Jennifer looked after us during our stay at Villa Banyan and was helpful & friendly and easy to reach. The villas are well maintained and located in a beautiful setting beside a pool and beach area. The view was spectacular every day despite the cyclone weather. We will definitely be returning to stay in the future - Merci pour tous!

A memorable stay!
Our stay at Villas Bayan was absolutely great. We had a wonderful time there. The villas are extremely well situated in the authentic village of Grand Gaube, with a gorgeous view on the sea and the pirogues. The place is very welcoming, quiet and well entertained. We enjoyed the nice swimming pool, that was very clean, just like the villas. Sabrina and Mica, in particular, are wonderful hosts, and talented cooks. I would strongly recommend tasting their delicious cuisine. Besides, they were attentive to every possible detail to make sure that we were felt happy and comfortable, and that our stay would be memorable. This was particularly important because we were a family of 12, with people from varied age.We enjoyed their smile, their friendliness and professionalism. I highly recommend the place.

Relaxation with a view
My family and I spent 2 glorious weeks over Xmas and the new year at Villas Banyan and we thoroughly enjoyed the simple and clean accommodation as well as the pool and the access to the beach, not to mention the fun fishing boat trips and food cooked by the lovely Sabrina. The staff at Villas Banyan are wonderful, nothing was too much trouble, we had an endless supply of coconuts and tropical fruit and Sabrina did everything she could to make us feel comfortable. It was a great break from city life and I would definitely return in a heartbeat!

Une belle découverte
Incontestablement, les points forts des Villas Banyan sont leur localisation face à la mer, dans un village qui a su garder son authenticité en échappant au bétonnage de la côte. La villa est simple mais bien agencée, notamment sa vaste pièce à vivre au rez-de-chaussée, avec sa terrasse côté jardin et sa vue piscine/mer. Nous remercierions toute l’équipe pour son accueil, sa gentillesse, son professionnalisme et pour cet agréable séjour à Maurice. Jean-Pierre

Il posto è bellissimo, Ma troppe cose mal funzionanti, come il condizionatore e il cancello automatico. Cose che dovrebbero essere controllate prima dell'arrivo degli ospiti, e NON con gli ospiti in casa... Soprattutto perché si dovrebbe trattare di un complesso di un certo livello. La piscina pulitissima, ma la pulizia della casa veramente PESSIMA!. Abbiamo dovuto chiedere il cambio delle lenzuola e spesso anche che venissero fatte le pulizie stesse. Lavatrice disponibile ma chiusa a chiave, e quando noi eravamo presenti, nella struttura non c'era mai nessuno. Consiglierei un supervisor nella struttura per controllare che le tutto sia fatto come deve esser fatto!. Un vero peccato. Georges è stato comunque disponibilissimo sebbene fosse dall'altra parte del mondo… e ha fatto il possibile per sistemare le cose!

We had a good time, thank you! I think people working there, are making it good. Villa's self could be freshen up a bit though. Swimming pool is clean, wi-fi is ok, supermarket is not far away. Good location to explore the West Side. Its possible to arrange food, which is good and reasonably priced.

Jolie résidence de six villas bien entretenue. L’accueil est parfait. Les deux femmes qui s’en occupent sont très serviables et très agréables. La piscine et le jardin sont nettoyés quotidiennement. La villa également. Le tout est propre. Seules les salles de bain étaient moins impeccables que le reste. La plage publique derrière est jolie mais il y a des déchets qui traînent. L’environnement est un peu bruyant la nuit. Le tout est un bon rapport qualité prix.

Confort et repos
Nous avons passé, nos 2 enfants et nous, une agréable semaine. Arrivés trop tard pour être reçu par Sabrina et Mika, nous avons été accueilli par les très gentils gardiens. La villa est parfaite, il y a tout le confort nécessaire. Le séjour s'est parfaitement bien déroulé, tout le monde est soucieux du confort des "invités", car nous sommes presque plus cela que des clients. Encore merci à tous, en espérant revenir pour pouvoir goûter à de nouveaux plats préparés par Sabrina et Mika, et partager un moment un peu plus long que cette fois ci !!

Nice villa. Friendly staff.
Nice villa with all amnemities. Located 50 from beach. You have to unlock a gate to go to the beach. The water is quite shallow right outside the villas. 100m south walking the beach you'll find good place to take a swim. Great pool 1.0 to1.7m deep + kids /chill area 0.5m deep. Wi-Fi was quit fast (7Mb up / 1Mb down) but disconnected some times. The area has really no restaurants worth naming. You can get meals cooked (Mauritian food. E.g. lobster) by Sabrina who handles the facility. We didn't try this though. There's a really good Peruvian restaurant at LUX Resort (they also have 4 other restaurants). Totally recommend this restaurant! 2min driving north. They also have tennis, golf range, etc... Grand Gaube is mostly locals, fishermen, etc. Recommend going to Grand Baie or Cap Maulhaureaux for restaurants. If you're gone scuba dive I recommend going by "Just Diving In Mauritius Scuba Diving" - Djabeda wreck was nice site. Recommend hiring a car if you're restless like me. ;) // Björn

Vaste villa dans un bel environment
L'environment de la villa est bien avec un acces a la plage a quelques metres.La villa est tres grande (plus de 100m2) Les gerants sont tres gentils et facilite le sejour. Ils proposent des repas. Le probleme vient de l'absence de produits pour la cuisine et la salle de bain tel que le sel, l'huile mais aussi le papier toilette , gel douche ce qui est generalement fourni dans des appartements. La superette attenante comble quelques besoins mais pas tous. Les taxis peuvent amener a grand baie pour les courses assez facilement. Le materiel de la villa merite une renovation
