“Incredible!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

What a beautiful hotel! This hotel is smaller and more 'boutiquey' than many of the resort-style hotels around. The location is stunning, and the entertainment areas are situated around a massive infinity pool. We were travelling with two children (3 and 5) and we were thrilled to be told we'd been upgraded to their beachfront suite - wow! 2 bedrooms,... More

“Good value 3/4 star hotel in amazing location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW via mobile

The hotel is set in an absolutely jaw dropping location. You can gaze at the beach indefinitely during your whole holiday. Staff is friendly and the free canoes and other boat trips at the beach is a very nice addition. Don't let the other highly positive reviews in this section fool you into thinking that the Sands Resort is a... More

“Highly recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

I was in Mauritius on my own on business and stayed here as one of the hotels offered. A great location and would thoroughly recommend. Food and drink are a little pricey (as in most hotels in Mauritius) and I would recommend HB or FB. This hotel is right at the end of Flic-en-Flac so is a little isolated, however,... More

“Choose The Sands for your holiday, you will not be dissapointed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

We have just returned from spending 14 wonderful nights at the Sands Resort & Spa in Mauritius and this truly is a hotel we would recommend to anyone. The hotel is set in a wonderful location directly on the beach at Wolmar near Flic en Flac. The view you get across the bay is breath taking, especially at night as... More

“10 and a half out of 10”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2013

We recently returned from a short stay at the Sands. The hotel is as wonderful as all the other reviews suggest, and the views from the moment you look beyond reception are quite stunning. We found the staff to be superb: they could not have been more pleasant and helpful. We travelled with our 14 year old daughter and her... More

“Wonderful Holiday”

My husband and I wanted to get a way for a 10 day break. We chose Mauritius because we had been before. We searched for ages looking at hotels, and finally with the help of a travel agent decided to go to The Sands Resort and Spa. We were so happy with our choice and would recommend the hotel to...

“Perfect couples retreat and romantic walks along the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2013

The Sands Resort is situated in a quiet secluded location at the end of the beach. It's not bling and 5 star with marble everywhere, It's a small rustique style hotel with a friendly atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. The rooms at the hotel were also large, with plenty or storage and all with sea views. We loved it... More

“Lovely but not quite as special as expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2013

I feel bad saying anything but the best about this lovely hotel and its friendly staff but…. maybe we were spoilt during our week in Dubai or maybe we just expected that little bit more after the many raving TA reviews of Sands…. Anyway, the good: Rooms are large and clean and contain everything you need. The location, beach and... More

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Sands hotel for two weeks in May. Despite being in their winter, the weather was splendid for every day except one. THE BEACH. The hotel stands on the Flic en Flac beach, which was rated in a recent survey as 4th best in the world. Certainly the sand is very fine and white... More
