Why book with us?

For every planned holiday destination there are a host of questions which inevitably rise up and threaten to swamp the hapless traveller in a tidal wave of uncertainty. What kind of accommodation should I book? In what region should I stay? How do I know that I’m getting a good deal? What will the weather be like? Are there mosquitoes? What kind of clothes do I need? What kind of power sockets will there be? An easy way to cope with such planning stresses is to book everything through a tour agency company, like Isla-Mauricia, rather than directly with the owner.

Why is this a good idea though? As a dedicated tour agency, we have visited each property personally before the advertisements go live online. The details are abundant and accurate, and we invest in time and energy in doing the property descriptions. For this reason, only carefully selected properties are put on our website; owner demand is always higher than we can handle and for this reason we only pick the properties which meet with certain criteria and which will reflect the demands of potential clients. This ensures that the property description and photographs tally with the direct experience of the agency, rather than relying on brochure information which may possibly be inaccurate or out of date. The commitment to visiting each property also ensures that only the offers which are deemed to be of a suitable quality are advertised on the website.

Interestingly, the fees are not necessarily always going to be higher when accommodation is booked through an agent rather than direct with the owner. Most properties have public rates which are higher than those for an agency or tour operator: this allows the operator to charge a certain commission without adversely affecting the eventual bill of the holiday maker. In addition to this, hotels will often have a tour operator room allocation which is separate from the public room allocation: a hotel that is fully booked to the public may still have rooms available through the tour operator allocation.

Communication is another great advantage when booking with us as we will answer all your enquiries promptly and have a multi-lingual team able to field communications in a variety of different languages. The large number of properties that we manage also means that we can give informed advice on the best property types to suit your individual requirements. Rather than making numerous calls to different people, it can all be done through one agent.

Financial security is guaranteed as payments are made to us as a registered company and not to an individual. In order to qualify for a licence, we have to fulfil the requirements both of the local code of commerce and of the national tourism authorities.

As a reputable tour operator Isla-Mauricia will be able to answer all your travel enquiries. Our website has a host of information on the weather, languages spoken, seasons, local flora and fauna and available activities pertinent to your holiday destination. We also have an extensive photo gallery, managed by the company owner who is a keen amateur photographer, which provides an excellent visual aid to the various sightseeing spots which Mauritius has to offer.

Rather than letting the stresses of your trip overwhelm you before your holiday has even begun, allow us to handle all of your booking enquiries and put your fears to rest. From the moment you emerge from the airport to the time you need to depart again we, the Isla-Mauricia team, will be happy to provide you with the best holiday experience and support that we can.
