One & Only Le Saint Geran
Pointe de Flacq, Belle Mare, Mauritius
Pros
Spacious room complete with amenities
Great food
Cons
Slightly old structure
Quite remote location
My boyfriend and I have just come home from a wonderful 10-day stay at the Le Saint Geran. We were there to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary and though the hotel is located quite far on the east coast, I can say that our stay was still fabulous and very memorable.
We got a Junior Suite, which was not only big for both of us but also well-equipped. The style and décor were not to my taste (looks old) but despite of that, the room felt cozy and homey. Our bed was huge and comfortable; the pillows were also soft and fluffy. We got a bedside table with a phone, a work desk, a walk-in wardrobe full of hangers, a full-length mirror, shoe brush and horn and hair dryer. The bathroom was stylish, had a big shower and separate toilet. We were provided with scented candles, bath oils and salts for a romantic dip in the tub as well as complimentary silk robes and slippers. There is also a cabinet where the fridge was and where the complimentary bottled water and other kitchen items were located. The mini-kitchen had a complimentary bucket of ice, kettle, fruit, knife & plate for fruit, coffee, tea, sugar and milk. Everything we needed was already provided for. Some little things that we also appreciated were the plug-in insect repellent which shows how much they really care for their guests and the terrace which, however small, gives a fascinating view of the beach. Our stay became even more relaxing when we tried their spa services.
Breakfast and dinner were inclusive in our package, both menus had a wide selection of food items and were tasty. Breakfast can be eaten by the beach which we thought was amazing. The beverage and wine were quite expensive though so we only had wine every other night of our stay. There was nightly entertainment which we enjoyed for the first few days but got boring in the latter part of our stay.
As you may notice, I cannot really find fault in this hotel. Though we haven’t really maximized everything it had to offer, LSG is one great hotel and we will be back as soon as opportunity allows, this has to be difficult to beat for holidays in Mauritius.
