The room was unfortunately not clean enough to feel comfortable when we arrived. Major stains on the bathroom door and holes in the bed cover. The location is perfect and the food was very good and always available. What made our holiday an unforgettable experience was the staff! Always smiling, ava...

We stayed in Riu Palace twice during our trip. Our experince was varied. The first time it was perfection, the second time they seemed to be working with reduced staff and most of the senior staff wasnt around. It took them 2 hours to not get our luggage. We requested a room change and that added to...

Rooms & Suites

Who fits where at Hotel Riu Palace Mauritius

The right room is personal — a swim-out for the pool people, a top floor for the view people, two real bedrooms and two baths for families who like a little distance. Here's the lineup from the resort's own accommodations pages.

The Daily Reality

Food, pools & the beach itself

Where you'll actually spend the week — how many places there are to eat and drink, what the pool scene offers, and what the water in front of the resort is really like.

Dining & bars

8 restaurants7 barsReservations at some venues— International · Local Mauritian · Asian · Indian · Japanese · Buffet · Themed restaurants

Official site says eight restaurants and varied bars; RIU fact sheets and OTA evidence differ between six and eight restaurants, so restaurant count remains under review.

Pools & waterplay

3 poolsSwim-up bar

RIU fact sheet, Expedia and Hotels.com support three outdoor pools; Elite Club pool is separately referenced in fact-sheet evidence.

The beach itself

Swimmable — some wavesEntry varies along the shoreSnorkeling from shoreNo sargassum (outside the Atlantic belt)

Le Morne beachfront has swimmable/snorkeling areas, but wind exposure is a recurring guest consideration because the peninsula is known for wind and watersports.

Venue counts come from the resort's own pages; beach conditions draw on monitoring data and consistent traveler reports — the sea doesn't read press releases, so treat seasonal notes as odds, not promises.

Things to know

What guests say

Most loved

  • Multiple pools, bars and Elite Club upgrade options
Most common complaints

Things people wish they knew

  • Le Morne is scenic and excellent for watersports, but wind can be a real factor.
From Reddit

Property-specific Reddit coverage is limited; broader Mauritius and RIU discussion supports the hotel’s adults-only, 24-hour all-inclusive positioning while guest-review platforms carry most of the consensus signal.
