A thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay at the wonderful La Pirogue hotel. The hotel is stated to be a 4 star hotel but I can definitely say that the environment, location, staff and service are all 5 star! We first visited some 20 years ago and also got married at the hotel, so we may be a tad bias in our review, but I can honestly say that this is one of the best hotels in Mauritius. The hotel has modernised over the years, but the traditional aspects of the layout the accommodation and gardens remain timeless. We recognised many of the staff from our first visit with many spending their entire careers at the hotel, the testimonies of the staff are that it’s a good place to work and staff feel valued, this comes across in the service and relationships with clientele, they genuinely care about those staying and want people to have the best experience they can. Whilst it’s impossible to name everyone, a special thanks go to Subash in the main restaurant who was super attentive and exceptional in his service, Jeevan ( aka Georgie-boy or Seniorman ) Jean-Luc, Adeibayo, John and Blessed in the Beach Bar who enjoyed a laugh and joke, but always professional in service. Wendy in La Morne restaurant for again excellent service. We spent a couple of evenings at the sister hotel Sugar Beach, thoroughly enjoyed the Buddha Bar, although found the reluctance to offer the all inclusive menu for La Pirogue guests a little petty. Additionally one evening at La Patio buffet restaurant, whilst the food was excellent, the service was not a patch on that provided at La Pirogue. To us it appeared that Sugar Beach was a 5 star hotel with a 4 star service. The negatives however were overwhelmed by the positives of an adjoining hotel with shared facilities. We utilised the Spa, fitness centre and tennis courts as well as the swimming pools at each hotel for a bit of variety. I also took advantage of a free game of golf at Tamarina which was a 15 minute ride away serviced by a shuttle bus. Reception staff taking care of arrangements. Additionally staff at reception helped us to resolve an issue with our cancelled flight home, again really helpful and honest in advice to ensure we could take the best option for us. We regularly took advantage of the hotels water sports, kayak, SUP, pedallos, snorkelling trips. Big thanks to Roshan and the team for their service. Overall a really great holiday at La Pirogue.I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for those looking for a relaxing, stress free break in a fantastic location with a top beach and facilities which top service across all aspects of the hotel.
