Disappointing Stay at The Bay
We stayed at The Bay for 3 nights as part of a longer vacation. Unfortunately, the service was lacking, the staff were unhelpful and misleading, and their English skills were limited. On day 3, after placing the cleaning request sign on our door, our room was finally cleaned. However, upon our return, we found that neither the toilet nor the shower had been properly cleaned, and the dirty towels were still on the floor. This was especially frustrating as our room had not been cleaned at all on day 2, despite the request sign being displayed. The food in the restaurant is decent, but you quickly become dependent on it since there are no real dining alternatives in the surrounding area.

È stata un'esperienza straordinaria, addirittura superiore alle aspettative. L'hotel è un vero gioiello: poche camere, un'atmosfera intima, estremamente pulito e curato in ogni dettaglio. Si ha la sensazione di essere a casa, il che contribuisce a creare un ambiente molto rilassante. Il ristorante è altrettanto raffinato, con un'atmosfera romantica e una vista mozzafiato sul mare: assistere al tramonto mentre si cena è un'esperienza che difficilmente dimenticheremo. Un ringraziamento speciale a tutto il personale, sempre gentile e sorridente, in particolare alla Sig.ra Emily e allo Chef Jonathan, che ci ha deliziato con le sue prelibatezze. Consiglio vivamente questa struttura a chiunque voglia visitare Mauritius: si trova in una posizione ideale, a breve distanza dalle principali attrazioni e dalle spiagge più belle.

Quando abbiamo deciso di visitare Mauritius abbiamo cercato un hotel bello, con ristorante (che avesse anche opzioni vegane), fosse fronte spiaggia e avesse il bar. Non volevamo i classici resort sent'anima e con mille altri ospiti, ma una atruttura di alto livello con un numero.limitato.di stanze.Il The Bay è stata la nostra fortunata scelta e si è rivelato ancora meglio del previsto. La struttura è splendida e pulitissima, i servizi ottimi, il.personale davvero gentile, la cucina incredibile e il servizio bar aperto da mattina a sera. Ha lettini e ombrelloni in spiaggia e dal ristorante e dalla zona piscina si gode in un tramonto che toglie il fiato. La musica viene spenta alle 23 e non è mai alta, quindi non disturba il riposo degli ospiti. Esternamente c'è un parcheggio custodito, anche se ci sono pochi posti. La zona è comoda anche per raggiungere a piedi altri ristoranti. Tornerei sicuramente al The Bay perchè ci siamo trovati benissimo.

Séjour de 10 nuits en juillet. Chambre propre, spacieuse et calme. Piscine très belle, plage avec transats et parasols très agréable, couchers de soleil magnifiques. Le personnel est très sympathique et serviable, Emilie nous a très bien conseillés sur des activités et lieux à visiter. Les petits déjeuners sont copieux et de qualité. Un super séjour !

Disliked: Staff & service
Leider war das Personal sehr unfreundlich. Am Ende des Aufenthaltes sollten wir einen Betrag für einen gemieteten Scooter bezahlen, welcher vorher nicht vereinbart war. Auch im Restaurant lauern versteckte Kosten, die einem erst am Ende des Aufenthalts präsentiert wurden. Ich kann das Hotel leider nicht weiter empfehlen.
