Had a fantastic time! The facilities were perfrect, well maintained and clean. staff were helpful and hospitable in general. We could also see dolphins swimming near the resort. Very happy with our stay.

Only minor point is that dinner reservations at the restaurants on site can be a bit tricky (e.g. we were given a later booking even though the restaurant wasn’t busy at the time we requested).

Where can I start! The grounds are stunning, rooms very clean.. staff is absolutely amazing. Food is also top notch at all of the restaurants. The morning buffet is amazing and the dinner buffet is equally amazing although to me just a tad pricey. We stayed in a suite and I can tell you that it was very comfortable. A bit aged but very comfortable. I would recommend this property 100 percent.

The most amazing hotel we have both stayed in.
The views and location are incredible.. the ocean view rooms are stunning, spacious with large balconies.
The food was amazing.. even the buffet was great. We ate at each restaurant once and loved every one.
The staff are absolutely outstanding. The most respectful, helpful and friendly people.. nothing was too much effort for them.
We had the privilege of dining at ocean vista one evening where we got engaged… the sommelier allowed my fiancé to open the champagne with a sabre and gave us the cork as a memento.
The only slight negative we have… when we checked in they noticed it was my birthday while we were there and said they would decorate the room and asked what flavour cake we wanted… unfortunately neither of these things happened which we were disappointed with.
Overall an incredible stay and we will 100% be back!

Absolutely loved our time in Mauritius, and particularly our time at the Westin Turtle Bay Resort. The resort itself is absolutely amazing, spacious and boasts most amenities one may require, including a full gym and spa, two beautiful massive pools (one for families, other for adults only), five different restaurants with a great variety of foods, extensive coastline (be mindful of sea urchins - although the sea life among the corals once inside the sea is breath taking!) and a boat house offering most water sports, including diving!
Only thing missing was a small shopping centre nearby as getting any shopping involves a spot of travel.
Additionally, the staff made our stay the most memorable holiday we have had to date. The food and beverage crew, from management through their amazing chefs including Rudy and Akash, to the waiting staff, particularly Seam, Roshan and Raja ensure each and every request we had was accommodated promptly, and in superb fashion.
The pool side team, lead by Jerome and Steeven, including Noah, Nass and Dylan made sure we had absolutely the most incredible holiday!
We cannot wait to be back there, and we've only just got home 💜~💜~

I recently visited and had a generally pleasant stay. The green space around the property was beautiful, creating a sense of tranquility that was perfect for unwinding. The pool was a standout feature — great for relaxation and very well-maintained.

Cleanliness throughout the facility was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing. I felt at ease and truly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.

However, the experience wasn’t entirely perfect. The food options and quality were very disappointing, and the layout of the food stations was disorganized and chaotic, making it difficult to navigate. Additionally, the staff didn’t seem particularly eager to help, which was a bit of a letdown.

While the setting was wonderful, there are areas that need improvement, particularly when it comes to food and customer service. If you’re a frequent traveler to the Gulf States, you might find this experience underwhelming.

Where do i start. They took me around in golf carts so i dont have to walk in the sun and heat, they had the best staff team ive met in all my life, the food was amazing not a single thing to complain about. The hotel was clean, cool and there was lots of things to do. I was helped mostly by Yash, Rajvir, Sarvesh, Atish, Ben, avi and the house keeping lady.
The hotel had a games room and snooker room that i used every night, entertainment every night at the retreat, bar open all day and night and coconut stall. The spa and massage was amazing, quite expensive but was amazing. I did not walk past a single staff member without them greeting me in such a kind way and bowing their heads. I truly felt like i owned the place. The two pools were the perfect temperature at all times and were very clean.
Some of the people that stayed at the hotel were very rude to the staff members and i really feel bad they received this treatment.
Overall, the hotel was the best hotel ive stayed at with the most friendliest staff ever. The hospitality is unmatched. You will not regret a single thing about booking this hotel.

