"Pros: This is a spacious villa, two stories. One bedroom on the main floor and the other two on the second. There is everything you might need for a nice stay -- a kitchen, a cloth washer, well equipped kitchen. There is a nice area around the villa, surrounded by a fence. To enter the property, you have to open the gate for the car (the remote for it was not working while we were there, but we managed to open it manually, not a problem). On the sea side, there is again a fence with a gate that stays locked.. So to go to the beach, you have to unlock the gate, which provides extra security of course, but also seems to suggest that you have to be vigilant. The hosts are very nice and respond very fast to questions and requests. We were met and shown around the property when we arrived. Communication was also easy on WhatsApp. Outside of the villa, there is a swimming pool that we didn't use because we like swimming in the sea, but with lights at night coming up, it really looked great, same as the rest of the villa. All the three bedrooms have a sea view, which were gorgeous from the second floor. I did look for a place with great sea views and it was such a place.
Cons: I don't really want to write anything negative, but on the other hand I want to be honest to help others make a good decision, so I will mention two things. One -- there is no restaurant or grocery store close to the villa and you have to drive to Port Louis for this. If there is no traffic, it's less than 15 minutes, but most of the time there is traffic in Port Louis and it might take up to 30 minutes. We still did it but it was time consuming to drive into the city even for an ice cream. The second thing is that when you think Mauritius, you think turquoise white sand beaches and water sports. The beach next to the villa is not that type of a beach. To go the dream beach you again have to drive to probably Mon Choisy up north and, with traffic, it might take 40-45 minutes and sometimes even longer. This was something that I didn't understand before coming. We did take walks on the beach next to the property, but for swimming and water sports we had to drive every day and, to be completely honest, I regretted not living in a villa right on one of those beautiful white sand beaches with turquoise water. It might be that such a place would cost an arm and a leg... We had a great time anyway (and we did have a rental car), but in hindsight I would rather not drive the whole time." ~Maria
