The unique thing about this property is that Gert and Marlene treat everyone as individuals and you soon feel part of the family. They have really taken on board the Mauritian way and that translates into a really relaxed vibe. Wonderful food and a great night's sleep! Highly recommend if you want an authentic experience that is a stone's throw from a paradise beach!

Devrait être rénové

Le personnel est très sympathique et serviable, à l’image des Mauriciens. Toujours prêt à nous arranger et faciliter notre séjour. La proximité du club de plongée est un réel plus. Malheureusement les chambres n’ont pas dû être rénovées depuis une quinzaine d’années et il peut y avoir des odeurs d’humidité. Les photos ne reflètent pas du tout l’état de l’établissement.

Host Denis was very professional, helpful, efficient and friendly. He spoke many languages French, English, German Italian. The staff were very helpful also. The room with garden view was clean, quiet and spacious. Location on main road was easy to find but not noisy. Parking opposite hotel. Restaurant service excellent with set menu or a la carte. Other restaurants and shops within walking. Trou aux Biches beach also walking distance or sit on rock wall watching sunset. The reflection of setting sun on water appears red like fire. Would definitely stay again when in Mauritius

What a wonderful discovery. La Tonnelle is run by a delightful host, Denis, who knows the island inside and out and has lots of wonderful stories and suggestions. The rooms are simple and comfortable, and the hotel is just a few steps away from one of the nicest beaches on the island. Walking distance from restaurants (though food at the hotel is great too) and supermarkets and pharmacy. Though the hotel isn't beachfront, there is a private beach club, where you can rent lounges and umbrellas for a minimal fee, is nearby, so you can still get the resort experience with out paying resort prices.

Schönes Hotel in direkter Strandnähe. Vor allem hat uns die besondere Atmosphäre gefallen, die durch das sehr zuvorkommende Team gestaltet wurde. Abends essen die Gäste i.d.R. gemeinsam an einem Tisch. So kann man sich mit anderen Gästen über interessante Ausflugziele austauschen. Das ist super wenn man das erste Mal auf Mauritius ist. Uns als Pärchen sind durch die netten Kontakte nie die Ideen für Ausflugsziele ausgegangen. Der Besiter der Anlage und seine Frau essen i.d.R. gemeinsam und geben auf Wunsch weitere Anregungen und stehen für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. Kurz: Super Unterkunft! Wir können es wärmstens empfehlen!

First of all, it NOT on the beach. You must exit the property and either walk across the road for a beach view ONLY (it’s the fish dock). OR walk 400-500 paces for beach access. That being said, the staff were friendly and welcoming and food was good for dinner

Urlaub mit Anschluss!

Das Angebot des Table d'Hôte zeichnet das Hotel aus! Das Essen ist vorzüglich und der Gastgeber bereichert die Abende mit tollen Geschichten und Tipps. Hier wird man nicht abgezockt, sondern weitergeholfen! Mein Einzelzimmer war schön und hatte ein schönes Bad. Das Frühstück ist auch gut und bietet eine zufriedenstellende Auswahl. Ich war in der Nebensaison, weshalb es ruhiger und das Angebot eher eingeschränkt war. Das Wetter war nicht so gut, es hat häufig genieselt und tagsüber wehte ein frischer Wind. Trotzdem gibt es viel zu unternehmen und zu entdecken, wenn man sich darauf einlässt .
