The 237-room Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa is a busy upper-middle-range property in the heart of Grand Baie. Mauricia's units feature a balcony or terrace, free coffee and tea, and a minibar. The resort has two restaurants (one buffet, one a la carte), two sparkling bay-view pools, and a full range of amenities including a spa, excellent fitness center, and kids’ club. All-inclusive rates are available, too. The bay beach isn't as dazzling as those outside of Grand Baie, but the tradeoff is that guests are within easy walking distance of the town's shopping and nightlife. Travelers who prefer a more removed location on a wide, beautiful beach could try Mauricia's sister property, Canonnier Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa.

The mid-range Merville Beach Hotel has a superb beachfront location in Grand Baie. The 169 rooms are rather basic, but all feature flat-screen TVs, balconies or terraces, and free coffee, tea, and bottled water that are replenished daily. Merville's one main restaurant serves all three meals and hosts nightly entertainment. There are three pools (one main, one for kids, and one at the spa), but these are overshadowed by Merville's narrow but lovely beach area, where guests can order food and drinks from under a palapa umbrella or take advantage of the hotel's free water sports, like sailing, water-skiing, or stand-up paddleboarding. Travelers looking for a more in-depth all-inclusive with multiple restaurants and bars could try Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa, though the prices there might be double.

The upscale 20 Degres Sud Hotel is a boutique resort at the edge of Grand Baie, in the quiet neighborhood of Pointe aux Canonniers. No two of the 36 rooms are identical, but all are gracefully outfitted with elegant decor and amenities such as flat-screen TVs, coffee- or espresso-makers, and semi-open bathrooms with separate showers and claw-foot tubs. About half have beautiful views of the bay. The on-site restaurant provides excellent dining in a refined atmosphere, and guests can also book a three-course dinner cruise aboard the hotel's vintage boat or a seafood meal at the hotel's off-site, open-air restaurant, located on Flat Island. Note that children under 13 are not allowed. Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel (also adult-only), an 11-minute drive to the east of Grand Baie, is the only Mauritian hotel that can truly compare, though its rooms aren't as special as the ones here.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Grand Bay Suites is a distinct departure from the swanky, upscale beachfront resorts that typify tourist-friendly Grand Baie and Pereybere. The low-key hotel isn’t trying to be much more than a clean place for budget travelers to bed down after exploring the area by day. It's a few minutes from the beach and a supermarket. The 25 apartment-style rooms feature separate sleeping and living quarters, plus full kitchens, flat-screen satellite TVs, and private balconies. The charmless neighborhood and lack of Wi-Fi anywhere but around the pool may be enough to dissuade some visitors. Pereybere Hotel & Spa offers more amenities in a modern, sophisticated package for slightly higher rates.

The four-pearl Domaine des Alizees Club & Spa by Evaco Holiday Resorts is one of the area’s swankiest hotels. There’s nothing of interest to tourists within walking distance, and it’s a 20-minute shuttle ride (free and every hour) to the hotel’s lovely stretch of private beach. But, the luxe, full-featured apartments, beautiful outdoor pool, chic restaurant, and modern spa are likely to provide everything the clientele is looking for in a tropical getaway. Each of the 70 rooms is a full-size condo with a spacious floor plan, full kitchen, wide balcony, free Wi-Fi, and multiple flat-screen TVs. For a bit more money, Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa offers more amenities right on the beach -- but it doesn't have the same elegance.

The 21-room Baystone Boutique Hotel & Spa is a chic luxury property located in the Grand Baie-adjacent neighborhood of Pointe aux Canonniers, on the edge of where the bay meets the sea. Sleek, modern rooms offer amenities such as flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and sumptuous bathrooms with separate tubs and huge walk-in rainfall showers. The pool is tiny, however, as is the stretch of beach it overlooks, but they're surrounded by plenty of padded loungers. The hotel's gourmet restaurant serves tasty local plates, plus breakfast is included. Some water sports are free, while other activities such as the spa, excursions, and cooking classes are extra. Compare rates with the Beachcomber Le Canonnier Hotel, which has a beautiful stretch of beach and a large pool, though rooms aren't as stylish.
