Les Dunes 2 was our house for 2 weeks july'18. It appeared to be a paradise. The villa is way more beautiful than expected. It appeared to be a lot more spatious too. One bedroom on the ocean side on the 1st floor is as big as the living+dining room. Waking up in this room is gorgious. We opened the screens, curtains and the windows completely and enjoyed the Sunrise climbing above the ocean horizon multiple times. The other two very spacious bedrooms with individual very large high standard bathrooms are located at the back side of the house, connected via the central hall. The maids were here every day, cleaning and cooking. We first had to get used to these services; it was the first time. They were very friendly and helpfull and cooked everything we wanted to. Snorkling is great, only 3 feet in the water you already swim in between 1000's colorfull fish, all directly coming from the Nemo movie. Be aware of the sea urchins. Just drift above them and enjoy the spectacular view. We had two cancelled flights, but Sophie was a great help, helping us to rearrange the villa, the transportation to/from the airport, et cetera. We used the rental car company which was proposed by Bernard. We hired two cars which were brought to, and collected from the villa. It worked out perfectly, including a 4G/wifi modem to have instant internet access in the car. Thank you Sophie, Bernard and the two maids for giving us an unforgetable holiday over...

Read moreFinding a great place for a staycation is not as easy as it sounds in a country like Mauritius where most rentals tend to focus on renting out to tourists - for many reasons. I then stumbled upon Book Mauritius Villas and contacted the number advertised. Bernard promptly picked up and transformed my experience straight away. With grace and good humour, he asked a few pointed questions (he knows his business) and lost no time in steering us in the absolute right direction! We ended up spending a magical week in Roches Noires, the perfect holiday getaway. We weren’t too sure what to expect when we got there to be honest but it turned out that Bernard and Sophie had thoroughly anticipated our needs (those pointed questions) and delivered with brio! You can’t fake professionalism or good service. It comes with experience, a thorough understanding of the métier and what it requires as well as excellent people skills. Bernard and Sophie have...
