Beachcomber’s Sainte Anne Resort & Spa is the only hotel on the tranquil island of Sainte Anne – we believe it gives you the complete Seychelles
experience in one beautiful resort. Beachcomber chose this island with care; it is located in the protected waters of the Sainte Anne National
Marine Park where there are no motorised sports or water-skiing – the surrounding Indian Ocean waters are crystal-clear for the ultimate in
snorkelling and scuba-diving and the white sandy beaches are pristine.
Our hotel has a fantastic position (just 10 minutes off Mahé by boat) – it’s the perfect base to explore the exotic wildlife and untouched beaches
of nearby islands on fascinating day-trips, visit the markets at Victoria or try out a local restaurant on Mahé for lunch. Our first-hand knowledge of
the Seychelles is at your fingertips, so do ask for our opinions on the best coves to snorkel amongst colourful tropical fish, and where you can
glimpse rare turtles. For more on luxurious Sainte Anne Resort & Spa please turn to page 58.

For an extra charge you can book exciting deep-sea fishing trips,
go scuba-diving or hire bicycles to explore the island at your leisure.
BLISSFUL INFINITY POOL
The place to relax and feel you have arrived in Mauritius has to be the
expansive deep-blue infinity pool at Le Victoria, positioned to overlook
the equally turquoise Indian Ocean.
It’s stunning at any time of day, but sunset is unmissable – just
imagine a chilled aperitìf in your hand, drinking in the cool blue against
spectacular red-gold skies. When we chose this west coast site for Le
Victoria we knew we could guarantee our guests some of the very best
sunsets that Mauritius could offer.
YOUR CHOICE OF SUPERB DINING
Our guests at Le Victoria can opt to stay half-board or book the
freedom of all-inclusive which includes an excellent choice of dining
and much more. Please see the panel on page 43 for full details.
With three restaurants at Le Victoria there’s something to tempt
everyone – there’s even a great little mini-restaurant for children. Visit
Le Superbe for its ‘live cooking buffet’ in the evening, along with lovely
panoramic views of the lagoon, gardens and pool.
Try the romantic Italian restaurant La Casa, for the chef’s daily menu
and Italian à la carte evening dining by the beach, and watch the
twinkling lights of nearby Port Louis. But not to be missed is the
wonderful L’Horizon, which serves fresh seafood specialities in a
relaxed atmosphere.
Our delightful Fish Market here is a real holiday highlight, and some of
the tables are set on the sands, so you can dine under the stars. To
sample local ambience, drop into Le Corail Bleu for its exotic Mauritian
rum cocktails and nightly entertainment, including live music, cabaret
and infectious séga dancing.

A DELICIOUS CHOICE OF DINING
The elegant Le Navigator restaurant at Le Canonnier is housed in an
old colonial building, set apart from the main hotel. You can choose
from the chef’s daily menu or à la carte menus, but do ask for the
chef’s fish speciality at least once during your stay – it’s succulent
white tuna, rolled in rice paper, cooked Mediterranean style. As you
dine you can look out over the lush gardens to magnificent views of
the Indian Ocean. If you’re in the mood for dancing, Le Navigator
transforms into a disco at 23.00.
Le Frangipanier is the hotel’s main restaurant. It’s surrounded by
coconut palms to create a fabulous tropical ambience where you can
enjoy American-style buffet breakfast in the morning and themed
buffets every evening. As the sun goes down, this is the venue for
entertainment, whether it’s a local dance band, cabaret or traditional

For drinks or snacks during the day, wander down to Le Planteur, the

place to take it easy and while away a few hours, whilst soaking up the
peaceful Mauritian setting.

additional supplies can be purchased in Mauritius and the Seychelles if necessary although

