WELCOME2014...

Dear Valued Customer

Welcome, once again, to Mauritius Holidays Direct. We are the award-winning and leading independent specialist

luxury tour operator for holidays to Mauritius. We are truly passionate about Mauritius, and we strive to create

the perfect Mauritius holiday for you.

We produce yearly dedicated Mauritius brochures and our range of hotels in Mauritius grows every year. 2014 is

no exception. We have once more increased our selection and now feature a sensational choice of 51 HOTELS

in Mauritius for you to choose from. We will also give you a free handy pocket-size Mauritius Guide Book which

will help you get the most out of your holiday to Mauritius.

6 Great Reasons to Book Your Holiday with Mauritius Holidays Direct:

As a direct-sell tour operator, we do not pay commission to third parties, so you

get the cheapest prices. If you book with us and find the same holiday cheaper within 48 hours we will

refund the difference.

We are fully bonded with ATOL, IATA & ABTA giving you the highest protection available

in the holiday industry for your complete peace of mind.

As a completely independent company we do not have any favourite hotels or

associates. You always get honest and impartial advice. Even better, we know all of our hotels thoroughly

so you can have confidence that you’ve chosen wisely.

Whilst on your holiday you shall never be left on your own. From the moment

you arrive to the moment you depart, should you ever need any assistance of any sort our local appointed

agents will always be at hand to help you.

We know how important it is to be looked after properly, so we’ve

taken the time to get the details right - from delivering your travel documents 21 days before you travel,

right through to when you return home.

As a privately held company - rather than being a huge faceless organisation - the

directors are actively involved in the business on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, if something crops up

and you need to speak to a director, just ask.

I hope our brochure will once again exceed your expectations, and I, and my friendly and dedicated team, look

forward to continuing to offer you an exceptional service.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In this age of rogue companies and uncertainties of course you want to book your holiday with a reputable company and rest in the knowledge that your money is fully protected. You may book your holiday with Mauritius Holidays Direct with complete assurance. We are a fully bonded tour operator with a licence granted by the Civil Aviation Authority (ATOL Protected 5744). We are also members of The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA J5618/W5490) and IATA (91275914). Therefore, should the worst-case scenario arise, you can rest assured that your holiday, or the money paid for it, is fully protected.

Airlines and hotels regularly change their prices and more often than not this is to the benefit of the consumer. In order to take full advantage of any such price reductions, and pass them on to you, your final holiday price will be confirmed to you at the time of booking, which will incorporate any increases or reductions known to us at that time. This could also mean that we offer you an airline other than the one featured. Therefore, please note that all prices shown in the brochure are to be used purely as a guide only.

Over peak holiday periods - especially Christmas, New Year and Easter - most airlines and hotels charge a supplement.

Some hotels also stipulate that an obligatory minimum number of nights must be spent at the hotel and also that certain meals and Christmas and New Year Eve’s supplements are compulsory. These details will be confirmed to you at the time of booking. Due to popular demand over these periods it is advisable to book early to avoid disappointment.

At various times throughout the year many hotels provide a range of special offers. These may include early-booking discounts, free nights (at some hotels certain meals must be paid for during the free nights), free meals (drinks not included), honeymoon reductions (wedding certificate must be presented at hotel) and no single room supplements. These offers must start and end within the stipulated dates and cannot be combined with each other.

The extra night prices shown are based on low season and are for the same room type as shown with the 7 night guide price for each hotel.

Although we probably provide the largest selection of hotels in Mauritius, no brochure can offer a choice of holidays that will cater for everyone’s personal requirements. Being specialists for holidays to Mauritius, we have built a successful

relationship with a vast number of hotels in Mauritius; therefore, we are well-equipped to create your very own individual holiday at a competitive price. If you do not see a holiday in the brochure that suits you please call our personal travel consultants and they will do their best to plan and organise your individual holiday for you.

We have selected particular hotels, which, in our opinion, are some of the finest in the world and offer something special. These hotels are recognised by the Connoisseur Collection symbol.

Our hotel gradings are based mainly on our opinion and that of our clients and not on local or international classifications. We have provided these only to give you an idea as to the type of standards to expect and they are to be used purely as a guide.

High standard of accommodation and services usually with a matching range of facilities.

Good standard of accommodation and facilities.

Comfortable accommodation with average middle-range facilities.

Above average in its category.

MAURITIUS

It’s very true that Mauritius is an absolutely fantastic holiday destination with sensational white sand beaches, gorgeous blue

lagoons, coral reefs, swaying coconut palms and a host of sophisticated and world-class luxury hotels providing the highest

standards of excellence.

