We had such a great week in Mauritius with Neilson Holidays - all the staff were fantastic and the activities were great. A special mention for the kids club that our three children aged 5, 8 and 11 h... See more

Company details
Written by the company
Neilson offers a range of award-winning overseas active holidays across seven countries, including beach clubs, ski chalets and yachts. There aren't many companies where 7 out of 10 of our guests return to relive the experience again, and again. Mind you, there aren't many holiday companies like Neilson. In part it's because we're in some of Europe's most beautiful locations - across Greece, Sardinia, Croatia and Turkey - and now Mauritius. All our activities are inclusive, likewise the delicious, locally sourced food. And in part it's because of how a Neilson holiday makes you feel. Our holidays are a unique alchemy; the enthusiasm of amazing guests and the dedication of equally amazing staff; a willingness to give it a go now and have a laugh about it later. We call it good energy and you'll feel it the moment you walk into any of our resorts.

Competent leadership from our flotilla skipper Costi, fun and coordination from Kate the mate and service with a smile from engineer Kyle.
Why give us the opposite of what we asked for?
Firstly, Neilson active holidays are a good concept (if you enjoy activities). However, we have been badly let down with unnecessarily poor service.
The resorts can be very noisy, so we request a quiet location on our latest visit to their Messini resort. Despite booking long in advance, on arrival this year we were placed in virtually the most noisy room in the resort (adjacent to the pool bar).
This level of indifference to customer requests is a definite downside.
Added to that we had a rat get into our room (not suggesting that this is standard for their holidays, but still an unpleasant experience).
Also, I am not sure about the competency of some of the waterfront staff, as we had several occasions where booms separated from masts.

Good can be done anytime of day / evening . Was bit difficult trying to book cabin for family of 4 and hotel room for 2 - ended up doing 2 seperate bookings so just hope we get to travel together . Easy to use discount code from recent trip on the booking form . Like the monthly payment option .
Amazing staff
Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful always willing to go the extra mile. Done lots of their holidays either on the beach or snow boarding and always had a great time… highly recommended
Fabulous
You have got so much just right and we are loving our time at Adakoy. Some feedback from our 16 year old daughter who has done other Neilson holidays in the past-it would be great for you to arrange perhaps a couple of teen get together during the week as she would prefer that to her parents having to introduce her to other teens.
Wouldn’t take much more man power or even suggest just something you offer during school holiday periods. Also, just a little feedback on my part due to two hour time difference the 730am classes feel too early when body clock is still on UK time. Understand it’s due to heat but the covered deck still allows for later classes.
Nikki who did yoga this am was brilliant!
Friendly staff, fresh food.
Friendly staff, a wonderful pool, great facilities, fabulous freshly-cooked breakfast omelettes and a good choice of well-run activities. Perfect for a group holiday.
Easy to book

Vounaki with Neilson
These are superb holidays in wonderful locations. We have just returned from another holiday in Vounaki and had a brilliant time playing tennis, sailing, cycling, swimming, canoeing and playing volleyball. The disco bingo was also brilliant. As usual the accommodation and meals were excellent 🤩
