The hotel

Nestled on the beautiful beach of Flic en Flac and surrounded by landscaped tropical gardens, this relaxed resort has a welcoming Mauritian atmosphere. The outlook across the lagoon and the bay of Tamarin, with Le Morne Mountain in the distance, is impressive. Being on the west coast of Mauritius, you'll also be spoilt by amazing sunsets. The beach here is bounded by two reefs, an inner one that gives the hotel's swimming beach privacy and an outer reef where there’s a selection of complimentary water sports on offer. Enjoy the translucent, calm lagoon and keep a watch from the terrace for the dolphins that come into the bay. When it comes to dining, there's the main Tamarind Terrace restaurant, the intimate Pink Peppercorn on the beach terrace, and Spices, with its refined indoor dining room or more casual outdoor terrace. It's clear to see why this resort has a high volume of repeat guests.

What can I say that hasn't been said before, hotel is excellent, staff are the best, beach and view is perfect. We didn't have to lift a finger from when we arrived in car until we got back to Gatwick, nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely recommend, and hope to go back again sometime.

Usually i am not fond of writing reviews, But the overall stay experience with sands has forced me to write a review. The property is at an excellent location in one of the best beaches in mauritius. All rooms have a sea view. The room are very well planned and made. Most of the five star hotels also do not have this kind of rooms. Its complete value for money. I highly recommend the hotel for stay. I have never seen such a good hospitality in any hotel, During the whole stay we were treated very specially. I would like to mention one unforgettable person name here, The Head chef “Mr. Ashock”.. He is the best cook i have ever met and also the most humble person. He made sure that we get the right special food we requested every single day. He is amazing.. We cant think of any other hotel for our next visit to Mauritius. Read less

What a fantastic hotel! The rooms are lovely – really spacious and we had a sea view! The location is great. The hotel is right on the beach and there is a mini-reef there, which makes it great for swimming and snorkelling. I agree with a lot of the reviews that it’s a good idea to take some beach shoes as there is a bit of coral there. It was great to relax by the pool, but the hotel also provides loads of complimentary activities and we managed to enjoy a few of these like the walk to Tamarin bay, or a cycle to Flic en Flac, glass bottomed boat trips and loads more that we didn’t have time to experience. The food was fantastic. The breakfasts were amazing – with a choice of fruits, cereals, pastries as well as lots of cooked breakfast choices. The evening meal had a different theme every night with a lot of choice. I thought the food was really good – particularly the desserts. The last comment has to be about the staff – who were absolutely amazing. Everyone takes time to smile and say hello to you and nothing seems to be too much trouble. I’d like to say a few thank-you to the guys on the entertainments team (Aminel, Hans and Vicky) who did the tours and various activities. Also, Sid and Arjun at the bar – the cocktails were great and I enjoyed sitting by the pool at dusk listening to the frogs croaking in the fish pond. And lastly Nalindee – the lovely lady who cooked our breakfast in the morning – so smiley and friendly. We had a fantastic time. Thank you Sands! Read less
