The Alexander Hotel started offering room accommodation services around Sep 2021. The hotel is decorated with crystal lamps, oil paint furnishings and decoration style. The restaurant and hotel lobby are carefully thought out. Walking into the hotel is like being in a palace. Check in was quick and the staff was very polite.

This time purchased a package $7xx, welcome drink, double stay one night with semi-buffet breakfast, a relaxing staycation. New hotel, this price this kind of enjoyment, really great value.  

No matter what time of day or night or any season, the seaside is synonymous with romance!

Last week my mother came to visit me in Mauritius and just before she left to come back in Switzerland I took the opportunity to visit the Mauritius Glass Gallery to buy a gift for my brother: the famous glass of Phoenix, the most famous local beer in Mauritius. The Mauritius Glass gallery is located in Phoenix, a town in the Plaines Wilhems district, the central part of the island. The island is not big so whether you are in the north, south, east or west you will always arrive at the big roundabout of Phoenix and you will immediately realize that you almost arrived because there is always traffic there (I advise you to avoid rush hours because the road is literally BLOCKED). Once you arrive at the roundabout, you will see the huge building of the Phoenix Beverages, at that point follow the road signs to go south (The South / Curepipe) immediately after leaving the roundabout, you should take the second street on your left where you will notice already marked MGG (Mauritius Glass Gallery). #museumquest#summervacation#hikingtrails

completely different from the numerous temples in Mauritius— is the infamous Notre Dame Auxiliatrice Chuch (aka: the Red Roof Chapel) located on the northern tip of the island. The Roman Catholic church is located right by to ocean, and the contrast of the red roof and blue waters make for a very picturesque spot to visit. Hinduism is the most popular religion in Mauritius— giving the country the highest percentage of Hindus in all of Africa. The bright, bold colors, ornate details, and rich cultural significance of this temple makes it a must-see to better understand Mauritian culture and appreciate the faith and dedication of Hindus on the island. #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Mauritius is a compact country, roughly the same size as Tokyo, Japan 🇲🇺. Its main industry is tourism, which takes full advantage of its rich natural environment 🌊🌳. Visitors can enjoy activities like diving and animal watching. Additionally, Mauritius is famous for its local specialties such as rum and sugar 🍸✨. The capital, Port Louis, features shopping areas, making it a small yet enjoyable destination ✨. Above all else... the stunning sea 🥹🌊✨. The emerald blue waters are truly breathtaking 🏝️. It was so soothing that I wanted to keep gazing at it forever ✨. As a beach resort popular even in Japan 🏖️, it’s definitely a must-visit❣️

Mauritius, a beautiful country I once visited and lived in. The same blue skies and blue seas. Visiting once brings wonder and admiration. Visiting multiple times brings comfort and ease. Visiting for months brings a sense of emotion and habit. Visiting for years brings a sense of love, and I think this is true love. Though, even now, I'm still not ready to leave her. I think that even after returning to work in China, for a long time to come, a part of my heart will still linger between these white clouds and the azure sea. This Indian Ocean, filled with a blue elegance yet a touch of melancholy and mystery. Late at night, I drift in and out of sleep. The youthful years of my overseas assignments and my many first experiences in life come flooding back to my mind. Many people, events, and experiences, along with the joys and sorrows of life. It seems like yesterday. If I hadn't actually lived here, I imagine my feelings about this beautiful island would be as wonderful as those of a trip abroad. Thinking back on those little moments of life, those seemingly insignificant moments, those unexpected encounters, I'm truly moved. Just like first love, perhaps immature, it remains forever irreplaceable in everyone's heart. Six years ago, we resolutely decided to move our family to a distant country to make a living. Six years later, I will bring back these beautiful memories and cherish them. I salute our family's courage in being stationed abroad together, and lament the youth we wanted to keep but couldn't. #Mauritius
