Just the lighting to the staircase at night. The light switch is on a timer. You have to be pretty quick to get up to the next floor. You are literally left in the dark when it cuts out.

Great couple running the Impala. They provided all our needs.

One thing that would have been great, which we've had elsewhere is having a small bottle of cooking oil available. We bought a bottle which was 1l and was far too much for the 2 weeks. This did not detract from our stay, just something to consider.

This is the best self catering apartment we have ever stayed at. Immaculately clean, a really comfy bed, a full kitchen with complete cooker/oven + microwave, pots and pans etc. A fridge/freezer. Brilliant kitchen! The bedroom with a double bed was a good size and the bed was really comfy. The second bedroom with twin beds was also a good size, with big double wardrobe including a safe. The living room/diner was large with a sofa and 3 armchairs, a large coffee table, a TV, and a large dining table and chairs. The bathroom was sizeable with a huge shower and lots of hot water (if you're brave enough to have a hot shower in such hot weather). There was a balcony that overlooked the garden and had a table and chairs on it. It was wonderful to sit and have breakfast, watching the birds and butterflies in the orange trees. Our hosts were so kind. The weather was incredibly hot and they had kindly moved us to this apartment as it is a cooler one. Each room has a ceiling fan but if we go again I will pay the supplement for the air con. Each day we had omelette and toast with coffee for breakfast which saw us through to tea time. They were such lovely, unobtrusive hosts. Location was great for us. This is in Mon Choisy and is just off the main road but it is the end of the cul-de-sac so it was quiet with no through traffic. We were only a 5 mins stroll from Mon Choisy beach which, in my opinion, is the best beach on the island. There was a small supermarket at the end of the road which had poor choices and was expensive: on our hosts recommendation we went 1.5km along the road to the big supermarket. There were some smashing restaurants around if you don't fancy cooking (Le Mediterranee and Stephanie Snack are excellent) and all within a 3 min stroll. I absolutely couldn't fault this place.

Toilet was literally loose. Cold showers Nothing really was clean except for the first two or so days There was food put in our fridge. Although it was explained why. The fact that it was done before it was spoken to us about. The breakfast was okay l guess, very very simple. But no privacy. The lady would just enter the room and put it down even though you are still sleeping. People up stair’s or neighbors were loud. I am very simple and can do with very little as a traveler, but for every other traveler out there, search hard enough for accommodation if you are looking for cheap and read all comments and l mean all of them. Because we looked and saw good reviews, but after we stayed there we went and searched or read all the reviews and saw that most were negative. At least the oaks that owned the place were nice and friendly, but the place has so much potential.

The location

Stayed in January 2024

Lovable and kind-hearted hosts Ashok and his wife Renuka are deserving 5 stars! And their very friendly dog Sheeba is adding additional + and a smile on guest faces :) - Main reason why i am recommending stay in The Impala Mauritius is because of the hosts which are deserving wonderful and enormous praise: Mr. Ashok and his wife Renuka. People with a heart of gold (warmth radiates from these very nice people), extremely hospitable, very caring about the comfort of their guests and very helpful at every step. There was no situation in which the hosts did not ask if I needed anything and if everything was OK. I felt both safe and cared for at the highest level, and even surrounded by the warmth of a family home :) Mr. Ashok is a head of the business and he is taking care of planning the tours around the island and picking up the guests from the airport ( both services are additionally paid but extremely affordable and cheaper comparing to the taxi services ) and his Wife Renuka is taking care about the guests and about any kind of room services cleaning and preparing breakfasts which are just DELICIOUS! - Appartment is very cosy, clean and very big. There is huge main bed and the smaller one both have very comfortable mattresses so the quality of a sleep is just outstanding. There are also few sofas and chairs in case You want just relax for example coming back from a walk around the beautiful neighborhood. The kitchen in the apartment is equipped with all the accessories and kitchen appliances You might need. The bathroom was very clean and well-kept. - Appartment is situated in very quiet, safe and beautiful area so you can really rest and relax. It is located 5 minutes from the ocean, and two of the most beautiful beaches on whole island ( Mont Choisy - pine trees near by and Trou aux Beach - palm trees :) ) ( if You are lucky at the morning while walking into the breach there is a tree and You might be a witness the courtship of beautiful yellow birds :) ).

The location. Quiet area very close to two top beaches. The apartment is great for two persons, very comfortable. Fantastic sunrise from the terrace. Birds everywhere. The kindness of the owners Ashok and Renuka. Always here to help. And a cool dog. We feel so good here that we have decided to book for another week.

1. Neighbors Barking dogs (2 of them right below our bedroom, I had to through water on them to keep them quite) through the nights also dragged their eating bools make a noise. 2. Both fans were very noisy (because they were old). 3. Cupboard they were only 5 bent wire hangers for 2 of us for 26 nights. 4. Shower doors do not slide close, had to lift up the doors to close them. 5. We were placed on the 2nd floor (not mentioned on the web site when booking) which was extremely difficult to cart luggage up/down. 6. There was no pool. 7. kitchen utensils were very basic and at the bare minimum. 8. the pics of our apartment not as is. i.e. 8a. Veranda had no table and chairs and to narrow to fit a table and had fitted Aircon compressors. 8b. View "as advertised" sea/mountain/city were just about nonexistent, looked straight into the next door neighbor's house wall. 9. We spent 2 nights there due to the fact it was dreadful while finding alternate accommodation (not through "booking.com). 10. We were told that a % refund was not possible as it is "booking.com's policy not to refund the customer.

11. The lady in attendance was extremely helpful and kind.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

It was our first time traveling to Mauritius and we booked the impala for our stay with my husband, actually we got married in Mauritius and had our wedding pictures taken in The impala. The rooms are very very spacious which accomodated photographers and make up artist and our few family to be there for the pictures and video with no space problem. All the rooms kitchen, washroom living room and bedrooms were very clean and we were offered cleaning services and breakfast. The beach is less than 10 minutes walk from the Impala so we were able to head there whenever we have no plans to go far in Mauritius, there were also area around the beach to do our grilling which made it more memorable. It is located in a very safe area with many hotels and restaurants in walking distance, so it was common to see foreigners walking to restaurants even at night. Which made it not only safe but convenient for us newly weds to grab dinner at nearby restaurants when we didn't feel like having a home cooked meal. The days we cooked at home, the kitchen had more than enough utensils for us and our family who also booked stayed at impala for our wedding. But most of all, the owner and his wife are very friendly, helpful and kind people. They helped us with our many questions patiently including helped recommending my husband find a spot for proposal, place for our wedding pictures,places to visit and pkgs for tour on island which had water sport are jus a few . We couldn't have booked a better stay for our wedding and found ourselves talking now that we need to go back there again sometime.

My stay was far too short..!

Renuka & Ashok have been absolutely lovely. Sheeba the black labrador dog is very friendly. I feel very at home here. Location is excellent between two very popular beaches. I personally would recommend Mon Choisy. Parking is very easy in front of the property. The apartment is exceptional for the money. Bed is comfortable, there is a shower, fans, fully functioning kitchen for a short stay (stayed for a week). Breakfast is excellent (omelette is well made). I would most likely stay again. Recommended.

The Impala is a family business and you can really feel the effort for the guests of the owners. I got a big appartment, even for four people it would still be huge. The kitchen was really well equipped. I had been on the road for a long time and I was even allowed to use the washing machine. What I like the most was the kindness of the owners, everyday we had a little chat and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. And all that for a low price. Thank you so much!
