“This small beachfront hotel seems to have carved out a nice niche in Riviere Noire, with its boutique vibe and focus on Mauritian hospitality. The location puts you right on the sunset coast, and I can imagine the open-air dining is lovely under the thatched roofs, especially with live music on weekends. It sounds like a worthwhile place for those seeking a more personalized experience.”
