Jalsa Beach Hotel & Spa

It’s a lovely beautiful location & it could be a really good hotel cause the staff are great, It needs to be injected with some atmosphere I get that guest want a bit of peace but some background music would be better, their isn’t any activities during the day apart from kayaking or wind surfing in the sea but theirs nothing around the pool, the entertainment at night is very minimal, the food not the best, I have to say it’s not one off our better holidays & im sorry to say I wouldn’t recommend this hotel even tho the staff are excellent & they work with what they have, Very disappointed to say the least.

Wish I'd listened to the reviews! We booked a 'deluxe Seaview room' and yes while we had a gorgeous Seaview the room was basic at best. Old tired furniture, very poor lighting in the main room( virtually hanging off side of bed once it was getting dark as only bedside light!). There was a mini fridge in room but were told we would have to pay to have anything put in it. The restaurant was very tired and dingey. The 'food' was awful. Lukewarm and tasteless, frequently same for lunch as we had the previous night. Bread very dry, Pancakes served stone cold at breakfast and at pool on a tea time as snacks. Snacks available during day but again chargeable! Drinks mediocre. My husband caught his leg twice on broken tiles in various areas of the pool, not badly but enough to draw blood. As previously stated in another review we witnessed cruelty to the stray dogs that occasionally wandered onto the resort, they never bothered anyone as they were only looking for food. Surely the hotel could set up a corner in the grounds for food and water!! We got there on the Tuesday and by the Wednesday night I was contacting my tour operator asking to be moved, which unfortunately didn't happen. Absolutely no entertainment in hotel unless you were French. There was a board up offering full daytime activities which we never saw being offered and evening entertainment was very poor. The hotel has a lot of potential but noone seems to be interested in utilising it. Definitely won't be back and would not recommend. I forgot to mention the beach, if you could call it that. At times it was virtually inaccessible as rather than moving the seaweed that was washed in, it was piled up against the little jetty bit used to access the beach. There was quite a big pile by the time we left

excellent experience at the Jalsa Beach hotel. The room was comfortable. hotel situated in nice location with private beach.Excellent staff including reception,cleaning staff, and waiters. Good choice of food. Special mention to Vinisha, Diresh and Rajen the manager who regularly checked with guests about the service on offer at the jalsa.

I will start with the good. The rooms are nice and spacious and the female staff are cheerful. Unfortunately that is as good as it gets. Food: Having been on numerous all inclusive holidays i know the food is never going to be a la carte but the food here is bland and lukewarm. Not once has there been hot food, and you wont see a fresh tomato unless you specifically ask for one. Greek salads with no tomato and beef black bean without the key ingredient of black bean. Entertainment is not included for guests unless you are French. The beer is awful and we resorted to buying blue marlin from the supermarket instead of drinking the awful phoenix they gave on AI. Management don't like you enjoying yourselves and we had been warned for excessive noise as we were playing cards on the balcony and laughing after 11pm. There is no music around the pool, not even ambient music My advice to anyone wanting to visit mauritius is to visit but avoid this hotel at all costs. The hotel are very abusive to the few dogs and cats on the property, throwing stones and sticks at them despite them doing nothing wrong. Overall rooms are nice everything else is awful, do yourself a favour and avoid it.

Hotel is small , friendly , beautiful , well kept gardens Good pool, rather cold though Good sun loungers Lovely and clean Shame they have lost some beach to nature , this needs some work , old tyres , is not an appealing look Beautiful lagoon Good choice of food Extremely helpful and friendly staff Entertainment ok Gym is rather old and over crowded Massage was lovely , worth the money Rooms a little tired, some small touches , eg: extra pillows, towels, dressing table mirror , more lights , proper chairs , balcony chairs, sun beds , etc , would make it a more pleasing, experience Couple of stray dogs ,around , would be nice if the hotel supplied water for them and waste food , at night ,in a certain area maybe . Enjoyed our stay , the staff make you feel so welcome , they can’t do enough for you , full credit to them . The boathouse is a let down , you can apparently use the paddle boats , canoes , free of charge BUT it is too windy , water to high , water to low So you actually, never get to use them The workers sit in there all day , doing nothing , they could be useful and clean the plastic from the side beach This lets the hotel down and needs addressing . A beautiful place , just a few small changes and it would be great

Just back from an 8 night stay at this hotel. Had a great stay, the staff were always very attentive and lovely. The grounds were well kept & plenty of space to spend time in the sun. The small beach area (pictured below) was great to walk along or sit at with lovely white sand. The food choices were what you’d expect of a 3 star hotel, varied enough & always tasty so we were happy. Very spacious room (120) and always kept very clean by maids. I see people moaning about bugs in other reviews but at the end of the day it’s a tropical island in the Indian Ocean. The most we saw was wee lizards living in the grass outside! Overall I found nothing to complain about, and had a great relaxing week. Thanks to everyone at Jalsa :-)
