Shandrani Beachcomber Resort & Spa

Kids' club & childcare: Kids’ club listed: 3–11. Official page highlights Petit Club for ages 2–3 and strong family activity infrastructure; standard Beachcomber kids-club range should be verified directly for exact current program split. Official AI sheets confirm free main Kids Club ages 3–11. Petit Club for ages 2–3 is a distinct service; presence does not establish universal free infant/private babysitting. Existing ages and paid babysitting classification retained. Confirm supervision and drop-off rules.
Room service: Costs extra. Official AI sheets list room service outside the included package, with tray charge applicable. Supplier resort directory lists delivery 07:00–23:00; confirm current service/menu.
Dining reservations: Restaurant reservation rules are unverified; confirm before booking. Le Grand Port: Official AI sheets retain their listed meal/menu coverage; opening is subject to operating schedule and occupancy. The hotel may close up to three outlets daily; confirm reservations. Le Sirius: Official AI sheets retain their listed meal/menu coverage; opening is subject to operating schedule and occupancy. The hotel may close up to three outlets daily; confirm reservations. Ponte Vecchio: Official AI sheets retain their listed meal/menu coverage; opening is subject to operating schedule and occupancy. The hotel may close up to three outlets daily; confirm reservations. Teak Elephant: Supplier directory restricts the restaurant to guests from age 12; AI lists a daily family-style menu. Confirm reservations and menu availability. Le Boucanier: 2025–26 and 2026–27 official AI sheets EXCLUDE dinner here from standard AI. Serenity Plus includes ONE dinner with a lobster-based dish per person for stays of seven nights or more. Other visits and menus are not universally free. Serendipity: Current supplier directory identifies Serendipity in the adult-only Shandrani for 2 section; AI covers its daily set menu. The older healthy-dining cuisine label is not newly reverified. Not unrestricted family dining. Booking.com and Beachcomber sources identify six in-house restaurants; Beachcomber also notes dining interchangeability with other Beachcomber hotels, with supplements at five-star hotels. Le Boucanier standard-AI charge and Serenity Plus seven-night exception are preserved separately. Serendipity is an adult-section set-menu restaurant; it replaces the generic Healthy Dining venue card rather than creating a seventh restaurant. Drinks after 23:00 and premium bottles remain extra. Current and next-season sheets agree on these restrictions.
Single accommodation capacity: Largest confirmed capacity: 5 people in one accommodation. Family Apartment; Family Suite; 2-Bedroom Family Apartment Ground Floor. Adult limit unverified.