But, yet, this wonderful tropical paradise, which is situated in the waters of the Indian Ocean 1,200 miles off the east coast

of Africa and the Seychelles, offers much, much more. Those who love the outdoors and nature will be enchanted by the

magnificence of the mountains, nature reserves and wildlife parks. Those who love golf will be delighted with the many stunning

championship golf courses - and what’s more, golf is mostly free when you stay at a hotel that has its own golf course. And, of

course, for romantics, Mauritius is the perfect place for a tremendous wedding or honeymoon.

Mauritius’ cultural and harmonious blend of African, Asian and European heritage add to the island’s natural beauty and charm.

The delicious cuisine of this rich heritage mix can be experienced everywhere - from the chic restaurants of the luxury hotels to

the more informal restaurants of the smaller hotels and the lively spots of the island, such as Grand Baie.

Mauritius would be perfect for weddings, honeymoons, land and water sports enthusiasts, golfers, families and the likes. Excellent

kids’ clubs, luxurious spas, big-game fishing and scuba diving all add to the attractions of this wonderful piece of paradise.

NB: At certain times, more so in the months of December and January, the island does experience heavy tropical rains and strong winds. During these periods, water sports and other activities may be restricted.

Booking Conditions

Your Financial SecurityAll the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. Our ATOL number is ATOL 5744. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate. Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it. Please see our booking conditions for further information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate and www.atol.org.uk. In the worst-case scenario, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. Holidays excluding flights are protected by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) and our ABTA numbers are J5618/W5490.

Payment For Your Holiday£150 per person or 10% of the total holiday cost, whichever is the greater, is required at the time of booking. Certain holidays require a higher deposit, or full payment, which will be advised at the time of booking. If you are booking within 10 weeks of departure, full payment is required. The balance due as shown on your invoice must be paid to us no later than 10 weeks before your departure. If you fail to pay the balance by the due date we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled and levy appropriate cancellation charges as detailed below. All cheques are to be made payable to Mauritius Holidays Direct and posted to the address

shown below.

InsuranceIt is a condition of booking with us that you purchase adequate independent insurance.

Travel DocumentsAll travel documents, including flight tickets, will be despatched 7-14 days prior to departure.

Conditions Of CarriageYour booking is subject to conditions of carriage of air, rail or sea carriers some of which may limit or exclude liability. These conditions are often the subject of international agreement between countries.

Pricing PolicyAll prices shown are in UK£ Sterling per person sharing a twin/double room and are purely for guidance only. Your final holiday price will be confirmed to you at the time of booking, which will incorporate any increases or reductions known to us at that time. However, your holiday price, thereafter, is subject to surcharges for increases in: i) transportation costs e.g. fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline surcharges which Mauritius Holidays Direct is obliged to pay or collect, ii) dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services (e.g. landing taxes and embarkation/disembarkation fees at ports and airports), iii) the exchange rates applied to the particular package and Government action such as increases in VAT or any other Government imposed increases. No price changes will be made within 30 days of departure. In the case of any small variation we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the confirmed holiday price, excluding any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person. If you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements you may cancel your holiday and receive a full refund except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to

do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Whether you cancel or not you will also be entitled, in the terms set out below in respect of ‘major changes to your holiday’, to accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements from us subject to availability and compensation if appropriate. It should be pointed out that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your holiday due to contractual and other protection in place. Please note all prices shown in the brochure are based on contracts which are in UK£ Sterling.

Minor Changes To Your HolidayIf we are obliged to make any minor change in the arrangements to your holiday we will inform you as soon

as possible.

Major Changes To Your HolidayIf before you depart we have to make any major change to your holiday arrangements, e.g. change of departure time of more than 12 hours in each direction, change of airport (but excluding changes between airports in the London region, aircraft type or airline) it will only be because we are forced to do so by circumstances usually beyond our control. In such an unlikely event we will inform you immediately and our objective will be to minimise your inconvenience. We will, wherever possible, offer you alternative arrangements as close as possible to your original choice. You will then have a choice of accepting, taking another available holiday of similar price or cancelling. Should you choose to cancel you will be reimbursed all monies paid to us. All above conditions exclude Force Majeure (see Force Majeure note).

Changing Your ArrangementsIf you wish to alter your booking in any way once we have confirmed it, we shall do what we can to satisfy your requirements. An amendment fee of £50 per person will be charged plus any appropriate additional airline/holiday costs (some airlines do not allow any name or date changes). Any alterations by you within 70 days of departure may be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and may be subject to cancellation charges as shown in the table below.

