it is a nice hotel with a good price-quality ratio. Situated right at the beach, but it has a very nice pool as well. You can have lunches and dinners in the hotel, but there are also several good restaurants within 10-15 minutes walk. Even though there is a bar and a restaurant in the hotel, it is never noisy in your room.

I especially liked that the receptionist has asked for our passport copies in advance and filled in all the details, so we did not have to spend time on this upon arrival. We also booked a boat trip in advance.

It is not a luxury hotel, but it feels cozy. The beach is very beautiful, there are several boats in the water, but you can easily swim there.

The hotel provides a beach bag, which is a really nice addition. You get 2 bottles of water per day as well as tea/instant coffee.

Breakfasts were tasty, really fresh croissants and baguettes (they were much better than in a 5 star hotel where we went later) , but you only get filtered coffee, which is strange for me.

We booked an ocean view room and enjoyed a beautiful view from the terrace.

Minuses:
after lunch time all the sea beds are in the sun, so it is impossible to stay there. May be the hotel should move the umbrellas or to place different once.

Curries in the restaurant have a lot of rice but just a little bit of meat.

We stayed at The Bay for 5 weeks February/March. Overall experience at this small hotel was excellent. The staff were all charming and happy to help in any way. The food was very good, breakfast in particular with a variety of choices including fresh fruit and eggs cooked to order. Our room was a good size as was the shower room with plenty of shelf space for toiletries etc. Cleaning and towel/linen change was daily and was done to a very good standard. The pool was beatifully tiled, but was probably too small for seious swimming. Fom the terrace it was a few steps down to the beach. The sea was actually a lagoon with a coral reef about 400m. out. Boats could be hired to take you out for snorkelling and seeing the turtles and dolphins. Ideal for families with very safe swimming.

Small hotel with super friendly staff and nice restaurant on the beach. Stayed two weeks in Mauritius. Started with 4 days in the bay and ended our stay here because we absolutely loved the place. Rooms are simple but well equipped and the restaurant has a very good price/quality.

What a great place to relax, enjoy some great food and a lovely view! We had the day pass which gave us access to the sun beds on the beach and also credit for lunch. The food was delicios and the service very friendly. We liked it so much that we visited The Bay for lunch for a second time, just before our flight back home.

We are frequent visitors to The Bay over many years.
Last night was a special occasion and I specifically booked a special table for my wife's birthday.
We arrived about 10 minutes late only to be told our table was given way....
We ordered some drinks and water and the waitress disappeared. Some time later a different waitress came to take our drinks order again and left. After a considerable time without any response my wife had to go and request some water as she was particularly thirsty.
We both ordered a starter and a main course. My main course AND starter arrived at the same time, as did my wife's starter. Our waitress placed both my dishes in front of me...
My wife's order was delayed and only after I had finished both my meals did her main course arrive--which was very good.
The service was disjointed and sloppy and your service staff needs some training.
We love the view and the ambience but the service at times can be very disappointing.

Great experience in a quiet beach front boutique! Friendly helpful staff clean rooms and very good food!
30.12.2025 Guest
Nice beach hotel, descent value for money even during high season. Friendly and helpful staff. They do an advanced check in, which is very convenient, you don’t need to fill in any papers on arrival. They can also book your excursion upfront. Nice bar with tasty cocktails. But only filter coffee at breakfast. Better coffee for an additional price. A bit weird window in the bathroom, but you can close it. There are several really good restaurants in the village, so you don’t have to eat 3 meal in the hotel all the time.
28.12.2025 Guest
Wonderful location. All the staff were so friendly. A special shout out to Emilie who handled the local activities. If you can’t stand big hotels and want a local guest house / small hotel vibe, this is just perfect. 100% go with The Bay’s advice on which activity companies to use. They were all fantastic. We did Tamarind falls (you def need a guide and we are experienced trail runners), didn’t do Dolphins but their local Neighbours can take you and I heard from another guest they were fantastic.

We have just returned back to the UK after a great holiday on Mauritius. We jumped a bit, staying in Belle Mare (great beach), Mont Choisy (another great beach) and finally arriving at the Bay for 2 nights. Our plan was to keep the best to last and that certainly was the case. We had eaten here a couple of years ago and loved it so much decided almost 12 months ago to book a room direct with them which is certainly the best way to enjoy the whole experience. We were upgraded to an amazing terrace with sun loungers and top floor view of the sea. The staff were amazing, special mention must go to Emilie who sorts everything from the office. The food was outstanding again, served with a smile and humour. The pool and small beach are immaculate and we are so looking forward to returning soon.

Awesome room on a top floor with seaview. You can see sunset from the spacious balcony.
The room was clean. Air condition worked well.
The staff was very friendly. They helped with taxi and tour reservations. Tip: hiking the Tamarin Waterfalls route with guide is highly recommended.
Breakfast was ala carte and delicious. We ate every dinner at hotel. Creolean cuisine is worth for ordering!
Pool was nice. Beach is right next to the hotel and there are sunbeds for guests.
Overall great getaway romantic hotel with human touch. Not too big, not too small.
Would go again!
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
