Zilwa Attitude

Zilwa has the wow factor as you enter the hotel and the view blows you away. Just returned from a fabulous fortnight. Stayed in a privilege beachfront room that has a wonderful view over the beach and a jacuzzi on the balcony. Would recommend paying the extra for this treat. Food was good in all the restaurants but nothing beats lor disab on the beach. Real peaceful and romantic and unique. Food here outstanding in the evening. The grand zil bbq on the island was super too alomg with the feeling of being on a desert island of calm tranquility The staff everywhere were cheerful, friendly and always had time for a chat. Would recommend going on the sunrise trip booked through the hotel as go on a local fishermans boat to watch it rise with a great sandwich and coffee whilst you out in the ocean . My husband then went fishing with him and caught his lunch which he thoroughly enjoyed eating. He said they caught alot which was great for him as he has fished in other parts of the world and not caught a thing due to overfishing. If you like to be active paddle boarding, kayaking, pedaloes available to use amd the boat house team are always their with a smile to help. Always found somewhere to sit on the beach or around the pools. Loved the pool on the beach. Am already looking to book again next year. Would highly recommend this hotel and take the negative reviews as a pinch of salt. No where will please everyone. Take a visit if you are thinking of Mauritius. We have stayed in different places all over the world And zilwa will not disappoint.

We chose Mauritius due to it's location being more or less half way between Oz and the U.K. The hotel kids club was another factor when deciding where to stay. The island is so nice and the people so very welcoming. The Zilwa met our expectations in many ways. We were a party of six adults and three children, ranging in age from 11 months to 2 x 4 year olds. The club kept the 4 year olds entertained in a safe and fun environment which in turn allowed the parents to relax and enjoy the hotel and it's facilities. Our rooms were simply furnished in Mauritian style and kept very clean. The hair dryer (if being picky) could do with a much longer lead. The views from the hotel were beautiful and very calming. The restaurants from the buffet to the al la carte were delightful. Always something tasty and very well presented.. The staff generally were so friendly, smiley and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Our main disappointment was the beach. It is a man made beach and the sand is very gritty and somewhat painful to walk on. Jelly shoes are provided. The water on the shore line was murky and there was coral debri on the foreshore. Lovee and Amerish were excellent in attending to our needs as was the lady at the egg station most mornings. Always there with a smile.

We"ve been twice in this fabulous hotel. It was absolutely terrific. The hotel itself is beautiful, it is designed in the pure Mauritian concept. The pool area is lovely, room is large and the grounds are expansive and extremely well maintained. The staff were wonderful, especially Rusha at the reception. She is outstanding. Food is too good we cannot compare to anywhere else. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and will be back soon.