CancellationShould you or any member of your party wish to cancel your booking at any time please notify us immediately. If we have already issued a Confirmation Invoice it is essential that you indicate your intention to cancel in writing to ourselves by the person who made the booking and who is therefore responsible for the payment of the cancellation charges. We will not affect the cancellation until such written advice is received. As we will incur costs in cancelling your holiday you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges up to the maximum shown in the table below. These are calculated as a percentage of the total holiday cost and the charges are calculated from the date we receive the written notice of cancellation.

No of Days Notification Amount of cancellation Before Departure: charge (shown as a percentage of total holiday cost):

More than 70 days Deposit

36-69 days 50%

22-35 days 80%

15-21 days 90%

1-14 days 100%

Please note in some circumstances 100% cancellation will apply from the time of booking. We will provide details of this after we receive your cancellation instruction. Where the full cost of the airfare is required at the time of booking, no refund will be applicable from the time of booking. Airfares affected by this 100% cancellation policy will be collected at the time of booking or soon after as soon as airline notification is issued. In such circumstances the above cancellation charges will not apply; instead the entire booking will be subject to 100%

cancellation charges.

Force MajeureWe accept no responsibility for and shall not be liable in respect of any loss or damage or alteration, delays or changes arising from unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, such as war or threat of

control disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, adverse weather conditions, technical problems with transport, closure or congestion of airports or ports, cancellations of schedules by scheduled airlines. You can check the current position on any country by

respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However, reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in these conditions. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment from the airline will be deducted from this amount.

Personal Injury Unconnected with Arrangements Made By UsIf you, or any member of your party, suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas, arising out of an activity which does not form part of your package travel arrangements with ourselves, we shall, at our discretion, offer advice, guidance and assistance. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of any proceedings. Our consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs and/or benefits received under any relevant insurance policy to ourselves. We limit the cost of our assistance to you or any member of your party to £5,000 per booking form.

BehaviourWhen you book with us you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Proper payment of any such damage or loss must be made at the time direct to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you must indemnify us against any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us as a result of your actions. We expect all clients to have consideration of

other people. If in our opinion or in the opinion of any other person in authority you are behaving in such a way as to cause or to be likely to cause distress, danger or annoyance to any third party or damage to property, we reserve the right to terminate your arrangements without notice. In this situation responsibility towards you (including any return transport arrangements) will immediately cease and we will not be responsible for meeting any costs or expenses you may incur as a result, or making any refund or paying compensation. Mauritius Holidays Direct has no control over the behaviour of other people staying in or visiting your holiday accommodation. Your accommodation is provided solely for the use of passengers shown in the final Confirmation Invoice as confirmed by us – subletting, sharing or assignment is prohibited.

ComplaintsIf you have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant airline, hotel, local agent or other suppliers immediately so that they can endeavour to put things right. If they cannot resolve the problems, you must

Mauritius Holidays Direct will not hold themselves responsible for the non-performance of an itinerary through causes beyond their control or when they are not notified of a problem at the point when remedial action can be taken. In the unlikely event that a complaint cannot be resolved at the time, you should write to us within 4 weeks of returning home, giving your original booking reference number and all other relevant information. If you fail to take any of these steps this will hinder our ability to put any problem right and/or investigate it fully and any right you may have to receive compensation will be reduced or completely invalidated. Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be amicably settled may (if you so wish) be referred to arbitration under a special scheme which though devised by arrangement with the Association of British Travel Agents, is administered quite independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an

amount greater than £1,500 per person. There is also a limit of £7,500 per booking form. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequence of such injury or illness. A limit of £1,000 per person applies to any part of a claim for personal injury or illness. You must apply for arbitration within 9 months after your scheduled date of return. Details of the scheme will be supplied on request from the Association of British Travel Agents, 30 Park

Essential Information

Brochure AccuracyEvery care has been taken to ensure that the information in the brochure is accurate at the time of printing. Our descriptions are based on assurances from hoteliers. It must be remembered, however, that the brochure is produced some twelve months in advance and naturally changes can occur. If we are advised of any material changes by the hotel we shall do our utmost to pass these on to you as soon as we become aware of them. All map locations are approximate and are not intended to be definitive.

WeatherAll weather details shown in this brochure have been compiled from information

or relevant tourist authorities. They are to be used purely as a guide only, bearing in mind the changing weather patterns throughout the world. Obviously, we cannot accept any responsibility for the weather conditions at the time of your visit.

Holiday SeasonsThe destinations we feature in this brochure are available all year round. Some do have quieter off peak periods when you can take advantage of uncrowded beaches and more personal attention from hotel staff. At this time it may be necessary for hotels to scale down the size of some of their facilities, such as restaurants, to match demand. Similarly, during peak periods, hotels experience full

occupancy, which may result in a livelier atmosphere and slower service in busier facilities.

