5/5 Etseban E. 11 years ago on Google
I
stayed
here
back
in
November
for
3
nights
after
only
planning
on
spending
2
nights.
The
owners
were
so
nice
and
Gran
Baie
so
laid
back
I
just
had
to.
The
owner
was
like
a
living
Buddha.
So
incredibly
nice,
smiley,
helpful,
and
peaceful.
His
Finnish
wife
was
also
great
to
talk
to,
providing
a
foreigner's
glimpse
into
Mauritian
life.
I
think
I
was
the
first
Yank
they
ever
had
stay
with
them.
They
lent
me
their
own
bike
the
night
before
so
I
could
go
get
in
50
miles
before
the
sun
got
too
high
in
the
sky
and
didn't
charge
me
for
two
days,
just
the
day
I
actually
rode
the
bike.
The
rooms
were
huge
and
the
linens
very
nice.
Only
at
mid
day
did
I
feel
the
need
to
turn
on
the
A/C
which
cooled
the
room
right
down.
One
of
the
best
accomodation
values
I
had
during
my
15-day
vacation
there.
Well
worth
it!
The
place
is
just
down
the
street
from
this
awesome
little
dim
sum
place
(Boulette
Ti
Couloir
(Lil'
Hallway).
I
think
it
cost
me
just
a
couple
of
bucks
each
time
I
ate
there
and
they
had
one
of
the
best
chili
sauces
I've
ever
had.
The
noodle
shop
in
back
was
cheap
as
all
hell,
too,
and
the
owner
was
so
friendly
I
couldn't
believe
it.
No
wonder
the
places
had
a
long
line
out
the
front
door
(as
far
as
I
could
tell,
they
shared
the
same
entrance)
from
the
time
they
opened
until
they
closed
(you
had
to
walk
through
they
dim
sum
place
to
get
to
the
noodle
palce).
The
boulette
(steamed
ball
/dim
sum)
place
was
literally
6
ft
(2m)
wide
with
a
row
of
seats
along
the
right
had
wall.
You
had
to
walk
20
ft
(6m)
through
the
shop
(hallway)
to
get
to
the
noodle
place
in
back.
That
place
was
a
bit
wider,
but
not
nearly
as
deep.
Looked
like
a
kitcen
in
someone's
home
and
not
much
more,
but
they
cranked
out
the
food.
With
all
the
exoensive
tourist
places
lining
the
main
drag
though
Gran
Baie
and
expensive
tourist
price,
this
place
was
a
gem
of
a
find.
Not
only
was
it
cheap,
but
maybe
two
of
the
best
meals
I
had
in
Mauritius.
They
had
some
seating
out
front,
too.
The
guesthouse
and
the
restaurant
are
both
down
a
side
street
with
locals
just
going
about
their
business.
In
the
evening,
people
are
just
hanging
out
having
beers
as
the
sun
goes
down.
A
few
dogs
walking
along,
but
totally
docile.
That
is
one
of
the
things
that
struck
me
about
Mauritius
and
few
of
the
other
100+
countries
I've
been
to.
You
can
really
tell
how
gentle
the
people
in
a
place
are
by
how
the
stray
dogs
are.
The
people
are
kind
and
gentle
to
the
dogs
and
the
dogs
don't
run
around
like
vicious,
growling
beasts.
Everywhere
I
went
in
Mauritius
the
strays
were
extremely
docile
and
the
people
extremely
laid
back
and
kind.
One
of
the
best
travel
experiences
I've
had.
Well
worth
the
nearly
48
hours
spent
on
4
planes
to
get
there!
