Fodor's Expert Review Beachcomber Royal Palm Hotel

One of the island’s most prestigious resorts, the Beachcomber Royal Palm is a place where you can expect near-perfection from start to finish. Overlooking the village of Grand Baie, Beachcomber combines Mauritian hospitality with international standards of luxury. It's a favorite honeymoon paradise for newlyweds looking to enjoy a private beach, a luxury spa by Clarins, refined suites, and three heated pools. First-class treatment begins with your airport transfer, which is via helicopter or a Rolls Royce Phantom. The staff is highly trained and proves itself discreet and helpful. There are three terrific restaurants, and La Goèlette is a must for epicureans.
