Hi Jason
From the Merville Hotel you will walk 10-15 minutes to the center of grand Baie.
A busstop is also in front of the hotel.
This bus is going to Port Louis or in the other direction to St.Antoine.
Going by bus is cheap and the buses are running always.
D'ont bring lokal money ( MUR ) with you.
It is better to change in M.
You can change at the airport after the arrivel or later in Grand Baie.
Possible cash money,traveller checks, or with the banque automat with sekret number.
I made a private website with informations about excursions, bus, change money,restaurants, where to shop and about a friend, he offers trips by taxi with his prices.
The page is in german, on the 1. you see a bottum for transaltion by goggle.
I f you dont understand the automatic, or if you have more questions , you can mail me direct.
