Parking in and out was quite a challenge as the gate opens directly to the well frequented street. We were staying in the third floor and carrying the luggage upstairs without elevator was a bit annoying.

Spacious room with a terrace. Big, a bit dated closet. Parking spot. Many shops and restaurants nearby. AC in the room. The owners were nice and almost always available at the reception or in the shop next door. The owners can also organize tours and activities in the area.

Distance from beach and probably bad timing because it was hard to find some good food

Aki is nice host

Stayed in January 2024

The facilities are very basic, but then again what ever was needed were gladly provided.

This accommodation is made exceptional by its staff. Thank you to Aki, Ashwan, their lovely mother and Trishna in the shop, they were extremely kind, helpful and accommodating. Also a big thanks to the very kind and generous Mr Sanjay for the scooter and car hire. Our stay in Trou d'Eau Douce was made great by the wonderful Mauritian hospitality of this family.

Would have appreciated a little cook-top or microwave. Not ideal if you are sensitive to traffic noise (i am not, just stating for travelers who are looking for quite)

Convenient central location w private parking, shops and restaurants close by and friendly staff.

Very noisy day and night on the main road. Note that only one picture shows the building in Booking.com. Other external pictures misrepresent the location. This is somehow unfair...

This is a simple but conveniently located place. Well run by friendly people.

No air conditioning, ants was an issue, problem with hot water.

Good car park, close to water and restaurants. Allowed early check in.

Very nice staff, everything clean and absolute fair value for money. My room had a fan and the bed was ok. Parking inside the building was available.

It would be nice to have at least a small refrigerator in the room, but I heard in the bigger rooms there's one 😉

I had a great stay at Golden Shell Residence, first of all due to the kindness of Aki and his family. Unfortunately, my luggage didn't arrive with me, so I had to wait for 2 days until I got it, but the mother of Aki helped me to get all what I needed for these 2 days. If you stay in Golden Shell Residence, then you'll experience a warm welcome and people ready to help you or give you very useful information. It's a place where you'll feel secure and safe. Further, you'll find shops for your daily needs and restaurants just when you get out of the residence. The residence also offers you a very good breakfast for a reasonable price. If you like to travel by public bus, there's a bus station. In case you want to discover the island by yourself, Aki will help you to get a rental car, too. Thank you Aki and your dear family!

Amazing atmospheric with warm welcome from Host.

The owners are very friendly and helpful, also they have a market below the residence and that’s great to buy some food and beers ... If you want to stay one or 3 nights it’s a good place. Around the residence you have a lot of restaurants and markets to buy some food. You are 15 min way from the beach.

The owners were really kind, and always willing to help. The room was spacious and clean. Though the balcony was facing the street side, it was calm during the night. We had parking for the scooter inside the property. Possibilities to organize tours, transfers, and car/scooter rental. Truly recommend this place:)!

There is no such. He gave everything for the money paid.

Central location. The building has a small mini market, greengrocer and smaller restaurants nearby. It is a good base for exploring the area and visiting the island of Ile aux Cerfs. Don't miss this island while you're there! I suggest going to the island from Jetty to Ile aux Cerfs the Golf Course and Ilot Mangénie. True, they’re not taking a speedboat, but the price is half that. On the island, however, you will find many opportunities. If you are a good host, the service is attentive. We'll be happy to come here again. The accommodation is good value for money.
