The Ravenala Attitude

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Ravenala and it’s honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had. The food was a huge highlight. Chef Billy and Chef Vishal put so much care into every meal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and you could tell they love what they do. Breakfast through dinner, we never had a bad plate. The team made us feel so welcome. Mr Azagen, Mr Ashley, and Mr Seam were everywhere helping with a smile. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. They remembered our names, gave great local tips, and made the whole stay feel personal. And the grounds are stunning. The hotel is beautifully kept, clean, and peaceful. Perfect for relaxing but still close to everything you want to do. We will 100% recommend Ravenala and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you to the whole team for making it special.

We went syrinf Mauritius winter. Still great weather and warm waters. Service minded staff all over the hotel.

We stayed here for last leg of our honeymoon. We were initially a little apprehensive about staying here in case it felt really big and commercial. Although it is a big hotel, it still had a really lovely family feel. The staff were brilliant, they couldn't do enough for us, especially Purnima and David. The all you can eat buffet was really good, there was so much to choose from. If you are all inclusive there are a number of water sports and excursions which you can do at no cost. The glass bottom boat ride was our favourite, we were lucky enough to see lots of dolphins and whales when we went. It was magical.

Very good. Very kind staff. Especially Marie Lourdes, Vikram, kushal. Thank you Room itself unfortunately was humid and stuffy smell. The staff attended to it, however it did not completely resolve the issue. Food options excellent. Variety of activities. Beach above average as compared to other hotels. Very nice overall.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic. Here with my husband and 2 daughters aged 10 & 12. Beautiful setting. Don’t be put off by any negative reviews. We have no bad things to say about here. It’s really perfect. As an all inclusive beach resort u can’t get better than here. Firstly the spa is 10/10 absolutely fantastic service and so well looked after by Jessica and all the lovely ladies. My 2 girls were able to have treatments with me and In comparison to uk spa it was very reasonable prices for such 5* service. Very professional. Products were so good for our skin. Relaxation area was wonderful and the staff especially Jessica made it an unforgettable experience. Such attention to detail and above and beyond all my expectations. We had massages. Facial. Manicure. Pedicure. Hair cuts and body scrub over 2 visits. Absolutely faultless. The hotel rooms are very spacious. Family room was prefect for us. Large balcony. Excellent blackout curtains. Very quiet. Good air con. Excellent housekeeping. The hotel is stunning very beautiful and well maintained. Sunsets were beautiful. Water very calm. Food was excellent. We booked à la carte dinners for all 14 nights except for the 1st night. We had the buffet. Choices and variety were excellent and kids menu very good too. Very attentive waiters. Lunch à la carte at O restaurant was excellent too. So many choices and options. Beach bar. Pool bar. Food trucks. Waiter service on beach and at pool was lovely. Staff all so friendly and welcoming and so good with kids. Real personal touch. Water activities were excellent. Lovely staff at boat house. So many included with all inclusive. Gym area very good. Lots of activities there too. We enjoyed pickle ball. Mini bar shop a good idea. We visited daily and chose 6 items to take back to room. Water, coke , beer etc. lovely to have packed lunches available too. We did this several times for day trips. impossible to find any negatives. We would definitely return. Excellent location to hire car and explore island. Parking free. Plenty of sunbeds available every day. No issues getting 4 at any time of day.

My partner and I just wrapped up a 4-night stay and honestly didn’t want to leave. The hotel itself is nice and cozy — clean rooms, comfy beds, and that warm Mauritian welcome you hope for. The grounds are well-kept and it feels private without being isolated. - *Activities:* So much to do! We did the glass-bottom boat, morning yoga, and the creole cooking class. There’s snorkeling, kayaking, and live sega music by the pool. Bored is not an option here. - *Food:* The buffet had solid variety, but the à la carte restaurant was the real win. Fresh seafood and amazing curries. - *Service:* Special shoutout to *Mr Ashlay* and *Seam* in the restaurant. They remembered our drink orders from day one, gave great menu recommendations, and always checked in with genuine smiles. Mr Ashlay helped us pick the perfect wine pairing, and Seam made sure my vegetarian dishes were sorted without me even asking twice. That level of attention made dinners feel special. Only tiny note: WiFi was a bit spotty by the beach, but we were too busy enjoying the activities to care much. Would 100% come back.

