Solana Beach Mauritius

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

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.

Fabulous hotel, absolutely stunning location. I upgraded my room to a deluxe, which was a ground floor room, I had a small ante room with a single bed as you came in the door, which I did not use. The main room had a very large double bed, which was extremely comfortable. The Aircon was a godsend. The shower was fabulous! The patio doors open to an amazing view of the sea and I was just a few feet away from sunbeds and steps leading down to the sea. The sea is clear and was so warm it was like getting into a warm bath. I also went all inclusive, which I’m glad I did. The food was of high quality, lots of variety and they had a different theme each night. The Indian and Chinese buffets were particularly good. I ate in the à la cart restaurant once, which was very nice. All the staff are lovely, very helpful, very attentive. The lady who looked after me in my room is named Veena, and she is an absolute delight. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she always had a lovely smile for me. Merci beaucoup, Veena, tu me manques. I read that it was quite windy on the East coast, and it certainly is, but don’t let it put you off : It is a very warm wind and actually a welcome relief from the hot sun. The only slight niggle I had is that there weren’t many plug sockets in the room: One round 2 pin European socket as you come in the door and one square 3 pin UK socket a few feet from the bed. But that really is my only tiny gripe! I came here on my own for a bit of peace and quiet and to just contemplate and relax. This hotel is absolutely perfect for that. If you’re looking for an adults only hotel, this is certainly the one to choose. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, and if I ever did return, I most certainly would stay here. I booked with Tui and for 10 days have to say it was an absolute bargain. Merci beaucoup de m'avoir accueilli. Read less

Solana beach is a little hidden gem. I honestly wasn’t expecting much after reading the reviews but I was thoroughly surprised. I stayed in a prestige room. Very large, spacious room. Beautiful view of the sea right from your patio. I was on the ground floor so just walked straight out my room to the beach. My room could definitely have done with some maintenance. It is tired, but you are really in there to sleep at night. The bathroom spacious, just tired too. Could do with paint and some new tiles perhaps. A little mouldy smelling but you are right by the beach so not much to be done about that. The food to me was absolutely outstanding. I came from another well known resort before Solana and their food pales in comparison. There was a large selection at every meal and everything was tasty and fresh. I had more than enough at each mealtime and came home with the extra fat rolls to prove it!!!! The staff are fantastic. Service is very quick and efficient. They are all friendly and very willing to help. Fantastic job to all staff at Solana beach. You get 5 stars from me for your friendliness, service and attitude. To kewin at the bar, DANKIE, you are a gem. Very friendly and always a big smile. I wish I had remembered more names of staff to thank them. The beach in front is really not great. Full of rocks and difficult to walk on. I had to buy rock shoes at quite a hefty price so I could walk. But, the view of the sea in front of you is absolutely breathtaking. My friend and I would walk to the left and go swim at long beach where swimming was easy. Or we walked 15min to the right and came out at the most Beautiful beach for swimming and walking. We spent our days swimming and walking here and not so much at the hotel. We were on an all inclusive which is more than enough to choose from. I don’t drink alcohol so can’t really comment on that selection but for myself it was perfect. I had a fantastic 4 nights and 5/days at Solana beach. Read less

Beautiful hotel, rooms are spacious and very clean. Service was great, great ambiance. Friendly staff. Shower door is a must have. Out of the room straight onto the sea. We enjoyed their variety of meals especially the seafood. So much to see in Mauritius such that we never spent a full day at the hotel.
