I first found Radisson Blu online and saw the amazing reviews. And was able to book a fantastic price (ocean view & half board) for our 3 week honeymoon and our stay exceeded our expectations!! If you are able to book all inclusive!
Staff- the staff at the resort are phenomenal! So kind, caring & generous. Everyone from reception, chefs, servers, housekeeping would constantly ask if everything was good & if we needed anything. A very special shout out to the staff that took extra care of us -Jeshan, Avinash, Kevin, Lovetta, Anna and Vilma our housekeeper. Thank you so very much for making our vacation even more special!
Resort-the resort has an excellent location on the Northeast part of the island. Very quite neighborhood primarily with residential homes.
Cleanliness-the resort does an excellent job cleaning the resort! Housekeeping checks the public restrooms constantly. Our room was very clean & tidy 2 times a day! Thank you, Vilma!!
There were a lot of bugs some days due to limited wind and May (winter time). The hotel did a wonderful job trying to reduce & limit the bugs. We saw someone come through and spray insect repellent on all the trees, flowers & shrubs. Plus, the resort was fogged twice to eliminate the bugs. The hotel communicated very well to guests by leaving letters in our rooms. Thank you!
Getting around- We booked a rental car for our vacation but ended booking the resorts private taxi for day tours & trips. The hotel offers wonderful tours and excellent/fair prices. We were even able to customize day trips! Thank you! If you are fortunate enough to get Vicki as your taxi driver you will not be disappointed!!! He was an excellent, safe, kind & friendly driver. He booked and drove us for all our trips. Thank you, Vicki!! We did a Southwest day trip, booked a private cooking class, one day for scuba diving, tea manufacturing plant/rum distillery/vanilla plantation & a stop to a fantastic mall & a beer at Flying Dodo Microbrewery another day, and a day trip to checkout Port Louis.
Music-each evening there was special music (live bands, DJ, etc.) Very nice touch.
Food- The food was absolutely delicious! Breakfast has a huge selection. Lunch and supper buffet in the main dining room. Every evening there was a special cuisine (British, Greek, Asian, Mauritian, Tex-Mex, Italian) and the restaurant has an excellent lunch & supper menus. Definitely pay the extra for BBQ night, you will not be disappointed!
Sorry for the lengthy review but what to highlight all the very special things this resort has to offer!
