What sets it apart
The rooftop is the heart of the place: an infinity pool, a restaurant and a bar lounge look out over the ocean, the landscape and the distant mountains. It is a town hotel rather than a beach hotel, built for leisure and business travellers alike, and its position at Grand Baie makes it a base for exploring the north. Accommodation runs from the 25-square-metre Superior room to the 70-square-metre Panoramic suite, which gives a 360-degree view over the ocean, the landscape and the mountains, with a freestanding bathtub and a separate dressing area.
The mood
The rooftop restaurant serves a buffet breakfast 7 am to 10 am, lunch noon to 3 pm and dinner 7 pm to 10 pm, with views of the ocean and the mountains. Manzu is the Asian teppanyaki table, cooked in front of the guest, dinner 7 pm to 10 pm; its name comes from the idea of satisfaction and sharing. The rooftop bar, open 7 am to 11 pm, serves signature cocktails above Grand Baie, and the lounge, open the same hours, serves coffee, light bites and drinks all day.

- The hotel is booked today under the name Ocean V: the same house, two names.
- Manzu serves dinner only: the rest of the day happens at the rooftop restaurant.
