The hotel

Waiting for your drinks to arrive as you laze on white sands, shaded by a coconut palm. Taking a dip in a lagoon pool among tropical plants and dining and drinking terraces. Stepping out on your balcony to soak in endless sea views before heading out for dinner. This may be the stuff of daydreams, but it’s the true island experience guests come to enjoy when staying at the adults-only Solana Beach. It does deliver a delicious cliché, but this hotel also comes with its own unique twists, like the nod to the sixties and seventies in your spacious guestroom, which is otherwise thoroughly modern. It also gives you the option to do absolutely nothing – or to pack your days with cycling, diving, snorkelling, and even complimentary glass-bottom boat trips, and your nights with island entertainment and meals in three delectable restaurants.

The island of Mauritius and the hotel are paradise. We were greeted on arrival with refreshments and a smile. Our room was on the first floor and had a wonderful view of the sea (as do all the rooms). Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who are always so happy. The main restaurant caters buffet style for all meals and there is a very good choice of food. Salads, fruits, cooked breakfasts, themed evening meals, ie Chinese, Indian, Fishermans. There is something for everyone. You can also book the a la carte restaurant a day in advance for something special (not included in all inclusive). The staff are very attentive and look after you very well. If you want to stay up a little later there is entertainment and music in the bar. Food and drink is plentiful all day long. Being on the East side of the island it was a little windy but we found our own spot to soak up the sun. Walks along the beach were beautiful and counted as our holiday exercise... although there is a gym if you are more energetic. If you want to enjoy a massage, facial or manicure this is also available. There is plenty to keep you occupied on the beach, boating, snorkling, parachute ride over the sea or just chilling with a book. The beaches in places have a lot of coral and rock so it is advisable to take beach shoes. I read this in another review and so glad I bought some. They are also great to wear in the sea which is shallow and rocky but further along the beach there are sandy areas to immerse yourself in. There are some reviews about updating rooms, and yes, they are tired in places, but certainly does not detract from the fact that they are spotless, housekeeping are available all day and keep the rooms spotless. There are so many staff to be thankful for and some will stay in our hearts forever, but all staff, without exception, did a wonderful job, attentive to guests, spotless housekeeping, wonderfully kept gardens and grounds, maintenance. The hospitality staff became like family. This is somewhere you will never want to leave, thank you to each and every one of you for making this a special vacation. xx Read less

Unfortunately the rooms and buildings are in desperate need of maintenance and a facelift. The room decor was dated and the lack of maintenance resulted in the room feeling dirty and therefore unhygienic. Had an ant problem in the room as well.

I had sweets in my handbag and the ants were everywhere, Stayed in a second floor room in block 3. Excellent location and views from bed and the balcony were incredible. Unfortunately the beach is not swimming friendly. It’s very rocky and shallow. I would suggest walking along the beach to look for better swimming beaches. Breakfast was fairly good as well. Fresh pastries and fresh fruit. Eggs cooked to your request. Limited other protein options though. Unfortunately Saturday morning there was a lot of maintenance happening around the property. Gardeners working near reception and wooden floor boards around the pool being replaced which was a bit noisy. Read less

We went for a team building session with colleagues. We spent an excellent time together. The staff were very nice and helpful. Service very good. Food was very delicious. We were provided with a room during the day which was unexpected. That was great.
