The importance of play in a child's development is of course well known.  Play, make- believe, the feeling of anything being possible - it all came naturally to us when we were young.  Yet now, more than ever, there's an important role for play in all our lives and whatever our age.  

As an adult, the closest we get to this feeling of total release is probably when we are on holiday and a new hotel brand - C Resorts - (sister to Constance Hotels & Resorts)   is hoping to make it that much easier for guests to reconnect with their inner child and let go of adult concerns.  

C Resorts is an exciting new concept aimed at those who want a sociable, convivial holiday and are looking for a hotel that embraces a sense of fun and creativity while at the same time offering a 4 star plus level of comfort and facilities.   The first hotel in the group is C Mauritius, set on one of the most stunning beaches on the east coast of the island and first opening on the 23 December 2019, with the official launch in March 2020.

One of the key differences that guests will notice as soon as they arrive is the interaction with the staff. Constance have ensured that they employ people who are offering something a bit different - for example they may be jugglers, actors, magicians, dancers or comedians and will be encouraged to continue being so while also carrying out the 'normal' hotel work required.   For example the waiter may start doing magic tricks in between serving the starter and main course and the pool boy may do some juggling after setting up your sunbed. Or the barman may suddenly appear the next day to challenge guests to a game of football.  It is all designed to encourage guests to let go of their day to day problems, awakening their desire to play and have fun.  

C Mauritius is promising guests a bold and surprising hotel experience in 'Nature's Playground' , combining the charms of an exceptional natural setting with a dynamic environment where everyone can try out new experiences and meet new friends.  They have designed 12 “Cignature” experiences to help guests on their way.  These include:

• 'Cwing', the chance to soar free among the trees on grown-up swings
• 'Cascade' - a giant musical shower on the beach to cool off while dancing and singing
• 'Circuit' - a fun and interactive outdoor training experience using equipment made from natural materials
• 'C Trek' group excursions where you can join with other adventure-lovers and explore the natural surroundings
• 'Club House' - friendly and fun beach activities that will take you back to your childhood
• 'Sessions by the C' - dance nights hosted by guest DJ's where you can let go of all your cares 

And at the heart of C Mauritius is the 'Cpicerie' - a bustling deli where you can savour your barista coffee and pastry at any time of the day, taking it out on to the beach or soaking up the convivial atmosphere. It encourages a feeling of community - instead of sitting in your bedroom ordering room service (there is no room service here) everyone is out and about in the resort.

C Mauritius runs on an all-inclusive basis so all your drinks and meals, including the Cpicerie, are part of your package which further enhances the easy going, fun filled experience - with absolutely nothing to worry about and no additional bills to pay!

A week's holiday at C Mauritius costs from £1649 for seven nights' all inclusive accommodation in a prestige room and including return flights and transfers.    Further details from Kuoni on 0800 540 4253 www.kuoni.co.uk.
