The noise! If you like blasting music; screaming, undisciplined children; and ignorant families who yell at each other from all over the property, then, between the direct neighbours partying all day (10:00 am to midnight) for three days straight and the ignorant guests yelling at each other from all over the property, as if it's their private estate, Villa Narmada is the place for you!

You'll also be content if you feel \"security\" means a wide open front lobby door at 1:30 am and the \"guard\" (the elderly grandfather of the owning family) fast asleep on the sofa, such that I just walked in and past him without waking him at all. (I mean, Mauritius is a very safe country. But, still, other places have gates and alert attendants.) The safe in my room was also an ancient relic, the instructions for which were impossible to understand. At least the closet had a lock and key.

Otherwise, sure, the furniture is second-hand, but, the cleaning staff do a dilligent job, everything worked, the pool was well maintained, and management was friendly.

Misleading

No hot water for first 3 days of holiday. Staff were telling us when we should shower if we wanted hot water. Staff failed to realise my mother is a local Mauritian and when they were speaking about is in Creole my mother understood everything they were saying and she was shocked at how they were speaking about the customers who were staying at the facility. The sofas are all second hand ones that they buy and refurbish and the leather used is not fire retardant and the leather is just stapled onto the actual wooden sofa. Jacuzzi has not worked in years, yet they are busy building an extension to the apartments without even putting any effort into the premises they already have. Security working the front office was drunk every evening as well.

It is a good value for money. The great thing was that we were upgraded from room to apartment (balcony, kitchen and more space). Staff were very polite and communication was easy. Receptionist helped us with some tips, arranging the rent-a-car and transport from/to the airport. We were allowed to have a late check-out which we really appreciated.
The only negative thing was that surrounding streets didn’t have street lights so it was not very pleasant in the evening (not because of safety but simply unpleasant)

Booked a 2 bed apartment but had to take two separate rooms. No WiFi in my room, no air conditioning on arrival, safes were locked on arrival and never opened so had to strategically hide valuables, shower head kept falling down so had to hold the shower head, shower took a long time to get warm, no air conditioning in bathroom so very warm through day and night. Hardly saw staff on reception so unable to ask for help/maps etc.

Run by a family. We had a big appartment for 5 people including 3 kids with half board. Staff and family members were very friendly and helpful. Diner is served at sisters restaurant in Grand Bay. We got picked up for diner and dropped off afterwards.

The hotel has a nice big swimming pool. The hotel is close to shops where you can buy everything you need. You can walk to the beach in about 10-15 minutes.

Not Villa Nirvana.

On the downside, the bed was very hard, cold water showers until rectified after two complaints. Internet password was withheld like classified information, and manageress, Ruth, would insert the password on our devices herself. This was frustrating and annoying, to say the least. On the upside, the place is well situated, being only a short stroll to the Super U and other conveniences in Grand Bay.

The rooms are clean and they have everything you need. The place is located within 7 minutes of walking to restaurants and the super U grocery store. I don't think I can recommend this place any more! Enjoy your stay.

Not really ....don't even think about it.

The Villa is on \"road\" which is basically dirt; no ashphalt no nothing. It did have a guard which was there all the time and this was comforting. The place had old furniture. The leg of the bed in one of the room broke when we sat on it because it was rotten (we are all slim and fit) and it took them 4 days to fix it, time in which my dad slept on a not so straight bed. As a positive, it was close to the supermarket!

The staff is very kind, each and every one of them. Maybe not too swift in replying the emails, that has to be improved, for sure.
The structure is in a great spot, 5 minutes walking to many restaurants and to the beachfront, however it is pretty quiet given the fact that it is located in a secondary alley.

The room is huge and has all the facilities for cooking, if you want to dine inside, and it had a lovely patio with pool view where you can chill out.
Breakfast was nothing special but anyway was good and did its job.

The room was cleaned every day, but definitely not thouroughly, they could do a lot better on that aspect. I had hair both in the shower and on the kitchen floor (and I'm balding, so I dare anyone to say it was mine!). The pillow cover was stained from the beginning and never changed.
And please, provide at least one little soapbar or something to shower...I get that this is a cheap accommodation (and I always bring some emergency stuff), but a hotel soapbar costs pretty much nothing and makes every guest happier.

Sentral beliggenhet ift butikker som stormarked. Ikke wifi tilgang på rommene. Kun få av personalet som kunne snakke engelsk.
Kunne ønsket meg litt mer vennlighet og i møterommene personal, personalet som vasket rommene gjorde en fantastisk jobb.
Under vårt opphold bodde det andre gjester som tok helt over fellesarealene, de fikk tilsnakk uten at det hjalp. Mye unødvendig støy, selvom vi var på vårt eget rom. Kommer ikke til å bo der igjen.

Ruth, très gentille, a été à notre écoute pour nos demandes, sorties...repas... Comme nous avons perdu nos bagages, elle nous a proposé de faire le nécessaire. Même à 22h, on a pu s’arranger pour avoir nos repas à la Villa Narmada (car il n’y a pas de restaurant sur place).
Le nettoyage est fait chaque jour, sauf le dimanche. Sheila, qui était chargée du ménage a été très sympa avec nous, et a fait du bon boulot, malgré la présence de 3 enfants, elle s'organisait pour nettoyer lorsqu'ils étaient dans la piscine, et avant les siestes. Travail impeccable.

Hotellin henkilökunta oli erittäin joustavaa meidän erikoistoiveen suhteen. Lyhyt matka kävellä rannalle ja bussipysäkille, josta pääsee lähirannoille ja pääkaupunkiin. Erittäin todennäköisesti palaan hotelliin toisenkin kerran.

Hotelli on hyvällä sijainnilla lyhyen matkan päästä ostoskeskuksesta sekä rannoista. Grand Baien ja La Cuvetten ranta on kävelymatkan päässä. Pereyberen ja Mont Choisyn ranta on lyhyen taksimatkan päässä. Itse ihastuimme Pereyberen rantaan. Meidän hotellihuone oli alakerrassa, josta oli vain muutama askel uima-altaaseen. Allas oli siisti. Siivous oli joka päivä ja pyyhkeet vaihdettiin samalla. Kaikin puolin mukava hotelli. Ainoat miinuspuolet olivat silloin tällöin temppuileva oven lukko sekä tallelokero, johon ei ollut avainta. Hotellia suosittelen heille, jotka haluavat rauhallista hotellia rauhallisella sijainnilla.
