1A: Beau Sejour 4 seasons

Great place and hospitality

Contacted the owner before we booked, Raj was extremely helpful, he arranged a taxi from the airport (very competitive) along with a hire car which was also cheaper than any other options we could find - and a nice car as well all very smooth. The apartment is massive, huge bedrooms one double and the other with two single beds - beds comfortable and air con, lovely at night corner bath and great shower lots of hot water etc a separate toilet as well as one in the bathroom. kitchen well equipped everything worked as it should etc there is secure parking for the cars, the beach is a couple of minutes walk. If your heading for this area, this is a great hassle free place to stay - if we go back again we will stay here Enjoy Simon & Denise

My friend and I stayed in one of the 1st floor apartments, it had a double bedroom with a toilet ensuite and a twin bedroom. The shared bathroom had a corner bath and shower over the bath. The kitchen area was well equipped for self-catering including electric oven, gas hob and microwave. There was a TV with DVD player but we didn’t use much. The Wi-Fi worked well for our laptops but I did have some connection issues with my iPhone and iPad. In general the décor and appliances were a little aged, but there was everything we needed. There is a pool in the garden but we didn’t really use it as the sea is so much nicer! We also made use of the washing machine and washing line, handy if you’re staying a bit longer! When we arrived we were greeted by Baba and his wife Nirmala who look after the apartments. Baba lived downstairs taking care if security. He locked up the communal areas at night (the front gate and porch) and opened up in the morning. We felt very safe and felt that our belongings were secure in our absence. Nirmala visits a couple of times a week to clean. They are both friendly and trustworthy. We met Raj the owner and his wife on our last night and they were also lovely and welcoming. We chose to have a maid service twice per week, we could have chosen more frequent, but we felt this was unnecessary. The only very small downside was the standard of cleaning was not what I’m used to and I did buy some spray so I could clean the kitchen and bathroom a bit myself. The location is fantastic, it only takes a few minutes to walk to the beach. There are several restaurants within walking distance. We liked Souvenir, Café International and 1974. There are good bus links, it costs about 50p per journey and is quite an experience! We used the bus to visit the Botanical Gardens, Sugar Factory, Port Louis, Grande Bay and Cap Malheureux. The small supermarket ‘Chez Popo’ is just down the road too, a few minutes walk, we went there every day to get fresh bread for lunch, croissants and the things we needed for dinner. There is a much larger supermarket in Grande Bay called Super U. We arranged airport transfers via Raj and were really pleased with the driver he uses. We ended up going for an all day tour of the South with him which we hugely recommend. In summary, this place is very good value, and a great base for enjoying a holiday in Mauritius.

We stayed here for 2 weeks in Jan 2010, and have nothing bad to say about the place. The location and facilities were exactly as described and the appartment was very clean. The people that run Beau Sejour are extremely nice and warm, they made us feel very welcome from the moment we stepped out of the minibus they had arranged for us. The pool area was nice and we spent many many nights there on the roof gazing at stars and enjoying local white wine. We would definitely recommend Beau Sejour to anybody, who wants a relaxed atmosphere and a perfect location in Mauritius. There was a 24/7 guard in the premises and housekeeping was available pretty much every day if required. There was a possibility to use a washing machine at the roof top when needed and we found it very useful. All in all we had a very good stay and plan to come back some day!
