Had a wonderful 10 day stay at Chantauvent. Behind the hotel is Blue Bay beach, one of the best beaches in Mauritius. Great opportunity to snorkel and see marine life. Some decent restaurants nearby and airport is only 10 mins away. Staff were helpful and friendly and the room was in good condition

First off the lady at the check in was not nice at all. The guy at the restaurant was extremely nice. Then my room was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING and small it was a room under a stairway straight out of harry potter. The room was covered in these black wing fly things. Like all over they didn't even spray the room before I came. I got there and they literally told me to spray it myself. I have asthma and I could not spray it before I slept. To be fair to them the location and the food was good. But the price of the room if I paid a little more I would have gotten a better hotel. The door to the room is a glass sliding good with a curtain if it is not closed anyone can see inside. The bathroom door is a sliding door that doesnt even work. So if I am sitting on the toilet and the curtains are open anyone can see straight inside. HONESTLY, for the money I paid it was not worth it and it was DISGUSTING! The size of the room i could have probablyh lived with even the not working bathroom dog and glass sliding door. BUT THE BLACK FLY BUGS THINGS !! THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE!

Die Unterkunft ist deutlich in die Jahre gekommen, das wäre nicht so schlimm wenn die Sauberkeit dafür stimmen würde. Was ich als sehr unangenehm empfunden habe war, dass drei sehr ungepflegte Hunde beim Essen rumspazierten. Sie saßen auch an den Tischen und haben gebettelt. Der eine Hund hatte lange Haare, total verfilzt und sämtliches Gestrüpp im Fell. Sehr unappetitlich

Ganz ok

Die Unterkunft ist ok, und j ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen. Die Küche in meinem Zimmer war fürs Kochen nicht geeignet. Die Zimmer im hinteren Bereich sind eher durchschnittlich und relativ laut, vorne mit Meerblick gut. Die Terrasse ist gut mit direktem Zugang zum Meer, ein bisschen wenig Liegegelegenheiten. Zum Schnorcheln ganz ok, mehr auch nicht. Mein Fazit: gut für 2 Nächte, mehr nicht.

Einfache Anlage, direkt am Meer, in Flughafennähe

Zimmer mit tollem Meerblick, ältere Anlage in einfacher bis mittelmäßiger Ausstattung. Klimaanlage vorhanden. Anlage befindet sich in der Abflugschneise des Flughafens. Die Flugzeuge überfliegen das Guesthouse in einer Höhe von etwa 400 - 500m. Daher erhebliche Lärmbelästigung bei jedem Flugzeugstart (wenn, wie überwiegend, Richtung Osten gestartet wird). Wir haben das Zimmer nur für die letzte Nacht genutzt, um eine kurze Anfahrt (ca. 15 Minuten) zum Flughafen am frühen Morgen zu haben.
