Anelia Resort & Spa

Food was good especially combination of European and Indian cuisine give a lot of choice at all times. Staff were very helpful always and polite. The infinity pool was a great attraction for the kids. The indoor games room was also a good time pass when at leisure. Free water activities like glass bottom sea ride and kayaking are good fillers, if one is with kids.

The room cleaning services need improvement. We find some places the same stain as we left it a day before. No complementary drinking water bottles provided in the room, whereas bottled water is damn cheap in whole of Mauritius. The hotel provides very limited option of fruits and surprisingly local fruits like mango and litchis were not at all served during our four day stay. Whereas mango is abundantly available in whole of Mauritius, including in the resort trees itself. There is a kid club, but it is very outdated with no proper equipments.

Service was not to expected standard. Too many trainees who lacked experience worked there. They should have been guided by more experienced staff. The service at the bar was too slow. I had to wait ten minutes to get a drink though there were not many people at the bar.

Location was good. The man made rock walled swimming area in the ocean was fun and safe to explore with lots of fish and even a small moray eel. Staff were good at arranging outings.

Service at meals was mostly good but I found myself chasing coffee in the mornings. But it was very good once I got it. Eventually I learned to seat myself strategically so that I got lots of server traffic past me. No service at all pool or ocean side and the burger bar near the furthest rooms had very limited hours. Found it easier to just stock up in town and self serve when lounging near the rooms.

The staff was nice (almost all of them), the beach is private and in 1m walk on the beach you can reach flic-en-flac. you can do snorkeling everywhere and there are a lot of fishes. We have even seen mantas near the beach! The resort have a lot of trees, and beautiful birds are there during the day (and harmless cute bats and geckos during the night). The food was really good and a lot of choice.

The services offered are not exactly as listed in booking. there's no free shuttle from/to the airport, that will cost you around ~50€ per way in a taxi. Most of the services are offered by nearby town facilities, not by the hotel. The spa is really expensive, but you can find cheaper ones in the nearby town.