I loved the way the hotel is spread out & styled, gives it very resort, village vibes rather than a typical hotel. Beach - not the biggest fan, as there isn’t a proper one, mostly rocky & inaccessible in some areas (saw the hotels on Troux Aux Beach with plenty of sandy beach leading to the ocean with no rocks.
Service was inconsistent, slow (atleast 6-7 times they completely forgot or never brought our drink orders, especially in Pool, Retreat Bar & Beach Grill Restaurant). Most staff were nice. You can clearly tell the staff tend to focus on guests from certain part of the world..just an observation.
Our confirmation had “Ocean King Junior Suite” sold to us. We barely had ocean view, as we were on ground floor facing mainly the lawns & tree views. So need to double check on this.
All in all - OK & nice, but not returning to this hotel. Mauritius - Yes, but perhaps try another five star hotel , that delivers more in a different location.

We had a very good week at The Westin Turtle Bay. We had a brilliant room (Junior Suite Ocean Grand Deluxe) with 2 double beds, shower, bath and two basins.
The food was very good quality. We only ate in the buffet restaurant once - it was very good - but we wanted to explore the restaurants. We did the lobster night at the Beach Grill and the teppanaki experience at Fusion. Both of these upgrades were 10/10 for food and atmosphere. We also upgraded to the Mystique night with fire dancing. In our opinion, this wasn’t worth the upgrade although the fire dancers were good. The Indian restaurant (Kangan) was particularly good, super fresh tasting Indian cuisine.
We did half board then upgraded to all inclusive for the last day. All inclusive isn’t really worth it unless you are heavy drinkers and a lot of the drinks/food had a supplement that was the same for half board/all inclusive.
We indulged in the spa. The treatments were pricey but very good, especially the massages and the facial. We booked a number of treatments and received a discount which was very good.
The staff were brilliant. Very friendly. Service could be a tiny bit slow at times but you’re on holiday so what’s the rush?! Some key people to mention are Vashakie for his services at Kangan, Preet & Siwi for incredible massages, Jevin for front of house assistance, Meeram for cleaning our room and Nass for poolside attendance.
All in all a great stay and we would recommend. We hired a car so could explore too.

Excellent stay at the Westin.

We would especially like to say a big thanks to Kamini who kept our room in spotless condition and was very friendly, a real star at the hotel.

Also the staff running the Heavenly Spa, they went out of their way to accommodate us when it was very busy on a few occasions when we visited.

The bookable restaurants were superb although some dishes can be a bit too spicy at times.

The International restaurant had a nice selection of different food but sometimes the heated containers holding food weren’t hot enough and sometimes the food in them was lukewarm.

The other small issue was that a lot of salt was used in some dishes, this could be avoided by letting customers have the choice to add this themselves, I personally don’t put salt in my food so I really noticed this.

Please be aware that there is no public transport available near the Hotel, so if you’re not hiring a car then you’re going to have to rely on cabs, this can be a bit expensive and if you’re wanting so explore the island you’ll need to consider these costs.
Of course this is not the fault of the hotel but we found that getting your own cabs can be quite a bit cheaper than booking a cab through the hotel themselves, sometimes a big difference in price.

Overall we had a great stay, all staff were friendly and helpful, from the cleaning staff to the hotel managers, and not forgetting the gardeners maintaining the beautiful gardens.

The Westin’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Fantastic post-COVID stay!

It was truly an amazing experience after not traveling for almost three years it was a beautiful unexpected experience! The staff were truly amazing, Jesh, Ashana, Adam, Neha and so many more including all the managers. Adam at the retreat even let me name a drink after me! ( the Sea Breeze, pictured).
We didn’t realize it was a wellness resort when we first booked, so the food wasn’t always to our liking and preferred more variety like more Italian or Mediterranean themed nights as it was heavily based on curries and spiced foods (which is still lovely and local). However we ended up loving the wellness theme toward the end!

The entertainment was also very appealing in the main lobby section, kept us entertained on the cold and rainy nights (not that many considering it’s winter!)

Just overall a beautiful experience and will recommend over and over.

The entrance to the hotel is nice and there is a nice walk way to the beach from the lobby. The adult pool was okay, but a lot of bird poo on the floor just as you enter the pool. We had to request for this to be thoroughly cleaned, which was actioned immediately. However we as the customer should not have to highlight this to the hotel managers and instead should be maintained regularly. The pool staff weren't very attentive, we had to wait over 20 minutes for a drink and it wasn't busy at all. We highlighted our concerns with the hotel manager and catering manager who quick started to make changes to the operations of the hotel and we could see a big difference after a few more hours. The service got better from day 2 onwards and pretty much all the staff knew our names and greeted us nicely throughout the stay.

