bear in mind, Mauritius has a lot of poverty and if you are generally affected by these kind of sights while on a 5* holiday then best avoid it.
So does Oman and even UAE for that matter.

To the OP, I stayed in IC MCT (the original, not the Al Bustan) on business for 2 months and it was fine with a fantastic deep lap pool. Trader Vics was very good. Lots of army and navy in the Al Ghazal (the pub) on Wed / Thurs night.

It is worth paying for a seaview room as the mountain and city view rooms actually have a very disappointing view. Also get a Club room or room on the sixth floor as these rooms are much larger than the rooms on the lower floors.
