Seriously, its one of the best hotel ive ever been! People are very nice here! Hotel is super clean! I could write and write about this hotel but the most... read more funtastic thing is that when u have all inclusive formula YOU DONT HAVE TO WEAR ALL INCLUSIVE BAND!!!! They asked abt your room number and they know! And food - its soooo good that i will have to go to the gym after i back to home. The gym is also in hotel area - very clean with good equipment and air condicion.
Anelia hotel is super located - near to the little city with all you need. In the centre of island - we had a car for 2 days so everywhere was near.
Anelia hotel thank you for wonderful holidays ️ More

Our Anelia experience starts from the day we checked in on 16th Aug 23. The day was bad for us as Air Mauritius had preponed our flight to 15th without informing us. So, we had to rebook the tickets with Vistara and did not have a good sleep. We carried out some local work of buying sim card, exchanging currency and reached the hotel by 10-10.30 am.

The reception also did not have the same as it was borrowed by some customers. She somehow managed to get it charged. We used to go out early in the morning and return late, we wanted swimming pool towels, she arranged even after the closing hours. Thanks Roshni Madam – A perfect front desk lady. We were also helped by a girl with prominent bindi, forgot her name. We used to keep our laptop with her every day.
During the lunch, we got introduced to Mr Ajith who comforted us. Something we noticed about Ajith – He was always concerned about customers. He will always have a word with them. Even in hurry- he will suggest them to try some food item. In case of urgency, he will carry and help FnB people arrange the table by himself. He was hands-on man.
We were directed to room 145 as soon as we finished our lunch. Room was neat-clean. Something unusual we noticed. The toiletries were arranged in an artistic manner, placed them to create some design. This was done regularly. Even tea/coffee tray was arranged in perfect manner. We could meet room service people only once, they were courteous, smiling, quick and artistic. Thank you team
We are staying here till 22nd – almost 6 nights and seven days. Normally the menu keeps repeating after a certain number of days. This did not happen, at least till our check out. The menu was planned such way that every community be it Indian, African, European or anyone, they have some dish for them. For veg. They had an equally great menu. Sweet dishes never repeated except fruit salad. Non-veg was prepared in various ways – barbeque, grilled, curry, sauntered, shallow fry . Thanks to menu planner or chef - A very wide choice we had. The people will personally remember our choice, omlette specifications were never repeated after first order. She will remember and prepare without specific order. We preferred Indian Masala tea and very hot (Not warm) This was remembered and tea was always served hot. Thanks Menu planner and chef team.
Last and not the least, Senior members kept visiting and chatting with the customers during night too to get hands-on feedback. This was unbelievable, it showed management commitment to customers
These all-small experiences made our tour wonderful. We want to thank the team, their trainer and senior staff for the same.We wish all the team and management all the best for future.
Warm regards;
Mrudula and Devendra Dewasthal
From India.

Eating became a nightmare. We ventured up to the burger bar one lunch time having been assured from the head chef that a gluten free option was available. It was, however it took over an hour and a half for 4 out of 5 burgers to be made, and were delivered cold to the table and without fries. One of our party had waited long enough and had already left by this point. With all the burgers freezing cold, the blame was put on the fact there was a gluten free burger in the order. I wasn't sure whether to be angry at the blatant lie (gluten free burgers don't take any longer to cook and certainly not 90 minutes) or to laugh at the circus that was becoming mealtime. It was at this point the senior management stepped in and the head chef had to cook all of the gluten free meals, which was the saving grace of the restaurant. Aside from the gluten issues, there was an overwhelming amount of curry on offer every night that was so spicy I can only assume they have invented a genetically modified chilli to make them. Prepare to wait upwards of 10 minutes for basics to be replaced.
What was more baffling was everything on the room service menu, is not available to eat in the restaurant.
The breakfast service was pretty okay with a good variety on offer, but for some reason there seems to be a reluctance to offer tea and coffee. Not once was I offered coffee or tea, I had to ask for it every time. If it was that much of an issue please make it self service.
The water sport activities at the hotel look pretty good, until you have to have lived like a saint, have the whitest of teeth and be having a lucky day to use any of the pedalos, or kayaks. Some of our party did go on the glass bottom boat tour, I say some as we were told a maximum of 4 could go on it, later finding out the boat has capacity for 9. We did book to go snorkelling and dolphin watching, (at an extra cost) which I must admit was fantastic and as a bonus we did see a whale! Then we were dropped on some god forsaken deserted island for four hours and even though the hotel is on the beach, we couldn't be dropped off at the hotel beach. It had to be the flic en Flac beach a good 10 minute walk away. Was very confused and irritated by this.
One day we thought we'd venture out and go to the local nature park for some activities, we asked reception to book a taxi for us for 1:45 for 5 people. It was quickly agreed and was told it will be 1200 rupees. Seemed steep but fair enough. Until 1:45 came, and a taxi for 4 people turned up. To then be told we'd need a second taxi and it would be 1800 rupees. We asked reception to call another taxi for 5 people, i.e. a people carrier, and they said it's on it's way. They had called the same taxi company and the same two taxis turned up. By this point we were running late and had to just pay for receptions incompetence.
On the last day we had a late check out and concierge said they would come and collect the bags at 3:30 ready for our transfer. 3:30 came and went so we were left carrying the bags down the stairs. Only to be met about 100m from reception by the concierge telling us to put the bags down and he'd take them. I'm not really sure why, we'd done all the hard parts and just slowed us down at that point. I can't bemoan them too much, I did expect them to lose the bags in that 100m so I was surprised when they did reach reception.
There is a real distinct lack of professionalism and accountability at this hotel. Even down to a lack of consistency in uniform for most staff, some looked like they were on the beach, some looked like they were staff from other hotels, and some looked the part.
Amongst all this I must commend the general manager Manoj, and the head chef who did their utmost to make this trip wonderful. More

Hope you are doing well. I sent this reviewto you as an appreciation for the services from your staff. As a businessman, travelling to different places is a major part... read more of my job. With all this travelling comes stay at different hotels, and frankly speaking this is the only part which makes me dislike my job.
The hotels in which I usually stay are horrendous, and make me think that I am in a hospital! Also, the services provided are just pathetic despite the fact that they are 4 Star hotels. This is the first time when I stayed at your hotel during a business trip. To say I am impressed would be an understatement. I felt really comfortable during the stay, and your services are compliment worthy for sure. I am a man who thinks that all the good things should be appreciated so that is why I wrote this letter.
From now I am definitely staying at anelia hotel during any business trip, and would recommend my other business fellows too. Keep up the good work

The beach and cocktails weren’t great , but apart from that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend ..
Emmanuel gave excellent customer service , always asked our our day went and he always remembered which drinks we liked with our meals ..
There was some entertainment each evening which generally we enjoyed More
