Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Mostly reported as clean in multiple reviews, but one strong complaint cited insufficient cleanliness and theft from a room, so overall cleanliness is good but not perfect.
Service
10
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and caring (special attention from restaurant staff and chef, birthday attention); one report of poor handling of a theft incident slightly tempers this but overall service is excellent.
Location
9.8
Outstanding views and unique forest setting repeatedly praised; access/road is difficult and the site is remote, but the exceptional outlook and setting drive a very high score.
Room Quality
8.2
Chalets are charming with great views, but several reviewers noted aging/tired aspects and maintenance issues (TV, shower hose) so room quality is good yet showing wear.
Amenities
7.4
Mixed: restaurant and nature setting are positives, but issues reported with the main pool (algae), TV problems and other maintenance indicate amenities need attention.
Value for Money
7.7
Mixed perceptions: some guests felt price exceeded expectations or that similar views could be found elsewhere; others appreciated the experience—overall slightly below the target rating.
Food and Beverage
9.3
Generally praised: meals and attentive chef/service in the restaurant received strong positive comments; only a few comments about limited breakfast variety.
Overall Experience
9
Overall experience is very positive for many (unique location, views, friendly staff), but serious safety/cleanliness incidents reported by at least one guest reduce the aggregate slightly.

Pros:

The location is beautiful with breathtaking views. The Chalets are spacious and set apart from each other. THe grounds are well maintained. The staff were polite and the food was good. It was nice to be able to walk to the Ebony Forest.

Cons:

The hotel needs some work to take it from good to exceptional - which it has the potential to be. There were a number of little things, mainly in the chalets which let them down, such as:
the plug in the sink didn't work
there were marks on the walls were holes had been filled and not painted over
the curtains had come off their hooks
the door to the chalet was very stiff and needed a kick to close it
the TV kept coming on by itself and we had to find the switch at the back (in amongst the dust) to turn it off
the housekeeping generally was not a great standard.

All in all, a shame as this should be a really fabulous place, and with just a bit more attention to detail it could be one!

For the sunset of a lifetime and amazing pina coladas
Pros:

Loved the mountain top location and the absolutely glorious sunset.
The staff was super attentive and helpful.
My room, chalet 11 was super spacious with an extremely comfortable canopied bed .
Loved the dinner in their on-site restaurant where the bartender mixes amazingly good pina coladas.

Cons:

Not the easiest hotel to access without a car but worth the effort for the views and the overall experience.

Nous avons passé un super moment, coupés du monde !

Nous avons aimé le cadre, la vue, l’isolement de l’hôtel, le petit déjeuner, la literie, et les chambres spacieuses !

Choix des repas limités car les bons plats sont payants

Pros:

Emplacement avec une vue splendide sur le Morne et le lagon. "Chalets" très bien implantés au milieu de la végétation, l'occasion de voir passer de multiples oiseaux et chauve souris. Chambre très agréable et grande. Personnel à l'accueil ou au restaurant, très accueillants et attentifs. Pour rappel ou informations, le repas du soir et le petit déjeuner sont inclus et c'est préférable et compréhensible, le lieu est assez éloigné et isolé. Pour l'accès, Il faut bien "oser" passer les barrières d'accès du site des "sept couleurs" puis continuer par une petite route un peu chaotique (qui se fait tout de même avec un petit véhicule) à partir du parking des "sept couleurs de chamarel" (panneau indicatif). Nous conseillons sans hésitation pour ceux qui apprécient la nature, le calme avec un très bon confort, les petits déjeuner avec une vue splendide. Nous ne sommes restés qu'une seule nuit et sans être un regret, y rester une nuit de plus n'aurait pas été très difficile.

Cons:

Rien. Très satisfait de notre venue.

2 nights at Chalets Chamarel. Good stay!
Pros:

The view from the chalets are absolutely breathtaking. Probably one of the best views you could have in Mauritius and being in the nature to relax is something we really needed to end our trip. The staff were lovely and accomodating and were there to help or if we had any questions. The room was also nice and had a cosy feel.

Cons:

A few negatives of the stay. Firstly, there were limited options at breakfast I definitely think that there could be more buffet options, but the food still tasted good. Secondly, it’s a little inconvenient as the only way to contact reception is via WhatsApp and sometimes there would be a long wait for a reply. Also the TV system in our room did not work, it is rather outdated (although TV isn’t our main concern) but we would have liked to be able to watch a movie here and there. Lastly, the hotel is definitely out of the way which was not an issue for us but could be for some. The road to get up the mountain is difficult and takes time to get up to the hotel. Some more signs pointing toward the chalets would be good too as we got lost. All in all, our stay was great! Just some improvement points.

Parenthèse enchantée entre mer et montagne !
Pros:

Une parenthèse enchantée entre mer et montagne !
Dès l'arrivée, le ton est donné : 1,5 km de piste pour accéder aux chalets, une entrée en matière aussi rigolote que dépaysante !
Perchés sur la crête, les chalets offrent une vue plongeante spectaculaire sur la baie. Face à nous, sa majesté Le Morne se dresse, si proche qu'on aurait l'impression de pouvoir la toucher, avec en prime des couchers de soleil superbes en contrebas. C'est un véritable privilège de se retrouver ainsi en pleine nature, en montagne, pour découvrir une autre facette de l'île.
Côté restauration, la carte du dîner est sympa et les assiettes sont soignées. Même s'il y a un petit supplément pour certains plats, il y a largement de quoi manger différemment pendant 3 soirs, et les tarifs ne sont pas exorbitants.
Petit bémol toutefois : dommage que le beurre soit servi en barquette plastique et que les confitures du petit-déjeuner soient un peu trop industrielles.

L'accueil a été très agréable, avec un personnel souriant et des équipes (service, entretien, jardiniers et gardiens de nuit) prévenantes et sympathiques.
En résumé : C'est un excellent spot en hauteur. Ça change des classiques cartes postales de plage, et si vous aimez la nature, ce détour vert en montagne vaut vraiment le coup, avant de regagner la côte pour la suite du séjour. Une très belle étape !

Pros:

Уникальная локация с самыми невероятными видами (особенно из сьютов). Замечательная команда отеля, очень приветливы и правда стараются сделать все, чтобы вам было комфортно и приятно.

Cons:

Еда просто ужасна, не важно, входит ли в стоимость полупансиона или оплачивается отдельно. Уважаемый отель, пожалуйста, обратите внимание на то, что вам пишут в отзывах про еду в ресторане. Это так сильно портит впечатление!

Vista stupenda ma ristorazione da migliorare
Pros:

Posizione stupenda per ammirare il mare dall'alto e il tramonto su le morne brabant

Cons:

Abbiamo prenotato una camera con cena inclusa: il cibo incluso a cena ha poca scelta e porzioni poco abbondanti che non saziano.
La strada per arrivare al resort potrebbe diventare complicata se si incontra un'altra altra macchina arrivare nella direzione opposta.
Il prezzo è eccessivo per ciò che offre considerando che l'unico vero punto di forza della struttura è la vista dall'alto sul mare.
In bagno manca la ventola nel locale water (in compenso si trova però nel locale doccia)

Perfect location, fantastic views & ideal for a short break before exploring the rest of the island
Pros:

Fantastic service level, ideal location for a short stay with great views & walkable attractions

Cons:

The evening menu was the same for all the time we were there (4 nights) with the half board choices (others were available but at a surcharge) was slightly limiting. A small criticism but overall the offering & quality was excellent.
