Very noisy at night, with dogs barking loudly for a good part of the night

Staff very nice, facilities, activities, meals

The people and the whole experience itself is definitely worth it. I’d definitely like to come back again.

Nothing!

We had a fantastic couple of nights here (2 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 12). The whole team are amazing and the set up is super cool! The lunch food was sensational and it was great to do the boat trip to the gorgeous island and kayak to the waterfall. Our tent was very comfortable and finally we loved the chilled vibe around the campfire in the evening. We would highly recommend this place.

Our two-night stay at Otentic was an absolute highlight and the perfect way to end our trip to Mauritius. The experience met every one of our expectations, and I truly wish we could have stayed longer. The food was a particular standout—both the breakfast and dinner were amazing and felt like great value for money. We also loved the unique self-service/honesty bar concept, which created a wonderful sense of trust and community. Even though it was a cold and windy time, our tent was incredibly cozy and the temperature was just right. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, but we do have a small suggestion that could further enhance the experience. Since it was a cold and windy period, the outdoor activities like kayaking and visiting the nearby island weren't ideal for us. We think the property has great potential for alternative day/ evening activities, such as a cooking class, trivia night, or a bonfire with s'mores. A great solution we found was to use our car to explore the local area, which made for a well-spent day. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this lovely eco-lodge.

I can't fault anything - everything was perfect!

An incredible place all-round; from super kind staff who make the stay even more special, to awesome, comfortable tents with very comfy beds and linens, to great food. I cannot recommend this place enough, and I think it's a must-visit place on the map of Mauritius. We are in love with Otentic and can't wait to be back!

Nothing that could be controlled - the weather was windy but we knew that before we went.

A great experience - the food is delicious & great value, we enjoyed the range of activities - the kayaking, boat trip to Les Cerfs & boules, archery. We also tried all the homemade flavoured rums. The tents were very comfortable & outside bathrooms were fun.

Can be a little loud at night but wouldn't put us off coming back.

Great food and relaxed atmosphere. There are a number of activities that are available which was great, especially the kayaks. Tents were spacious and clean. Would recommend.

What a perfect stay at Otentic. We were first welcomed by a very friendly staff that made us feel the authentic Mauritian spirit of the place with a touch of eco-chic vibes. The value for money is really excellent as the meals and drinks were of incredible quality and the activities on site (free kayak to the nearby fall, free boat trip to a picture-perfect beach on Ile aux Cerfs) worth the stop on our tour of the island. Can't recommend enough!

Great setting with the safari tents, simple but effective and in full harmony with nature. Food was simply fantastic, Mauritian food home cooked, location right on the river with access to kayaks and boats.

We really enjoyed the experience. Very large, clean and roomy tents. Safe parking and delicious food.

A lot of mosquitoes. It’s explainable because tents are near the river. And it is impossible to get rid of them completely, so this is just a reminder to take more mosquito repellents with you

The staff were very friendly and responsive. Thanks to them the stay felt like home. Food was amazing. All the activities like shuttle to Île aux Cerfs, kayaking was organized and explained perfectly. The tent was very comfortable and with beautiful view. We’ve been here only one night but now there are memories for a year ahead)

The only things to mention here are out of Otentic's control, but thought it fair to mention for future guests. We stayed higher up the hill, nearer the road. There is road noise & music from cars up until about 9pm. We use earplugs anyway. There is a nearby mosque with a loud PA system with several calls to prayer on some days. There are other animal noises such as dogs barking & cockerels rising up from the valley at times. Otentic gave us the contact for a taxi ride from Pereybere to Otentic. We organised this before we travelled to Mauritius. Sanjay quoted 2500MUR to which we agreed. Once in Mauritius, we found this to be on the high side. Sanjay was helpful & drove safely. He asked if we wanted to go to some tropical gardens on the way or go to Otentic via the coast road as he had lots of time. We opted for the coast road. He offered to stop at a beach, so we stopped at Belle Mare for half an hour. At Otentic, he then said 2500MUR was the basic price but as we detoured (on his suggestion) the price was now 3000MUR. We paid but disagreed with his mode of business.

There is so much to like about this place, it"s hard to know where to start. The tent accommodation is roomy & comfortable with a mobile fan. The shower room is well appointed, but also like a tropical garden as it has plants placed in there growing out of the ground, soaking up the shower water. There is also a secure safe in the tent. The grounds are a delight, with lots of food growing & labels for the plants. There is also lots of wildlife to enjoy with many bird species, cute little frogs, giant fox bats, geckos & lots of interesting insects. The hub area has a relaxed safari vibe, with a pool, a self-service bar, comfy seating, a dining area, a games room, the kitchen, lots of amazing mature trees, darts, petanque, badminton, archery, etc. Plenty for everyone to enjoy. Below the hub area, on the riverside, were kayaks & SUP boards for use by guests (no charge), a sheltered yoga area, a massage room and a place to get on/off the free boat ride to the stunning Ile Aux Cerfs. We took a kayak up the river to see the waterfall & see the monkeys on the far riverbank up close. We also went to Ile Aux Cerfs on a litter-pick day & were rewarded by Otentic with an outstanding beach lunch. I had a back/neck massage by Sangit, which not only was amazing, but was also a lifestyle masterclass. The staff are all young and full of enthusiasm & so helpful. They also helped out with the free cooking class offered one day. Now to the best bit - the food. We only ate breakfast (included) and dinner (900MUR = £15 per adult). Buying dinner entitled you to inclusive soft drinks 24/7. Breakfast was fruits, cereals, breads, homemade jams, cheese, meats & eggs cooked to order. Somedays, there were extras like the most tasty eggy bread. The dinners were outstanding & the best food we had in all of the places we stayed in our 17-day stay in Mauritius.

A little bit too close to the road, a too long intro to the place by the staff (when you have kids)

Relaxed, nice, great food and good activities
