Seasense Boutique Hotel & Spa

We enjoyed our week-long stay at Seasense and would give it a 4.5 score if we could. This small 63-room adult-only boutique hotel is beautifully designed and the rooms are well appointed. Service is friendly and attentive, but can be slow at mealtimes. The exclusive beach is quite small and shallow but fine for a splash or a snorkel. The pretty à la carte restaurant is right by the sea, and there was no shortage of loungers, including with shade. The small pool is heated and lovely for a quick dip. The modest spa and sauna is a nice touch. Two issues however. First, noise from the road: the hotel is sandwiched on a small strip or land between the main coast road and the sea. More importantly, we found the food quite variable: occasionally excellent, always presented beautifully, but often bland and under-seasoned and cold. A shame given the reputation of Mauritian cuisine. Also, half the menu items (and nearly all the fish options) are subject to hefty supplements. The buffet night (combined with a free cocktail party for guests) was however enjoyable.

An ok place wouldn’t go back Good service nice staff

Relaxing.

Good hotel, decent food options from half board package

The staff and general service levels were superb. Nothing was too much trouble. It's situated on a nice beach with a good sea swimming area. The rooms were clean and modern. Highly recommended.

All staff was very friendly and not over the top so you feel very comfortable. We stayed in the Royal Sea suite and the private pool is definitely a wonderful luxury. You are also on the edge of the resort so you get more privacy. Food was great, they accommodate dietary requirements ... nothing to fault. And did I mention the view is just stunning?

Awesome experience. Everything about this hotel is amazing. Only wish I stayed longer !

The hotel is beautiful and well kept , the staff are so welcoming and obliging every guest is treat like a v.i.p I have never stayed anywhere that has given such a personal service as they do . I haven’t enough words to praise Seasense hotel the place and staff are simply amazing . I strongly recommend it ...

Perhaps the most beautiful and comfortable room we’ve ever had in many years if travel. Staff very friendly, but suggest a handout that repeats the large amount of info given on the welcome tour. We missed the dinner dress code and were confused about dining arrangements in general.

The hotel was absolutely stunning and I literally had the best holiday in my life :) The food was amazing and very reasonably priced and the customer service is just phenomenal. This is what t means to be customer centric!! They offer whatever the customers ask for (additional towels, bottle of water) and they go out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We were staying at another 5-star hotel before coming to Seasense but the quality of the food, the staff, the rooms and the beach was just miles away. I would love to stay at this hotel again!!

Good location and well laid not but could do with better separation between Smokers and Diners in the evening.

Baby moon/ honeymoon, great place for a couple

Superb hotel.Adults only therefore quiet and relaxed.Infinity heated pool with stunning sea views a definite X plus factor.Service 10/10.Room 10/10. Food trendy and good -perhaps lacking a tad on the ethnic creole flavors.Beach outstanding,clean and extensive. Only two questions to ask: 1) Did you enjoy and 2) Would you go back.Yes and Yes.

Beautiful hotel, great staff and wonderful location

Overall hotel and service great. Good also good. Lack of information in rooms about hotel facilities and how meal packages work - this would have been very useful. On last night we settled Bill and paid for any additional purchases by cash. Late night phone call followed by knock on door to check our payment receipts- felt like we had been trying to leave without paying when we had paid cash on every purchase. Left us with bad feeling and I did mention this on the in room review form but no apology as yet!

Don’t have sea view from room despite being assured of it. Arrival service not great at all.

Seasense exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredible from start to finish and were there for whatever you needed. The room was clean and comfortable. The ocean views were incredible. The food was really good. The only recoendations I could make are to have more vegetarian options for the menu. Other than that.. I can’t wait to return!

Newly opened 4 days before our arrival so a few snagging issues like not all rooms had luggage racks or coffee machines. Also our window was not locking but they moved us into a different room relatively quickly. All the staff try very hard to provide great customer service and were most helpful whenever we needed anything. We decided to upgrade our room in celebration of our wedding anniversary and Jason did a wonderful job helping us get a poolside suite and making it a most memorable stay. We really enjoyed the food too, there’s a fairly wide selection for dinner and adventurous dishes. Absolutely loved their foie gras soup, best soup I have ever had and their Mauritian mains were all very tasty! And my husband was particularly excited they had premier football channel! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt sad to leave. Special thanks to Jason and all the staff for making it a fantastic stay. Further thanks for the attentative dinner service from Ajay and a tall guy (sorry I didn’t catch your name but you served me the coconut surprise and said I was the first to order it!)

We were one of the couples affected by the various issues which forced the hotel to relocate us at Lux Belle Mare for our first night. We were upgraded to half-board for that night and received a complimentary lunch the next day at the SeaSense. And may I record our thanks for these gestures. However, may I now point out that the staff were absolutely brilliant - they did everything possible to make sure the guests could see they were doing their utmost to overcome all the hotel's teething issues. We only lasted one night in room 102, before it started flooding, so we were moved to 107. On our day of departure, we had both water and electrical problems in room 107, but again, the staffs' responses to these problems do not deserve any criticisms. Apart from all that, if these things hadn't happened, what's our opinion of the SeaSense? In time, it should be a very very good Boutique Hotel - somewhere between 4* and 5*. The buffet breakfast was very good and sufficient and included a hot cooked eggs dish of your choice. Most luxurious rooms are a stone's throw from the sea and little sandy beach. Beach loungers and thatched shading are provided as is waiter service. A much better stretch of beach is a couple of headlands away in the direction of Palmar - when we went it was completely deserted. But I cannot overstate how well the staff attend to their guests.

Arrived two days after the hotel opened so naturally there were teething issues, that holds back a perfect rating. In addition some things weren't ready to go (limited water sports whilst equipment arrived/limited spa availability as work was completing) However, the setting is beautiful and rooms open up directly to the beach. The staff were fantastic and helpful when things went wrong. Day by day we saw the changes in decor etc which was lovely. The food was very tasty. Would love to come back in a month or so as I imagine it will be great with the team there. Special mention to Jason and Satish who were very helpful.
