We spent a week in Mauritius. The first four nights were at the fabulous intercontinental resort Mauritius. We stayed for free though using 253,000 Ihg points. The cash cost would’ve been $3340.
This may have been the nicest place we’ve stayed at, with a private hot tub in the honeymoon suite, complementary snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, and more.

    What is Mauritius like you ask? Imagine Hawaii, but more beautiful, with 99.9% less tourists, better weather, and less trash.
     We spent the next three nights at an Airbnb on the south side of the island. Let’s just say it was a big step down from our previous accommodations. But, the south side,  gave us good access to hiking, which was our reason for going there.
