Cap Ouest by Horizon Holidays

Unobstructed panoramic ocean view with unparalleled customer service. Great location with direct access to the beach and various restaurants

A beautiful property. Well equipped kitchen. Unexpectedly beautiful and unobstructed view of the ocean. Staff was very nice. Highly recommend this property. Location was excellent too.

This penthouse is fabulous, we never got tired of the views. The kitchen is well equipped although there is no toaster (although there is a sandwich toaster!) and I couldn't find the handle for the grill pan, but these are minor niggles. The Wolmar supermarket is only a few minutes walk for any essential supplies, the supermarket at Cascavelle is a 10 mins drive and has everything you need. The kids loved having their own rooms and plunge pool. The main pool and sunloungers were never busy but the pool is only 1.3m deep so fine for small kids but not really deep enough for my teenagers (who are both hardcore swimmers). The beach is just a few steps away and the water is warm, shallow and there's zero waves (being protected by the reef further out). Mauritius in winter is warm but not sweltering, and we only had 1 rainy day in the 10 days we stayed, the weather was lovely with lots of sunny days, but watch out, the sun sets at 6pm and there's very little twilight, 30 minutes later and it's pitch black. The road outside is unlit so you'll need to use your phone's torch if walking out at night. There's a cluster of restaurants about a mile up the road, so it's walkable or there's parking opposite if you want to drive. Our favourites were Bourgainville, Chutneys and Tidez. Hugo from Horizon is very welcoming and provided a list of recommended activities, we did the catamaran cruise with JPH, Blue Safari submarine, 7 coloured earth, Black River national Park and Casala wildlife park. We had a fantastic time in Mauritius and the penthouse was just fabulous. My top tip... buy an Emtel tourist SIM for your phone so can use data without paying ruinous data roaming fees, I got mine from the Pingouin car rental desk in the airport, it was only 500Rs for 15 GB (less than £10 GBP) and lasted for the whole time we were in Mauritius.

Well maintained property with nice views.
