"We traveled with our one-year-old, and overall, we had a wonderful stay. Getting around with the stroller wasn’t always easy, but it was manageable. However, we found the staff could have been more helpful on a couple of occasions. One evening, we needed some bubble bath liquid and called reception, but we were told that we had to come and collect it ourselves. With a baby, this meant a 10-minute walk to reception late at night, which wasn’t particularly convenient. Another issue was when we were checking out and needed some help with our luggage, but unfortunately, there was no one available to assist us. Aside from these situations, most of our stay was good, and we enjoyed our time there overall."

The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius

8/10 Good
"Overall the Westin Turtle is a perfectly good option to consider if you just want somewhere to sit and bathe in the sun. The beach area is clean with plenty of sand but the best area's to swim in the sea as via the area given over to another hotel - nothing stopping you using it but sunbeds etc are not for Westin customers. Plenty to do whilst on site with various events laid out during the day to make things fun. All of the staff were attentive and helpful but special shout out goes to Vivek, Mafoozah and Jeevan who made our stay very comfortable. We visited in September and that appears to be considered a quiet month so certain restaurants and options are not running, these were not told to us at any point, we just discovered it by chance. We decided to eat outside of the resort on most nights - a personal choice over anything wrong - but when we cannot fault the quality of the food or the service. I don't know how Westin compares to other similar hotel but for us it met our expectations and allowed us to have a stress free holiday."
