Beverages—particularly alcohol—are consistently described as expensive, with no offsetting positive pricing claims.

Plain water is charged even to half-board guests, a practice explicitly criticized as unreasonable by reviewers from multiple countries.

Half-board package lacks included beverage options (beer, wine), forcing guests to pay separately for drinks with meals.

No evidence provided on restaurant meal costs, minibar pricing, or breakfast inclusion status beyond half-board context.

Long Beach Mauritius faces significant criticism regarding food and beverage pricing, particularly around drinks and water charges. Multiple recent reviewers from diverse geographies report that beverages are expensive, a complaint that appears consistently across July 2026 reviews. More substantively, the hotel charges guests for plain water at meals, even for those on half-board packages, which reviewers from France and Zambia explicitly flagged as unreasonable. A guest from India noted that the half-board meal plan lacks beverage inclusions such as beer or wine, suggesting the paid-drinks-only model creates a gap between meal and beverage value. No claims provide specific pricing data or context on restaurant or minibar costs beyond drinks, limiting the scope of assessment. No positive claims counterbalance the beverage complaints, and all claims trend negative, with concentrated recent timing (May–July 2026).
