Spacious rooms with a nice bathroom and lots of storage space, although cleanliness could be improved a little (mopping/vacuuming more often perhaps), as feet got a little dirty just from walking inside the room. The staff are friendly, although service was a little slow most times and not as attentive to guests as could be (eg. we sat down at the couch area at the pool and after no one came to ask us what we wanted within 5 minutes, we had to inform a staff member that we would like a menu and to order something).

The dinner buffets had some good food and the change-up everyday (Mauritius, Indian, Seafood, French nights) was a nice addition in order to try a variety of platters and styles. The fruit (watermelon, pineapple) were however not that good most of the time, a little disappointing as Hilton normally has delicious fruit.

The free activities at the beach (Wind surfing, sailing, kayaking) were a really nice addition and there is surprisingly quite a bit of life in the water if you went snorkeling, but you have to go on a calm day and find a place with corals in order to see all the marine life (I saw: lionfish, trumpetfish, triggerfish, angelfish, lots of sea urchins, pipefish, small moray eel, porcupinefish, boxfish, moorish idol, butterflyfish and many more).

Overall a really enjoyable 10-day stay on a beautiful island! It is however a slightly older hotel building (almost 20 years old), so there are a few aforementioned things that could be improved to make it an even better experience for the guests.
