found we often had to wait for the ‘bill’ to be prepared & delivered instead of just leaving when we wanted to. This rather outdated method appears to suit the hotel’s administration rather than favour their guests. It also creates considerable paper & ink wastage by the hotel. We also observed a fair amount of unnecessary paper usage by reception staff on a daily basis. Somewhat inefficient & hypocritical I feel due to the hotel’s regular mentioning of their ‘eco’ credentials Bedrooms have a mini fridge described as a ‘mini bar’ for AI guests. However guests have to stock this themselves from the hotel’s shop. Something we’ve never experienced before. Neither have we experienced tea & coffee being loose in paper bags.The milk is powdered & also in a paper bag. According to the hotel this saves waste and promotes an eco friendly environment. In my opinion it’s cost cutting by the hotel & unhygienic, (with staff handling the teabags to count a few out to each bag-as witnessed by us). Many hotels around the world contribute to an eco friendly environment and still supply their guests with quality and sterile tea/coffee making facilities. The shop was at the opposite end of the resort which meant having to make inconvenient journeys to stock each day. This provided the shop had some sto

Our family stayed in the Coin de Mire Attitude Hotel in Mauritius and from our arrival late Saturday evening we had excellent service and helpful staff. There was a variety food choices at breakfast and dinner and everything we tasted was delicious. The water sports available on the beach inclusive with the hotel stay from the glass bottom boat, snorkeling, SUP and Pedalo were all well enjoyed. We hired the catamaran for day trip to the islands and this was a highlight, we enjoyed the beaches and a delicious lunch on board and snorkeling. Some tips are that the bus service comes right past the hotel and is super cheap and reliable - can take you from the north to Port Louis in just over an hour. Take your water flask as the hotel has numerous water fountains and you can access cold water which is drinkable. This is super helpful. Do the cooking course which is free of charge and you get to eat your efforts. Try the Mauritian cuisine it is super tasty. Lunch is available at the Taba J restaurant near the hotel pools and Yash is super helpful and he makes the most divine tamarind juice and lemonade and the dhal pourri is a must! We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back!
