Had a pleasant round of golf here in August 2017. The course is average difficulty which is fine for me as a mid teens handicapper but might be a little easy for a low handicapper.
The course if beautifully looked after and have a number of holes with stunning views of the local Mountains and verdant scenery.
From some of the holes the views from the tee are well worth a snap or two and this could slow down play in the high season. On my day though the course was quiet so no issues there.
On a few holes there are monkeys around so remember to take the advice to put everything (not only valuable) into the golf bags.
Like other courses on Mauritius iff you go off line then the think vegetation is likely to cause your ball to vanish so bring a few with you and play provisionals for those wayward tee shots.
Also it's well worth getting the course guide and looking closely before teeing off. There are some very cunningly placed hazards that will often trap those that just glance at the hole from the tee and bash a ball down.
My only gripe with the course is that it's not such good value. I was at the hotel for only one night so got a discounted deal rather than a free one but beware that published prices include nothing so the race rate of MUR 4400 doesn't include the cart (I think around MUR 1400) and doesn't include range balls which are a few MUR per bucket. Also there are no towels on the cart. This was an issue for me as I played the day after heavy rains so the course was muddy and there was plenty of ball and club washing to do.
On balance though a course that was fun and just like others on the island, with some views that will linger in the memory for some time.

La Casanita Ltd Tour

Reviewed By Adrian D - Bucharest, Romania

We foud a very nice apartment in Point d'Esny through Casanita. Mr. Walther was very kind and efficient in helping us through the whole reservation and payment procedure.
The very nice thing is that you can make the payment directly through the Casanita wbsite, which avoids all the bank fuss and works much better.
I suggest contacting Casanita for your holidays in Mauritius: they supply also cars and other sevices that can make your journey much better.

Service and attention to detail second to none. Ambient atmosphere perfect especially evening dining. Restaurant staff were awesome. Management should consider adopting a 'no children' policy as the arrival of noisy children on our final day marred the experience.Mosquitos an issue at certain times of the day

Dolphswim

Reviewed By Chris M - Mold, United Kingdom

Booked with Vijay near our resort. Briiliant day out, speedboat ride (down whole west side of island) to the dolphins, chance to swim with them if you can catch them followed by BBQ. Boat crew great with careful considration for the dolphins.
Only downside was on day booked I had a bad tummy, and to rearrange the trip cost us additional £40 on top of the price(£100) we had already paid.l I felt this was a rip off, so beware

Baba Cool Co Ltd

Reviewed By Harmeet S

At times it felt like a hunt rather than dolphin watching. I counted 5 catamarans and several additional speed boats. There was only one group of dolphins with all these boats homing in on them. This must have been stressful for the dolphins and very different to the dolphin watching I did in San Diego way we saw many more dolphins and there werre restrictions on the number of boats.

La Route Du Sel

Reviewed By LiekeFlurin - Arnhem, The Netherlands

While it doesn't look like much (just pools with salt and water) it is quite interesting to have a tour around the salt pans in Tamarin.
The tour is really good with loads of information about the history but also how they actually get the salt out of the sea water. We didn't know for instance that when it rains the salt turns brown an can only be used in agriculture.
