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.

Just look at the photos! Completely like the resort snapped those last week when we stayed here! 9 days - pretty close to nirvana. The room, the view, the grounds, the amenities- all 5*. But what we take away as true memories are the professional friendly staff -10!. (Also the views & that other stuff I wrote 😎) Mauritians are friendly people. So when you combine with proper professional training - Tres magnifique! We could leave the identity of employees nameless, therefore not missing any one of the individuals who made such an impression. But what better than to be recognized by visitors when you work in the visitor industry? All departments were excellent, but here are a few we had the pleasure of interacting. Front office mgrs - Krisna & Suny are top representatives of the way things should be done @ SSR&S. Juliana reception and Amaury concierge 👍🏽 all the bellman 👍🏽 Rohan I.T. Wizard! You’ll see & interact with all the restaurant staff and see them every day, they are all outstanding & deserve recognition. Namely Nalindee and Annabelle who “break” a thousand eggs with a smile - those omelettes were delish. How could we forget Milo, the man who can’t be missed, or forgotten! Well done to all the great staff! You are all model employees & deserve a raise & a bonus! Read less

We had an exceptional stay at Sands Resorts in Flic en Flac, Mauritius. The service was outstanding — staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The resort itself is well maintained with stunning beachfront views and lush gardens. The food was a variety of delicious options that catered to every taste. The quality and presentation were consistently impressive. The Sands Resorts offers a range of activities which were included. We enjoyed snorkelling right off the beach, glass-bottom boat trips, and paddle boats — all provided at no extra cost. Overall, Sands Resorts delivered an unforgettable experience and is highly recommended for anyone visiting Mauritius! Read less

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely out of this world — we are completely blown away! This is, without a doubt, the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The location is like a dream, the food is absolutely delicious, and there are so many activities and attractions to enjoy on-site. We were especially touched by the incredibly kind and helpful staff. We would like to give a special thanks to two amazing team members: Ablishou and Abgou (I hope I got the names right). Throughout our entire stay, they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks to Ablishou, we had the chance to enjoy some of the best cocktails we've ever had — truly unforgettable! And with Abgou, we had such pleasant conversations and could always count on his advice and recommendations during our stay. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you both — and thank you to the whole hotel team. You've made this stay even more unforgettable, and we will definitely be back! Read less
