We have recently returned from a 10 day holiday at The Maritim Hotel in Mauritus. I had read trip advisor before \I left and was a little concerned about the hotel after reading some comments, however I needn't have worried! From the omen we got off the plane we were greeted by A Virgin rep who showed us to the car waiting to transfer us to our hotel The driver was ec=xcellent and gave us so much information about the island. On arrival at Maritim we were treated like royalty, we were shown to reception and greted with cool flannels and cold drinks to refresh us. Our room wasn't ready ( which we expected) as we arrived early in the morning but were shown to a departure olunge where we were able to shower and change for the beach. All inclusive started from that moment. The food was excellent with 5 restaurants to choose from. Our room was lovely with a free standing roll top bath as well as separate shower, a huge bed, welcoming basket of fruit, and patio that led right onto lush gardens. Room service was excellent, with option of fresh towels twice a day. The staff at Maritim made it their priority to treat guests, they were all so friendly and helpful. I was unlucky to stand on a sea urchin and needed hospital treatment but the reception called the Doctor who visited me in my room then took me to the hospital for treatment. On hearing of this the Virgin rep made contact and was so considerate and caring to assist me and ensure my recovery. It was my husbands birthday whilst we were there and he received a bottle of champagne and birthday cake courtesy of Virgin who also credited our hotel account with 4600 rupees which enabled me to have 3 Spa treatments at the most relaxing Spa facility. This was the most perfect, stress free, relaxing holiday and on a beautiful island with beautiful people. Talking to other holiday makers I am sure that we had a far better experience having gone with Virgin. I have had a difficult year and this was the perfect antidote, my dream would be to take my two children and their partners back for a family holiday sometime.
