The La Margarita belongs to the same owner as the Villas Mon Plaisir, offering guests the opportunity to use the facilities of both establishments. As the former does not enjoy the same seafront location as the latter, guests at both hotels can access the beach and water sports facilities of the Villas Mon Plaisir. This should be viewed as an asset and not an inconvenience of the small, comfortable, friendly and unpretentious hotel of La Margarita. Moreover, if it's value for money you're after, you need look no further!

Location
8.36/10
The La Margarita is located on the north-west coast of Mauritius, just under 9 mi from Grand Baie and 7 and a half mi from Port Louis, both of which are around half an hour away. The airport is around 25 mi away, with a transfer time of around an hour and a quarter.
Accommodation
6.70/10
The 15 guest rooms are housed in a small two-floor building surrounding the hotel pool, and it might be worth remembering that there is no lift here. 12 of the rooms directly overlook the pool whilst 8 others have a balcony complete with wicker furniture. Pastel colours set the tone in the rooms, but there is little in the way of decor. All rooms have a television, a safe, air-conditioning and a telephone line, but there is no minibar, and no room service is available. As for the bathrooms, they are not huge, but soap is provided and beach towels can be borrowed at no additional cost.
Overview
7.70/10
The La Margarita opened in 2006 and is a small establishment concealed behind a carriage entrance, nestled amid lush green vegetation. Access to the hotel is gained via a small outdoor garden which is also home to the hotel bar, with a few chairs dotted around on the gravel. The tiny reception is a little on the dark side, tucked away in a recess to the right of the entrance, and there is also an adjacent restaurant area a little further along. Opposite this area, there is a small rectangular swimming pool which is ideal for doing a few lengths, though some may find themselves more tempted by the wooden deckchairs laid out on the solarium terrace surrounding it...
Food and drink
7.20/10
The hotel's main restaurant serves breakfast as a buffet and dinner a la carte, but it is not open at lunchtime, so your best bet for a midday snack is to head to the Villas Mon Plaisir. An orchestra provides the entertainment when you dine in the evening in this pleasant, poolside setting, with a selection of floral paintings on the walls that match the tablecloths. The cuisine served here is both local and international, and guests at the La Margarita are also invited to attend the barbecue evening organised every week at the Villas Mon Plaisir at no additional cost.
To know
There really is nothing to say about the beach at the Margarita, other than that there isn't one! Guests at the hotel can, however, freely use the beach at the Villas Mon Plaisir, some 492 ft away, and enjoy the water sports facilities there, should they so wish. The restaurant at the Villas Mon Plaisir is also open to guests of both hotels, although getting there can prove to be quite tricky as the road is severely lacking in the pavement department!

Charmant petit hôtel de 18 chambres qui lui confère une ambiance conviviale. Très bien placé pour le départ vers de belles excursions. Super
Advantages
Petit hôtel de 18 chambres très bien décorées, très confortables. Service en "table d'hôte", par un personnel super, vu nulle part ailleurs.
Disavantages
Le seul regret : on apprécierait un petit réfrigérateur dans la chambre.
Friendly, well maintained and exotic, the Casuarina is recommended for those seeking - with their family or with their friends - a holiday resort close to the liveliness of Grand Baie and facing the beautiful beach of Trou aux Biches ( Doe Hole ).

The Meridien is a spacious and airy hotel. Its large beach is ideal to suntan or enjoy water sports. The place will delight those seeking comfort and good quality service in a chain hotel.

Both large and intimist, the Trou aux Biches is a very nice hotel, where everybody can feel good. The bungalow accommodations allow you to fully enjoy the tropical park that borders the long beach.

The Le Palmiste opened in 2004 and has gradually grown in size ever since. Having started out with only 18 guest rooms, it now has 90, but that's as big as it is going to get, as the establishment wants to maintain its moderate size. The clientele here is essentially European (German, French and English) and the hotel attracts couples and families in equal measure. It is famed for the peaceful surroundings it provides and also offers excellent value for money. On the downside, it is not located on the seafront, although the beach is only 328 ft from the entrance.

The hotel is a small structure with a limited number of rooms, a little distance away from the bustle of Grand Bay and in an area that overlooks a nice beach without having to walk miles. The Pointe aux Biches is relaxed holiday destination, you will feel good just being here, without doing anything, just to make a change.

The Victoria is a hotel very appreciated by groups of travellers that are coming to Mauritius for a seminar or in incentive. Single clients will feel somehow lost. However, the hotel has more than one asset, and specially its big swimming pool and the 0.6 mile long beach.
