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.

First of all the people of Mauritius are just the most genuinely lovely and accomodating we have ever met, the staff at the Sands are outstanding, they can't do enough for you to ensure you are having the most amazing time. The views from the beach are breathtaking. The food is absolutely brilliant. The rooms are perfect (lots of wardrobe space and excellent bathrooms!). It's a taxi ride away from Flic en Flac which is convenient, the resort offers water sports and glass bottom boat trips which we really enjoyed and there is a small shop for anything you may have forgotten (we needed more suncream, the sun is SO HOT when it comes out from the clouds). It feels very covid secure at the Sands, we had multiple rapid tests and the staff wear masks, many of the guests did too around the buffet. There is a friendly and relaxing atmosphere here, if you're looking for a super chilled vibe this is your place. Read less

We are currently staying at Sands from 10th of October, we feel like home. Outstanding for Staff, Meals, Cleanliness and Responsiveness.

I do apologise for all staff that I did not retained the names, you all are awesome!!! Thank you for your hard work! The fact that your feedback is kindly requested after each meal, is amazing as they will mould on your preferences. Meals experience is unique, we talk about 5 stars level regarding taste, plating and quality of ailments. And this is a review for a person that traveled around the world, tried different cousins and loved to eat 😁. Everything is cocked into their own kitchen, including bread and pastries. My husband have intolerance to lactose and he does not eat any meat, except fish and sea food. His daily meals have been accommodated according with his needs, personalised daily. The chef even make him a surprise meal as he know my husband loved sea food, an amazing plate with a yummy selection of sea food and fish. We have half board, breakfast can accommodate most of the preferences, is a buffet and you will be served as your requests. At dinner you will be given a menu with choices, 3, for the starter main course and dessert. Also a soup is included in the menu. Cleanliness is spotless, the room is cleaned and tidy twice a day, the ladies even make you bed comfortable and close your curtains. Well done ladies, such care for customers needs. I would like to THANK YOU all for being responsive, caring and really determined to make our stay memorable and feel like home daily. You do a hard work, well done! Read less

We went to this beautiful hotel to spend our honeymoon in Mauritius. Our travel agency recommended the hotel and we did not get disappointed at all. The rooms are generously furnished even with a closet room. On top of that, the rooms would be cleaned at least twice a day and the room service always left some drinking water. All staff members are so friendly and would help you in any situation. We felt like king and queen because of the way they would treat us left nothing out. In addition, the food being served was just a dream. Every morning we had a rich buffet with delicious bread, various egg specialities, exotic fruits and lots more. For dinner we always had a four course menu (you could choose between different fish, meat and vegetarian dishes) which was absolutely amazing. During the day at the beach or by the pool, we were always asked for drinks or food and even got refreshing towels and snacks in between. The whole beach and pool area was always very clean and we always had a chair or table to sit at. There are possibilities to have a boat trip or different types of water sport activities right in front of the hotel. In a nutshell, this beautiful hotel surpassed all our expectations and I think we never had a vacation like that. It is definitely worth a visit! Read less

This has been been a simply wonderful and superb trip at Sand Suites Resorts & Spa. The front desk staff are so helpful and courteous. A special mention about Brenda. The housekeeping staff cleans the room multiple times a day. They are so discreet about their presence. Really appreciate their efforts. The staff at the restaurant are so warm and we had no problems with regards to food because the chef took that effort for us to cater to our vegetarian and vegan needs. Mr Jerome, Mr kushal and all of them have been so wonderful to us. The food also has been delicious with different menus. The water sports activities are varied and safe. I was scared about snorkelling but Mr Sanjay and Mr Derek gently encouraged me to try it out. An experience which was so exhilarating. The trip to see the dolphins was lovely and Mr Sanjeev took the efforts to ensure we were able to see them at a closer distance. Mr Geraldo also was helpful especially when the girls went kayaking and during the glass boat trip. Both the Mr Stephans were very informative about the water sports activities. The cycling trip with Mr Girish was lovely and he provided so much of information about the islanders and their way of life. Mr Sona was so patient and informative during our sightseeing trip and of course Mr Sanjay who took us to Cascavel. A lovely country and a trip which was very very memorable because of the fantastic stay at Sand Suites Resort and Spa - the people here who made it so special. Read less