Excellent service by a friendly staff who is always ready to help or provide advice. Had a great birthday experience and celebration for my youngest one. Members of the boat house are very nice, and the water activities are very pleasant.

We recently stayed at The Ravenala Attitude and it turned out to be one of the most well-rounded resort experiences we've had. The property offers a great mix of adventure and relaxation, making it ideal for both thrill-seekers and those looking to unwind. Water Sports Kayaking was a definite highlight of our stay - the staff were helpful and safety-conscious, making it enjoyable for both beginners and more experienced guests. It was a great way to explore the surroundings at a relaxed pace. Dining Food was another strong point. With 7 different restaurants on the property, there was no shortage of variety - from multi-cuisine options to individual specialty restaurants, each with its own distinct ambience. Dining never felt repetitive, and there was always something new to try. Stay The rooms were calm, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering a peaceful retreat after a day full of activities. A Small Note The only downside was that pricing felt a bit on the higher side compared to similar properties. That said, the overall experience and quality did help justify it to some extent. Overall, The Ravenala Attitude strikes a rare balance - enough excitement to keep you engaged, and enough comfort to help you truly relax. Recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful yet activity-filled getaway.

Our stay at the Ravenala Attitude Hotel with the RPOA was truly exceptional and memorable. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere, service and attention to detail made us feel welcomed and valued. The hotel itself is beautiful with a relaxing ambiance, excellent facilities and delicious food options. Everything was well organized and the staff consistently delivered service with a smile. A special thank you goes to the whole team who went above and beyond to make stay wonderful and relaxing. We have leave with unforgettable memories and will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect gateway. Thank you once more again for such a pleasant stay. Warm wishes Jeannine &Michel Levasseur

We visited for 11 nights from Scotland as a couple with a 1 year old and had the most amazing time. A great base to explore Mauritius, we did private tours of the North and South with the hotel taxis and it was so reasonable! A mention for Danny and Fezal who were fab drivers! The hotel is spotless with staff always cleaning, food was amazing particularly in the à la carte - Madame Mings was outstanding !! All of the staff are exceptional. Nothing was a problem, they were always happy and helpful and they were wonderful with our 1yo son - special shout out to Mo at the pool who served us for the 11 days, he was warm and friendly and attentive and really made the holiday SO special!!! We will never forget our trip. The kids club was good too with lots of space and toys for our 1yo, lots of shade around the pool and a shallower kids pool too. We didn’t even scratch the surface of the amount there is to do at the hotel, we will need to come back! Definitely recommend to anyone visiting as a couple or with children, you won’t regret it.

It was our first time in Mauritius, staying at The Ravenala felt like 5 star plus. Special thanks to Pawan and Ben 10 for treating us like royalty.

Best resort and very friendly staff. Best waiter at the Mozaik restaurant is Pawan, excellent and friendly service. Special thanks to Ben 10 at the Pool Bar, you were a treat. We enjoyed our time at the Resort. Will visit again!!!

Caring staff, good food at different restaurant, Nice open space... A special Thks to ROHAN who really made our vacation special and JANVI Mozabir and PREETISHA also... We highly recommend this hotel for the servitude of their staff

I had an amazing stay at The Ravenala Attitude in Balaclava, Mauritius. The hotel is beautifully located between the river and the sea, surrounded by lush tropical gardens that create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The suites were spacious, comfortable, and well maintained. One of the highlights of my stay was the variety of dining options available. The restaurants offered delicious food with something to suit every taste, and the service throughout the resort was excellent. The staff were warm, friendly, and always willing to help, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The beach and pool areas were beautiful and perfect for relaxing, while the range of activities available ensured there was always something to do. Thank you to the ravenala team for this amazing stay. See you soon

Excellent hotel, really good food. The food and drinks was always excellent during our stay. Mr Seam and Chef Pilly was very welcoming and their staff was always quick and efficient to serve us with a smile. Mr Seam was very helpful and made sure that we won't be lacking anything during our stay!

Excellent welcome. Friendly staff, and an overall fantastic experience. Will be recommending this to others.

