È stata un'esperienza straordinaria, addirittura superiore alle aspettative. L'hotel è un vero gioiello: poche camere, un'atmosfera intima, estremamente pulito e curato in ogni dettaglio. Si ha la sensazione di essere a casa, il che contribuisce a creare un ambiente molto rilassante. Il ristorante è altrettanto raffinato, con un'atmosfera romantica e una vista mozzafiato sul mare: assistere al tramonto mentre si cena è un'esperienza che difficilmente dimenticheremo. Un ringraziamento speciale a tutto il personale, sempre gentile e sorridente, in particolare alla Sig.ra Emily e allo Chef Jonathan, che ci ha deliziato con le sue prelibatezze. Consiglio vivamente questa struttura a chiunque voglia visitare Mauritius: si trova in una posizione ideale, a breve distanza dalle principali attrazioni e dalle spiagge più belle.

Recouping break after long flight

We loved the hotel’s position right on the beach. The staff were very friendly. But could be better with just a few tweaks, like some chairs need cushions on. Less time waiting for orders to be taken and food did take a while sometimes. Rooms were good but being an older couple the stairs were an issue for us as there is no lift. We would stay again if we come back here to see our son as it was a nice break to recuperate after a long flight.

Disappointed

Les appréciations sont faites en rapport au prix payé pour la prestation, franchement cher payé. À ce niveau de prix les prestations dans d’autres hôtels sont meilleures , vraiment! L’accueil n’est pas chaleureux , les 2 nuits réveillés de 4 à 7h par les chiens ( bon ça c’est Maurice en général mais bon là vraiment bcp) La nourriture n’est pas exceptionnelle. Désolé mais je suis franc et j’espère cela servira aux clients hôtel.com et aussi amélioration pour le patron.

Very pleasant, but perhaps overpriced

Rooms are pleasant with simple, clean design in muted colours. Bed and pillows are comfortable. I took a standard room and was given room 12-- I think it may be the smallest and least inspiring in the hotel with no view at all. I think/hope other rooms with balconies might have been better. The "beach" is very small. People were laying on sun beds but no one seemed to be swimming. This area seems to be mostly for boat tethering/launching. The pool was also quite small. The casual restaurant is very pleasant, with a view right on the water Nice non-alcoholic drinks (not all sweet) and a fun tapas menu. Guests can easily walk to the main road which has restaurants and some shops within one or two km. I highly recommend nearby Bistrot de la Poste restaurant--- one of the best meals I had in Mauritius. Overall, I enjoyed this hotel. It's not really a beach hotel, more of an urban hotel on the water's edge, but after days at secluded resorts, I liked having an adjacent neighbourhood to explore. However, I do feel my stay was not worth the over 200 USD I paid. As mentioned above, my room had no view. Amenities in the room were very basic: no face cloth/towel, no lotion, no beauty kit with cotton pads etc. And the vibe killer for me was the fact that they charge $20 (90 rupees) for each cup of coffee that guests make FOR THEMSELVES in their room. It's not about the money, but it's in bad taste to charge for such a thing when the guest has paid so much for the room.

Disappointing Stay at The Bay

We stayed at The Bay for 3 nights as part of a longer vacation. Unfortunately, the service was lacking, the staff were unhelpful and misleading, and their English skills were limited. On day 3, after placing the cleaning request sign on our door, our room was finally cleaned. However, upon our return, we found that neither the toilet nor the shower had been properly cleaned, and the dirty towels were still on the floor. This was especially frustrating as our room had not been cleaned at all on day 2, despite the request sign being displayed. The food in the restaurant is decent, but you quickly become dependent on it since there are no real dining alternatives in the surrounding area.

Quando abbiamo deciso di visitare Mauritius abbiamo cercato un hotel bello, con ristorante (che avesse anche opzioni vegane), fosse fronte spiaggia e avesse il bar. Non volevamo i classici resort sent'anima e con mille altri ospiti, ma una atruttura di alto livello con un numero.limitato.di stanze.Il The Bay è stata la nostra fortunata scelta e si è rivelato ancora meglio del previsto. La struttura è splendida e pulitissima, i servizi ottimi, il.personale davvero gentile, la cucina incredibile e il servizio bar aperto da mattina a sera. Ha lettini e ombrelloni in spiaggia e dal ristorante e dalla zona piscina si gode in un tramonto che toglie il fiato. La musica viene spenta alle 23 e non è mai alta, quindi non disturba il riposo degli ospiti. Esternamente c'è un parcheggio custodito, anche se ci sono pochi posti. La zona è comoda anche per raggiungere a piedi altri ristoranti. Tornerei sicuramente al The Bay perchè ci siamo trovati benissimo.
