"When I landed, the shuttle was relatively easy to find, and I didn’t have to wait very long for it to turn up. The ride to the property was super quick, as it’s very conveniently located to MRU - around 5 minutes drive. Checkin was fast, and efficient and the lady at the front desk was lovely and seemed genuinely happy to be there. In my post flight haze, I forgot to take a note of her name. That being said, all the staff I interacted with were really nice people. The rooms are a decent size, and there was decent water pressure and plenty of hot water. The buffet breakfast was plentiful and delicious. There’s always a temptation to gorge oneself on the wide array of food provided but I restrained myself. I’d definitely stay there again should the need arise. "

"We spent 8 nights in this beautiful resort with our extended family. Had a great time! The rooms are spacious and the hotel location is great. The food at all restaurants was really delicious. The only negative aspect is the service at the main patio restaurant and at the pool. Had to wait a lot and always had mistakes in our food/drinks orders. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay.

"We were shown so much care, kindness and attention throughout our stay. Every team member: reception, admin, restaurant, kitchen, maintenance and cleaning were consistently friendly, helpful and professional. They worked hard and always had a smile on and enquired about our experience each time. The location was perfect: just a five‑minute walk to a beautiful part of the Flic en Flac lagoon, ideal for early‑morning swims and snorkelling. Breakfast was varied and generous, with cooked options, pastries, breads, cheeses and plenty of tropical fruits, plus extras like boiled eggs, pancakes and omelettes. Dinner changed nightly with cultural themes; I especially enjoyed the vegetables, salads, calamari and desserts. A few small improvements would help: boiling water at breakfast for tea, better coffee and water jugs at dinner. Rooms were cleaned daily, towels and beach towels replaced and the shower had good water pressure. Tea‑making facilities and a small fridge in the room were very convenient. The free carpark and on‑site gym were great bonuses. Good Wi‑Fi throughout and fun Sega dancing during the week added to the experience. Quiet, peaceful and welcoming — we made real connections with the staff and will definitely return. Thank you Aanari for taking great care of us. Bonne continuation. From Vancouver Island, Canada "

"Loved my stay here. It was only for 2 nights, but it was pleasant. The dinner and breakfast buffet were great, had everything I wanted. I loved spending time in the recreational space, playing table tennis and reading up on Sega culture in Mauritius. Room was great, a little on the small side, but the balcony made up for it. Staff were helpful in bringing bags up to the room and arranging transportation to a tour the day of our flight. Would gladly stay here again."

"La Pirogue is one of the loveliest hotels in the world! A well-balanced mix of laid-back island charm, with professionalism, friendliness, fun activities and the best hotel food you will find anywhere (mix of authentic local and themed international, always something for everyone and a classy pastry section straight out of Paris!). The grounds are picturesque and immaculate, whilst the staff are amazingly friendly and attentive. Cannot recommend La Pirogue highly enough! "

"The overall experience was not good because of too many trainees, which caused low efficiency and mistakes."

"The staff were very friendly, there was never a time that you were not greeted by a staff member no matter what there role was there. We felt so welcome! "

"Great staff, the So Sofitel brand is consistently good, oh and no late check out charge, always a nice touch not to feel 'fleeced' when the room is most likely unoccupied until long after we"ve left. "
