Dear Sandra & Mark,
First of all thank you so much for really a great holiday.The photos don't do this apartment justice.. What a lovely spacious apartment, furnished appropriately for holidaymakers wanting a self catering style of holiday.,which is the only way to enjoy Mauritius :-) . The supermarket is around the corner and there are 2 fruit markets just as close making shopping so convenient . We enjoyed amazing food for breakfast every morning and had lunch and dinner a couple of times in the apartment. The place was kept immaculate by Marceline who also makes a mean local curry upon request for dinner - for a nothing fee. We spent every day on the beach and there was a cupboard full of beach towels, and beach chairs and mats to use which we really appreciated. The coffee perculator was my best friend and the local supermarket stocked my favourite coffee :-) . The location was brilliant - 5mins to Grand Baie by bus which stopped outside the door, and cost next to nothing. Cote d Azur private beach was a two minute walk and we spent every other day here, while Pereybere's main beach, a 3min walk was a lovely beach style lagoon , and a sunbed and umbrella could be hired out for the whole day, and Cafe Perybere and the local Food Stand and Icecream stand was well visited by us. We highly recommend hiring a scooter and going around the island - we had a free tourist map to use and it was easy to get around. Swimming with Dolphins was the highlight of our trip , which Nanda, who picked us up from the airport, combined it with a mini tour around Mauritus for a great price. Nanda is the man to talk to about tours, and if you like seafood and don't mind basic restaurant surroundings then Nanda's Uncles Rest in Grand Baie is the one to visit . The Sailing trip out to Flat Island was also another highlight with the snorkleing and the onboard seafood BBQ. We could go on and on about how amazing Mauritus was and staying in such a fresh, spacious and well equipped apartment for two weeks just made the holiday a real island style living scenario. We had an amazing time and ( fingers crossed) hope to be coming back next year. It really was a wonderful and truly magic holiday and would recommend it to families, couples and friends.
Regards
Anje & Ricky
