Food & drink prices at LUX Belle Mare
LUX Belle Mare charges significantly above-market prices for food and beverages across all categories, with reviewers reporting high costs for restaurant meals, drinks, snacks, and minibar items.
All seven claims are from 2026 (May–July), indicating current and consistent pricing; no historical comparison available to assess trend direction, but the uniformity of recent complaints suggests stable high-price policy.
What the reviews tell us
Restaurant dining significantly overpriced: Indian dinner €300, Chinese dinner €200 for family meals, and pizza at €20 per item (claims 36482, 36485)
Beverages and bar pricing well above local market: draft beer €8, minibar beer €6, versus supermarket six-pack under €10; minibar spirits are half-sized bottles charged at full price (claims 36488, 21646)
Incidental items and extras heavily marked up: ice, table water, ice cream, midday snacks, massages, and even tennis balls subject to additional charges (claims 14318, 28704)
Limited beverage variety and customer service gaps: chilled coconuts unavailable on-resort except by special request and unrefrigerated (claim 36485)
LUX Belle Mare exhibits a consistent pattern of premium pricing for food and beverage across multiple categories. Multiple independent reviewers from different countries report inflated prices that substantially exceed what would be paid off-resort: draft beer at €8 versus supermarket six-packs under €10, restaurant dinners (Indian €300, Chinese €200 for families), pizza at €20, and minibar spirits bottled at full prices despite reduced size. Beyond standard dining, ancillary beverage and snack items—ice cream, table water, midday snacks, and even ice—carry notably high charges. A request for chilled coconuts, a commodity readily available in the local Mauritian market, cannot be met without special request and results in an unrefrigerated product. The consistent negative sentiment across recent reviews (May–July 2026) from European guests suggests this is not an isolated perception but reflects hotel pricing strategy. Note: no claims address whether breakfast is included in rates.
The evidence
Representative quotes from 7 supporting reviewsTout est très cher dans l'hôtel : une glace, l'eau à table, les snacks pour le midi, les massages, il faut aussi payer ses balles de tennis si on veut jouer
The mini bar is great but you have to pay for things like vodka/gin as its half sized bottles not the mini ones
Het is niet mogelijk om een kokosnoot (gekoeld of los) te verkrijgen op het resort. Op speciale aanvraag kán dit worden gefaciliteerd (ongekoeld)
Pizza is 20 euro - de prijzen voor lunch zijn ook niet mals
Een draft bier is al gauw 8 euro en een flesje uit de minibar 6 euro. In de supermarkt kost een sixpack bier of flesjes nog geen 10 euro
