We stayed at the Westin for a week at the end on July into August for our honeymoon and what an amazing place it is! Firstly the staff! Wow they make this hotel, they cannot do enough for you! Special shout out to Rahu at the retreat bar always looking after us, knowing our drink orders and making us up some special shots! Also Yesha at the main pool again waiting on us from the minute we would arrive! The food is incredible, we tried the lobster night, Teppenyaki with Madelyn, Mystique set menu and Kangan. The buffet was great , the breakfast was yummy especially the egg station! The chefs are so talented and came out to meet you at the end of the meal which was a nice touch! The hotel was spotless , and the rooms were clean and mini bar restocked everyday! The all inclusive water sports was great we tried the glass bottom boat and then booked a catamaran at the boat house for the day to the north islands which was also amazing and easy we were picked up from the beach next to the hotel! The evening entertainment was also great! The only minor issue was the wait time for the food at Kangan but it may have been due to dining at the same time as big groups. When we booked the hotel I read some of the reviews which were negative and I wonder if we were staying at the same place! I don’t have a bad word to say about this hotel we had the most amazing honeymoon and I would recommend this hotel to family and friends! We enjoyed every minute here! One lovely touch as we left the concierge handed us some chocolate macaroons for our trip home! They were delicious. Honestly we felt like royalty from the minute we arrived to the minute we left! Thankyou so much!
What can you say about this place!!!! Heavenly!!! The food excellent, the cleanliness excellent but the thing that was beyond excellent were the staff and groundsmen/ women!!! Pradeep in the bar Grill was the most immense and attentive member of staff who went out of his way for all our family and especially the children. Aartee, Tousika, Ishika at Mystique you were the icing on the cake. I honestly felt bereft leaving. We spent just make friends because of them we made memories to last a lifetime. All our love and best wishes to all the staff that really made it a trip of a lifetime. Love always The Ramdewor’s/ Malletts/ The Wakemans
This was our second time of visiting. The first was excellent which is why we came back but the second time surpassed even this. Every member of staff gives their all - the cleaners, the bar staff, the concierge etc. Everyone who works there are so professional and really seem to care about your stay. Exceptional. A special mention needs to be made of Roshan who seemed truly determined to make our holiday special. His tips and advice were welcomed and very useful. A dream holiday. Thank you, Westin Turtle Bay!
We just got back from a fantastic family holiday at the Westin Turtle Bay for 5 days and it truly exceeded our expectations. This is a wonderful family resort with something for everyone.
A special mention to the diving center team - Precil, Modu and others who made our experience absolutely wonderful. We loved spending time Kayaking, Snorkeling and going on the boat rides in the pristine bay!
The food at the buffet restaurant was excellent, with a great variety of dishes that kept the whole family happy. A big thank you to the restaurant staff - Arjeet, Deven, Nowraj and special thanks to Rafuel and Dipika who took care of whatever the kids wanted!
The staff throughout the resort were incredibly helpful and friendly, always going out of their way to make us feel welcome. A special shoutout to the front desk team - the ever friendly and smiling Roshan who took care of us along with Jay, Riya, Hemkesh and a very special thanks to duty manager Daven!
We loved the kids' club. The staff there were fantastic with the children and there were so many activities to keep them engaged and entertained all day long.
The resort itself is beautifully maintained, clean and has a great vibe overall.
Mauritius is such a beautiful island and we absolutely loved every moment of it. Westin Turtle Bay was the perfect base for our family trip and we'd happily return!
Highly recommend to any family looking for a relaxing, fun-filled Mauritius getaway.
We had a wonderful stay at The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa Mauritius in August. What stood out most was the incredibly friendly and warm-hearted staff. We always felt very welcome and well taken care of throughout our stay.
A very special thank you to Nass at the pool and to the entire team, who were always there whenever we needed anything. They were extremely helpful, cheerful and kind, and always made us feel very welcome.
We would also like to thank the entire Mystique Restaurant team. A special mention goes to Vikash and Aerkee and Team, who went out of their way to make our experience special with their warm and friendly service.
We would also like to say a special thank you to Naina from the spa for her kindness and attentive service.
