Shrija's 7 days trip to Mauritius

The trip was well organized. We did not face any delays/issues.

Shrija Neema New delhi

Darshan's 5 days trip to Mauritius

The sharing van to travel around was small and cramped up. A mini bus would be preferred if we have to constantly board in it. Also, do not pick up from the other resort just to fill up the seats. It takes additional time to reach 1 destination.

Prathmeshshirsat's 6 days trip to Mauritius

Our recent Mauritius trip was an unforgettable experience, and we’re truly glad we booked it through TravelTriangle and Aga Holiday. We stayed at Tropical Attitude Hotel, which was exceptionally clean, neat, and had a breathtaking sea view that made every morning feel refreshing and peaceful. The hospitality at the hotel was top-notch. Karen, the hotel representative, greeted us with a warm smile and was always available to help with anything we needed. A big shoutout to Patricia, the room attendant, who went above and beyond with room service—she was incredibly polite and made our stay extra comfortable. Dining at Bor Lamer and Taba-J was equally delightful. The food was delicious every single time. Special thanks to Chef Vikash and Sunil, the restaurant server, who ensured that not just the taste but the whole dining experience was perfect. They genuinely cared about our satisfaction and service. The highlight of our trip was the romantic dinner organized by the hotel. It was a magical experience that we’ll always cherish. Highly recommend this hotel and TravelTriangle for a peaceful and memorable Mauritius holiday!

Anmol's 5 days trip to Mauritius

This was our first vacation as a couple, and TravelTriangle made it memorable for us. With zero hassles, it made every step of the tour seamless. Great property and tours agent connect. It was really special for both of us. Intercontinental is a recommend from our side for any couple who is going to Mauritius (North-West coast). The country is great place to just relax and experience the true beach side calm and peace. This resort has a lagoon which gives the right opportunity for the visitors to explore the scenic beauty of the coast.

Samata's 6 days trip to Mauritius

It was awesome holiday All days were filled with fun

Naveen's 5 days trip to Mauritius

Overall a great trip, except for the following: Pickup cab was missing, there was no one with the placard at the airport. One driver even made me load the luggage and then asked me to unload it as he didn't have enough seats. No drinking water bottle provided anywhere - during meals at hotel, transfer cabs and during the tours. Most tours end at 4-5pm and dinner starts at 7pm only, it's important for the hotel to provide some fruits / snacks at the room for full board booking.
