Loved by The Ravenala Attitude Hotel guests
"We enjoyed kayaking up the river and paddle boarding in the sea, which was open and calm and the beach also had plenty of beach chairs for sunbathing."
"The resort is stunning and has so many amenities but what I loved is that nothing was too far away but yet you never felt cramped."
"The hotel offers plenty of entertainment during the day and evening."

“The hotel is serious about both luxury and the environment, managing all-inclusive perks without single-use plastics, alongside Travelife Gold certification. I admire the floating restaurant on the Lemon River and the focus on Mauritian hospitality; it's a place that clearly aims to create memorable stays. For families or couples, its position on the north-west coast makes it easy to enjoy Balaclava's attractions and unwind in equal measure.”
