Coin de Mire Attitude

Love this hotel! We checked out yesterday after an 11 night stay. The staff here are excellent. Special mention to Jay, Yash and Shubnam, as well as the Chef at Kot Nou whose name we didn't catch. Buy everyone is friendly and efficient. The hotel is beautiful, and the beach is stunning. Great all inclusive package with watersports included as well as being able to eat and drink before checkin and after checkout. I was happy to be able to actually stand on the SUP first time and would never have tried it if it wasn't included. We also did a catamaran trip which was great though it rained a bit and crossing was choppy, wouldnt recommend if you get seasick! We had a lovely massage at the spa too. The rooms are spacious and always cleaned well. The bed is a bit hard but not an issue for us, the aircon in our room wasn't very powerful, though again not a massive issue as it wasn't super hot. Great wildlife in the grounds, lizards, pretty birds and even a fruit bat one night. The stray cats and beach dogs are looked after. The food was generally good, occasionally some things had gotten a bit too cool but they also serve fresh food at the back which is always great. We really enjoyed Taba J and Kot Nou especially having something special made for us on our second visit to Kot Nou. Plenty of drinks choice. The no single use plastic policy is great, and we also did a short beach clean which is a really good thing to do, though I don't think many guests do it. The hotel is quiet and chilled (mostly!) with more French guests than other nationalities but that was no issue since everyone is bilingual. I liked getting our minibar stuff from the shop. The only slight niggle would be the confusing situation with the shower and toilets by the reception which could be managed better. Tip would be to let people in with the key rather than leave open, and if you're using them do call out before entry! There isn't much around the hotel, a couple of tiny shops about 10 mins walk then Perybere is another 15 min walk..the bus is super cheap though slightly alarming! We went on trips to the South which were amazing especially feeding the tortoises at Vanille park, Charmerel waterfall, and the statues at Grand Bassin definitely a must see. Mauritius is stunning and the hotel is excellent.
