We (a family with 5 kids age 5-14) had wonderful 3 weeks in the Villa Bootango. The house is beautifully located with a garden front that ends directly at the beach 20 meters from the clear sea. The pretty garden pool is well maintained and was - as the ocean - in heavy use for daily swims not only by the kids but also by the parents! The house is spacious and furnished both, with good taste and practical. 10 people could easily live here comfortably, the 7 of us had privacy and comfort as we wished. The property is well maintained by gardeners, a competent house manager, who regularly contactes us to see if everything fits our needs and security personnel that made us feel safe and at home. The 2 local housekeeping ladies from the nearby neighbourhood organized everything around the household, kept the house in perfect order (despite 5 young kids - we still try to copy at home how they managed all this...) and cooked delicious meals that were hard to find in any restaurant around the island. Above all they were extremely friendly, reliable and discrete. The Roche Noire Area is a bit away from the classical resorts, cities and tourist places, but offers original pittoresk Mauritius feeling and island charme instead. However, a rental car is a must if you stay here.
Altogether, an unforgettable experience for young and old(er) that we can highly recommend.
(One comment to the rather negative evaluation from a recent visitor that initially made us a bit nervous: yes, you may encounter bypassers occasionally (ocean access in Mauritius - even in the top resorts is open for everyone everywhere) or a strolling dog from time to time. Happens in our village at home in Germany, too. If this is too much typical indian/african daily life for you - book a Sheraton on the Maledives...
