Ocean Villas Hotel offers a dining experience that has received mixed feedback from its guests. Many visitors have enjoyed the great dinner offerings, remarking on the very good and varied cuisine available, particularly praising the buffet format that provides a decent range of choices. The presence of live music during dinner enhances the atmosphere, making for a lively and festive experience. While guests have appreciated the culinary variety, some have noted that the food lacked the expected spice, leaning towards a more French-style, which may not fully align with those seeking a traditional Indian Mauritian flavor.
The half-board option is viewed positively, suggesting a good value for those planning to have dinner at the hotel regularly. However, opinions diverge on pricing, with some finding the meal costs to be on the higher side. Despite these concerns, the quality of food and live musical entertainment remains a draw for many diners.

Overall, the dining at Ocean Villas Hotel has a solid foundation with room to better meet the diverse expectations of its guests.
Ocean Villas Hotel offers guests a mixed experience when it comes to the rooms, but there are some notable highlights worth mentioning. Many guests appreciate the spaciousness and comfort of the rooms, with some noting the modernized decor and beautiful presentation upon arrival, complete with well-made beds adorned with little flowers. The views, especially the ocean view rooms, are a standout feature, providing guests with breathtaking scenes right from their rooms, and some suites even offer a private pool and a relaxing outdoor bath.

However, not all experiences are uniformly positive. Some guests have found discrepancies between the room photos and actual conditions, citing issues like outdated decor and lack of bathroom doors.

Despite these issues, many guests still find pleasure in the spacious, comfortable accommodations and the unique features offered by Ocean Villas Hotel.
Ocean Villas Hotel presents a mixed picture when it comes to cleanliness and upkeep, as suggested by the reviews of past guests. The common areas such as the pool show daily maintenance, providing a refreshing environment for visitors. The beach, although clean on some occasions, has been noted to lack consistency in cleanliness. Within the hotel, certain rooms meet cleanliness expectations, with guests appreciating clean accommodations upon arrival.
The hotel’s older facade and the neglect in certain areas indicate an urgent need for renovation and enhanced maintenance. Specific issues have been highlighted, including rusty furniture, dirty windows, and uncomfortable cushions in poolside and bar areas. Pests such as bees, wasps, cockroaches, and ants have been reported, suggesting an improvement is needed in pest control practices. Furthermore, the timing of housekeeping services often falls short, with cleaning done late in the day.
Despite these concerns, guests have found solace in the tranquility of the gardens and the courteousness of some staff members, which contributes positively to the overall experience. Nevertheless, the consistent presence of abandoned cats around meal areas detracts from the comfort of dining experiences, pointing to a need for better control and management in these spaces. Overall, while certain aspects meet guests' expectations, targeted efforts to enhance cleanliness and maintenance will greatly improve the experience at Ocean Villas Hotel.
