A warm and intimate 5* hotel on the edge of Tamarin Bay, on an exclusive site facing Le Morne and the rocky peaks of the South-West.
On the edge of Tamarin Bay, Sands boasts an exclusive location and a superb view of the mythical Le Morne mountain from its 3 restaurants (including the adorable Pink Peppercorn right on the beach) and 91 spacious suites.

Le Sands est un resort très bien situé. De la piscine à débordement, on a une vue magnifique sur Le Morne et sur la mer. La nourriture est délicieuse et le personnel se donne beaucoup de mal et nettoie même les lunettes de soleil à la piscine.

Un hôtel si charmant... des vues magnifiques, une chambre propre et le personnel le plus amical qui soit ! Pour n'en citer que quelques-uns, Jonathan, Neel, Sandy, Camilla, Rudi, Ronny, Kevin, Yan, Akesh, Ashvin, Jude, Lio & Selvan... et tant d'autres noms à retenir ! La seule chose qui pourrait être améliorée, c'est la nourriture ! Non pas qu'elle soit mauvaise, nous l'avons appréciée, mais il n'y a qu'un soir par semaine où il y a de la nourriture mauricienne, ce qui était très bien et nous en aurions voulu plus, car c'est pour cela que nous sommes venus ici, de la nourriture mauricienne authentique et délicieuse ! Même les soirs où il y a d'autres plats, ils devraient avoir une petite sélection de plats mauriciens ! Mais encore une fois... un séjour merveilleux avec des gens merveilleux qui l'ont rendu encore plus agréable !

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié nos vacances à Sands. Nous avons apprécié le fait qu'il s'agisse d'une petite station balnéaire et nous n'avons jamais eu l'impression d'être surchargés ou bondés, ce qui nous a permis de passer des vacances extrêmement relaxantes. L'hôtel, les chambres et le terrain sont impeccablement entretenus et propres, et le fait d'être sur la plage était parfait ! Le personnel se met en quatre pour offrir un très bon service et fait honneur à l'hôtel. Le concierge et la réception étaient toujours là pour nous aider, en particulier Zainab qui nous a aidés à plusieurs reprises. Nous avons fait une visite en taxi du sud de l'île, que nous avons appréciée et qui était intéressante. Notre chambre était confortable, spacieuse et bien équipée, et le service de ménage a fait un excellent travail, à un niveau très élevé.||La nourriture était variée et savoureuse, et le menu dîner était une alternative très agréable au buffet, le tout dans un cadre magnifique. Les femmes qui s'occupent des œufs au petit déjeuner ont toujours un sourire chaleureux et Kushal du restaurant Spices s'est très bien occupé de nous. Nous avons trouvé que les prix des boissons étaient justes et similaires à ceux pratiqués à la maison (à l'exception des prix du vin ?!) et nous avons toujours été bien accueillis par Arjoon au bar. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le fait que dans le bar et les restaurants, vous pouviez choisir d'être assis là où vous aviez une vue magnifique sur la mer et les montagnes. ||Il y avait toujours des chaises longues disponibles sur la plage avec des matelas confortables et le service et les activités proposés étaient excellents. ||Nous avons eu droit à des massages au spa qui était très accommodant et les traitements étaient merveilleux ! ||Nous remercions le personnel pour son hospitalité sincère. Nous recommandons l'hôtel et nous y reviendrons.
