Cap Ouest by Horizon Holidays

Hello everyone! We are currently on holiday here! A great option for holiday in this location, we are located on the first floor of the villa, direct access to the ocean, the house has everything you need for relaxation and life, washing machine, dishwasher, coffee machine, TV, air conditioners, refrigerator. It is better to use special shoes to enter the ocean, there are luxury hotels nearby, only apartment guests are on the beach. Restaurants, bars, and snack bars are within walking distance (10 minutes on foot). A large supermarket is 5-7 minutes away by car. Summary: Good value for money. Special thanks to manager Jeremy, a person who approaches his work professionally and is very responsive!

This is the 4th property on the West Coast managed by Horizon Holidays that we have stayed at and it is definitely one of the best! The property is in the most perfect location, over 3km of beach in both directions, we took wonderful morning walks both sides. The ocean front has been cleared mostly of dead coral and you can wade in deep and swim safely behind buoys set far out. The ocean access at Cap Ouest is actually better than what the resorts next door have! The Penthouse unit C5 we stayed in was wonderful, has everything you need, very efficient aircons in the living areas which is uncommon in self catering. Also comes with a super gas braai that we used every night. Beds were huge and comfortable, bathrooms very well laid out with big showers and decent water pressure. Kitchen has everything you need. The deck and it's pool are amazing and was such a treat getting to relax and watch the sunset. Big shout out to Jeremy for attending to any queries super promptly, to Hugo for assisting me in arranging things prior to our arrival and to Cataline and her super team for going above and beyond in keeping the place sparkling (even the grill!). We felt like VIPs with the treatment we got from everyone, and the little bonus cat mascot was a lovely addition. Anyone considering booking here should get those dates secured, you can't go wrong with Cap Ouest! Traveler tip: book your hire car through Follow Me Car Rental who are just a block away and very professional and affordable.

This penthouse is fabulous, we never got tired of the views. The kitchen is well equipped although there is no toaster (although there is a sandwich toaster!) and I couldn't find the handle for the grill pan, but these are minor niggles. The Wolmar supermarket is only a few minutes walk for any essential supplies, the supermarket at Cascavelle is a 10 mins drive and has everything you need. The kids loved having their own rooms and plunge pool. The main pool and sunloungers were never busy but the pool is only 1.3m deep so fine for small kids but not really deep enough for my teenagers (who are both hardcore swimmers). The beach is just a few steps away and the water is warm, shallow and there's zero waves (being protected by the reef further out). Mauritius in winter is warm but not sweltering, and we only had 1 rainy day in the 10 days we stayed, the weather was lovely with lots of sunny days, but watch out, the sun sets at 6pm and there's very little twilight, 30 minutes later and it's pitch black. The road outside is unlit so you'll need to use your phone's torch if walking out at night. There's a cluster of restaurants about a mile up the road, so it's walkable or there's parking opposite if you want to drive. Our favourites were Bourgainville, Chutneys and Tidez. Hugo from Horizon is very welcoming and provided a list of recommended activities, we did the catamaran cruise with JPH, Blue Safari submarine, 7 coloured earth, Black River national Park and Casala wildlife park. We had a fantastic time in Mauritius and the penthouse was just fabulous. My top tip... buy an Emtel tourist SIM for your phone so can use data without paying ruinous data roaming fees, I got mine from the Pingouin car rental desk in the airport, it was only 500Rs for 15 GB (less than £10 GBP) and lasted for the whole time we were in Mauritius.

We rented 2 apartments at Cap West for our visit to Mauritius for my daughter’s wedding. Both the penthouse and the apartment were clean and comfortable but what made our stay more enjoyable was the friendly and helpful attitude of all the staff. The wedding took place at a 5 star hotel but we all felt our stay at Cap West was more enjoyable as we all felt so relaxed and happy there.