We stayed here for 8 nights as part of our honeymoon. It certainly didn’t disappoint. We had a couple of minor issues along the way ( room card not working, no beach towel card, one night of poor service and our door being left open after cleaning). The issues were all resolved very quickly and staff were very apologetic. Outside of this, we had an incredible stay, we were never short of food options (make sure to book your evening meals on arrival). All the food was delicious and you can tell staff take real pride in their work. Really recommend the cooking class, paddle boarding, kayaking, glass bottom boat all of which are included in the all inclusive package. We also booked a massage, which was extremely relaxing and very reasonably priced. The beach was wonderful, so calm every day, you could see the fish swimming around you it was so clear. The pool was cleaned every day and was always nice to chill around throughout the day. Drink orders would be taken often so you wouldn’t have to move very far! We met some lovely staff - Abhi, Anoop, Kishan, Mozahir and Shiv to name a few. All went above and beyond to deliver an excellent service. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We would love to come back in the future.

Overall, the experience was average, although we did enjoy our stay. There were, however, several areas that could be improved. The room appeared dated and not well maintained, with a noticeable damp odour and outdated bathroom facilities, suggesting a need for renovation. Service at the bars was inconsistent, particularly at the beach bar, where staff appeared to have limited training and product knowledge. The use of QR code menus was also inconvenient and detracted from a more relaxed holiday experience. Despite these points, the staff were generally friendly & welcoming, helpful & attentive, which contributed positively to our stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and truly enjoyed the relaxing island atmosphere it offers. The location is beautiful, with a peaceful beach setting that creates the perfect environment to unwind and escape from everyday stress. One of the highlights of my stay was the warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the property. The food was delicious, with a good variety of options available, and the drinks were well-prepared and refreshing, especially when enjoyed by the beach. The service provided by the staff was excellent; everyone was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile. Some honorable mentions would be Mr Seam who help us throughout the stay, Vikram, Pawan, Ragini, and Jyoti, who provided us with great service. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, and the overall cleanliness of the hotel added to the positive experience. I also appreciated the low noise level, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. One area that could be improved is the shower facilities in the room. The shower gel dispenser cap was stuck and not functioning properly, and there appeared to be an issue with the shower system as both the overhead shower and handheld shower operated at the same time. This reduced the water pressure and made it difficult to use either shower comfortably. However, I see this as a maintenance point rather than a major problem. Apart from this small issue, everything else was very enjoyable, and the combination of great food, refreshing drinks, attentive service, comfortable accommodation, and beautiful island vibes made for a memorable stay. I would gladly return and recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway

Hospitaly in Kot Nou was superb! Siven and other staff where awesome! Food was awesome, and hostess where so nice and everything was 10/10. Greetings from Finland❤️

Our stay was truly memorable, and a big part of that was thanks to the exceptional team who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. A special thank you to Kooshal, the F&B Manager, who was incredibly attentive and accommodating. I have specific dietary preferences and cannot have cold drinks, and he ensured that room temperature beverages were always available for me — a small detail that made a huge difference to my comfort. We were also very grateful to Sous Chef Yash, who kindly prepared meals on request with great care and flexibility. His willingness to accommodate our needs did not go unnoticed. Nischal and Pawan from the restaurant staff were consistently professional, attentive, and warm throughout our stay. They anticipated our needs and made every dining experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, the service was personalized, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. It’s clear that the team takes pride in what they do, and it truly enhanced our entire experience. We would definitely return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for outstanding hospitality.

We had such an amazing stay at The Ravenala Attitude , honestly, this is a dream hotel for families with young children. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm and genuine. The reception team was lovely, especially Roma and another gentleman whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch. Minisha (the intern, if I’m not mistaken) was incredibly sweet and caring with our son. But what truly makes this place exceptional is the kids club team. They are beyond amazing , full of energy, kindness, and genuine love for children. You can feel how much they care, and it makes such a difference. Our son absolutely loved it, and as a parent, that peace of mind is priceless. Everything in this hotel is designed with families in mind. There’s a dedicated kids’ food corner, which makes mealtimes so easy, and even baby changing stations around the hotel so you don’t have to run back to your room. It’s these little details that make a big difference. The food variety was great, the boathouse team was fantastic, and our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. This is the kind of place where your kids are happy, relaxed, and entertained… and that means you get to truly enjoy your holiday too. Happy kids = happy parents. Honestly, this is not just a hotel you visit once , it’s a place you’ll keep wanting to come back to. Mr & Mrs Marion Room 4000
