THE OBEROI BEACH RESORT

Best Hotel we have stayed at. Incredible service, food and rooms. The staff made our honeymoon special. Thanks!

We are currently in this hotel and no doubt it is a fantastic welcoming tranquil hotel. We were little
As first we were Sceptical as didn’t know what to expect just read the reviews and seen that the service and food was good and we booked it.
I can tell you this The photos on social media or on their website is not showing the whole garden enough. Both polls look small in the photos they are actually quite big.
We are staying in garden view room and the sounds of the birds is so blissful. The whole area is huge. Walking in the garden and on the beach is so enjoyable.
There is some open buffet style breakfast options which is mostly fruits and pastries the actual breakfast is selected from the menu and cooked for you which is delicious.
Beach is not big as mentioned on some reviews but it’s very clean no seaweeds etc. however if you are a good swimmer you can swim few meters away from the beach and there is plenty of sea .
We would highly recommend you to book the south tour from the hotel their driver is local and knows everything about the island and the places we have visited.
You can also book a heli tour from the hotel they are using Corail helicopters.
You really see that every member of staff putting an effort to make things right for you.
So difficult to mentionne names here as they all engage with you from reception to house keeping.they even asked if we have preferred fruits so that you can put those in our room.
Just pack your suitcase (noo need for beach bag, beach towels or flip flops) all these provided by the hotel.
This hotel is very private and perfect place to re connect with your inner self and the nature. If you are after tranquility perfect place to spend your holiday

I am generally suspicious when reviews mention only good points and give 5 stars, but I must say our 5 nights stay was nothing short but perfect.
The location and landscaping of the hotel is amazing, and the limited number of rooms with small villas made it so much more cozy than large international resorts. The gardens are extremely well looked after, and there were no insects or crawlies that I really don’t like. Only a few cute lizards here and there, and those beautiful giant bats far above at night.
The rooms are very large (and we went for the normal ones) and very well equipped, with a view on the garden and the sea, just perfect to open the curtains in the morning.
The beaches are not huge but very nice and well supplied with lounge chairs and thatch umbrellas. One nice touch is the button on the umbrella to cal for a waiter when you need anything.
The sea is very clean and ideal for snorkelling. The pools are very big (much bigger than they seem on the website photos) and very beautiful (you must watch the sunset from the beach or pools).
The restaurants are just incredible. Both the main restaurant, or the alfresco grill. We have been in a few 5 stars resorts, and here the chefs are playing in another league. BTW I wouldn’t recommend the half board option, as we ended up with a similar price all in all including the drinks, while in the half board option they are not. Plus we could choose which restaurant we wanted every night. To be honest, I never thought Indian fusion food could be that good and not burning spicy. Kudos to Sumita we did the cooking classes with :)

The service is also incredible. I can not remember the name of the staff members we interested with, but all are extremely helpful, humble, genuinely smiling and really doing the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. From the waiters at the restaurant or at the bar (they gave us a l’an improvised rhum tasting session for my birthday), the cleaning staff, and also the water sport instructors. I must also name Vinay our amazing driver, so kind and knowledgeable about the island and it’s history.
I would highly recommend the helicopter tour to see the underwater waterfall, the south island car tour with Vinay, the tai chi (Henrio was so didactic and patient as we were beginners), the star gazing and the cooking class. Snorkelling was also very nice with a lot of fishes (even though Maldives was better). The other activities might also be good but we ran out of time.
We were not sure when we picked this hotel, as there are many other hotels on the island, but this was an absolute bulls eye.
If we come again in Mauritius (and we probably will if we can as the island has a lot to offer) we will definetly choose the Oberoi resort. I am now even curious about the other hotels from the same chain.
I *loved* it

Its an amazing resort. Absolutely worth it. The location is perfect, amazing. The food is also great. Staff is very hospitable.

Let me start by saying this has been a splendid stay in the beautiful Mauritian sanctuary “ The Oberoi”!

1. Checkin and checkout were seamless which exactly what you’d expect of the luxury resort.

2. The service and the people are the genuine secret to what gives this resort an edge over another luxury 5star hotel we stayed in Mauritius before.

The reason I say that is that we were celebrating our honeymoon in our first stay at Mauritius in FS Anahita and everything went well but no one did anything extra to make our stay special, but here literally everyone from room service, yoga team, breakfast crew, dinner crew, duty managers, chefs, and general manager ensured that we were pampered!

I will mention couple of names but I simply couldn’t mention the entire resort

1. Prakash, for his lively demeanor and laser-focus on clients’ satisfaction

2. Chef Singh for his lovely sage advice on food, tips and secrets to a healthy diet!

3. Chef Sanju( grill master!) and chef Anish for their amazing generosity with us on several occasions.

4. Shaan, Oomar, Rohan, Aum, Prathan, Rohan, and Nivish and many more members of the crew!

5. Last but not least, Executive Chef Tomas for his overall oversight and designing such a refined food experience for all the residents, no matter what their dietary restrictions are. The menus change every couple of days with options for vegetarian, pescatarian, meat-lovers, and virgin fresh drinks for everyone.

6. Great variety of free activities like snorkeling, yoga classes, star gazing, evening walks, sculpture and cooking classes as well.

7. The facilities and pools were well maintained despite being one of the first luxury resorts on the island.

My advice try to book the herb trail dinner experience and it is a must for anyone that loves slow cooked meat.

In a nutshell, if you want superior service, genuine hospitality, traveling as a couple for special event, or with your family that makes you feel like you are part of their generous extended one, then this is your place! We will definitely be coming again and making the Oberoi our new fav luxury hotel brand.
