Astroea Beach Hotel

NA

the room was clean with a beautiful view of the ocean and beach, the crew friendly and helpful at all times

Only stayed for one night as we were travelling around the island. It was exactly as described and as I expected. Convenient location to the airport, blue bay and Mahebourg. Ideally you would need a car to get out of the resort and explore. Hotel has everything you need though. Big shopping centre 5 min drive away.

I only had a short stay (one night), so my review is limited. It is notable that the hotel has a small private beach area, where you can snorkel straight from the beach and there is coral and fish very close.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is stunning. The all inclusive option is the best option as restaurant options outside the hotel are minimal unless you have a car or use taxis. The food options are limited for evening meals but the food was very good. The lunchtime selection for all inclusive is limited unless you wanted to pay extra for a burger or a pizza which cost less than some of the other options. The hotel is very close to the airport and buses stop outside to go to maihberg or Blue bay.

We had a great stay at Astroea Beach hotel! The room was a little tired and could do with a refresh but it was a nice base to have. The staff were all lovely and the food was nice. The beach is small but beautiful and not too busy, we never had any issues finding a sun lounger. Snorkelling was great, lots of different coral and fishes to see! We stayed all inclusive which was perfect for us. The hotel was in easy reach of Mahébourg and Blue Bay. I’d happily stay here again.

Beautiful private beach area!

Nice beach, safe, friendly staff.

Very enjoyable stay

Epic view from the room. Great dinner. Caters well for vegetarians. We will be back!!!

The property is located right along the beach, but the dining options are limited (I suppose due to its smaller size). We enjoyed staying there with the kids. The WiFi only works when you are either outside or near the reception so that needs to be addressed as in the rooms there is barely any coverage.

The property was the perfect spot to spend the evening after a long flight and getting in early evening.

Beautiful beachfront property

Small, secluded boutique hotel with a private beach and a fantastic restaurant & bar. Staff was wonderful and went out of their way to ensure we had everything that we needed. Located close to the airport, Blue Bay, and Mahebourge; but not super walkable, but close enough to local establishments, while still enjoying a bit of seclusion. Water sports and activities available through the hotel.

It was the perfect end to my trip. Very peaceful and right on the ocean. A hidden gem.

The location of our bungalow was good. The views out to sea beautiful. Unfortunately the bad weather did not permit us to make use of the beach and sea. A couple of things that can be improved in property 202 are a) easier way to get warm water temp in the shower. b) broken bin lid c) loose toilet seat. Service in the restaurant a bit hit and miss. If they know who are staying in their hotels and having meals then they could have their table ready especially as not many customers. Orders taken weren’t what was served for example, asked for 1 soft boiled egg with two toasts received 2 hard boiled eggs and 1 toast! Another eg asked for natural yogurt and fruit separately then was given a fruit yogurt. Either they didn’t understand or wrote it down wrong. The lamb salmi left my mouth burning it was so spicy hot that I could not eat my meal, I was offered yogurt. I think if you’re cooking for the tourist you need to bear in mind to not make it too spicy. Lastly we think the staff quarters may have been behind our bungalow as early morning chatter and laughter was quite loud. Some of us on holiday may want a lie in especially when the weather is not so good and in no rush to wake up. Overall I would stay there again. Although I do think staff will benefit from giving the customers a little more attention and less chatting between themselves. Thank you

Very boutique feeling for a reasonable cost and definitely budget friendly property. The staff are excellent and they go out of their way to help. Menu with the all inclusive option was sufficient. My one suggestion would be for management to look into getting some new beds.

What we liked: Close to airport, spacious room, sea views, dining area. Improvements required: Service staff seemed unhappy (did they like hospitality work, need training or unhappy workplace culture?) and felt at times that we were a hindrance (the service staff unfriendly, unhelpful and felt like service was a chore). A few staff were obviously unwell (coughing and sneezing a lot) whilst working. We were also left waiting, not knowing if we would be served. When we asked a question about an order, we were not given advice but expected to know the answer. The Manager did introduce himself on the first day, helping with our bags. As we only stayed one night, we decided to eat at the hotel which was a big mistake. As noted by other reviewers the meal is overpriced and very average. My partner, a vegetarian, had a small cup of pumpkin soup, lightly coated fettuccine (no vegetables) and two small balls of ice-cream for 1450 Mauritian rupee (approx $50 AUD). Having stayed in stayed in Blue Bay previously, we recommend food at the Blue Bamboo around 8 minutes walk from the Hotel, with a great atmosphere and service and delicious meals or alternatively, if your up for a drive, suggest Le Bazilic in nearby Mahebourg, one of our best meals in Mauritius! The hotel was self was older and perhaps needed some updates however could overlook this if we had a welcoming and friendly service experience, which we had at several other holiday locations in Mauritius and Reunion Island.

A disappointing stay overall. Check in was fine and the location is good. Found out at check in that while our booked rate included breakfast, this was only the continental and we'd have to pay to upgrade to full breakfast - which felt cheeky. The room was underwhelming. The pictures make the rooms look better than they feel in real life. As others have said they need refurbishment. Beach is very pleasant but guests from another hotel are bussed in, so it is less private than it could be. Erosion has taken effect so it no longer looks like in the pictures. We had a large cockroach issue (quantity and size) in the bathroom (which my partner is very scared of). After killing a couple we eventually went to reception and were initially given a bottle of bug spray. I pushed for them to assist, which they did. When spraying down the shower drain 5 or 6 came scuttling out causing the staff to panic and run out for more tools. At this point we decided to move hotels. I explained to the reception that we would happily pay for the two nights we had effectively used (including the night we left on), but not the next two nights. They said this would be fine but we'd need to contact expedia/hotels.com who we booked with. The hotel then did not provide the confirmation required to enable this to happen, emails went unanswered. Very poor. Other Mauritian hotels don't have cockroaches, so go elsewhere if you care about this.

Astroea beach hotel is a cosy hotel managed by people who really care. They represent beautifully the legendary hospitality of Mauritian people: from the manager to the receptionist, the waiters, the chef and other people of their staff. They went above and beyond to help accommodating me throughout multiple plane cancelations due to cyclones and made me feel safe. I’ll never forget that. Food is delicious, beach is unbelievable and the whole setting really induces calm and relaxation. I chose this place for its proximity to the airport and for the fact that I wanted a comfortable way to end my trip. Mille mercis pour tout!!
