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.

The setting is amazing! On the beach with crystal clear water. The staff are so nice and can’t do enough for you. We stayed in the junior suite as it was our honeymoon. Here are our thoughts: Pros Only 1 hr away from the airport 2 hrs from either end of the island Small couples hotel so lots of staff to guest Room was big and clean Water activities are included so you can do stuff during the day Food was fantastic Pool was nice Beach was amazing Wi-Fi unbelievable Cons Room had seen better days (broken tap and plug, mould on the shower and ants) You think it is all inclusive but you have two other restaurants and you have to pay for 1 completely or a fee for the other Not every drink was included and the rum bar not at all and is about £6 a drink Steam room and sauna is only free if you pay for a treatment at the spa The honeymoon meal on the beach which is included has a set up free of 2,500 rupee (£50ish) so not included Lack of evening entertainment the odd day they had a show but for the most part it was a dj playing really old music that no one danced too Overall I would go there again if they changed the all inclusive and entertainment as the setting was amazing.
