We started our trip in Mauritius at Maison Papaye and booked sadly at the last minute so we couldn't stay more than three days. The hosts are really friendly and always keen to help you out on your excursions. Philippe and Marie-Helene both bent over backwards to make sure that we managed to do every thing we wanted to even... More

This is a very nice house with beautiful rooms. The ambiente is a little bit "french colonial" like. Very friendly owners a a very nice atmosphere makes this location a very good starting point for small trips to the surrounding area like La Morena or Chamarel. The missing last star is for the location ... because you the next beach... More

We booked with only 2 days notice and they happened to have a room available for us! We arrived at the B&B and we were greeted by one of the staff, whom was warm and friendly. We sat down on the porch and gave us a nice cold fruit drink on arrival! She then showed us our room which was... More

Your host Phillippe is thoughtful, kind and quite a character who works hard to make your stay memorable. We really appreciated a very clean and beautifully decorated colonial style house with good size rooms. We enjoyed the long and deep pool - big enough to have a good swim. The location is excellent whether you want to do sea-based activities... More

My wife and I stayed with the family (Helene and Phillip) for three nights in late April this year and it was an extremely wonderful experience. The memory with the family is sweet and here are some highlights: The mansion. There are three rooms on the second floor, all of them are beautifully decorated, in Greek, Africa and Indian style,...

This is a small but very genuine place where you feel like you are a personal friend of the host couple. The building must be quite unique, it has an old and autentic colonial style (in every detail) but it was built recently. The village La Gaulette has not much to offer so a rental car is recommended as you... More

My husband and I spent a night at Maison Papaye. We probably had too high expectations due to all the praises we read about this bed & breakfast, but we were not that thrilled about it. It is a very nice house with a nice garden, at a not particularly nice location. However, if you are with a car (which... More

From the very moment we arrived (way earlier than we had a right to, 8am) we were welcomed as though we were part of an extended family, nothing was too much trouble for the host Philippe. His wealth of knowledge helped to make an exciting island, more accessible. Plenty of places to visit, much to discover, though a hire car... More
