Dinarobin Hotel Golf & Spa Hotel in Mauritius

Chris Goldring, Mauritius

The rooms at the Dinarobin really are a great size. The resort itself is very large but because it is spread so far along the wide stretch of beach you don’t feel like everything is on top of you. The service was very good and I liked the fact that I could vary my time spent here by going across to Le Paradis and eating out or partaking in their activities. The resort will be particularly enjoyed by golfers, however, couples and families will also find a lot to like at the Dinarobin.

Room Types

Our Comments and Suggestions on choosing a Room Type:

All of the rooms on offer at the Dina Robin are very large and luxuriously appointed. Don’t be confused by the ‘Club’ element before the room type. This is basically a suite-only hotel offering junior and senior suites. The rooms become ‘club’ if you opt for the club dining package. All Junior Suites are the same, it is only their location which differs. You obviously pay more to be that much closer to the beach. The same with the Senior Suites. The difference between the Junior and Senior Suite is size. If you can’t stretch to a Senior Suite, the Junior Suite is more than adequate in size. This is a five star superior hotel and the rooms do not disappoint.

The Junior Suites are 65m². They are located on either the ground, first or second floor and are all sea facing. They can accommodate 2 adults and 1 child.

The Club Junior Suite (Beachfront) is the same as the club junior suite but enjoys a gorgeous location right on the beach.

The Club Senior Suite (Beachfront) is 115m² and on the ground and first floor. These rooms are only the most spacious but are also the closest to the beach. They can accommodate 2 adults and 1 child.

The Family Suite consists of two inter-leading Junior Suites. These rooms are always on the ground floor and sea facing. They are 130m² and can accommodate 2 adults and 3 children.

The Club Family Suite (Beach Front) is larger than the family suite at 180m². Special features include a DVD player, Nespresso machine and beachfront access. This room is the top room category on offer for families residing at Dinarobin. It can hold 2 adults and 3 children.

This course has some the best greens on the island. It is a very flat course with no hills and is therefore very walkable. On the 16th and 17th hole you are able to catch a glimpse of the whole bay and indeed the entire course is set in stunning scenery with a mountain backdrop. A few people have been put off by the state of the fairways, however, on the whole it offers a great day out.

Customer Reviews of the Dinarobin

Honeymoon to Mauritius and South Africa during August 2011

We had an excellent stay at this hotel however it was not as nice as the Le Prince Maurice and we had a little trouble with our room to begin with as it had a smell of damp. No alternative rooms were available so the friendly staff deep cleaned the room and although not 100% it was a vast improvement. The club was great and we went for drinks before dinner most evenings. The French restaurant at the Dinarobin had the best food in the entire complex and we dined there a couple of times.
