Radisson Blu Azuri Resort and Spa, Mauritius billeder

A group of 4 friends (2 x couples) have just returned from a fantastic week vacation at Radisson azuri. Previously we've stayed at the Radisson Poste Lafayette 3 times but thought we'd try the azuri. The weather was amazing around 31c each day and practically no rain. The staff on the whole were very helpful and friendly. We'd like to thank Shakira on reception especially as she sorted out a room upgrade as it was one of our parties birthday and a cake, sparkling wine etc. She also contacted us during our stay to check all was fine. Thanks Shakira. The azuri has several restaurants and the hotel buffet which was very good. Each evening they have a different cuisine, Italian, Mauritian of course and so on, all very good. Our favourite restaurant was the Italian La Giola. The food and staff are amazing! We ate here several times and everything including the wonderful cakes were amazing. The Black rock restaurant was a little disorganised and the food was ok but still nice for lunch. One thing that really made the azuri special for us was the brilliant gym and the classes! A special thanks to the instructors Steevan and Alex. They took several of the GRIT and Functional circuit classes which were great, thanks guys. More air conditioning would be welcome in the studio as it was so hot! We also used the tennis courts which were included in our all inclusive package. Great courts but best played late afternoon. One thing that let's the azuri down slightly is the water around the hotel. The reef is further out so you can't swim on the reef unlike the poste lafayette where the reef is directly by the hotel. The water around the azuri are warm of course but murky. Another thing is the small island in front of the hotel where we kayaked to. The island is full of rubbish with lots of plastic bottles and rubbish. Come on guys once a week get some staff to clear it up. Overall a fantastic week's stay. We'd certainly return and would recommend both hotels.
