We (a German family with two 20 years old sons) stayed two weeks in the apartment and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. The apartment is spacious and comfortable - and perfectly serviced by Pratima every day (except Sundays). It is situated in an apartment complex with 12 apartments in total. It is on the ground floor and closer to the pool and the sea than the other apartments, means you are kind of separated. Next to the terrace which offers a very nice view over the infinity pool and the ocean is an old banyan tree which does not only produce "African feelings", but it also hosts every day during sunset (which is by the way phantastic as you look to the west) hundreds of birds who give a "concert" while the sun is going down -unforgettable!
If you decide to spend your day at the pool/the beach, your day could look as follows: in the morning, you go to a supermarket called "Food Lovers" (5 minutes walk) to buy fresh baguettes and/ or croissants, plus some fresh fruits. After breakfast, you quickly go to the fish shop (2 minutes walk) and buy the "catch of the day", which could be red or white snapper or blue marlin or tuna - not a big choice, but, more importantly, FRESH! In the evening, you put the fish on the Weber gas grill which is on the terrace of the apartment, and you will have the feeling that life can't be better.... If you prefer meat - no problem: there is a butcher next to the Food Lovers with all sorts of fresh meat. During the day, you relax at the pool/ the beach in a quiet atmosphere.
The pool is big enough to really swim in it (I went for a morning swim almost every day, one peaceful hour every day with the sun rising behind the little mountain behind the village). The sea is not very deep (good for children), so not ideal for swimming, but you can walk in the water to the riff and do some snorkelling there, you can see quite many fish and corals. From the apartment you can easily go by car to the south-western part of Mauritius (to Le Morne and to the National Park). When you go the National Park, I strongly recommend having lunch at a restaurant called "Le Chamarel", it is nicely located in the mountains and offers creol cuisine - and a phantastic view over the coastline and the ocean. You have to make a reservation (online) in advance.
Last but not least: Jean-Claude, the owner of the apartment, is a very nice person. Thanks for your hospitality, Jean-Claude!
Simple summary: book the apartment and go to Mauritius!!
