Where to Stay in Flic-En-Flac | Hotel Review
Ashmara Villa Review
Under no circumstances was I ready to abandon my dream vacation to Flic en Flac in Mauritius. Hotel prices ranged from £2500 up to £30,000! Although I was optimistic, positive, and hopeful, I was also realistic. Paying for a child, adult and hotel were going to be extremely hard for me, but I knew I was going to do it somehow. Choosing where to stay in Flic en Flac wasn’t so hard, because I had a budget and I knew what my non- negotiables were. (Clean, cheap and easily accessible to the capital.) I opted for a villa over a hotel, which proved both cheaper and more beneficial for a longer stay, for my family and I.
After scouring the internet for months, I finally made my decision to stay in the Ashmara Villa in Flic-en-Flac. My reason for choosing Ashmara villa was because it ticked all of the points I had considered before choosing. It was a short walk to the beach, supermarket, local high street, bus stops and currency exchange places. Everything we needed was right before us. The location was perfect. The reviews had me sold, many visitors stated how clean the apartment was, and how accommodating the host was, and this really encouraged me to book.
This villa was one of the cheapest villas I found when using Booking.com. Choosing this villa enable me to travel to this luxury destination!

Ashmara Villa offered us a private swimming pool, and our apartment included a washing machine, shower, television, free wifi, free car parking, and air conditioning. It was clean, airy and extremely welcoming. Our hosts Deepak and Honey were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond for our needs. Budget friendly, Ashmara Villas can easily be one of the best priced villas in Flic-En-Flac.
The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and we felt safe and comfortable with them.

Living Room/ Kitchen: 4.5/ 5 – Everything accessible and a good size. Garden door as-well as balcony door at the front.
Bathroom: 4/5 – (Clean and modern. Windows very high up)
Costs: 10/10
Although our television did not work, we didn’t bother to report it because we were exhausted at the end of each day! The shower was a little tricky to use, in terms of manipulating it to achieve the right temperature, but our host informed us of this beforehand – and we managed to get it to work after a while.
My overall review for Ashmara Villas would be 8.5/ 10. My expectations were exceeded, I must admit. I would definitely recommend it, and most of all I would love to return.
I’d love to know your views on some low-cost places to stay in Mauritius.

Where we Chose… As other family members were joining us on this vacation to Mombasa, it made more sense to book our flights and accommodations separately especially as we had intentions to stay in other areas across Kenya.