Around 3:45pm we get our room, but we didn't understand why we wait that long time, because our room wasn't cleaned properly... We made a half board upgrade, so we get dinner, but the food was not really good. Every night was \"International\" and one additional type of food. The International here mean = Indian food......

If you want a mediocre resort with TERRIBLE service, the Westin is your resort. I cannot tell you how disappointed we were with our stay here. No one in the entire resort ever smiled at us or offered help. It felt like a bad cruise ship! It was overcrowded with a fend for yourself attitude. The gym is worse than any Holiday Inn. it was a small white room with tiny windows, trash everywhere, no wipes or towels, and VERY dirty equipment. The food was awful, but the nonexistent service was what was most disappointing. Our room also leaked water and smelled like mildew. The room offers no privacy as it has no doors or solid walls between the bathroom and bedroom. We went three days with no new towels or cleaning of our room...yet they always remembered to check the mini bar!!!! Obviously, money was the only concern here. When the cleaning staff finally came, it was at 10 pm!!!!! Unacceptable! I would never, ever stay there again or recommend it.

Breakfast buffet has a good selection, but didn't change much from day to day. We also ate at Kagan, which was just ok and at Mystic on the sushi night, which was very good.

The main restaurant served a great buffet breakfast and dinner with a wide selection of food. The beach was peaceful and there was a wide range of water sports on offer which were free of charge. There was an adults only pool which was a nice quiet area to relax, next to the beach grill which was a great spot for lunch. The only small negative comments are the cost of drinks and the uncomfortable balcony chairs. Otherwise, they had thought of everything. All our requests were quickly fulfilled and we slept extremely well in the very comfortable bed. Highly recommend!

Stunning location and incredible staff

We had a highly enjoyable and relaxing stay at the Westin Turtle Bay Resort for our honeymoon. The location is stunning but a little out of the way so you need to hire a car or take a taxi to get out and about to explore the island. The hotel offers a range of activities (mostly complimentary) such as boat trips, water sports and cooking classes - all of which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent choice of places to eat at the hotel and delicious food. Hotel staff are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to help you. A huge thanks goes to Jean, Ardash, Ashwin and Kavishnak to name but a few.

Stunning setting. Junior suite had three balconies. A bit distant from attractions on the island, but the locals said the weather was better in that part of the island.

Wonderful place to stay.

We had a suite with a superb view over the ocean and a huge balcony on 2 sides. It was a delight to stay in. The hotel is ideally placed for exploring Mauitius but also spacious and well resourced if you just want to relax. The access to the Executive Lounge that comes with the suite was a tremendous benefit with snacks and drinks readily available and nice places to sit. Additionally the staff throughout the hole are friendly, warm, polite and very helpful. We will definitely stay there again.

Unfortunate wrong time wrong staff

I think this hotel is good apart from a waiter who I reported to management was very very rude. Management apologized. Also the check out was mixed up and also I received an apology. Apart from that a good hotel and pleasant stay.

Westin Turtle Bay Resort Review - May 2017

For a Five Star Hotel, the facilities were quite poor. The shower knob came off in my hand. The shower gel provided often did not contain gel but just water. The cordless telephone by the bedside did not work at all. When we asked the Service Assistance, we were informed that it was being charged. Yes it was being charged for the five days we were here and was clearly unusable.
The positives. The Room was wonderful, the bath tub superb, the beds ultra comfortable and watching the sunrise sitting in the balcony sipping coffee was outstanding.
The hotel did not have too many vegetarian options but two people deserve special mention. Executive Chef Kiran who organized south indian breakfast for us - which was really good; and Mystique Manager Kavi - who ensured we had great vegetarian food when we went to the restaurant.
One major area of disappointment, my daughter had several bruises and we wanted a band aid - when I went to the clinic, the person in charge of the clinic was quite rude and quoted rules to say that only two band aids can be given to a room. nobody hoards band aids and these are sought only when necessary.
Overall the team at Westin was extremely cooperative and solicitous.
Though the hotel has in-house water sports facilities, the team there were not encouraging snorkeling stating that if we did not know swimming they wouldn't allow snorkeling. however, without knowing swimming, we did snorkeling on way to benitiers island.

