Sofitel Imperial Mauritius

Pros: Evening happy hour at the lobby bar
Cons: Restaurants were too expensive ( min. of $35 USD for 1 entree)

My husband and I stayed at the Hilton Mauritius in September 2003 and we were very disappointed. There were only 3 restaurants and all were very overpriced. Only one restaurant( the buffet) was open for dinner on Sundays. In the morning, the fruit was not covered at the buffett so there were birds sitting on the fruit plates as you went to get your meal.

Pros: Beautiful setting, excellent service and great house keeping. Plenty of activities
Cons: Unimpressed with massage at Spa. Sand quite grainy to walk on; esp in the sea.

We just came back from 1 week at Hilton Mauritius and had great time. Re the last comment from Sept 03, the hotel has now put covers on all food at the buffet, so no more bird sitting on food experience.

We really enjoyed the excellent services at the hotel overall. Great house keeping - you really notice they went an extra mile to keep your room very nice when you return both in the morning and the evening cleaning service. When sun bathing in the morning, someone would come around with bottle of mineral water and glass of ice; at lunch time we also loved the bite size snack they bought around to each of us.

The staff were extremely polite and friendly at the same time. They looked after us very well.
