Best restaurant is the Bistro. We had the best food there. Our room was always very clean and organized she was the best. The pool bar needs to have two dishwashers because when it rains they only rise the glasses they don’t even use soup. It was true after I complained the put someone to wash the glasses when the dishwasher was full. When you arrive the staff when show you the place.
Nice all inclusive resort. Perfect for families. They offer also several activities for free (ie kayak, pedalo, windsurf, bottomglass boat) not enough advertised though. The best thing is the kids club from 9am til 10pm with tons of activities for the kids and super lovely staff.
Fantastic place to visit Mauritsius.
Located in a lovely bay, the resort offers you variety of activities to do and a wide selection of food for any taste!
The hotel staff is polite and cheering, always available to give advices or suggestions. In particular, I would like to thank Ismail, and the boathouse team!
Beautiful resort with an amazing staff!
We stayed in room 1200 for 8 days and I can say we had one of the best experience
This resort offers you everything you need-high style dining in restaurants, beautiful beach with so many water activities, very good entertainment staff, beautiful landscape, friendly people everywhere ( front desk and beach bar especially)
Thank you for making our staying there memorable and we will definitely return to this place!
The staff really make this place, the bar, boathouse and activities staff in particular. It has a relaxed and charming atmosphere, rather than a sanitised 5star. Our kids (11,9 & 5yrs) didn’t go in kids club but the staff played table tennis, drafts and chess with them around the beach allowing us to relax. The Sunset on the beach at night is breath taking.
All in all a nice stay.
Cleanliness is given in the ressort, yet room showed already some signs of usage - although much space.
Food mostly good, but restaurant system is a bit tricky - make sure to reserve tables for several days immediately after arriving.
Very nice hotel, a lot of helpfull staff, from cleaning to restaurants. Value for the money.
Could maybe upgrade the soap/shower gel to get a little more luxury feeling. Also maybe wait with the Big tour around the hotel just after landing. We had been traveling for almost 20 hours, and would appriciate a short nap and shower before being showed around, but the tour itself were good.
Friendly staff and great rooms which are huge and clean.q
Enjoyed the beach front and the various sports and water activities.
Numerous food options in the all inclusive package.
Downside was the water and electric cuts. I have emveem to less developed countries and they have sufficient backups such as generators and water storage.
Was not pleased with the club situated near the reception as was informed on the hotel tour local drinks including rum was included in the all inclusive package. However the staff stated only beer and wine was available which did not make sense as I could get local rum every where else on the hotel complex.

Overall hood stay.
Overall hood stay, room was upgraded which was fantastic with a private beach.
Hotel rooms and bathroom is in need of a refurbishment. Buffet Food overall was not that good, the best service and food we had was at the kot nou.
The staff at the bistro require customer service training and be trained to greet and smile.
We had an amazing stay at Ravenala Attitude hotel. The food was delicious great choice for everyone especially the sushi at Lime, ground floor executive beachfront suite massive & great position, the gardens & pools were spectacular too. Everyone of the staff was so genuinely friendly & helpful, they were all really proud to work for the company who in turn look after & appreciate their colleagues. We got married whilst there, beautiful & perfect in every way. Sneha went out of her way to ensure everything was just how we wanted it. Thank you for all the wonderful memories we will have forever.Totally recommend this hotel 5*

Some of the employees were really special. Sweety at the Bistro was wonderful, helpful, and seemed to know exactly what we needed and was spot on. Front desk employees were courteous and helpful.
Food options and restaurants were very nice.
Maintenance workers were noisy in the mornings. We could have done without the initial resort tour prior to check in. The check in process is too long.
Excellent! Just left the ravenala following 5 night stay. We had no compliants at all.
We stayed in the adult zone where you get your own bean bag loungers on the beach. The room was very clean, housekeeping are incredible. Each day the room was spotless and care taken with items in the room.
Huge thanks to the staff at the boat house - well equipped, highly knowledgeable and happy to go out and teach. Their english is very good too. The added options of glassbottom tour was excellent. Food was good and plenty of options. Yes there are a few - maybe 3 stray dogs on the beach but they do not bother you and the staff look after them and feed them. Well worth a stay and would go back again! Fabulous sunsets as well.
Let’s start with Rohan the manager. He was incredible helpful happy and just couldn’t do enough to help you. And this was only the beginning. The staff every single one ! Happy and helpful. Not a common sight but this was truly appreciated. Kishan at the beach bar a wonderful human. Always jolly quick with drinks. Rai one of his colleagues also the same just fantastic. Soburan the towel lady was phenomenal asked about the holiday what we were up to genuinely
Engaging with holidayers. The boat house staff all of them fantastic. Free kayaking yes please. The restaurant staff. Nitin super shy very attentive. No empty glasses of water. Shaffick was asked for chilli sauce once and remebered every time. How fantastic. Masala tea. Was brought out for us daily. I cannot rate this hotel
Highly enough !!
One of the most beautiful resorts we have visited. The staff was so polite and very helpful. The food was also very delicious. We would come back and also recommend to anyone.
The hotel is extremely clean and very focused on their impact to the environment. All the staff are extremely friendly and provided amazing service throughout our stay. We would highly recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Mauritius.
