Be careful of when you plan to go as it isnt warm all year round like the Caribbean.
And its a 12 hour flight rather than 8 to the Caribbean.
I was going to go but my brother said it wasn't worth the extra long flight and expense for the hotel.
Nice beaches etc but he said the island doesn't have loads more going on so the hotels charge more and do an all inclusive package which doesn't mean great value for money.
Go Barbados instead.

Gavros, they are slightly different holidays....
You'd be a plank to compare the two.
Like saying a club 18-30 holiday is different to going to Dubai.

Stayed up in Turtle Bay, very nice. Some beautiful beaches and the people are friendly.
We hired a car and drove around the island which was fantastic. Walking with the lions at Casela Wildlife Park was definitely a great experience. Lunch at the rum distillery was decent.
Port Louis is a bit of a shithole so best avoided.
If you're a big drinker, get the all inclusive as it will save you in the end.

Crassus is right - Le Saint Geran is the best hotel in Mauritius.
However it is full of small kids - it has an excellent kids centre and that means it's a magnet for families with little ones. They can drive you nuts running around screaming.
It has a neat little 9 hole course if you like your golf. The gym is excellent and the watersports centre benefits from a sheltered lagoon.
It has a helipad, well worth taking a helicopter there from the airport. It's not outrageously expensive and it saves you a boring 2 hour drive through the sugar cane fields.
One big downside is that the scuba diving is poor in Mauritius. Visibility is low, there's not much to see and the sea can be a bit rough. The scuba centres are also grim - I tried two and they were both rubbish. Poor equipment and dive masters who haven't been properly trained.
On the other hand the Mauritians are lovely - really friendly and great service - unlike the Maldives where sullen, rude locals make you feel like an intruder rather than a guest.
