Food & drink prices at Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa
Beverages at this resort are consistently overpriced and poorly valued, with water paradoxically charged even to half-board guests despite being a basic necessity. Quality-to-price ratio is unfavorable.
All 11 claims are from 2026 (May to August), indicating this is a consistent and ongoing issue in recent months with no evidence of improvement or deterioration over time within the available data window.
What the reviews tell us
Water is charged separately even for half-board guests at dinner and breakfast, contradicting the inclusion premise of the package
Minimal complimentary water: only one bottle provided per room for an entire stay
Drinks during meals are universally charged separately and reported as expensive by reviewers from six different countries
Wine list prices are prohibitively high
Cocktails are cheaper by 20–30% versus other resorts, but quality is noticeably inferior
Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa exhibits systematic and problematic beverage pricing practices that reviewers from multiple countries and recent stays consistently flag. The most egregious pattern involves water charging: half-board guests (for whom breakfast and dinner are supposedly included) are still charged extra for plain water at dinner and initially at breakfast, with pricing as high as 150 Mauritian rupees per filtered water bottle. Even room amenities are minimal—only one complimentary bottle provided for an entire 8-night stay for two guests. Beyond water, drinks during meals are charged separately at above-market rates. While one reviewer noted cocktails are 20–30% cheaper than nearby resorts, this comes at the cost of noticeably lower quality, effectively negating the price advantage. Multiple reviewers from France, Australia, South Africa, Israel, Turkey, and Réunion report that drink pricing at dinner time is particularly steep and unreasonable.
