What we liked: Close to airport, spacious room, sea views, dining area. Improvements required: Service staff seemed unhappy (did they like hospitality work, need training or unhappy workplace culture?) and felt at times that we were a hindrance (the service staff unfriendly, unhelpful and felt like service was a chore). A few staff were obviously unwell (coughing and sneezing a lot) whilst working. We were also left waiting, not knowing if we would be served. When we asked a question about an order, we were not given advice but expected to know the answer. The Manager did introduce himself on the first day, helping with our bags. As we only stayed one night, we decided to eat at the hotel which was a big mistake. As noted by other reviewers the meal is overpriced and very average. My partner, a vegetarian, had a small cup of pumpkin soup, lightly coated fettuccine (no vegetables) and two small balls of ice-cream for 1450 Mauritian rupee (approx $50 AUD). Having stayed in stayed in Blue Bay previously, we recommend food at the Blue Bamboo around 8 minutes walk from the Hotel, with a great atmosphere and service and delicious meals or alternatively, if your up for a drive, suggest Le Bazilic in nearby Mahebourg, one of our best meals in Mauritius! The hotel was self was older and perhaps needed some updates however could overlook this if we had a welcoming and friendly service experience, which we had at several other holiday locations in Mauritius and Reunion Island.

True Mauritian hospitality
Astroea beach hotel is a cosy hotel managed by people who really care. They represent beautifully the legendary hospitality of Mauritian people: from the manager to the receptionist, the waiters, the chef and other people of their staff. They went above and beyond to help accommodating me throughout multiple plane cancelations due to cyclones and made me feel safe. I’ll never forget that. Food is delicious, beach is unbelievable and the whole setting really induces calm and relaxation. I chose this place for its proximity to the airport and for the fact that I wanted a comfortable way to end my trip. Mille mercis pour tout!!

Nice and quiet
The hotel is ideally located on a quiet area of tge island therefore the coral reef is in much better condition than other areas. The beach has sadly eroded. The hotel is cute and small and can be elevated to 4 stars if they give some attention to detail. So much potential. The Blue Bamboo eatery down the road is an excellent local restaurant serving delicious dishes.

The three-star hotel is acceptable. The highlight of our stay is the beach right in front, perfect for snorkeling with a fantastic sea view. The food is average, and I might not opt for this place again as the price we paid for don't match the amenities provided.

Fine for a short stay
Small scale, friendly hotel. Rooms are to be expected from a more budget level hotel, meaning they're fine. The beach in front of the hotel is not as wide as you expect from the photo and it was pretty windy when we were there so I wouldn't say this is a place for a 2 week beach holiday. But - Blue Bay is walkable (long walk) or 5 mins in car + more wild Point d'Esney beach is closer. We only had 2 nights half board; food was limited and just ok. Service was very good.

We were disappointed with the accommodation upon arrival. Our room was very dirty, black hairs all over the floor and bathroom, even shaving hair in the sink and stained bedding. We complained and they did a ‘deep clean’ of which all they did was change the bedding to different stained sheets and hairs were still everywhere. It’s a 3 star but there is no excuse for a dirty room. The staff were lovely but found out they are very understaffed and have to work long hours. The food was ok but you quickly got bored of the choices available. The setting and beach was very beautiful. We found out they had a sister hotel which was 4 star and they moved us a few days later which was much appreciated and a beautiful hotel.

I thought the property overall was excellent. We were given a suite and this seemed very reasonable. The facilities are in good condition but the (British) electric shower unit was rubbish! Like many of the reviews the dining was poor and overly expensive. There wasn't sufficient quantity and frankly was just too bland! The curry we had just seemed to lack any spices! Continental breakfast was reasonable though. A small but private beach with good views.

The rooms are not together, they are build like little houses which is very nice and you have your privacy. The room is nice and big. But they do need to do a renovation for the bad. I also felt that the bedsheet and pillow were not that clean, which made me feel uncomfortable to sleep in the bed. The staff is friendly and helpful. Its a little group so it feels like a family to be there. Sometimes i felt like they push me to eat and have drinks in the hotel restaurant which was annoying. The dinner was very tasty but the portions were sadly very little. All around it was a nice stay and i would recommend again. Thank you.

After my complaints to management regarding the poor breakfast and fly problem, I’m glad to say this morning a superb breakfast was served and fly covers were bought to cover open displayed foods. Special mention to the Food and Beverage manager Sham and his team for rectifying the problem and serving us a delicious dinner, lunch and breakfast with a smile and efficiency. The problem with the basin plug was also seen to and repaired. I can recommend this hotel to the person who enjoys a peaceful time way from the crowds where you can relax and enjoy the natural surroundings, ocean and personal service. Note that there is no swimming pool although ocean swimming here is superb.

The location is great as the hotel is next to the ocean. Lovely bay to swim. Unfortunately the breakfast was disastrous, no cut fresh fruit, old bananas, few yogurts, not freshly squeezed juice but concentrate mixed with water. No cutlery and no one to take order for cooked breakfast. Flies everywhere, sitting on the food, which management says they cannot control. Worst breakfast I’ve ever been offered at any hotel! This hotel is rated as a four star on Hotels.com but management say it does not have a four star rating.... can Hotels.com please correct this? Basin in bathroom does not have hot water and plug leaks so difficult for a man to have a decent morning shave.

