In the games room there are 2 pool tables, but they are both in bad condition, with different size pool balls and all of the cues had no tips! So a little difficult to play properly. Table tennis and table football were OK to play. The gym was good and acceptable as long as it didn't get too busy. The evening entertainment was poor in my opinion. They had 'themed nights' each night and one of them was billed as 80's & 90's. But it was nothing of the kind! The dance area is basically a small area in between the front of the stage and dining tables, which are kept out all day. It felt like the same playlist on every night and after 2-3 days it was very samey and there's nothing much really to do at night outside of the hotel. The food choices were OK. But after a week if got a little boring and repetitive. There were birds spotted in the buffet and burger bar eating the fruit and food off plates on numerous occasions.

There were birds spotted in the buffet and burger bar eating the fruit and food off plates on numerous occasions. Also there are quite a lot of flies around.
Beds and apartments were comfy.
There were kids were screaming and crying around the pool, so it's not really relaxing. It seems as though there are a few pools at the resort, where actually there is only the one main pool you can lounge around.
There are stray dogs walking around the hotel grounds. They wasn't really a problem though, but every night between 3:30 and 6am I would hear dogs continuously barking non stop for around 30-45 minutes. I was over in the far blocks 251 & 252, so not too sure how loud it was for other areas?
The water was a real problem for us. Sometimes there was no hot water to shower with, sometimes just no water! I actually burnt my hand once because the water came out scolding hot. Just something to be aware of if you have young kids.
Our bath and hand towels were taken and not replaced on 4 or 5 occasions. Each time I had to call reception to ask them to bring towels as we had none in the apartment. Once it took them about 40 minutes to bring towels!
I brought both the water and towels problem to the hotel managers attention saying I was getting frustrated with it. To his credit he acted on it, but the water was still an issue after this at times.
He also replaced the mini bar in one of our rooms with a new fridge as the other one wasn't getting cold.
One thing about Anelia that was good were the staff. There were some there that always made you feel special and made time to stop and chat, always with a smile.
A few that went over and above I felt are:
Alain (main pool towel swap) - Such a nice guy. Gave us plenty of help with our visit to Port Louis amongst other tips. "Thank you for everything Alain"
Lucie (chef) - What a beautiful soul! Always smiling, always asked how we were and made the best pizzas for us!! "Thank you Lucie, your smile will be missed"
Darshan, Prajith & Gaurav (restaurant/bar) - Amazing staff members. Always made sure we were OK for drinks etc and their service was great.
The manager, Manaj was so welcoming too. Nothing was a problem for him and he was always making sure we were all OK whenever our paths crossed. Thank you.
Overall, I guess if it was in full season then it may be a little more exciting to stay at Anelia. It's not a bad hotel, it just needs a few little things taken care of. More

Unpleasant experience! Never again! Don't recommend to anyone!
We found hair in the food at 2 instances!
Flies were on food at the buffet, very unhygienic!
We were discriminated against the foreigners.
There is very limited choice of food for both vegetarian and non vegetarian!!
Vegetarian peeps, let them know beforehand so that you can at least have 2 varieties
But this lady Loshny spoiled my all trip
we were sold the dream and paid for a 4 star that isn't even worth a 2 star hotel! We will never go back and I advise people not to go. More

Pool area ok & staff in pool bar good, pool towel guy really pleasant, however sun loungers were never cleaned & were covered in grime. Food ok at times; too many flies!!

The room opened directly onto the infinity pool and had the beach just in front of it. The food was buffet system but was good still has space for improvement in terms of quality.

Once again, A big thanks for Mr. Ackson and Mr. Ruben you guys made our stay special.
Dear management- Your Restaurant, bar and housekeeping team is little lazy and arrogant pls look into it.
Highly recommended for stay.
Especially for those on their honeymoon this resort is a must visit place.

Shout out to Loshny for assisting all the way through to ensure everything was okay for us even at every moment of our meal. We are food lovers and dessert lovers and I would say that the food is marvellous, well decorated and well served. The most happiest moments and unforgettable moments were during our dinners by the beach with such beautiful ambiance, music, dance, environment of food, friendly staffs. Another most remarkable thing was the desserts. Wow! Super cute setup with amazing combinations of colours and designs on the desserts. Go get these varieties of desserts and you will not be disappointed. Special salute to Chef Noor and his assistant Chef Hiresh who were so friendly and attentive to our needs as we as a family are known to have a sweet tooth when it comes to desserts. If you want authentic desserts then Anelia resort is the one to shout out for during your stay. I would say its a slice of heaven. Anelia resort is place to come back for countless times.

Location was fine although when walking into Flic en Flac it was very noisy and busy, not an awful lot there. During our 2 week stay the daytime was quiet... read more at the hotel which was lovely. The room was large and plenty of tea and coffee in the room. The shower did leak out into the bedroom but no biggy as our cleaner gave us another towel to put across the door. We stayed in a premium room looking out to sea, beautiful view. The tiles on our patio area had several cracked tiles. The food was only hot if you got it from the griddle or cooked noodles, there was a great choice of different cuisines but would have been so much nicer if it was hot. A fabulous gala meal on Christmas Eve on the beach had a lot of effort put into it. Still only tepid food though. The pool by the dining area was very dirty ( not the water) The whole place needs refurbishing and bring it up to standard of a 4* which it is rated at. I would say more 2/3* at the moment. The first night we went to eat ( family of 4) we could not find a table to accommodate 4 people, lots of tables for 2 were vacant. We were told we couldn’t put 2 tables together and we should go earlier, not the solution we would expect, after speaking to the dining manager we got tables put together. Next day we spoke with the general manager and asked why it was a problem to put tables together, he said there shouldn’t be a problem. We had evening entertainment which was loud but to make it much worse they had private functions on the beach with extremely loud music competing with the hotel entertainment. This going on while trying to have an evening meal. We did complain that it was far to loud, it actually reverberated on the patio to our rooms. Nothing was ever done about the volume, even though we complained to the general manager, the only positive was it stopped at 11 pm. I will say the staff in general were lovely. 😊 I could write lots more but I feel this is enough to be going on with.

Reception is the most unorganised for any hotel we have ever stayed at.

Rang to ask us to come to reception to get our departure collection info, when we got down the guy on reception said no you must come on the morning of your departure. Christmas Eve was so disorganised, we weren’t told dinner was being served on the beach and that the time had been altered too.

I can’t believe how many staff didn’t speak any English at all.
Many of the staff looked like they didn’t want to be there.
One positive for the hotel was very chilled around the pool, always sun-beds available

We loved the peacefulness of the resort and no matter if we lay by the beach or by the pool it was quiet and calm. The hotel and grounds are kept extremely keen and there are great housekeeping staff. Really good cocktails on the all inclusive menu and even the house wine was of a high standard too. The staff at the hotel certainly made our holiday. Lucie one of the chefs stood out to us as well as Manoj the manager and Ashwini in the spa. That was also a wonderful experience and a must if you like to treat yourself to a massage while on holiday. We went on two day trips organised through Mani tours at the hotel, one to watch and swim with the dolphins, followed by lunch on a desert island and the second, a tour of the south of the island. Mauritius is truly a beautiful island with lots of stunning areas and attractions to see and experience. Overall our best holiday to date and this hotel is 10 out of 10. More