HotelsThe choice of hotel is crucial to your holiday. The hotels we feature have been selected for their location, their character or their value and may not, therefore, be the best in other respects. If you have any doubts at all please discuss your choice with us. The final selection is, however, entirely up to you.

Check In / Check Out TimesAll hotels operate the standard international practice with regard to check in and check out times. Check in is usually between 1400-1600 hours and check out is usually between 1000-1200 hours (please ensure you clarify the exact check out time with the hotel on arrival). This means you may have to wait some time, if you arrive early, for your room to be made up, and vacate your room perhaps hours before your departure. It may be possible to retain your room until departure on payment of an extra charge, depending on whether the room is required for arriving guests..

AccommodationEven though we feature some of the best hotels the accommodation may still be considered modest by European standards. Our use of the words superior or deluxe to describe rooms must be read in the

context of the hotel description. Single rooms or twins for sole use may vary in standard and position. We are willing to request the hotel to place an extra bed in a twin room and a reduction may be offered. It must be understood, however, that floor and drawer space may be cramped. Beds for children may not be full single size and can often be ‘rollaway’ style. When we describe a room as having sea view this means you will have some view of the sea. The room may not face the sea and the view may be at an angle. Views may also be obscured by garden foliage. Please note that although we may describe the hotel as on the seafront or overlooking the sea it does not always follow that rooms have sea view. It should be noted that you might find lizards, ants, cockroaches or other insects in your room. This is a fact of life in some hot countries and should not be seen as a sign of dirtiness.

Hotel FacilitiesOutdoor activities, beach services, water sports, land sports (including free golf at hotels’ own golf courses or other golf courses) and entertainment facilities are shown in good faith as being available but their provision may be limited or they may not be available from time to time due to weather, maintenance or other reasons. In this case, no alternative arrangements or refunds or discounts are provided. Please note that where a hotel offers free water

or other sports these may be limited and a deposit for equipment and a charge for instruction may be requested. Please also note that not all facilities and activities mentioned are available free and any charges that apply would be payable locally. We very strongly advise you to check with the hotel on arrival as to exactly what is provided free. If air-conditioning is provided, at times this may be subject to energy saving regulations. Please also note that supplies of electricity and water can be erratic. Lifts in some hotels may not have internal doors. Children should be supervised at all times by their parents when using this type of lift. Many resort hotels have open-sided restaurants which attract local bird life, particularly at breakfast time.

Meals & All Inclusive PlansIn general, you cannot expect European standards in some developing destinations. In some areas much of the food has to be imported and meals will vary depending on the style of hotel. Please remember that food is very much a matter of personal taste and preference. Many hotels adopt a buffet-style service for meals. Where we offer half or full board arrangements the meals are usually on a table d’hôte (fixed menu) basis and drinks are not included. A supplement is usually required for a la carte meals and in some cases the hotel will not allow any credit for the table d’hôte meal not taken. We advise you to check with the hotel before dining. Please note that no refund can be given for meals not taken. All Inclusive plans do not necessarily include ‘everything’. Meals are usually restricted to certain restaurants,

drinks are usually locally produced and not all activities and land and water sports are included. We very strongly advise you to check with the hotel on arrival as to exactly what is included and also between what times they are included. Also, as the restaurants get very busy, hotels require that the restaurants are pre-booked, and please note that hotels do have a strict dress code, usually for dinner, in their restaurants. For example, smart casual clothes must be worn, and sport dress, shorts, sandals, etc, are not permitted.

ServiceSome destinations have a rather relaxed attitude to service. It can be frustratingly slow, but patience and a friendly approach on your part are likely to achieve the best results.

Resort Development & Hotel RenovationsIn any resort or destination, building works must be expected and often start without prior warning. Hotels also have to be regularly maintained and refurbished and swimming pools cleaned, but the management will try to ensure minimum inconvenience to guests.

FlightsAll flights are subject to government approval and may be amended or withdrawn at any time, without Mauritius Holidays Direct incurring liability. The arrangements shown in this brochure are based on scheduled flights (it should be noted that not all airlines provide complimentary meals and drinks). All flights are based in economy class. Upgrades are available at a supplement. It may sometimes be necessary to make

stops en route for refuelling or to pick up joining passengers. Owing to security regulations it is not always possible to leave the plane during these stops. Flight durations shown in this brochure are an indication of the time spent in the air and do not include stops en route or time spent between connecting flights. It should be noted that all passengers travel under the conditions of carriage of the airline concerned as printed on their ticket. It is your responsibility to ensure that you reconfirm any onward or return flights.NB: Owing to changes in pressure it is dangerous to fly less than 48 hours after scuba diving. Excessive drinking before boarding your flight could result in you being refused permission to board the aircraft. Most airlines will refuse permission for women to fly who will be 28 or more weeks pregnant on the date of return travel. Failure to comply with airline regulations may result in cancellation and denial of boarding, and we cannot be held liable for any such occurrence.

