"This hotel is not comparable to other options in Mauritius for the price - it is of much lower quality than the price and photos suggest. The level of attention to detail is poor. Rooms are not cleaned properly with hard to reach places gathering cobwebs, the bathrooms are old and tired, and there is a general lack of attention to detail throughout such as not having mosquito screens and not having the AC on for when you check in. The staff are nice but their initial reaction is always to say no to your request, before then attempting to accommodate you, a small point perhaps but when added together with the other factors you really start to notice it. You can find much better value for money elsewhere. Key point to note is that every night they have an extremely loud show/performance until late where you can hear the music no matter where you are in the hotel - this vibe will suit some people but others looking for a quiet time should avoid. All in all it reminded me of a premium hostel rather than a hotel, not what we were expecting for the price."
"The hotel overal is beautiful. The food and amenities were amazing as well. The staff who help with luggage and the front desk were very helpful and stopped at nothing to ensure you had the best stay. The waiters in the restaurants however need more training. They take a very longtime to bring drinks or off any help often bringing the wrong order. This would not have been an issue if it were once or twice. But it was all the time at all the restaurants. Often no one ever comes to your table to see what you want to order. But everything else was amazing."
"Trust strongly advice to stay . Feels like heaven. No word to describe. Best ever. Food, drink, nice weather, close to airport, close to the beach. Great great great🙏👍"

Hotel Riu Palace Mauritius - All Inclusive - Adults Only
6/10 Okay
"Quality of property did not match the price, the food was terrible, the WiFi was shoddy, and there were no blankets on the bed — only sheets — so we were cold all night. We came from Lux Le Morne, which was truly luxurious, and the difference in quality was stark. This is the second Riu I’ve stayed at and the first was similar, so I’m inferring that this is just the brand and will not try another one."
