The hotel

Waiting for your drinks to arrive as you laze on white sands, shaded by a coconut palm. Taking a dip in a lagoon pool among tropical plants and dining and drinking terraces. Stepping out on your balcony to soak in endless sea views before heading out for dinner. This may be the stuff of daydreams, but it’s the true island experience guests come to enjoy when staying at the adults-only Solana Beach. It does deliver a delicious cliché, but this hotel also comes with its own unique twists, like the nod to the sixties and seventies in your spacious guestroom, which is otherwise thoroughly modern. It also gives you the option to do absolutely nothing – or to pack your days with cycling, diving, snorkelling, and even complimentary glass-bottom boat trips, and your nights with island entertainment and meals in three delectable restaurants.

Arrival- Check in was decent and good hotel information. General- If you are not a die hard fan of alcoholic drinks , book for a half board package or only room. You can enjoy the best food like lobster , prawns , grilled fish , seafood platter rather than basic food on the buffet or basic a la carte menu. Room- Aging however maintained. Some leakages from the ceiling however minor things will always exist. Location- Cosy Beach , great gardens , however dangerous coconut trees around pathways. Food and Drinks- Decent food on the buffet , however the best of Mauritius, lies in its seafood. A big thanks to the Chef who made our lobster 🦞 meal. The drinks menu is slim but consistently great in terms of flavors. Service in the dinning has been faultless due to the staff smile, approach, friendliness. A big salute to Mr. Yash who made a daily check on our table, during every meal period. Thank you for the Coffee cocktail. It was out of the world. Staff are the greatest asset of the property, specially: Rakesh, Rita, Manasvi, Deshita, Shane, Andy , Amal, Anu, Lalita and their leader Yash . There is some more managers whom we met, however their names are not coming, but thank you. Read less

I don’t write many reviews but I agree whole heartedly with the previous review. Solana beach could be amazing but it’s not. We refused our prestige room due to multiple issues. We were shown three more prestige rooms ( the second best in the hotel ) and none were up to standard. Mouldy damp smell, painted shower trays, worn old furniture, mould on ceilings, damaged floors, broken slats on steps to garden which is dangerous. We weee upgraded to a junior suite which we accepted. We then discovered a broken dangerous socket. This was fixed at the second attempt. A week later our aircon packed up. After being supposedly fixed it leaked water all over the floor. We had to be moved at 10pm to another room. The exterior of the hotel facing the sea is is poor condition. Flaky paint, rusty railings mouldy mattress on the day bed. The buffet is very average and uninspiring. On our third night we both went down with sever stomach trouble after eating at the buffet. This was only resolved after two days and lots of Imodium. In fairness to the management they did offer to pay for a doctor if we needed one. We did not use the pool as the timber decking was in a very poor condition with rotten areas and there was a scum line round the edge of the pool. There were plenty of minor repairs going on but it seems to be fixing issues after they arise not planned maintenance. The staff are trying their best but I feel they are let down by the owners lack of investment. Our maid Lalita is excellent and Rakesh in the restaurant definitely needs a mention. They are the reason I gave a mark of 2 and not 1. We hired a car and visited the island. Must see if Rhumerie Chamarel, Port Louis. The botanic gardens at Pamplemouse and the Sunday market in Flaq. Mauritius is a lovely place with great people. Visit the island but stay somewhere other than the Solana beach resort Read less

Lived our dreams at Solana. The property in general is a bit aging. However, the building is not going to ruin your holiday. Food- Been lovely from breakfast buffet to evening theme dinner which changes daily. The Mauritian is something not to miss. The bar offers decent drinks. We booked all inclusive and of course not all drinks would be available in our package. However, we had beers, wines, rums, Vodka, Gin, cocktails included. If you wish to preference for anything, special dinner or anything you wish for, Try addressing it to the assistant Fnb manger, Yash. He will do what it takes to meet your expectations. We had a wonderful dinner on the beach for my wife’s birthday and the moment we had, you only get it once in a lifetime. A big thanks to you! The bar and Restaurant service was impeccable. Staff will smile with you whenever and wherever they will come across. Specially, Rakesh, Aarti, Adesh, Shane, vidya. A big thanks to the wonderful team. Read less