Nice hotel, especially if you travel with kids

Great room and nice bathroom, good bed and linen. The rooms by the large pool very noise as the sound of screaming children echoes on the building. If you want a quiet room ask for the middle block or the block by the quiet pool. The quiet pool is a whisper pool, which sounds nice, but staff say nothing when there are noisy people, for example people deciding to Skype with their family/friends at quiet pool.
Beach bar and Kanga, friendly staff, quick service, good food. Mystic, Fusion and Main Restaurant, staff not really friendly, they just do their job. Good was not good in all of these restaurants. Every morning at breakfast they come to ask to join for the special evenings, which cost about €65 pp on top of the amount paid already for dinner. The fact that they came to ask everybody to join means the evenings are not very popular, otherwise you won't need to beg. Wine is overpriced in all restaurants, for example a wine that costs €8.50 in shop is €55. 500ml beer is €9. On all inclusive, you get een cheaper wines.
We did have a nice stay at Westin but would next time choose a hotel that is not so orientated on children but more for adults, and also a hotel that is not so massive. I guess the hotel has about 190 rooms which is 400 to 450 people depending on how many children are extra in the rooms.

Superb resort ,lovely beach , great gym and spa

We loved everything about the resort. Check in was a breeze and welcome was excellent. Concierge very helpful for taxi and booking tours etc. Family Room was good and clean and a few steps to the beach. Pools were lovely though we preferred the ocean. Beach was good we did a lot of snorkeling and saw beautiful sea life. We also used the Maritim beach which was great and they have alot of coral that's side too for snorkeling .Boat house team were helpful enjoyed the water sports from there. Hotel is in a good location not far from Port Louis and Grand Bay.We booked half board and it was sufficient though buying drinks was expensive . Food was generally good ,though breakfast was the same everyday for 8 days we got tired of the breakfast.Staff were friendly and helpful. All in all we had a great time at the Westin turtle bay

Lovely hotel with nice open design.

The staff is incredibly attentive and kind. Food options are many - be sure to make reservations a day in advance if you are interested in dinner anywhere other than the buffet. Access to waterspouts was great - we loved diving with Easy Divers.

Beautiful hotel, terrible staff and food!!

What a shame that a multimillion pound hotel set in beautiful settings is let down by awful staff with next to no training and food that would be considered 1-2 Star anywhere in the world.

Nice but needs work

We were a bit disappointed with our stay, mainly because of ongoing maintenance problems. We had to leave our first suite after the first day because despite trying to fix the aircon, it was broken and the room smelled moldy. The second suite was bigger and very nice though there was no hot water in the second bathroom. Again they tried continually to fix it, it meant that we had workmen in and out of our room constantly. The management did apologize and gave us a bottle of champagne but despite being Starwood Preferred guests, I don't think we would return. We have stayed in several other hotels in Mauritius that we will come back to.

Excellent stay-really enjoyable!

My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights in December. Excellent service and a great place to relax and have a break. Their top priority is your comfort and the staff are extremely polite and professional and do everything they can to ensure you have a comfortable stay. They do not say no to anything you ask for!! One of the best places I have stayed at and certainly a place I would recommend to family and friends. Its a bit far out from everywhere so if you want to explore the surroundings yourself it s better to rent a car and it may be cheaper to organise this yourself rather than through the hotel itself. Food is a bit pricey if you are not on an all-inclusive plan but on the whole a great place to stay! They even made me a nice complimentary cake on my birthday!!

Great hotel, but not amazing for the price

Enjoyed my stay and the staff were great, just a few things that grated on me given it is supposedly 5 star and not cheap. Bare in mind I was staying B&B and a lot of people are HB or all-in which may have made a difference. The buffet in the evening is not great at all and for the price is rediculous. Kangan restaurant is amazing, but you don;t want the same limited menu each night plus it is often booked up. We found it cheaper to get a local scooter and drive to a local restaurant and the food was better and more varied.
Drinks v pricey and the cocktails were average for the price.
Room generally very good with great bathroom although one day we did have dirty earbuds delivered which was gross.
Rest of the stay however was top notch, great guys taught us sailing and water-skiing and everyone is friendly. overall great but if you want 5 star there must be better.
