Port Louis market is best early, stalls close by noon. Walk two blocks from the waterfront for local dhal puri and cheaper meals, bring cash.
Local minibuses are chaotic but cheap, flag them down, exact change helps. For longer trips, ask driver if route goes via small villages, saves money.
Loved the Creole food and friendly locals, price is touristy near resorts though. Hit markets for cheaper eats, watch out for sudden rain showers.
Crowded beaches during peak season killed the vibe for me, accommodation pricey and little nightlife. Great for snorkeling though, but not budget friendly.
Beach days are unreal, water like a postcard. Food is spicy and fresh, but island roads are narrow so rent carefully. 5-7 days felt perfect.
