Food & drink prices at OUTRIGGER Mauritius Beach Resort
Food and beverage costs are consistently reported as steep and poor value, with buffet, à la carte, and package meal options all criticized for high prices relative to quality and portion sizes.
Recent claims (2026 reviews) maintain consistent negative sentiment about pricing and value. A May 2026 claim confirms the free drinking water issue still unresolved. April 2026 Danish review provides detailed critique of portion-to-price mismatch. Earlier June 2025 claims document the MUR 3,700 buffet cost and quality concerns. December 2025 claim (half-board complaint) suggests the issue is persistent across seasons and meal plan types. No improvement trend detected over time.
What the reviews tell us
À la carte restaurant prices are steep with portion sizes that do not justify the cost, described as 'tasting-menu-sized portions without the tasting-menu experience' at luxury resort price points.
Buffet meals cost MUR 3,700 for two people but are criticized as 'very expensive for bland food,' raising concerns about value for money.
All-inclusive package has coverage limitations, with certain à la carte restaurants (e.g., Voyager 47) not including all items in the package benefit.
Half-board (demi-pension) meal quality was reported as poor, with 3 of 4 dinners described as inedible by one reviewer.
Complimentary drinking water is not provided despite reviewer expectation that it should be a standard service amenity.
Multiple reviewers across different dining formats report significant concerns about the cost and value of food and beverage offerings at OUTRIGGER Mauritius Beach Resort. Buffet pricing is documented at MUR 3,700 for two people, but reviewers characterize the food as bland and expensive for what is provided. À la carte restaurant pricing draws the most specific criticism: a Danish reviewer details that portions are "tasting-menu-sized" without justifying the "luxury resort prices" charged, with steep prices that do not align with portion sizes. Even the all-inclusive package carries limitations, with certain à la carte restaurants (notably Voyager 47) excluding some items from package coverage. A French-language reviewer reported their half-board (demi-pension) experience particularly negatively, describing 3 out of 4 dinners as inedible. Additionally, an Indian reviewer flagged that complimentary drinking water should be provided but reportedly is not. The consistent thread across claims is that guests feel overcharged for underwhelming quality and quantity.
