Help! We are looking at buying a holiday home in Mauritius and we're looking at a property in this new development (http://www.emeraldheightsmauritius.com ).

We have searched the internet and read as much as we can on Mauritius but everything we read obviously only promotes the island. We're looking for people who have personal experiences of buying property in Mauritius and insider knowledge of the island.

We'd like to know things like the current political situation (is it stable?) and is it as easy for foreigners to buy as stated on the Emerald Heights website?

PS. Government officials need not respond.

Thank you in advance for your help.
