Could we have a description/photo of seat (bed?) and what's there (power points, IFE etc), please?
The air mauritius one? It’s exactly the same as google images. It’s wide enough, but the seats hard up against the aisle are really bad… you literally feel like you are *in* the aisle. Row 1 is even worse, and no benefits like wider or longer footwells.
For a couple I would book two true window seats, even though they will be two rows apart.
The food is ‘ok’ as mentioned above. Out of PER is was maybe a 5.5. Out of Mauritius it was much better, maybe a 7.
IFE… BYO. It really is one of the worst.
Service is attentive, again as mentioned above.
Looking forward to trying Air Mauritius J later this year.
Any Mauritius hotel recommendations?
Can recommend the Beach Club Pereybere. Small boutique hotel, very reasonable in price.
Otherwise the Villas Caroline in Flic en Flac. Again a boutique hotel.
For the big resorts… Royal Palm, La Pirogue, take your pick. Would avoid Bel Ombre.
The tricky thing is getting a beach that is (dead) coral and rock free and allows good swimming. Many of the hotels won’t show you the water directly in front of them… that usually means rocks and the like. Need to do research and cross-reference with pictures from other sources. Or tripadvisor.
The beaches around Grand Baie… Pereybere and the sting of beaches along that part of the island are considered some of the best for swimming, along with Blue Bay.
Finding a good restaurant can be hard. Most if not all of the resort hotels offer half board and nightly entertainment. There’s not much point trying to find something better outside.
