The atmosphere of this small hotel is relaxed and cosy, a place where guests, many of them regulars, chat by the poolside bar or on the terrace of the main restaurant. It is the kind of place where new friends are easily made, sipping a refreshing cocktail and watching the moon rise, as night slowly takes over the horizon. Le Tropical Hotel Mauritius from Naiade Resorts collection is highly recommended by Ocean island Tours
