LUX Grand Gaube: A Family-Friendly Mauritius Resort

What the reviews show

LUX Grand Gaube has a Google rating of 4.6 from 3457 reviews, with public feedback consistently focused on its setting, service and range of on-site experiences. Guests describe beautiful views and gorgeous beaches, while several reviews say staff were friendly, attentive and especially good with children. One family also highlighted the care given to a gluten-free child, including specially prepared breakfast items, ice cream cones and suitable evening meals.

The overall picture is of a resort designed to keep guests on site. Beach service receives particular praise. One review describes staff preparing loungers, cleaning shades, bringing fresh towels and serving chilled drinks. That level of attention appears repeatedly in the feedback, alongside positive comments about housekeeping and individual staff members.

Food and facilities

Dining is a major part of the appeal. Reviewers describe the buffet as having excellent variety and single out Bodrum and Inti for especially strong meals. The property also has an ICI ice-cream hut, a burger hut, a coffee bar with small cakes and cookies, and restaurants identified in its public listing as including vegan and vegetarian options.

Families appear well catered for. One review mentions baby equipment such as a steriliser and bottle warmer, which made the stay easier. Children are also mentioned positively in comments about the staff and food. Couples have a reason to consider it too. A honeymoon review praised the hotel, views and beaches, while the adults-only area and on-site spa offer quieter options within the wider resort.

Other features mentioned by reviewers include a cinema and a broad programme of activities. The result is a property with enough variety for guests who want an easy, self-contained holiday rather than a base for constant sightseeing.

Points to keep in mind

The feedback is strongly positive, but it is not flawless. One guest reported flies around the fruit buffet and ants in a sugar jar on more than one occasion. That same review still praised the food overall, but these details are worth noting for travellers who are particularly sensitive to buffet presentation or small maintenance issues.

The price level is not established by the supplied listing data, so the resort is best approached as an upscale stay rather than assessed on value. Public reviews support the quality of the setting and service, but they do not provide a reliable basis for comparing current package costs.

Best suited to

LUX Grand Gaube fits families who value practical baby facilities, children’s activities and flexible dining. It also suits couples seeking a polished beach resort with a spa, adults-only space and attractive views. The strongest match is for travellers who want varied facilities and attentive service without needing to leave the property often.

The clearest priorities are the beach, the food outlets and the staff-led service. Guests with dietary requirements should discuss them with the resort before arrival, although the reviews indicate that the kitchen has handled gluten-free needs thoughtfully.
