Mauritius 12:06 - Oct 31 with 739 views | eastangliaisblue | Looking at going Mauritius early next year for 2 weeks. So for anyone who has been is there plenty to see and do in 2 weeks? Are the beaches as good as they look in photos? Any advice welcome. | | | | |

I certainly didn’t get the impression that it was particularly poverty stricken compared to some Caribbean islands, but we didn’t stray far from the resort. The resort was fabulous, the people were wonderful, and physically it is very beautiful. It wasn’t cheap. The company with which I am involved outsources quite a few administrative functions to our Mauritius office, and they are very diligent. | | | |
Mauritius on 13:46 - Oct 31 with 623 views | SonOfSpock | Had my honeymoon there. Excellent for beach and resort holidays. Plenty of dolphin experiences and whale watching. Seem to recall a quad biking trip that was good fun. I'm sure Mrs Spock would be happy to book something for you - she's trying to get her travel franchise going after a trying pandemic. | | | |
Mauritius on 14:03 - Oct 31 with 601 views | BlueBlueBluex2 | From a personal viewpoint I was bored to absolute tears there. Sitting prone on a beach or next to a pool for two weeks straight is not my idea of fun and don’t get me started on ‘whale watching” | | | |

Thats my issue as well. I don't mind staying at a resort if there is plenty to do out of it, if there's not then no point in me going. | | | |
Mauritius on 15:09 - Oct 31 with 551 views | IPS_wich | Not much to do on the island, stayed most of the time in the resort, played golf, learned to waterski. It was the second week of our honeymoon after a week on safari in Zimbabwe. Much preferred the safari, The missus much preferred Mauritius. The Maldives was great because it’s a proper beach holiday and because the diving/snorkelling was amazing. If you’re not someone who’s happy to spend 70% of your time in the resort by the pool, I’d suggest there are better options. Not been myself, but know several people who would recommend Sri Lanka over Mauritius if you’re looking for an Indian Ocean holiday that has the best balance of beaches and stuff to do. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I've been to Sri Lanka and loved the place. Might just go back there if there's not much to do in Mauritius. | | | |

Exactly this I can only imagine the poster hasn't done much travelling | | | |
