Recif Attitude (Adults Only)

This hotel is outstanding in so many ways. It's very much a 3 star hotel which is punching above it's weight in many areas, namely the location and the staff, which are both exceptional. It is a small hotel with a relaxed and non-pretentious vibe, the ideal place to relax and enjoy some of the best sunsets you will ever see. The food is good and plentiful (especially the fruit at breakfast), and I would recommend booking the Kot Nou tapas restaurant upstairs (open Mon/Wed/Fri) which has a slightly classier and more intimate feel (but get in early, it's only small and quickly gets fully booked). The entertainment is low-key, apart from the Sega dancing where the guests are encouraged to get involved. The rooms are fairly basic but had everything we needed, and the bed we found exceptionally comfortable. My only complaint about our particular room would be that although it faced the sea, we could barely see through the palm trees hanging right over our balcony which blocked the view (this was, however, a problem we could cope with)! The biggest negative for us was the pool. From the outset we noticed that it was a cloudy green colour, and appeared to have a film of debris floating on it most of the time. We did notice attempts to clear it but it really just did not look pleasant so we were not tempted to go in, although other guests did use it. But as the beautiful crystal clear Indian Ocean with it's abundance of tropical fish it's literally a few paces away, why would you bother anyway?! As long as you are happy with a warm welcome rather and simplicity rather than luxury, you will not regret coming here. NB the Recif Attitude is closing for a refit in mid December, but anyone coming before then should not be put off, you're in for a treat.

Just arrived back from 13 nights at Recif Attitude. We wanted a quiet, chilled, sit by the beach holiday and that's exactly what we got. I don't think it could be closer to the beach! We had a standard beach front room that I would totally recommend. For the bit extra that it costs it's well worth it for the sound and a view of the Indian ocean right outside the room! The food was great, a good variety to choose from and all of the staff were very friendly. Couldn't do enough for us. We also treated ourselves to an ayurvedic massage at the hotel spa which was excellent. If you're into your snorkeling then a reef full of amazing marine fish is literally yards away. If you just want to bathe then there's a sandy walk into the sea right outside the main part of the hotel. This was a truly relaxing holiday!

We stayed from December the 19th to December the 30th. We had a Deluxe Beachfront Couple room which was spacious, had sunbeds on grass right outside and was only a few steps from the beach. We would recommend a beachfront room as it's great to be able to hear the sea when you wake up and they are also close to the swimming pool. The hotel is simply decorated and feels bright and clean and the gardens are also very well kept. The hotel staff also clear sea**** from the beach, which is a nice touch given that it's a public beach. We stayed on an all-inclusive basis and the food was excellent, a good breakfast, a lot of choice for lunch and a very varied evening menu with both local and international cuisine, all beautifully presented and cooked. The Recif Attitude is a very relaxed, peaceful environment and it really has the feel of a small, boutique hotel. What really stood out for us was the staff, they are all very friendly and helpful and seem delighted whenever they can do anything to make you happy. The staff are obviously very well chosen and trained and are a credit to the hotel and it's management.

I have been there many times and I usually go for day package as the spa is the best place for me. The spa ladies are so warm specially Jessica and Ritika.....they always welcome us with a smile. Mathieu at the reception so professional and yet friendly. Would miss this place. Wish all the best.

A peaceful, beautiful home from home holiday. Me and my partner stayed in the Recif Attitude for 10 days (all inclusive). A break down below. The food The food was fantastic. Breakfast ranged from cereal to freshly made omelettes, waffles, fresh juices, fresh fruit and yoghurt. Lunch was made to order, you with a variety of choices which also included a small street food spot which served up traditional foods. Dinner was a range of traditional food as well something for everyone. Curry’s, pastas, fish, vegetables. Something for everyone! The staff There isn’t a member of staff here that isn’t completely happy to help in anyway possible. Whether it be with food, carrying bags, making drinks, giving advice or just simply saying hello. They recognise your face and remember the drinks and tables you like. Talking of drinks … all the cocktails and rum (Rhum) are delicious and strong! It was my birthday while we were here and they brought me out a cake with candles and everyone wished me a happy birthday through out the day! Everyone was just so nice and tentative nothing was any trouble. The rooms They were pleasant and clean, good shower, fantastic pillows the air con worked well and our room was set just back off the beach so we could fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. All in all this place is a perfect get away for couples or friends (adults only). The views are fantastic, the weather is warm, the beaches and views are once in a life time.

Pros:- lovely staff, beautiful location, good for snorkelling Cons:- Some rooms are damp & smell, poor evening buffet food. Dogs in restaurant a constant problem. Glasses in bar just rinsed by hand under a cold tap. Requested to see head chef on a few occasions didn’t happen. In l’Ocean Restaurant Food not as described our bill was reduced for some items but the point we made was of little interest. A trip advisor report made in March 2023 by Steven H was spot on I was going to change hotels after reading it and I emailed the manager Mr Warren asking if it was correct he copied me his reply to the trip advisor report. Obviously the managements total disinterest has probably a lot to do with the hotel being demolished in December and being rebuilt over the next two years

The hotel is categorized as 3*, however the whole experience is 5*+ Can’t remember all the names, but the staff is very helpful and make your stay a very good vacation. Azagen, Ridwaan, Shanil at the bar&restaurant are the best! - not to be missed! Big Up to Matthieu at the reception! 1)Nice Ambiance 2)Constant Pampering 3)Delicious Food 4)Excellent Drinks The whole place is full of eco-initiatives - refreshing but welcomed!

We were at the hotel to celebrate my birthday. We enjoyed our stay with the spectacular view from the room that gives the Ocean. Liked the Dinner with the surprise Cake. Most of all, the lunch food was amazing along with the dessert. The staff were very helpful, caring and can make you feel that the Yes Attitude was there.

Great location-right on the beach, although nowhere to walk to in the evening. Rooms all facing the sea, could do with redecoration. Water pressure in shower very poor, also took water about 10 - 15 mins to become warm enough for a shower. Meals a bit better than your average hotel, upstairs restaurant very good, but same menu every time it was open. Initial welcome very good- cold flannel and drink, but we’re then kept waiting for about 20 mins before we were given a tour of the hotel and shown to our room. I would recommend having a car to get about the island.
