Not for family, no pool, avg service

Good looking resort, poor pool, looks like a repurposed fountain rather than a pool to swim in. Some great staff and some very average, so service inconsistent. Best for couples who want to stay in a secluded part of the island with nothing happening in their resort.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
On the positive side: it is nicely located next to a nice beach with calm water. Big pool that overlooks the beach. Staff is nice and professional. On the negative side,The hotel is a bit dated. And the common area could be maintained better. Rooms could need a freshen up. We had electric issues, phone didn’t work, WiFi was super weak, to name a few things. There is also a lot of mosquitoes and the buggy service that you rely on to get around is very slow, leaving you waiting for a long time every time. Not value for money in my opinion.
The best thing about the hotel, the nice beach.

We had mixed experiences during our stay at SO Sofitel Mauritius. After a long flight, arriving at 8pm, we were left sitting in the dark with a welcome drink for around 10 minutes before being taken to reception. Check-in was efficient but lacked warmth. Our room was uniquely designed and would have been impressive in its day, but it is now tired and poorly maintained. Floors, benchtops and bathroom surfaces were stained, cracked and worn, the outdoor shower door was covered in paint splatters, and the outdoor bath was unusable due to a very slow water supply and leaking plug. For a resort charging premium prices, the condition of the facilities was disappointing. The pool had cracked tiles and leaks, housekeeping once failed to replace our towels, and coffee pods were chargeable after the first two. Reception staff further disappointed us when a simple request for a breakfast box before an early tour was repeatedly ignored. In contrast, the food and beverage team were exceptional—warm, welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. The gardens were beautifully maintained, the beachfront setting is stunning, and concierge Raj sincerely listened to our concerns, apologised and assured us they would be raised with management. The kitchen staff also made our anniversary special with a thoughtful cake. Overall, while the location and hospitality from the food and beverage team were excellent, the resort's condition and reception service did not justify the premium price.

Beautiful hotel and beach. Staff couldn’t be more accommodating and were so helpful with assisting with baby food. Hospitality was great . A few points, the buffet was nothing compared to other 4-5* resorts we have stayed at across the island, no ice cream at dessert for the children, was quite disappointing. On the last day, staff kept entering our room without ringing first at the very least which was really strange and inappropriate.

We liked the friendliness and kindness of all the staff we met at the hotel and were made to feel that nothing was too much trouble. We would like to thank everyone and especially Raj and Divya for always being there to make our stay completely stress and hassle free, chef Vinay and his team for the delicious variety of wonderful dishes that catered for all tastes and a special thank you for the effort they made to tweak the recipes to cater for my allergies , all the waiting and bar staff especially Jamy who always made us feel welcome and we would also like to thank the spa team for the incredible treatments they provided to make our stay even more memorable . The whole holiday experience was unforgettable from our cleaner Noora to the gardeners and buggy drivers who were a delight to meet and always had a smile on their faces … thank you, Sam & Ruth .

Not 5* luxury

We felt it was more representative of a 4* stay than 5* hotel. We stayed in a suite, and the room was tired and needed updating. Nowhere to hang towels, plugs not working, no curtains for the patio area so was awaken at first light. And despite saying there were two restaurants, with half board you had to pay for the other. So you are restricted to the buffet, which is limited in size and the food was repetitive. The price of drinks was very high. A pint of beer was £8 and a single shot of liqueur was £10 for the cheapest. Meaning bar tabs run up if you want to have some drinks with your meals. There was a bit of upselling throughout the stay for their trips, massages, taxis, dinners etc. Gym was small and WiFi was weak throughout. However lovely beach and pool area. And staff were very friendly.
