We absolutely loved our stay at this resort. It has a beautiful setting, and is smaller in size than some of the other large resorts in the area, which lends itself to a more secluded, tranquil experience, perfect for a honeymoon couple. This is not the place for families with children - when we were researching our honeymoon, there are... more

Hi I am from India. I was in Sands for my Honeymoon in July for week. The place is really beautiful. The beauty for Mauritius is clearly visible through this hotel. The staff is courteous and humble. We had a room on the ground floor which opened to the garden and ended at the beach. The beach is very clean.... more

After very extensive research, in both terms of a worldwide honeymoon destination and a hotel, my final choice was The Sands Resort. When I researched there was not a bad word to be said by other reviewers for both Mauritius and especially the Sands Resort. This definitely helped my decision. My new wife has worked in 5 star hotels for... more

Just stayed at The Sands following an accurate research thru tripadvisor’s web. First of I must say I went to Mauritius for professional reasons, and went on my own. I mention that because obviously, at a Mauritius resort, it is not common to find businessmen on their own. First the good: The resort is nice and worth the 4 stars.... more

Our fourth time at this fabulous hotel. From the moment we arrived and were taken to our room to the day we left we had excellent service and always with a smile. The staff at this hotel certainly do all they can to make your holiday as good as can be. They all speak English and we have no problem... more

The hotel is in a perfect location,unfortunately it doesn't make up for it's major deficiencies. The rat was the biggest I'v seen and it was in the hotel's a la carte restaurant (Spices). I saw it running along a wooden beam and when I drew it to the attention of the waiters, they treated it like a joke. The next... more

Disadvantages: *) We had to remind the... more

Had a lovely break here from Ireland to Australia, but not a lot to see and do in Mauritius, and very expensive. Hotel was great although had trouble with breakfast etc, could not understand my accent. But what spoilt it for me was the theft on my gold earrings that I have had for 30 years, running late for a... more

We stayed at the Sands resort for 11 nights and 12 days on half board. It is rated a 4 star hotel and does justice to its rating. The service was excellent and the staff was friendly and very courteous. The rooms are spacious having a king size bed, sitting area and a nice balcony. The bathroom section is also... more
