Descubra sua estadia em Grand Baie

You need to manage your expectations when you book a stay at Oceans Villas. You might have watched the YouTube videos showing the hotel. But it's fair to say that these videos show the icing on the cake and not the core ingredients. If you saw two South Africans touring the hotel, be warned that they've shown the best parts and avoided showing the worst parts. It's a 3 star establishment. And that means you're going to have to put up with a property that was built circa 1980s. There were signs of wear and tear everywhere. As you walk through the front door, some parts of the villas needed a bit of filler and a lick of paint. Some of the furniture had seen better days and our shower door leaked every time we took a shower. But the villa was clean. The beds were comfortable and the villa had amenities that you wouldn't expect such as a safe, hair dryer and a microwave too. A bottle of mineral water was also provided on arrival and parking outside the villas was a nice touch. As for the grounds, the gardens are kept well. It's not going to blow you away but again it's 3 star. The swimming pool didn't look as clean as we'd like and we opted not to go for a dip. The cushions on the seats were littered with stains from previous guests spilling drinks and food. The beach was decent. The view out to the bay was spectacular and you certainly won't be disappointed. You can swim but when we stayed, the sea was choppy but that's not the hotel's problem. What's great about Oceans Villa is its position. You're only 5 minutes away in a car from the best public beaches. Namely Trou aux Biches, Mon Choisy, Pereybere and La Gaulette. So you're spoilt for choice. We'd like to praise the service at the hotel. The kitchen staff and serving staff were really accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment was particularly good, and you'll certainly be tapping your toes and most likely dancing. Lastly the food. One word MSG. There's a good selection of food but too much MSG added to the food. Every morning, we woke up to that awful salty taste on our tongues. So as you can gather there's some good parts to Oceans Villas but you're going to have to put up with some bad parts. if you're on a budget and happy to stay in a 3 star establishment where you can experience the beaches in the North, it's a good place to stay. Would we stay there again? I'd most likely opt for a self catering apartment. We felt for the money, we'd get better quality of facilities but then again we'd have to prepare our food.

The hotel is in need of a makeover, some of the fittings a little outdated. The pool is little more than a plunge pool though the setting is superb. The breakfast is average, so much so that whilst my wife went for breakfast most days I stayed in the room and just had yoghurts. The minibar doesn’t work and nothing is cold in it. There’s no room service menu though they allow outside deliveries for guests. That’s all the bad points. Now for the good points. The rooftop bar is relaxed and atmospheric, the sunsets there are sensational and the cocktails are superb. The service from the staff was incredible. Always helpful and informative and willing to go the extra mile to make you welcome and that makes up for the shortcomings of the actual building itself. Also the location close to Perrybere beach and a short taxi ride to Grand Baie is pretty good too, though it’s a long taxi ride from the airport.

The rooms are great, especially the fully equipped kitchen, which is better than hotel apartments in Europe, Australia, and South America. It is especially suitable for Chinese cuisine. The supermarket is next door. There are tofu, pepper, seafood, and meat. These ingredients are super good. It feels like a kid, it feels great. The people here are relatively prosperous, the people live a leisurely life, the common people play football next to them, and swim and chat by the sea. The climate is very good, much more comfortable than Australia and Thailand, not hot. The plants are lush, sitting on the balcony at night, and the breeze is blowing slowly. It is really Mark Twain who let people enter the dreamland. ”God created Mauritius, and then imitated it to create the Garden of Eden.”

Have breakfast with your feet in the sand and the ocean in front of you! If you want a place to relax the Seapoint Hotel is the place to go. We stayed 11 night in the hotel in the ocean view room and we really enjoyed it. The balcony ist nice and spacious with a good view of the ocean. The apartment was big enough and had everything you could wish for. Since there are only a small number of rooms the place ist very quiet and you have several options to enjoy the calm atmosphere. The infinity pool ist nice with a beautiful view of the ocean. Although the restaurant ist very atmospheric we mostly had breakfast and dinner at the beach area. It was terrific to sit there and enjoy the beach right in front of you. Another omelet or another tea? They will bring you all you need to your table at the beach. All are friendly and helpful. Three times a week there is live music at dinner time. Thursday night you will be invited for a cocktail at the beach with live music - very atmospheric, a very nice occasion to get in contact with others if you like. The beach is right in front of the hotel and there are very few people passing by. The sunrise ist to be seen right from there. The sunset can bee seen only five minutes away. The beach ist not very wide, but a great place to relax. If you want to have a bigger and busier beach then the Mon Choisy Beach is only 1 km from the hotel. If you want party you will like other hotels better. If you want a quiet place to relax, you will hardly find a better one. Friendly, comfortable, clean and very enjoyable.

The hotel is small but very clean. If you are a tourist who is just walking around, then you can consider it. It is accurate to say that it is a hotel, not a hotel, breakfast is very general, one person a piece of bread, not self-help, there is a parking lot, the location is not convenient for traveling in the northwest corner, not suitable for taking children small room
