5 goods reasons for not choosing Mauritius

@Julie

Hi ,

been living here for two years and a half at baie du cap Anbalaba ..

we still have no water and no electricity !!!

we are in 2026 !! Come on I mean …

I don’t understand, what s going on here ..

besides there is a serious problem of healthcare also because prosper here have no experience !!!

very disappointed..

Hello.

I am sorry to see you have no water or electricity! That is strange.

Did you purchase a property or are you renting? If you purchased a property, take this up with the vendor/developer. In any case you should not have moved into your property if there was no water or electricity.

I am sure you did find out as much information regarding healthcare in Mauritius before you moved there. Do you mean that the doctors in Mauritius do not have any experience?


Best wishes.

Why don't you have water?

Why don't you have electricity?

What do you mean by prospers not having experience?

Hello kripi,


Welcome to Expat.com 😊


I am sorry to read that this has been your experience so far.


I have to admit, I am a little surprised to hear that you still don't have water and electricity after two and a half years. Are you referring to not being connected to the utilities at all, or do you mean the frequent water and power cuts?


If you could clarify a bit, it would help members better understand your situation and perhaps share advice or similar experiences.


Looking forward to hearing more.

Hello there,


When I begin to build my house 4yr+ ago, it took really long time (more than a year) to get water and power connection. Water suspension and power cut is often but still be able to find solutions. If you own the place, then I suggest you to get a bigger water tank or one more tank as spare. As for power cut, solar panels could be your best friend. I'm afraid living on this island needs a lot of investment than you planned. However, if you rent the place, then you may need to consider to move.


Cheers,

Pandora
