L'Oiseau de l'Ocean Tourist Residence

Friendly staff and excellent atmosphere. Easy to get to the local attractions!

The good The hotel is clean and room very spacious with self catering facilities. The staff are friendly and the owner even better. He was very accommodated with us when we had 3 rooms booked for me, my wife and 2 teenage daughters but were separated around the hotel. As we wanted to be together, he rearranged the rooms so that we could be together the following days. Another day, he accepted for his kitchen staff to cook our pasta because the little convector hot plate didn’t work with a metal saucepan😂 He also arrange at a reasonable cost for us stay in 1 room on the last day as we had an evening flight but had to leave at 10am. The free shuttle to the beach or local shopping centre was good and very welcome as there is no amenities around the hotel. The included breakfast is basic but good enough (especially on crêpe days😂) The laundry service was also welcome, especially for long stays. The not so good We had a wooden hut/canopy being built/renovated just outside our rooms from 10am everyday But i understand that a hotel open all year round has to do some improvement at some point. The main pool was being retiled and my teenage daughters didn’t want to go there because for the workmen and tools around. The bathroom and kitchen tap don’t supply hot water, which makes it difficult to shave or do the washing up. We had a hole with one of our bathroom tile with constant 1000s of tiny midges (ants style) going back & forward to the window. Again, i understand that Mauritius is tropical and this can happen anywhere but try to explain that to 2 town teenage girls lol. So minor negative points that did affect our stay at this very quiet hotel. In fact we had a fantastic stay there. So 4 out 5 starts as some mild improvement can be made.

This property exceeded our expectations because of the wonderful services and staff. The room #2 was directly beside a small pool that offered shaded swims after a warm day. The room itself had a fridge , microwave and a bolted room safe. It was a good size room with a workspace for us as we tidied up bus for the next few months. TV with a small variety to watch and an air. conditioner. The property offered a significant and varied breakfast including a fresh juicer for orange juice. The varied menu included items such as sweet rolls, fresh breads and occasionally crepes. The crepes my husband stated you couldn’t eat just one of with hazelnut and bananas . He enjoyed his samosa and hot sauce when they were offered. As well as breaded vegetables and crispy rolls to sit beside your choice of eggs. Those were my favourite a plain omelette unfolded to add cheese and ham or chicken slices with hot sauce, fries when they were available. With a yoghurt and fruit. Plenty of tea and coffee ti wash it down with and of course cereals for the kids. Services such as a juice upon arrival to fill out you paperwork, set the tone as our hostess discussed the tours available. We used shuttles to and from Flic en Flac beach or Cascavelle Mall were perfect for our adventure . We shopped both at Jumbo Express down on the corner at the beach area, as well as the Cascavelle Mall. We were further encouraged to jump on buses to go to Port Louis and La Morne look out or further beyond to Cao Baie. While we did not feel the need to rent a car and drive about there were many people who had taken advantage of the inexpensive rentals. This atmosphere was just what we were looking for. Chill friendly and full relaxed, We loved Flic en Flac beach that seemed to go on forever and although we came to this area to dive which was very disappointing for reef and fish. We loved everything else it offered.

Excellent resort in a quiet location. Comfortable rooms. Hotel offer shuttle to the beach on specific times only . An on-site restaurant would be a good enhancement. Friendly and flexible staff. A good place to stay if you have a mode of transport in the island.

Friendly small tourist residence with lovely staff, great breakfast, and comfortable rooms. Looks bigger in the photos but was a perfect place to relax. Situated about a 30-minute walk to the beach but with some rooms having a sea view and a free shuttle service helped. The hotel is surrounded by private houses and has a suburban feel to the neighborhood. There is parking for a few cars so some guests use it as a base from which to day trip. It is possible to walk just 5 minutes to the main road into town where you can catch a bus down into Flic for around 20 rupees or the other way to Port Louis and beyond for not much more than 50 rupees.
