We stayed at the appartement style accommodation for 15 nights and we know the location well as we lived there - here is some recommendations before you decide to book there: Internet is only available from the lobby For the whole stay TV was not functioning When we mentioned to the staff about the issues the service started to be lacking. Missing towels for the bathroom - cuttlery washed negligently - bed sheets exchange not as usual. Above all difficult to sleep on Saturdays as the nightclub nearby was too noisy until 2am.

Very comfortable and easy making reservations with the manager Ram. They need a good sign out on the road for the suites. Supermarket next door handy if you wanted to eat in as there is a decent kitchen and balcony in each suite.

Nice location if you want to be near the beaches in Grand Bay. Otherwise somewhat inconvenient if you want to visit other parts of the island. Nice to be next door to a supermarket and across the street from a football field, too. The manager went out of his way to make my stay enjoyable, even letting me relax in my room the final day until 5 pm, since my flight out was late in the evening! There was a bit of a bug problem - not unexpected in tropical climates, really. The place was not in the best of shape, but it suited my needs and was a good bargain.

Does not reflect the marketing. Looks much better online. A/C didn’t work, sink was leaking, blinds were broken, lots of noise at night. Manager became fairly agitated when I informed him of these issues. We checked out 5 days early to avoid staying at this disappointing property.

We travelled with our young son and found GBS to be perfect for our needs. The rooms are spacious and the air conditioning works very well. All of the staff were absolutely lovely & the daily housekeeping was always prompt and very thorough. We had a small issue with our shower which was fixed so quickly. Great location next to Supermarket 2000 with a little one. Would definitely stay here again

It is time Hotel.com do serious Quality Control
I trust and I have always believed that I do not need to question whether a hotel or accommodation suggested in your wedsite (Hotel.com) would be of any fraud of any sort. I arrived at Grand Bay Suites on the 12th January 2019 as planned. Note - I have never really given any negative feedback for the years I have used Hotel.com as my travelling guide to where I will be staying. To my horrors, all was fine until I was shown into my room. The room was not very clean to begin with, the smell of humid and dullness in the air, fine switching on the airconditioning would help, the worst came when I went into the bathroom. Excuse my words here but it was disgustingly dirty. The water outlet where you take a shower is black and you can see the thick layer that should be washed on a chromed surface. It was really bad. I was about to go to bed and the sheets were stained. I checked out the next morning as I felt disappointed as it was not a business trip but my own personal holiday after more than 15 years not taking one. The stars that represent the status of the hotels etc, do you ever check it yourself or you simply take the feedback given with no clue whether it was true or just plain simple, there is a feedback and it should suffice. I wanted to call and thought to myself, how can I as I had no real excess to wifi as it did not exist in the room and there was no tel and no real means of communication. It was pointless to get angry with the staff. Holiday ruined.

Dear Mr Roderick K TOH , Following your complain only one thing which we too find strange ,you check in at 21pm and left the next day at 14h12 and the only comment you made to the security during your check out is that your wife made you a surprise and booked a room at Club MED and not to worry for your unexpected departure, since everything has already been settled. How did we come across this information !!!.Anyway I believe what ever problem you may have come across there are different ways to solve it ,but definitely not the way you expressed yourself toward us. kind regards R Payen.

Good for beach and shopping
There is full security and your car is safe as well. There was a bad toilet smell. We inform management and they apologize. The tv was not working properly and there is no maintenance at night but it got fix next day. The wifi not good in the room but you can have good wifi in reception area. The apartment is very nice with nice view on the balcony. Swimming pool is good and all staff are friendly. Shop is walking distance and beach. It is good value for money. Everything is clean in the kitchen and you can make whatever you want to cook.

Conveniently situated, comfortable and good value
Grand Bay Suites are conveniently situated about a kilometer from Grand Bay Beach towards Pereybere. There is a small supermarket next door with restaurants and night clubs a short walk away as is the lovely La Cuvette Beach. The suites are well appointed, spacious, clean and comfortable. The friendly staff are always on hand and willing to help in whatever way they can. All in all a great place to stay.

Excellent stay, with minor issues...
The room was very neat and clean. We experienced a few minor issues, some of which were resolved during our stay. These issues included not receiving linen for the sleeper couch even though we made it known beforehand that this would be required. However, upon requesting such, we were provided with the linen. The aircon in the bedroom did not work, so we simply opened the balcony door for a breeze whenever required. This aircon was not repaired during our stay. The aircon in the lounge area worked perfectly though, but was not adequate to cover both areas. The wifi signal in the room was poor, so we sat on the balcony whenever we required better wifi connectivity! The rooms were serviced daily, with towels replaced, etc. The kitchen had mismatched crockery, but this was not a problem for us. All in all, an excellent self catering stay, which we hope to visit again in due course!

Stay at Grand Bay 13 to 19 Sep 2014
My stay at Grand Bay suites was excellent. The hotel reception in the evenings was very helpful and assisted me to obtain a taxi and best prices for tour guides. I cannot remember his name but he always works during the night shift. I would recommend his service and the new security employed evenings as excellent and hope management at Grand Bay recognise them for always going the extra mile to assist clients and there sincere dedication and loyalty to there work. We were also very impressed with the cleaner who cleaned our room very neat. Grand Bay suites should consider having some entertainment for kids and adults such as table tennis or a pool table.

Lovely apartments in great location.
We stayed here for 16 very enjoyable nights. The apartments are very spacious & airy. The kitchen is well equipped, but some sort of container with a lid for storing sugar would be useful as I always feel that open bags of sugar will attract all sorts of creepy crawlies!! We went & bought our own container at the supermarket so no big deal. Talking of supermarkets, there is one right next door which sells everything you might need. Grand Bay Suites are in a nice quiet location, about a 15 - 20 minute stroll into the centre of Grand Baie & about 10 - 15 minute stroll to La Cuvette beach. It is a good idea to hire a car to get out & about but I wouldn't recommend Port Louis unless you like traffic jams & horns honking!! Mont Choisy & Trou Aux Biches are beautiful beaches. The wifi is very poor! We kept being disconnected which was very frustrating. We run a business & we rely on good internet connection to deal with any queries we get but it was virtually impossible to send a quick email without being disconnected about 10 times!! Expedia give the location of Grand Bay Suites as Perybere, but they are not in Perybere. Perybere is close by but saying that GBS are there can be misleading & give the impression of being further from Grand Baie centre than they actually are. We stayed in June/July and had quite good weather considering that it is winter in Mauritius but it can get very windy, so advisable to pack a light jacket or something similar.
