Mauritius is a bliss of the natural world amidst the Pacific Ocean. Being an ardent admirer of nature, I set the foot of mine on this pristine island with my wife in November 2016.
A number of points to mention which might help you enjoy your travel and save on the pocket of yours.
4 nights/5 times in Mauritius is minimum to enjoy this location. The primary day is always a rest day after airport terminal to resort transfers, and also check in to your resort. Next you require minimum 3 days to go to the Alex Craufs Island, South Mauritius and north Mauritius on every day. The last day you have visit from your resort and hotel to airport transfer.
Some notable resorts which often caught my eye are:
MONTCHOICY CORAL AZURE RESORT
BALACLAVA BEACH
ANGSANA BALACLAVA
WESTIN TURTLE BAY
INTERCONTINENTAL
LE MERIDIAN
RAVENALLA
You'll notice lots others to choose from.
The majority of the resorts within Mauritius are on the beach or with private beach away from the busy city life. Simply have a thorough research of the resort testimonials from the web and book. Many resorts provide free dinner and breakfast on half board basis. Also many a watersport tasks are free in the resorts like Glass bottom boat trip, Snorkelling, Kayaking, Wind surfing etc. Tarissa Resort in Mauritius has an Indian Resturant which serves superb Indian platters.
I would recommend that on your drive to Alex Cerfs Island enjoy the paid water sports as Parasailing, Under Sea Walk, Tube ride etc. Akquasail is a favorite agent for the exact same. In case you book with a travel representative dont worry they are going to take you to this agent in numerous cases. Also carry a extra set of clothes and your swimming gears for this trip.
Only neighborhood Mauritius travel agents are operational for the sightscene tours. With any travel representative you reserve around the world they are going to transfer it to the neighborhood Mauritius travel agents only. Some important traveling agents are SEA SIDE HOLIDAYS, AKQUASUN TRAVELS, TAM TAM TOURS to note a few. They have the counters of theirs in the airport itself. You are able to book a package with them for your sightscenes with proper negotiations ideally in advance from web for hassle totally free holidays. Both budget Group tours or perhaps private tours can be bought. Mind you specific adhoc tours from resort will be rather costly.
Only Mauritius rupees are appropriate as currency. You've for taking common/ global currencies like Euro/ Dollar/ Yen etc which can be replaced in the airport itself. The airport exchanges provide the best rates so choose it without any hesitation.
Packaged Drinking water deeply in Mauritius is costly except in grocery stores. Resorts in Mauritus supply one liter of mineral water each day per room free. Any time you need more which is apparent you've to buy. When you take the cab from the terminal to your resort request/ convince the new driver to stop at a supermarket and invest in water. Price is reasonable and cheap specially for packs of six or maybe more bottles.
Orange is regarded as the popular mobile operator with very good networks. So if your local travel agent gives you a sim do charge it at the grocery store itself.
Phoenix Beer is most famous in Mauritius and offered in different taste and flavours. So you are able to buy the beer of yours from the supermarket itself at damn cheap prices. Mind you at the resort of yours the price will be atleast 4 to five times more. You also can stock up snacks as chips or chocolates or nachos at cheap prices for your sightscene trips.