Airlines will often allocate seats on a first come first servedbasis: we advise you to check-in as early as possible, so that if you are travelling in aparty, you are less likely to be separated. Both British Airways and Emirates offerconvenient on-line check-in services that enable you to check-in, choose your ownseat and issue your boarding pass from the comfort of your home or office. The serviceis available from 24 hours before your flight departure (72 hours if travelling withchildren on British Airways). By using Online Check-in you’ll save time spent queuingat the airport. To check-in on-line go to www.ba.com or www.emirates.com
PRE-SEATING ON AIRCRAFTClients booked in most premium classes and limited economy classes can still bepre-assigned seating (there is a charge for this on British Airways flights and this canonly be done once we have issued your tickets), however, the seating available will belimited and, once this limit is reached, airlines will only allocate seats during thecheck-in process and this cannot be overridden. Please note, however, that pre-assigned seats cannot be guaranteed and do not constitute a term of your contractwith us. All airlines operate a no smoking policy on their aircraft.
SEASONS, GROUPS AND OTHER GUESTSBoth Mauritius (May to September) and the Seychelles (January to March) have an‘off peak’ season and during this period, you will often benefit from excellent prices.The properties we feature may take this quiet period to withdraw a few facilities: forexample, a pool for cleaning or renovation, or the temporary closure of a restaurant.Occasionally, throughout the year, the hotels will accept groups which we have no
control over. During your stay, they may take over restaurants and facilities for events.It is not possible to notify you of any of these changes before you travel and wecannot accept any responsibility for any inconvenience caused.
HEALTH REQUIREMENTSNo vaccinations are required for Mauritius and the Seychelles. It is your responsibilityto comply with any health requirements such as vaccinations. These requirements dochange; therefore it is wise to consult your doctor at your earliest opportunity. Werecommend that you obtain a copy of the Department of Health leaflet ‘Advice onHealth for Travellers’ available from your ABTA travel agent or the Department ofHealth. If you have a medical condition or if you are pregnant, then you must getclearance to travel from your own doctor. Pregnant passengers are not accepted bymost airlines after 28 weeks of gestation. Chikungunya and Dengue Fever, mosquito-borne infections, have been recorded in Mauritius and the Seychelles. Instances oftourist infection are rare, however, we recommend precautions are taken to minimisemosquito bites. We recommend our clients take along and use mosquito repellent. Ifyou require further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
CURRENCY & CREDIT CARDS The £ sterling, Euro � and US $ are all widely exchanged, and most major creditcards are accepted for payment of hotel accounts. Please note, in the Seychelles yourextras accounts are required to be settled in a foreign currency such as £ sterling orUS $ or by credit card. It is not advisable to purchase Seychelles rupees before youtravel, as they are rarely required in the islands.
HOTEL CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUTCheck-in is normally 15.00 and check-out by 11.00. Some hotels will try toaccommodate early arrivals and late departures. However, in order to guarantee earlycheck-in or a day room on departure, we can reserve the accommodation at asupplement beforehand.
OVERSEAS ACCOMMODATIONEach country has its own star rating system for its hotels. We therefore do not mentionstar ratings in our brochure or website but try to describe the hotels accuratelythrough words and pictures. Star ratings promoted in any other brochure or website(including www.beachcomber-hotels.com) are therefore not our responsibility. Forexample many of our competitors describe Shandrani as 5-star, however we believethis is a subjective matter best judged by our clients. For the record, our website iswww.beachcombertours.co.uk
Accommodation and public areas in the tropics do bring with them the local wildlife.Hotel managers work studiously to minimise unwelcome wildlife. Sainte Anne forexample is a particular challenge in light of the Seychelles government’s rulesregarding environmental protection, during your stay you may observe the occasionalfurry friend! Insects, reptiles, small mammals and rodents may be a feature, but in noway does this imply that the accommodation is unhygienic. They are simply a fact oflife in these destinations.
SPORTSIt is your responsibility to satisfy yourself as to applicable insurance (if any) and locallaws, particularly for water sports, and activities are generally at your own risk. Please beaware, if you wish to take part in scuba-diving you may be required to show a doctor’scertificate to confirm medical fitness. If you are a particularly keen diver, it is always agood idea to have this certificate with you. It is also important to check children’s agesfor scuba-diving before you depart. Water sports service may vary during the yeardepending on the weather conditions and tides. Please ensure you wear appropriate attirefor all sports, particularly footwear. Please also bear in mind that any sporting equipmentyou intend to take will form part of your luggage allowance, although some airlines mayexclude sporting goods from your luggage allowance. Please ask for full details whenbooking. Motorised water sports are prohibited at Sainte Anne Resort in the Seychelles.

