Le Touessrok, MauritiusHotel in Mauritius

Nikki O'Hare

I really liked Le Touessrok, it is definitely more suited towards a slightly older clientele and those who enjoy the finer things in life. The hotel exudes elegance and rather than have a stuffy atmosphere it has more of a refined air and would be perfect for clients who enjoy a more sophisticated dining approach.

The greens are mainly small and undulating, requiring precise approach shots.

Le Touessrok is the epitome of elegance and romance. We find it suits couples who are looking for a dedicated romantic resort with an aura of old world charm and elegance surrounding it. With floating sun beds and an exclusive off shore island, you really do get the sense of being in paradise. Dining is a real pleasure and for couples with interests in food and fine wines, Le Touessrok is not to be missed. All of the bedrooms have romantic touches, however we feel the Junior Suites are much more suitable, due to the views and location on the resort.
