Cap Malheureux Vacations from $2,071

We (husband and I) recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel in Mauritius. If you're considering this hotel primarily for its food and water sports, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Unfortunately, both aspects were a letdown during my visit. The food was mediocre at best, failing to meet the high expectations I had. I was hoping for a variation of delicious local and international flavors and dishes, but what I experienced was less than satisfactory. Similarly, the water sports were underwhelming. I attempted water activities on two separate occasions, and both times the offerings failed to impress. It felt like the experiences didn't quite live up to the excitement promised. However, if your focus is on beautiful scenic views, a relaxed atmosphere, and some tranquil moments, then the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel is definitely worth considering. The serene environment and breathtaking vistas make it an ideal spot for unwinding and enjoying the natural beauty of Mauritius. Overall, I would rate my experience at the Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel three stars. It's a lovely place to relax, but not the best choice if you're looking for great food or thrilling water sports.

We recently stayed here for our honeymoon and overall it was an okay experience. Not bad, but definitely not what we expected. Unfortunately, around 80% of the staff weren’t friendly and rarely greeted or smiled, which made the atmosphere feel a bit cold. A few staff members really stood out for their kindness though. Especially Raven, Suraj, and the bell boy (man). They were genuinely lovely and helpful and we appreciated their warmth. Breakfast was average, with limited variety, but the included dinner was surprisingly lovely and enjoyable each night. We had requested a nice sea view for our honeymoon, but sadly a large tree completely blocked the view from our room, which was quite disappointing given the occasion. Overall, it was a decent stay, but with a little more friendliness and attention to detail, it could have been so much better.

Excellent - staff impeccable; food delicious; beautiful location on the far northern tip of Mauritius. Made to feel truly special, and we loved it.
