Pool at Tropical Attitude
The pool draws mixed reviews; while some guests rate it highly, a recurring complaint is that the unheated water is uncomfortably cold, particularly problematic given the hotel's windy, cool East Coast location.
Recent reviews from May–August 2026 consistently raise temperature concerns. The most recent fully positive reviews (claim 427449, 427547, both July 27, 2026) lack specificity, while specific negative feedback concentrates in the August 2026 reviews, suggesting cold water remains a current issue.
What the reviews tell us
Pool water temperature is a significant drawback; multiple guests report unheated water that is cold or uncomfortably cool, particularly concerning given the East Coast's windy, cool climate
Some guests express satisfaction with the pool overall, though without specific details about what aspects they value
Cold water complaints cluster in recent reviews (May–August 2026), suggesting this is an ongoing condition rather than seasonal anomaly
No specific information available on pool size, design, views, hours of access, or safety features from the reviews provided
Tropical Attitude's pool generates conflicting guest feedback. Two reviewers offered unqualified praise, but these statements lack specificity about what makes the pool appealing. In contrast, multiple recent reviewers identified a significant drawback: the pool lacks heating, resulting in cold water temperatures that detract from the experience, especially given Mauritius's East Coast climate with wind and cooler conditions. A French guest described the pool as "glaciale" (icy) in May 2026, while another reviewer noted the water was "a bit cool" due to the lack of heating. The same temperature concern has been raised by at least two separate reviewers within days of each other in early August 2026, suggesting this is a persistent rather than seasonal issue. The hotel's existing pool infrastructure appears adequate in other respects—the mere fact of its existence and the focus of feedback on temperature rather than size, design, or safety suggests these aspects are unremarkable or acceptable. However, lack of heating is a material comfort issue that notably diminishes the pool experience for guests seeking leisure relaxation.
Pool Quality Split: Vague Praise vs. Specific Temperature Complaints
Two guests report the pool is "great" without elaboration, while multiple other guests specifically complain that lack of heating results in cold or very cold water. These do not necessarily contradict—a guest might appreciate other pool aspects while finding temperature inadequate—but the contradiction highlights that generic praise obscures the real comfort issue that specific reviewers identify. The temperature complaints are concrete and repeated across independent reviewers in a narrow time window, whereas the positive claims lack any supporting detail about which aspects justify the praise.
The evidence
Both sides shown — including dissenting reviewsThe only suggestion I would make is to consider a heated swimming pool, especially since the hotel is located on the east coast where it can get quite windy and cool

It is not heated, so the water was a bit cool
