We arrived Nov 1st and was picked up at the airport by a shuttle service that was a bit costly, but impeccable, fixed by the wonderful Richard at La Pointe Villas. Once here, he welcomed us warmly and guided us through how the apartment complex works (self catering, which we preferred, travelling with a 1-year old). The apartment was spacious and clean, had all amenities, and the outdoor area with the garden, polo and tennis court was very much used. We loved the clean and turqouise polo, the flowery and herbacious garden, and the sunchairs and polo toys. The cleaning staff were super friendly and provided us with lots of towels and even did our laundry for a small fee. We will miss the smiles and the way everyone player with our baby. Rachel and Richard were marvellous fixers and hjelped us with everything from rental cars to restaurants to tips on supermarkets and outings. True miracle workers! We will miss them, and definitely come back. The area is seven minutes by foot from Mont Choisy beach, which is very beautiful and has room for everyone. Sunday there, all of Mauritius will come and eat, sing, dance and watch the sunset. Right nearby you have small shops and french bakeries, and a few local restaurants. If you rent a car it is the perfect spot to travel all across the island - nothing is more than 1hour and 30 minutes away. Treat yourself to daytrips like Le Morne, Ile aux Cerfs, La Vanille Nature park, La Vallée des coleurs and the capital. Or simply drive from beach to beach. What a magnificent island, with lovely people, great cultural experiences, child friendly and not too expensive outside the big resorts. La Pointe Villas is a fantastic place to stay, we recommend it warmly! Clean, super friendly, super practical, and great outdoor areas. Richard even brought us a big barbeque when we wanted to grill some fish and meat ourselves, and offered to drive us to places free of charge when we had no car. Oh, and they also,let us have late check out on the day of departure. WARM recommendations from us.
