I'd agree with some other recent reviews. Staff are great and work hard, but resort in need of some refurbishment. Rooms do feel tired and bathrooms have a musty smell from drains.

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

5 restaurants1 barReservations at some venues— International · Mauritian · Indian · Asian · Mediterranean · Seafood · Wellness-focused

Official Marriott page lists five restaurants and one bar; all-inclusive terms are rate-plan dependent.

Pools & waterplay

2 poolsAdults-only poolKids' pool

Official page lists the main outdoor pool with children's pool and the adults-only Whisper Zone pool.

The beach itself

Swimmability varies by seasonEntry varies along the shoreSnorkeling from shoreNo sargassum (outside the Atlantic belt)

Beachfront Turtle Bay setting supports snorkeling and lagoon activities, but guest sources note sea-swimming conditions can be less classic sandy-beach than expected.

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.

  • Optional all-inclusive rates

Cons

  • All-inclusive is rate-plan dependent
  • Sea swimming can be mixed

Things to know

  • The Westin Turtle Bay is a 5-star Mauritius resort with optional all-inclusive room rates rather than a default all-inclusive model.
  • It is strongest for wellness-minded couples and families who want large rooms, a kids club, spa, pools and a quieter Turtle Bay setting.

Hidden tips

  • Book Beachfront Deluxe or a junior suite if the room and view matter.
  • Confirm all-inclusive restaurant, drink and room-service restrictions directly before booking.
  • Arrange airport transfers independently because the official page lists no shuttle service.
