LUX Grand Gaube
Decoded from 354 reviews across five sources: LUX Grand Gaube earns overwhelmingly positive assessments from a globally diverse guest base, with seasoned luxury travelers repeatedly ranking it among the best resorts they have experienced in Mauritius or further afield — a finding reinforced by multiple guests expressing intent to return. Breakfast and the spa are standout strengths, the former praised for its exceptional variety and complimentary premium coffee, the latter for skilled therapists, comprehensive facilities, and a well-managed booking system that preserves a tranquil atmosphere. The clearest recurring friction is food and beverage pricing, which guests across multiple stays describe as excessive — with drink and water charges at dinner drawing particular criticism. A very small number of repeat visitors felt the property had slipped below five-star expectations on return, though that signal is too thin to weigh against the dominant body of evidence.
