Shandrani Beachcomber Resort & Spa

This is the second time we've stayed at Shandrani and we don't normally go back to the same place. There are likely to be further visits in the future as well. What do we love about Shandrani, in short everything, for more detail read on! We are a family with 2 sons who were aged 15 and 17 when we visited, and the hotel was fabulous for them. I will never forget their faces the on our first stay. They looked through the lobby to the pool and sea and their mouths dropped open in shock. It is a moment that will always stay with me. The boys could safely explore, play tennis and table tennis, participate in water sports and drink copious amounts of chocolate milkshakes (trust me the blender broke whilst we were there and I swear it couldn't cope with the rate they draw them). The water sports are included and there are so many things to try. I snorkelled for several hours every day. I saw lion fish, flute fish, eels, incredibly colourful fish, fantastic shells and corals and it was the most relaxed I have felt in a long time. On our last day I snorkelled for around 10 minutes with a turtle which no one else had spotted. I was like a child at Christmas, what an incredible experience. We also used the pedaloes, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, my husband and children learnt to windsurf, glass bottom boat, snorkelling trip etc. The food is absolutely wonderful. The buffet has plenty of choice, there was only one night when there was little left, however we were much later that night. The a la carte restaurants were wonderful, we tried every one of them. We had dinner at the Italian on my birthday and the staff came out with a lovely chocolate birthday cake. I tended to be on the beach between 9 and 10 am and was one of the first there so no fight for sunbeds. We are generally more of a pool family, but the surroundings and beach at Shandrani are so beautiful that we were converted. I loved being on the beach or the balcony of our room and watching the bats, particularly around 4pm onwards. The new beach hut for drinks and towels is a nice touch, it wasn't there last time we were. The staff are incredible, particularly Ashven who checked in with us regularly whilst we lazed around the pool, he never seemed to stop smiling. I loved him surprising me with drinks when I asked him to choose for me. I was beyond shocked when he remembered all of us from our last visit 2 years previous to this one. He is an absolute credit to Shadrani. Our room was lovely with a fabulous view (like all Shadrani rooms). The area is safe and I was able to run on the local roads without feeling scared. The gym is small but has everything you need. If you want to play tennis take some tennis balls with you so you don't have to pay. I'd also take beach shoes to swim in. On the negative side, no holiday will ever live up to Shandrani for us and we can't wait to go back but given the eldest is 18 very soon it will be a lot more expensive for us!

We had our wedding here last week and the day was beyond perfect! Exceeded all our expectations! Laura the wedding planner is phenomenal and nothing is too much trouble! Hair, makeup, flowers, photographer, beautiful beach set up for the ceremony & reception on the wild beach, bbq, DJ..it was all just fabulous. She was always on hand with arrangements with our 19 guests too!

Absolutely fantastic resort with nothing but positive things to say about it. From the moment we arrived the staff were consistently friendly, helpful and always smiling. The food at the buffet and the restaurants was outstanding in terms of quality and choice. Our kids aged 14 and 12 enjoyed snorkelling in the bay and the water sports that were available throughout the day. The snorkelling at Blue Bay was outstanding and the pools were warm and generally pretty quiet. Our room was spacious and impeccably clean with Barlan and the other staff working diligently to ensure everything was kept clean at all times. An absolutely first class resort with fantastic facilities. Thank you so much to all the staff who made our stay so special.

Best hotel I ever visited in Mauritius.The check in was easy and we got a beautiful room with sea view. The service was excellent and all the staff very friendly. You get snacks like chips and crispy chicken all day and there is a long list of drinks included in the all inclusive package. You get a lot of water activities and even the motorised one are available with no supplement. The food and dessert are delicious as well.

What an awesome experience and stay at Sandrani. The staff are so friendly and efficient. During our week's stay we explored the different cuisines at the various restaurants, every moment enjoyed to the fullest. Our room boy Seevaum was super efficient and made our room stay pleasant. Every day our needs were met and he made sure we were well looked after. Thank you Seevaum, you are an asset to this resort. Keep it up! Checking out with a full heart ❤️ Love and Regards Mr&Mrs Weber
