Le Gibus

Advantages: Elegant, Beautiful and very relaxing
Disadvantages: The cost of the treatments can mount quickly.

...A couple of years ago, my parents were trying to decide what to get me for my birthday, and decide to treat me to a stay at Le Spa. My friend who lives in the area and is a member of Le Spa's Gym decided to spend the day having treatments with me. I was advised to arrive at the hotel at 9am to book in for my treatments whilst having a relaxing cup of tea. During which time, my luggage would be taken to my room and the booking in forms would be delivered to me during lunch. Cool, I thought no rushing around with checking in and booking treatments before everything was fully booked. I duly arrived at 9am, and headed for the entrance. The door was locked, with a note up saying Le Spa would be open at 10am. Intriguing seen as I was told to arrive at 9am. I had a look around for another entrance or someone to ask about the mix up...

Advantages: stunning location, on the beach, outstanding service
Disadvantages: too many people, but it is a popular hotel

...What a fantastic hotel. It's has a beach from location so it's just seconds away from the white sands and turquise seas. Simply breathtaking!!!! The hotel isnt cramed into a small area...it's set on a spacious estate, about 80 acres. There are coconut trees spread out around the area, and looks very tropical. For 3 star plus hotel, you dont get anything better than this in Mauritius. It has everything you need. You have the option to do either half board or all inclusive. In my experience, do the all inclusive. The food in the restaurants are deliciuos. The hotel has many facilties and is ideal if you have small children.

Advantages: absolutely delicious food, wonderful atmosphere
Disadvantages: walking down the stairs after a few glasses!

...behind an unsuspecting thick glass door at the top of St Mary's Street, Cardiff, lies an absolute gem of a restaurant. Le Monde has an absolutely unique atmosphere of elegance, good food and vivality to it. It actually has a rather unique way of doing things. There are no menus, what you see is actually what you get. Behind a wonderful glass counter there is a display, often stacked high with 30 types of fish. I can recommend the dover sole which they will filet for you at the table in an impressive display of skill. Never fear meat lovers! There is now a great "alternative" display for meat. They offer juicy sirloin and filet steaks (recommended by me!), duck, rack of lamb, chicken "le Monde" which is chicken wrapped in bacon with a game pate inside, mmm! Lots more is on offer. The staff are friendly, the food doesn't take... Read review