INFORMATION
80 BEACHCOMBER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SPECIAL REQUESTSAny special request must be advised in writing if it was not already stated on youroriginal booking form. We will make every reasonable effort to make thearrangements. We do not have any legal liability whatsoever to you in the event ofnon-compliance. We regret we cannot accept any conditional booking (i.e. anybooking that is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request).
WEDDING DATESConfirmed wedding dates may change under certain circumstances e.g. bad weatheror Mauritian law. This is extremely rare, but please be aware we cannot be heldresponsible for such change.
WEDDING PARTIESIf you are going to be travelling with a wedding party you must advise us at the timeof booking what special arrangements you require. This includes arrangements forprivate dining, the ability for the hotel to cater for guests not staying with you at thehotel and any other personal arrangements you may require. Whilst the hotel will doeverything possible to cater for your group, we regret that if we are not advised at thetime of booking the hotel may decline your requests.
LUGGAGE ALLOWANCEAs a guide, 20kg in Economy Class, 30kg in Business Class and 40kg in First Classare the allowances for international flights from the UK to the Indian Ocean. However,we recommend you confirm with the airline directly before you fly. Excess baggage ischarged at the airline’s own rates.
Please note there are strict restrictions on the size and weight of luggage allowed onhelicopter transfers. This is particularly the case in Mauritius, where baggage will betransferred by road at an additional cost, which may be payable locally. Please ask forfull details when booking.
Please note, if you are planning to get married abroad, due to carry-on baggagerestrictions, airlines cannot guarantee that you will be able to take your wedding dresson board. We recommend, therefore, that you ask the dressmaker to pack the dress ina travelling box or a hard-sided suitcase.
WEATHER & PUBLIC UTILITIESTemperatures are a guide only, and may fluctuate throughout the seasons. ‘0’ in theaverage rainfall guides represents rainfall of less than half an inch.
With worldwide weather becoming more erratic and harder to predict, we cannot beheld responsible for a disruption to your holiday due to bad weather. The weather inMauritius between June and September can be fairly changeable with some cloudcover, and it is important to note that although Mauritius is a year-round destination, itcan be chilly in the evenings and windy, with potential persistent rainfall at timesduring this period. Cyclones occur occasionally in Mauritius (usually in January andFebruary), which may result in a couple of days of heavy rain and winds, However, atthis time of year, the weather is still generally hot with prevalent sunshine. TheSeychelles experience two trade winds. The South East Trade Winds are prevalentfrom May to September when it will be drier, breezier, and slightly cooler than duringthe remainder of the year. This also means that between May and August currents arestronger, often bringing sea grass onto some of the beaches. The North West TradeWinds are prevalent from October to April. This is a much calmer breeze, whichresults in increased humidity and calmer seas. Higher rainfall occurs during this timeof year. The Seychelles experience quite a lot of rain at all times of the year, but thismostly occurs in brief showers followed again by tropical sunshine.
Wherever you travel, please ensure you take the necessary precautions to protectyourself from the harmful effects of the sun.
Public utilities, such as water and electricity, are taken for granted in Britain, but ontropical islands there may be hiccups in the supply. Internet access and speed canalso be intermittent in Mauritius and Seychelles and should not be relied upon to besimilar to UK services.
CLOTHINGAs the weather is generally warm all year round, cool lightweight clothing isrecommended. If travelling to Mauritius between June and August, it is well-worthtaking some warmer clothing with you for the evening. Most of our hotels operate anelegantly casual approach to dining in the evening, with gentlemen requested to wearlong trousers and collared shirts, and jeans are not acceptable in some restaurants.However, you do need to appreciate that some nationalities’ interpretation of ‘elegantlycasual’ may differ from the British point of view.
SAFETY FEATURES Please note, we cannot guarantee lifeguards are on duty at the swimming pools at alltimes. Some do have a sign indicating this and that swimming is at your own risk.Please be cautious, particularly with children. The depth and design of hotel poolsvary. We suggest in all cases that you familiarise yourself with each pool, particularlyprior to any diving. We also advise extra care when staying in accommodation withprivate pools. This can be very dangerous for young children, when not supervised fora split second. The government offers advice on safety on Ceefax BBC2 (page 470onwards) or on the Internet: www.fco.gov.uk When our hotels provide cots for infants,it is suggested that parents satisfy themselves with the safety features prior to use,and particular caution should be exercised with regard to room facilities.
DISABLED CUSTOMERSNo two people’s needs are the same, and we therefore ask you to let us know yourspecific requirements at the time of booking. Confirmation in writing for clarificationwill also be required. Due to the differing nature of our hotels, facilities vary, includingramps for wheelchairs, lifts, access to restaurants, access to the beach, etc. Pleasenote the hotel fact boxes on each page for details of any rooms that have beenspecifically converted for disabled customers.
