We had a great time at Explora. After reading the reviews I was a little concern about making the reservation, but I am glad I did. We booked two rooms for our last night in Mauritius and we chose the area because it was near the airport and we had an early flight to South Africa. The place is not exactly the easiest to find, because the GPS does not find the street name, and the street you have to turn right onto from the Blue Bay Road says that it is a private road. You have to see the name of the hotel painted on a Blue Rock with an arrow indicating that you can indeed drive that direction. Our check in time was 2pm, but we arrived at noon and they took us directly to our room. They were very friendly and offered us coffee, juice and then gave us the towels to go to the beach. The rooms were comfortable, clean, but definitely cheap. It is not a 5 star hotel. Our safe didn't work, but we just locked our stuff inside a suitcase, the beds were comfortable. They had just cut some fresh yellow coconuts, so they offered us some, so a after a little while she came over to the rooms with the coconuts opened and with a straw for us. The beach is gorgeous and literally a few steps from the place.They also gave us some recommendations for dinner in Mahebourg, which was great. We had to leave early, so we didn't have the breakfast that was included, therefore I cannot comment on that. I think if you don't keep your expectation too high, you will have a great time here.
