Hotel- grounds are beautiful and staff are friendly, sea view room stunning.
Food- not for us , burger bar was not great and burgers (beef and chicken poor quality and cooked pink despite asking for well done, Buffett restaurant limited choose (unless u eat curry & fish) the pizza was all we ate every night.
Insects - big issues with insects, and birds in restaurant, and stray cats riddled in fleas.
Evening entertainment not really maybe a bit of dancing but mainly just a DJ, entertainment team appearance to just be walking around all day.
All saying that it was a good break away but wouldn’t visit again.

There are lots of pretty areas with sun beds in them, it’s not just all focussed around the pool, and the parasols are steady as a rock.

My favourite was the pancakes with chocolate sauce, available every morning and afternoon. The lamb burgers in the burger bar were another favourite, and my partner loved the fish curries. This is the first time we have been all inclusive and we were very happy. I like a lot of soft drinks during the day and there was plenty of juice and water available, plus a few cans in the mini bar. We also indulged in the cocktails, and the local wine was excellent.

I must mention also the staff who were just wonderful, I could not fault the customer service. I felt that they were all focussed on making sure we had a lovely holiday, and we were constantly told to ask if there was anything we needed. They arranged a couple of tours of the island for us, much cheaper than our tour operator. We also went out on the glass bottomed boat, which is free. It’s only a half hour trip, which really suits me because I get seasick easily, so we were out and back before I started to feel queasy and we saw some beautiful fish plus some rays, starfish and coral. Due to the wind we were unable to go out on the snorkelling boat trip, and they wouldn’t let us borrow masks to just go out in the bay so it’s worth taking gear with you or buying some in the town.
Flic-en-Flac beach is very appealing. It has swimming areas marked out with buoys, but there is broken coral everywhere so you need water shoes for swimming and walking on the beach.
I thoroughly enjoyed yoga on the beach. I’ve often done Pilates with some kind of soothing music in the background, but you can’t beat a session to the sound of the actual ocean. More

Please check out our other reviews to see we always leave an honest opinion.
Booked for my 50th birthday and we joined a Facebook group to ask a few... read more questions as it was our first time in Mairitius and this hotel caught our eye.
We paid £140 a night for bed breakfast and evening meal. Someone commented thst it was nice for a budget hotel . We thought £140 a night was rather a lot but we are in Mairitius!!
Anyway, check in was easy and had a lovely welcoming drink but we had to wait for around an hour for our room.
When we got to our room it was on the 3rd floor with no lift. Ordinarily this wouldn’t be an issue but just before flying I had an issue with my sight and balance affected so this caused some issues but none that couldn’t be overcome.
Room was lovely with spectacular views of the ocean. You could actually hear the waves crashing. Room was clean but housekeeping was a little lax with things like complimentary teas not being refilled etc but with a call to receptionist this was rectified immediately.
Breakfast was lovely with a huge choice of food and plenty of it including egg station, bacon, hash browns, 3 types of sausage, different breads, fruits etc.
Dinner, I’m a very fussy eater and I had no issues at all. The only thing I would comment was there wasn’t a lot of potato selection such as fries etc but I managed. Loads of curry choices , rice, rotis and hubby loved every one. Lots of different meat choices also and cooked to perfection. I do like a soup but not fish and there was lots of fish based soup. Also, last night we had food down on the beach and it blew us away. The setting was gorgeous
Pools were great although could do with a few more umbrellas. The little private beach was great and lots of umbrellas.
Staff - wow. So friendly, polite and helpful. Always speaking to you and making sure you were ok and had everything you needed. We don’t have anything to complain about here and would definitely recommend it.

The worst,most racist hotel ever. Front office,starting with the GM,Manoj,who know to tell stories instead of solving guests problems,till the front office lady manager,all are there to take salary’s only!... read more After booking delux room with sea view we got the storage room! On the last night of the stay,we had to move,because they overbooked your room. Now they give us a box room. Staff is over worked,rarely they smile. This is the treatment for Mauritian guests. Nobody from management will help you,actually they will blame the booking company,or you for their incompetence! Everybody should stay away from this hotel,until they change the whole management and front office staff. In the all inclusive package you will have to pay your cappuccino,espresso,and after 10:30pm,you have to pay any drinks you will take from the bar. And the mini bar,is just a mini empty fridge. STAY AWAY from this 4* hotel,because there is no star there whatsoever. Yet,a big thank you for the cleaning staff,start from their manager!
P.S. No sockets are working all over the hotel!

Anelia Hotel Room 325, Mauritius
I am staying in this hotel June 8-26, 2022
I found the management of the hotel needs to pay attention to the following:
... read more />
Reno needed
Baseboard incompletely installed and finished. Looks tacky.
Vanity siding, as with other areas, need a coat of varnish/paint.
Patio door latch was broken and cannot be locked.
Room walls are not tastefully finished.
House Keeping
Drape is dirty and partly off hook (this was later rectified).
Floor is tiled. It is occasionally wet and dry mopped but never vacuumed.
In fact, I do not think house keeping has a vacuum.
I think I am a very clean person, somehow, the floor in the room gets quite dirty. For the ~18 nights I stayed here (2 more nights to go) my room has only been wet mopped once.
I have so far seen in the room 4 cockroaches, a spider, two large ants and numerous small ants.
I do not know the responsibility of cleaning of the corridors falls on whom. They were seldom cleaned. There was a stray cat around and at one point during my stay, cat feces was left on the corridor floor for two days only to be cleaned when I complained to the manager.
General
Staffs are friendly and hard working. Some speak Creole more fluently than English.
Swimming pool water seems clean but does not seem well chlorinated. Pool was was not heated - feels cold to me.
Pool towels are accessible from poolside cabana but it closes early at 4:00 pm. Sunset close to 6:00 pm this time of the year.
American breakfast is adequate. Stated serving time supposedly 7:30 am to 10:00 am but food choice is not adequately stocked until realistically 8:00 am. Provided food is adequate in buffet style. However, it is unpleasant to eat with pesky birds and flies which are not too few in numbers.
This hotel has a large compound and barely adequately lit in the evening. The compound contains several buildings housing the guests. In the evening, during my early days of staying here, I found the hotel compound confusing and I did not find it easy to locate my room in the dim light. I would suggest that directions be painted on the cement pavement with the buildings clearly labelled and lit on the outside wall; eg. (Building) A, B, C..
Rooms are large, well lit, provided with kettle for making tea & coffee with powder milk and sugar. Disposable slippers are provided.
There is one each of hairdryer, TV, safe, ceiling fan and AC installed in the room.
They is a phone in the guest room. However, no pen/pencil (I lost my only pen) or writing pad is provided as is customary in a lot of other hotels.
The rooms are quite and chambermaids usually do not showed up till around 11:00 am. I am fine with that.
Each room has its own patio provided with patio furniture consisting of a table and two chairs - I find those handy especially for drying wet clothes.
Hotel security is adequate. I had to sign a paper to say that the hotel would not be responsible for lost items.
All-in-all I would rate my stay here a C+ or 3.5/5.

On our departure at 6.30am there was nobody on reception to book us out, luckily someone found him. Not a four star hotel and don't recommend. More