Luggage AllowanceLuggage allowances will be shown on your air tickets. There is no allowance for infants under 2 years apart from a carrycot and/or collapsible pushchair. Excess luggage is carried at the airline’s discretion and may incur charges payable directly to the airline. Luggage allowance on light aircraft and seaplane transfers in the Maldives varies (please check with us at time of booking). It is entirely your responsibility to ensure you have the correct luggage allowance. Please contact your airline for the up-to-date luggage allowance details.

Seat AllocationAs seats on many international flights are allocated on check in, you are strongly advised to arrive early to secure the seats of your choice. Where the flight originates at another point your choice may be limited. Some airlines are willing to reserve seats in advance, and we will pass on your request. We cannot, however, guarantee that the airline will be able to meet your requirements.

SmokingAlmost all airlines have adopted a non-smoking policy and many hotels have also now started adopting a non-smoking policy in hotel rooms, and in the public areas of the hotel. If this information is important to you please check with us at the time of booking.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)Travel involving prolonged immobility can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Recent surgery, previous occurrence of DVT and a family history of DVT are among the factors that may increase your susceptibility to the condition. If you are concerned about travelling then you are strongly advised to contact your GP before you depart.

Flight DelaysDelays, unfortunately, may occur through various reasons. Where long flight delays result in lost holiday time, no refunds are given by hotels/suppliers for unused accommodation/services. Similarly, airlines do not usually offer compensation for flight delays. Consequently, Mauritius Holidays Direct is not liable for any costs incurred or loss of enjoyment as a result of any such delay. Recompense for such delays may be claimed through certain types of holiday insurance (please check your holiday insurance covers such losses).

Overseas Airport TaxesForeign departure/airport taxes vary and may be payable locally either in foreign currency (e.g. US$ etc.) or in local currency. Please ensure you have enough local and foreign funds to meet these payments. If you are travelling to more than one country on your holiday, you may be required to pay a departure tax at each point.

AlcoholRestrictions on the consumption of alcohol may be imposed with little or no notice at all by the relevant authorities.

Public & Religious HolidaysServices may be curtailed or limited during certain religious events and public holidays. Please note that such holidays and religious events may be called at very little or no notice at all.

Other Hotel Guests / Functions / EventsAt times, various events including functions, conferences, influx of groups, weddings and filming may take place at hotels. We have no control over the acceptance of bookings at the hotels other than our own. We are therefore unable to accept any responsibility for any inconvenience caused by such events, groups or their activities.

Safety & HealthWe take the security and safety of our clients very seriously, but, you are, of course, responsible for your own safety. It is tactless for visitors to make a great show of wealth, especially in developing countries. In general, your own common sense must prevail. Please remember that in some destinations the sun can be deceptively strong and those inviting crystal clear waters may conceal strong undercurrents, sharp coral or sea urchins and the like. Take every precaution and take heed of local warnings. Inoculations are entirely your responsibility - please consult your doctor or health centre. The

Unit may have issued information about your holiday destination. Please visit their website at www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.

Visas & PassportsPlease ensure you have a valid 10 year passport and that it is valid for at least 6 months after your return date. The visa information contained here is for British and Irish passport holders only and is correct at the time of going to press. Holders of other passports (including Commonwealth passports) and of British or Irish passports issued abroad should check with the appropriate consulate or embassy as to the requirements for a visa. It is entirely your responsibility to ensure that your passport and visa documentation is in order. Failure to do so may lead to denial of exit from this country or of entry overseas. Any costs which consequently arise will be payable by you. It will also be deemed that you have cancelled your holiday and no refunds will be made. At the time of going to press visas are not required for the destinations featured in this brochure (please ensure you check in advance of making your booking). Visa required for stays of over 30 days in Seychelles.

Holiday SelectionProblems can arise beyond our control. In this event please take the matter up with our local agents and/or the hotel. Most problems can be resolved in resort without spoiling your holiday. Complaining on your return will be too late. We know from experience that most holiday complaints arise as a result of choosing the wrong holiday, so please choose carefully and seek our advice. Overall, patience and understanding are invaluable.
