Tariffs for accommodation:
These vary from $10,00 a night, for a bed and breakfast in Mauritius (clean), situated in Rose Hill in the center of the island, to the five star hotels where I leave your imagination to fit your budget!
Tariffs for Mauritius hotels in Mauritius:
If quoted to you directly, major hotels in Mauritius are generally more expensive than if you went through your local travel agent in the country you reside. The major Mauritius hotels have, generally, NO interest in dealing directly with the public. They will quote you, but when you calculate, you will see that you are better off taking a package with your local travel agent.
A hotel that will deal directly with clients, and based in the heart of Perybère, is the Côte d\'Azur Hotel who offer extremely competitive prices and the hotel is of excellent standing. They class themselves as a 2 star hotel but in terms of cleanliness, hygiene and general services I class them as a 3 star hotel, without all the additional services that a 3 star hotel in Mauritius may provide.
Perybère has the most beautiful beach in Mauritius. Perybère also offers a number of supermarkets for the self catering tourism and just down the road, in 3 minute taxi ride, you have in Grand Baie a hypermarket called SUPER U!
There is a good night life at walking distance and a dozen or more restaurants in Perybère; all reachable in 5 minutes on foot.
Talking about restaurants, rent yoursef a car and take a drive down to Chamarel Restaurant in south of Mauritius and enjoy a beautiful serene view of the west coastof Mauritius whilst eating.
Recommended self catering beach bungalows in Mauritius:
I recently discovered, in Trou d\'Eau Douce on the east coast of Mauritius , self-catering beach bungalows in Mauritius called Cilaos, a family business run by Belall and Sarah.
The complex is extremely clean, and much to my surprise very cheap, starting at low season tariff of Rs 900.- (Mauritian Rupees) Euro 42,-* a night for a studio to Rs 1,300.- a night for a duplex bungalow (ground floor) 2 bedrooms, bathroom, dining room and kitchen with balconies from the master bedroom and living room permitting you to appreciate the sun rise whilst \"breakfasting\", a totally breath taking experience! The east coast can get quite windy, in the winter months, but a paradise for wind and kite surfers.
You can contact Belall and Sarah through their web site.

Recommended Guesthouses:
If you are looking for a peaceful stay in Mauritius on the golden beaches of Point d\'Esny, also on the east coast, then try Chantemer which is one of the most exclusive guest houses in Mauritius starting at $ 60,- a night including breakfast. There is no other guest house in Mauritius that compares to the exclusive standard that the hosts offers. This guest house is highly rated in the best guides such as Michelin, Lonely Planet, Vacances Evasion, Routard, Le Voyagé, Le Point, Marie-Claire... the list is endless!
Mauritius Car Rental:
Car hire in Mauritius can be quite expensive due to high import duties on imported vehicles this said they can range from $30,00 a day upwards.
Consider consulting one of the biggest car hire in Mauritius.

Excursions in Mauritius:
You can also plan your own excursions throughout the island or go through local tour operators who offer an excellent service.
Diving in Mauritius:
Mauritius a diving haven? Let Hugues Vitry guide you through a virtual dive and experience the beauty of our lagoons in an \"oceanic jungle of beauty\" of light, faun and colours. Visit Hugues\'s web site (in French). Another web site is Diving all over the world.com.
Mauritius Ecological Tourism Portal: Ecological tourism, still in its early years, is a new tourism sector for Mauritius. A new eco-tourism portal is under development.
Shopping:
Where most items are imported and are subject to high import taxes, the textile industry provide you with cheap branded textiles, normally rejected for exports, but still a bargain.
Beware of textile branded imitations such as Ralph Lauren, until December 2004, this sold under the banner of a \"Factory Shop\" which were popping up like mushrooms all over the island . As of 1st january 2005 these articles are ONLY available \"underground\" at the major markets in Port Louis and Quatre Bornes and in some cases under the counter of exclusive textile shops.
If the police don\'t know where Ralph Lauren counterfeited textile is still being sold, then you can be sure ALL taxi drivers in Mauritius do, because they obtain a commission when they bring a tourist anywhere where money is spent. Actually the best thing to do is to let the Taxi drivers show you the good shopping spots, not buy anything that day, and then rent a car and do a days shopping which will work out cheaper than the taxi earning up to 20, 30 or even 40% on your back even if you have to rent a car for Rs 800 per day. It may be hard to take that line because they can be so charming when money is round the corner!
