Featured Hotels near Barachois Shopping Centre, Mauritius

I took my mother on a vacation of a lifetime in May, and after several days of travel from the western US, we finally arrived at the Sands. We were picked up from the airport and the driver was very nice and got us to the hotel, and once we walked in, we were blown away. The reception area was beautiful and the views spectacular. We were shown our room and it was spacious, and clean with great views out the balcony. As we put our items away a gentleman came to give us a Covid screening. (we laughed because he was wearing a lab coat...) We relaxed by the pool, or played in the water and the staff was always making sure we had everything we needed. The food was very good, but some things were better than others. It was fun to try new dishes that are not part of the cuisine at home. On our first evening my mother wanted wine, and Rahja was very helpful and found her one. From that evening onward, he came to talk to her each meal and made her feel like the most valued visitor there. They laughed and joked a lot. He found her a few more bottles during our stay as well! He was by far her favorite staff member. Soudesh was of great assistance to us, booking off site adventures for us, and arranging transportation. He also asked the kitchen to make me some of their banana jam to take home, as I loved it so much. We used the spa as well, and my mother got the best massage, and mine was only mediocre. The beach at the Sands is also the best along that shoreline, so it's much easier to walk on than further down as it bites into your feet a bit. What made the Sands so nice is how warm and caring the staff was. They felt like family and they seemed to really care about you and really wishing you to have a great vacation. We stayed on the opposite shore after a trip to Reunion Island, and missed that, and wished we were back at the Sands. If I am able to return to Mauritius, I would definitely pick the Sands for my stay!

This property exceeded our expectations because of the wonderful services and staff. The room #2 was directly beside a small pool that offered shaded swims after a warm day. The room itself had a fridge , microwave and a bolted room safe. It was a good size room with a workspace for us as we tidied up bus for the next few months. TV with a small variety to watch and an air. conditioner. The property offered a significant and varied breakfast including a fresh juicer for orange juice. The varied menu included items such as sweet rolls, fresh breads and occasionally crepes. The crepes my husband stated you couldn’t eat just one of with hazelnut and bananas . He enjoyed his samosa and hot sauce when they were offered. As well as breaded vegetables and crispy rolls to sit beside your choice of eggs. Those were my favourite a plain omelette unfolded to add cheese and ham or chicken slices with hot sauce, fries when they were available. With a yoghurt and fruit. Plenty of tea and coffee ti wash it down with and of course cereals for the kids. Services such as a juice upon arrival to fill out you paperwork, set the tone as our hostess discussed the tours available. We used shuttles to and from Flic en Flac beach or Cascavelle Mall were perfect for our adventure . We shopped both at Jumbo Express down on the corner at the beach area, as well as the Cascavelle Mall. We were further encouraged to jump on buses to go to Port Louis and La Morne look out or further beyond to Cao Baie. While we did not feel the need to rent a car and drive about there were many people who had taken advantage of the inexpensive rentals. This atmosphere was just what we were looking for. Chill friendly and full relaxed, We loved Flic en Flac beach that seemed to go on forever and although we came to this area to dive which was very disappointing for reef and fish. We loved everything else it offered.

Breakfast is quite rich, basically there are some, the beach is not too fine, but the scenery is good, after all, the West Coast, can not compare with the East Coast, but can watch the sunset, the view of the infinity pool is good, the hotel environment is also not bad. There are 2 kilometers around the town, go there to eat a car fare 400 rupees, per capita 500-600 can eat well, it is also cheaper than the hotel. Next is the Tucao, the hotel facilities are old, it is too old, the air conditioning sounds loud, the most unacceptable is the soundproofing, our room has a sealed door, it is estimated that other room types are transformed, the night is quiet and next door says nothing I heard that the most important thing is not clear where the sound came from, because the next day we lived next to us, and the result was a snoring sound like a big man lying next to you, then suspected to be an air conditioning duct, open The air-conditioned air conditioner was covered. To be honest, the Hilton room was really disappointing. There was no advantage in comparison with other hotels in the back. Of course, the hotel behind it was more expensive, but I personally did not recommend it. Check in!

Very comfortable and pleasant stay. The staff and the service was phenomenal. Property has enough facilities to make stay conventional and occupied. I have to make a special mention as I celebrated my 60th birthday at Anelia. It's a wow moment for me seeing all the arrangement and staff caring of me. I carry wishes of all the people at Annelia. Some minor issues can be taken care else it's a memorable and comfortable stay.

I've been in many many hotels in Mauritius et even in some parts of the world and this was by far the best service I've had in a very long time. It was almost too much (it's never too much 😄), Ludovic is a great butler, he was accessible at any time and did everything to help us. Many names come to my mind although i don't remember everyone: Sunny to start, great guy, great welcoming, made us feel at home. Lakshana, the best cart driver, Zainab, the best waitress, Chef Mudassir really great guy and cooked our best meal at Haiku. Globally excellent holidays, we really felt like stars coming here. Thank you all and see you next time.

I can't recommend Pearle Beach Resort enough. The service here is by far the best I have ever experienced in a hotel and I have been lucky enough to visit lots of them. Every member of the team is friendly and welcoming and you are made to feel like part of the family. Sandy in particular made our stay special, always coming over to chat and giving us great advice on where to visit on the island. The restaurant team were all brilliant, Julietta,Julian,Ariella and everyone else (sorry I don't know all the names). Vikash and the other chefs always came out at meal times to check everything was perfect and chat to the guests. The food selection was good, there were different themed nights and always Mauritian food to try each day. There was always plenty for my boyfriend to eat who is vegetarian. We hired a car through the hotel, Luqmaan on reception was great at helping with this. I would definitely recommend this as a way of seeing the rest of the island. We love snorkelling and found that the beach the hotel is on, was for us the best on the island. You can swim very easily in the lagoon straight off the beach and see all sorts of different marine life,without needing to book a boat trip. We stayed in room 309 and it was perfect. This is one of the recently renovated rooms with a sea view. Sitting on the balcony at the end of each day and watching the sunset was my favourite thing to do. On arrival we were treated to a fruit platter and a bottle of fizz delivered to our room and a couple of welcome gifts. One night we were even invited for drinks with the management team in a 'secret' location. The housekeeping team were also brilliant. I loved that they visited the rooms on the evening to check if you needed anything even after they had already been earlier in the day. Damien from the entertainment team was great, I joined one of his aqua gym classes which was a laugh. He was quick to learn which guests were keen to join in activities and which ones preferred to observe and he didn't harass you. Patrick and the team in the bar were very friendly too. I would recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of coming to Mauritius. (Sorry I don't have any photos of the room but it was lovely) Thank you for making our holiday so memorable, Maxine and David x

The hotel has a few flaws, but if you do not pay attention to them, the rest will be fine. The location is super, everything is nearby. Sea across the road, bus stop 50 meters away. Very good for this price. If you want five stars this is not the place.

Hotel was excellent. Staff v.friendly and helpful, especially with my wife when I was in hospital having a small operation. Room was v.good and kept exceptionally clean. Brekfast were v.good. Evening dining was good but also many restaurants within walking distance if you wanted a change. Beautiful views over the sea (20m.away!) and the sunsets were great.
