Radisson Blu Azuri Resort and Spa, Mauritius

Rude behavior noticed from the security staff near entrance  with local guest, this was informed to reception staff

Wonderful waiting staff, couldn’t do enough for you. Lunch time lacked vegetarian food but the waiters asked the chef to make me a dish which was delicious but again a total lack of choice. The rooms were clean but there were holes in the bedlinen and other rooms had a turn down service but we didn’t. There is building work taking place so disrupting while sunbathing. The hotel got very busy in the evening which meant a lack of seating on the patio in the evening. Live music every night but a few acts were far better than others ( DJ needs to be sacked) Reception staff can arrange any excursion you would want as there was no first choice help or rep. The gym was great and exercise classes were great. Yoga, Pilates to name but a few. Taxis from the resort were not cheap but the drivers were good. Drinks seemed to be very weak but I didn’t mind that. Shop on site was very expensive so go to the town to get essentials such as sun cream. don’t shop there if you can. ( small bottle of sun cream £20) There was a lovely cat on the grounds which tried to catch the mouse running around the bar, and a couple of dogs on the beach but again friendly. Beach is unsuitable for snorking but a free boat trip is available if spaces are free. Lots of rocks in the sea area so take beach shoes a couple of cockroaches in the room but again to be expected. Vinnay was great and the 5 island trip is a must and a private trip can be arranged. Again not cheap but worth it. (£344 for 2 in 4 were going) You must go take advantage of doing the free platform boat trip where you can snorkel, but take your own snorkel. You can literally walk around the reef as the water is shallow but mind the sea urchins. Again water shoes are a must.

All the staff from the reception to the restaurant were amazingly genuine and not for the sake of it they all went out of their way to treat me as family and not just a guest. Rahul, Mahesh, Josh, Dev, Patrice and Shreya to name a few were exceptional. Nisha and Vij from Coquille Bonheur were outstanding as well especially Vij who did a special ceremony for my late wife Pre giving her a amazing sending off ceremony Thank you from the bottom of my heart it came as a total surprise.It was really lovely and overwhelming for me. Thank you Nisha for suggesting Vij. Thank you to everyone who made my stay so amazing you are not just stars but shining stars . THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU

It's a good hour and 45 mins from the airport. And windy on the East Coast. Due to the wind whilst the resort offers many activities, kayaking, paddle boarding etc...we managed once out in kayaks and only swam once in the sea. This obviously isn't the hotels fault but something to be mindful of. We had junior suites with private pools which were delightful, well worth the money and good to be away from the breeze of the beach and the pool. The buffet restaurant was lovely with a great variety of food but staying longer than a week and the themes start again. The restaurant and bar staff were excellent and go out of their way to make sure you have good service. The cleaner , Kavita, was amazing, nothing was too much trouble for her and she made sure we were looked after well. Thank you. The gym is well.equiped and there is a further pool which is sheltered for lane swimming. The spa is beautiful and the treatments that we had we great and not too overly priced. The hotel has a shuttle service to local markets and also to the golf club. The course is great and the Nine restaurant is in a lovely setting .and the food excellent. Massive portions, so worth sharing starters!!! Overall, this is a lovely resort with great staff who are polite and helpful at all times.

A little recap from my stay at the Radisson Blu, Azuri. This has been so far the best hotel vacation that i ever encountered from the moment we checked in with my best friend till our departure. Mr Vinay, Sheel and Adarsh who have been great people to help us with the check in and accompanied us to our room which did not disappoint as the view was breathtaking. The room was so fresh and clean making us not wanting to leave at all. At the restaurant and bar they all made us feel comfortable for dinner, breakfast and lunch but thanks to the restaurant manager, Dev, Suraj, Luvish without forgetting Josh, the one bringing joy to the table. The food was really delicious and well Presented. There has been two incredible butlers namely Vashish and Krishna. They made sure we were comfortable and didn’t lack anything. There is also madame Kavita with her positive aura. Overall all the staff membes were really welcoming. Definitely a place to recommend.