Only cold water at basin in bathroom, shower has no taps but some kind of "switch" to turn water on. It is almost impossible to set water temperature so its either too hot or too cold.

Setting and beach is nice, comfort bad!
I love the private setting and beautiful beach of this hotel, but that is where it stops. WiFi was almost non-existent. Everyday was a struggle and often, the WiFi was inaccessible in the room and even in the hotel reception/lobby(it seems they shut down their server entirely for certain period of time). That was most frustrating and we had no resolution to this problem throughout the 2-weeks stay. The bed was extremely uncomfortable: Mattress was terrible, you could feel the wires under your back and cover blanket was and old and thin cotton coverlet. No duvet (comforter) is available. Staff was OK, not that friendly. Food is average (better food quality and price can be found at local restaurant in town). Apart from water sports, time at hotel is very boring, they could do with some scheduled on-site entertainment. Best part of it is the beach with mile-long lagoon and coral reef right at your feet. If you only need a nice beach and a secluded setting and no bedding comfort or WiFi, this hotel is for you.

Hotel on the Beach
Astroea is directly on the Beach, its a nice small quiet hotel - no loud music. Its related to the Preskil Hotel 2km along the coast road which is bigger and busier with pools and music (you can get day entry tickets) - I went there a couple of times to the Scuba Diving Centre (Diving inside the reef is in about 6m and fairly tame, outside the reef the sea was pretty rough while I was there). The snorkling in front of the hotel is pretty good. The staff at the Astroea go out of there way to be helpful, they arranged early access to our room which was much appreciated. We took the half board option and must say the food was varied and of good quality - there were two options for each course of the evening meal.

Lovely small quiet hotel with excellent service, which we enjoyed very much. Good value for money. The beach has got quite a bit of rocky areas, ideal for snorkling, but not so ideal for swimming, especially at low tide. Would go back any time.

Very Disappointing Hotel.
Only 20 minutes from the airport, we chose to stay 1 night before an early flight back to the UK. The welcome was fine and we were upgraded to a small bungalow with 2 bedrooms which we didn't need.It was adequate for our purpose but I wouldn't have wanted to stay more than 1 night. The evening meal is 3 courses and has to be pre-ordered, which we did at check in. Choosing from a very random 2 starters, 2 main courses, and 2 deserts. It too was very disappointing. All the other customers seemed to be on package deals - mainly all inclusive. As independent travellers we paid £140 room only plus almost a further £100 for the meal plus 2 small cocktails, 1 beer and 1 tonic water. Astronomical for what we received. The unfortunate smell which permeated the whole area was a massive problem for guests and staff alike. We were told it was caused by the coral spawning. It can last for weeks but only happens every second or third year. When the tide is out it is very severe and extremely unpleasant. All in all, not a good experience.

Pleasant but too short Mauritius interlude
This was a most pleasant and too short stay over in Mauritius. The bungalow was excellent even with the furniture a little dated. I slept very well, very quiet place. Staff were most friendly. There was an excellent b'fast. The restaurant I cannot really judge as I ate only one meal there. However, this was average with a tasty beef stew but very dry tasteless pasta. The hotel is small but anywhere is only yards from a private beach with safe and calm waters. You can take your b'fast overlooking the deep blue sea, wonderful. Location is ideal, not far from Mahebourg or the airport but far enough not to be bothered by either. Wifi in my room and the hotel grounds worked well most of the time.

Good small hotel on the beach
Nice hotel, good location only 15 minutes walk to Blue Bay - this can be walked along the road or along the beach. Although the beach at the hotel is small, you can walk for several km along the beach in either direction (as all beach in Mauritius is public), just requires a mix of walking on sand, in the sea, and scrambling over rocks! Free kayaks a big bonus. Staff are excellent and very friendly. Meals overly expensive - better to walk to nearby restaurants to eat at about 1/3 of the price, of which there are two or three within 15 mins. Wifi is free but was non-existent for about half of my stay. There is parking and a car would be useful if you want to explore more than the immediate surrounds. Easterly prevailing winds in winter can mean beach is rather cold and there is not much to do nearby.

Great stay at Astroea
I stayed at Astroea Beach Hotel just before Christmas 2015. I was a bit nervous as I was a solo traveller. However, there was no need for me to be concerned. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. They are all willing to make your stay what you want. The food is very good and lots of choice. My only complaint is that the rooms aren't up to a good standard but you don't spend a huge amount of your time in the room when you have such amazing views on the beach!

Handy for airport
Handy for one night to and from airport and v nice staff. Any longer you are very limited as tiny beach with shallow corally sea so barely swimmable . Set up let down by the chef! Food very limited and unimaginative . Buffet breakfast choice poor compared to other hotels even small ones and dinner boring choices of two first /main/puddings, which you had to order at breakfast, not knowing what you might feel like by the evening! If you didn't like either they would find something else but if you asked for fish it was dry and nameless etc etc. for the price one was paying to stay it was not good value and food also luke warm. 3 nights of it were more than enough.

Most enjoyable spot
The accommodation is fairly basic but spacious with a comfortable bed. The location is right on the beach surrounded by upmarket dwellings. The staff were charming and the food very good.
