029’s sporty boss was lucky enough to find himself on Mauritius to participate in a golf tournament to not only make all of us at 029 proud at his skills on the green, but also to make us insanely jealous for being able to hang out on a tropical island for over a week. Well-deserved holiday though, we might add. Here is his first-hand account of what he thought about Mauritius, Le Touessrok and losing a few golf balls by paying attention to the scenery and not the fairway.

Le Touessrok in Mauritius definitely deserves its distinction as a member of the “Leading Hotels of the World”. It is a breathtaking resort right in the beautiful “Trou d’Eau Douce” bay. My friends and I had a great time because you can not only lie on the beach like crazy, but also engage in various activities. One has the chance to do all sorts of watersports at the “Ile aux Cerf,” Mauritius´ neighboring island. If you like, a boat will take you to various spots around the island to wakeboard and you can even do it for the entire day, if you have the stamina. There is also an excellent and challenging golf course on the “Ile aux Cerf” but make sure you bring enough golf balls, you will definite lose some.

We were accommodated in the junior suite which was an exceedingly well-furnished room and even had an iPod docking station which was just great for us. The resort, with its lovable nooks and crannies, really seems cozy and unhurried, even though it is quite big.
Now maybe my favorite part, the food. One is spoilt for choice with six different restaurants and bars. They range from classic tropical poolside dining, refined east-meets-west cuisine and relaxed shoes-off eating on the beach. Since the ingredients are always fresh and the variety is extensive, you too will be looking forward to every single meal.

The clientele at the resort is very cosmopolitan and is well taken care of by the extremely friendly staff - who seem to really and thoroughly enjoy their work. It was definitely not intrusive, but if you had a wish in mind somebody had already fulfilled it for you. My friends and I just loved the stay.
