Shandrani Hotel - Mauritius

On arrival in Mauritius - we found the people to be very friendly and helpful and noticed that they drive on the left side of the road. With all the sugar cane plantations, this makes Mauritius look even more lush and green.

This 5 Star property is surrounded by 3 beaches for guests to choose from. The rooms are very spacious and clean and they are all overlooking the gardens and beach area. You have the option of selecting a Superior Room, or Deluxe room or Family Apartments. The Staff at the Shandrani Hotel really make you feel at home, and the service of the hotel is outstanding.

Shandrani offers 5 different restaurants to choose from. You can just relax on the beach or at the pool whilst enjoying a nice cocktail from the Bar. I really enjoyed the Glass bottom Boats and the different types of water sports that is offered by the hotel. Believe me the water is as crystal clear and you can even see the different kind of fish species on the coral reef.

I was also privileged to visit another hotel on the Island - Long Beach HOTEL. ( A new hotel which opened in December 2010.) This hotel is situated on the Eastern Side of Mauritius and it was about an hour’s drive from The airport. – You have to get used to the Mauritius way of Driving!

Long Beach is a different kind of hotel - you get the feeling of space and calm tranquillity when you enter the hotel. All the rooms are overlooking the ocean - the friendly staff like Stefane and his assistant Beety at the hotel really give you the feeling that you are special… and they handle every client in that same way and they go the extra mile for you.

The hotel is situated on the longest beach (1 km) coast line and all the rooms overlook the ocean – that is why they called the hotel LONG BEACH. Here you also have the choice of restaurants to wine and dine in, and at night they have a lively atmosphere in the Piazza area. This hotel is even environmentally friendly and safe – no chemicals are used in the swimming pool.

This is really a dream come true.

The Spa Area is situated between the Lush Gardens were you can relax and recharge yourself.

There is entertainment for the Children to help keep them occupied, whilst you can relax and enjoy your holiday.

So my next holiday would again be in MAURITIUS….
