Relaxing at the Grand Floridian

I went to Mauritius last year end of Feb/beginning of March and my god it was pitching hot in Grand Gaube.
I burnt with Factor 50 suncream! Be prepared for the heat as it is just coming to the end of their Summer!

We stayed in Grand Gaube for our honeymoon, one month before that poor lady was murdered at the Lux, I still feel shaken about it 10 years later. Such a beautiful place it’s hard to imagine something like that could happen.

Oh I didn’t know it was a rebrand, I remember driving past it when it was legends with all its flags outside whenever we left the P&V hotel down the road. I assumed another hotel brand had bought that one and the ones in Belle mare (best hotel I have ever stayed at) and the Le Morne.

Lux* resorts was the result of a rebrand of Naiade Resorts in Dec 2011 apparently this had been planned in October 2010 (sadly it was unfortunate that the Legends murder happened in Feb 2011).
They owned Beau Rivage (Lux* Belle Mare), Les Pavillions (Lux*Le Morne), Legends (Lux* Grand Gaube) along with Tamassa, Melville Beach and Le Recif. The group also owned properties in the Maldives and one on Reunion and still operate in both areas under the Lux* banner. On one of my trips to Mauritius I had lunch at Legends overlooking the bay and it was very nice indeed and I remember I liked the rooms but thought the resort a liitle far out of Grand Baie at that particular time. As I remember the Paul et Virginie hotel opearted by Veranda Hotels was nearby. There endeth the Lux* resorts history lesson Edited at 02:06 PM. |

Everyday dibb day is a school day! We very much enjoyed the Paul eat Virginie, we were 20 & 23 and couldn’t believe we had made it to paradise, even if it wasn’t complete 5 star luxury.
When we went back a few years later to the Lux Belle mare it really made us realise the best beaches are in the east! |
