HARMONY MOSS
The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius

One of the most stunning hotels we have ever stayed in and with such beautiful friendly staff. My husband and I travel over the world and have stayed in luxury hotels in Bali, the Maldives and Singapore, to name a few locations. We enjoy good quality food and enjoy adult focused hotels. The Oberoi in Mauritius was up there with one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The positives: - The staff could not do more to help you, they are friendly and attentive, yet will leave you in peace if that's what you prefer. - The hotel grounds are absolutely stunning. The winding paths amongst a beautiful established planted garden with flowers and trees is relaxing and stunning. It made the short walk to breakfast every morning a delight. - Each room is an individual villa with a Balinese theme, so no big block of hotel rooms. The villa's are large, spacious with a huge 4 poster bed, walk-in wardrobe and a large ensuite with both sunken marble bath and separate shower (even their cheaper room has all the mentioned facilities.). Each room has either its own patio with sun loungers looking out over the gardens and sea, or its own enclosed garden with a private pool (depending on your room budget). - There are two large pools (in addition to the villas with private pools). One pool is heated, the other is not but is still plenty warm enough to swim in. Both pools have staff who serve you to your sun lounger. They often come around with free treats of nuts, crisps, fruit and ice cream. - Location is quiet and at night there was no noise from nearby hotels or roads. - The restaurant food was phenomenal. No canteen buffet, instead all restaurants were a la carte dining with table service with great menu choices which changed throughout the week. There are several restaurant choices; The Restaurant, On The Rocks, The Gunpowder Room and The Herb Trail. - Hotel is on the coast with free water sports. We used the canoes one day to go along the coast, we used the SUP and also went on a short boat ride to see fish. There are lots of other activities we did not use. - The hotel put on free events throughout the day and evening such as a weekly champagne and canapes event with local cultural dance performance, star gazing, rum tasting, yoga... the list goes on. - It's not a hotel full of Instagram/social media posing wannabes! A huge bonus!! The negatives: - If you are after long white sandy beaches this is not the hotel for you. While there are several lovely beaches of yellow sand and access to the sea, the beaches are not this hotel's strongest feature. The beaches are nice and there are sun loungers on the beaches, but if you are after a beach holiday, I'd look elsewhere. For us, we are pool people who like the occasional dip in the sea, so this was not an issue for us. - If you like exploring on foot outside the hotel, there is very little/nothing within walking distance immediately around this hotel. That said the hotel will organise personal excursions or taxi's if you want to explore the island. But the secluded location is also why the hotel focuses on providing such a great choice of restaurants and food. - There is no 'all inclusive' but they do have 'half board' which includes all breakfast and evening meals. Drinks and lunch are extra. We would have a late breakfast and early dinner, so this again was never an issue for us. But for people who want to drink all day and to know their budget upfront, this might not be the hotel option for you. - Expensive.... but in my opinion worth every penny! Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. I was genuinely sad to leave. Book it! #Mauritius #Luxury
