Gym at InterContinental Resort Mauritius, an IHG Hotel
The gym features new equipment and an adequate range for most guests, but operational issues with cleanliness and maintenance—including irregular bin emptying and water dispenser refills—temper the overall experience. Ventilation is also a concern in the tropical climate.
All claims are recent (April–May 2026), indicating these observations reflect current facility conditions. No temporal improvement or decline is evident within this narrow timeframe.
What the reviews tell us
New equipment and adequate range meet most guest workout needs
Waste bins not emptied and water dispensers not refilled regularly, indicating inconsistent housekeeping
Inadequate ventilation and fan circulation causes discomfort in warm climate
Overall facility is basic but functional for typical resort gym use
InterContinental Resort Mauritius's gym presents a mixed profile. Equipment newness and range meet basic user needs—recent reviewers confirm the facility has new equipment and sufficient machines for typical workout requirements. However, the gym suffers from maintenance and housekeeping lapses that undermine user comfort and hygiene. Most notably, reviewers report that waste bins are not emptied regularly and water dispensers are not refilled consistently, raising concerns about cleanliness and convenience during workouts. Additionally, a recent British guest flagged inadequate ventilation in the tropical environment, noting the gym becomes uncomfortably warm without sufficient fan circulation. These operational shortcomings suggest the facility itself is adequate but daily upkeep is inconsistent.
