We are a group of families and book from Deal.mu which we book 5 room for 4 nights and was a horrible experience in this hotel. Very rude staff... read more , unprofessional, lack of communication, no customer service , RACIST FOR MAURITIAN ,No service in restaurant and bar ,start from the GM TO CLEANER
Even get rob after check out from the safe. Before making booking from Deal.mu very clearly we ask for Seaview room which we ended with a stupid back room just because we are MAURITIAN and always blame to Deal.mu
incredible !!!!!! Been to lots of 4 and 5 star hotel but never this experience after paying
RS 180,000 . They ruin our holidays
SPECIAL MESSAGE TO THE OWNER OF THIS ANELIA HOTEL!!!!!!
close your hotel because you dont know how to run this hotel or better work with tourist dont advertise for Mauritian people.
never ever going back and also will spread to all the people

Food: All meals were buffet style so you could help yourself. We found there was plenty of choice for everyone and it was delicious. At lunch time you could eat at the burger bar which we did a few times. Here you order from a menu and the food is brought to your table. Gilbert in the main restaurant was especially helpful - my husband likes cold milk in his tea and he kindly gave him some.
Amenities etc: There was a good size swimming pool and also a rock pool with a swimming pool type ladder. As others have said you do need swim shoes for this, take a mask and snorkel - the fish and coral are amazing.
We used the gym twice, it wasn’t too bad for a hotel gym although a few of the machines were broken .
If you like to read, there is a bookcase in the room next to reception where you can swap books.
A highlight of our trip was going on the boat with Jeremy (from the boathouse next to the hotel) to see the Dolphins in their natural habitat. We were able to snorkel from the boat and see them swimming past.
Most evenings there was music and a few nights there was a Sega dance show.
Anelia Resort is at the end of Flic en Flac beach - it’s a lovely walk along the beach and you can also walk via the road where there are a few shops. If you like shopping you can catch the bus to Cascavalle shopping centre which isn’t far and only costs about 30rs each way.
We hired a car for a few days so that we could explore other parts of the island. If you are visiting from UK it’s the same as driving at home as they drive on the left.
On the day of our departure we had to check out by 11am but were not being picked up until 6pm. We were able to use the hotel’s facilities until we left and a room was provided about an hour before we were picked up so that we could have a shower before leaving. Abhijeet came to say goodbye and wished us a safe journey home. We very much enjoyed our stay at this hotel. More

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. It was pretty windy while we were there and the parasols were steady as a rock. The food was amazing, lots of choices, very flavoursome curries, excellent range of salads, plus meat and fish on the grill. 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. We had a lovely candlelit meal for two on the beach, well not quite candlelit because there was a breeze and the candle didn’t stand a chance, but a lovely salad, seafood platter and a heart shaped cake in a beautiful romantic setting.

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

When I asked for a washed cup, she did it again. I then asked if I can have a cup that someone didn't just drink from, at which point the manager or someone came over and gave me a clean cup. I was absolutely baffled by the whole scenario.
The quality of the food was low. The only good food were the indian dishes (note that I'm not Indian nor have been there so no idea how authentic it was) as they tasted very good and were somewhat spicy. Also the fried eggs at breakfast were good. Everything else was kind of awful.
The bar staff had zero training whatsoever. They didn't know how to make most of the cocktails so they googled them there and then or improvised. None of them were even close to what they're supposed to be. Also, when asking for dry wine, the bartender kept giving me very sweet ones. They had no idea what they were serving.
So while the room, the view and the pool were nice, I really cannot recommend the hotel. The staff are not professionally trained at all. More

From start to finish the staff here were exceptional. They all were so helpful and friendly especially Martial one of the waiters. Food was good but the burger bar at... read more lunch time was defo the best for us, the club sandwich was fantastic! We had a private dinner on the beach one night and the food was amazing! There is lots of activities to do if you wish but we just wanted to relax. We had a sea view room which for me was a real bonus and defo worth paying extra for. We had a couples full body massage and facials too at the garden spa on site. The girls were fantastic although I did get burnt with boiling water to the side of my face by a machine they were using to steam my face. Obviously the machine was faulty and to be fair I’m not sure the girls knew the extent of my burn but it did scab up and turn brown ☹️ If I had to look for a complaint it would be that at the bar the French speaking people all got served first even though I had been standing there before them and sometimes for 5/10 mins at a time. I would totally recommend this hotel. More

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.

Rooms are specious, they include a safe, hairdryer and a replenished mini bar for all inclusive. Our... read more room was on the 1st floor of the new buildings. We had a partial view of the ocean, but we did not spend much time in the room.
The hotel itself is a bit outdated, but more than comfortable for us. It has 2 pools, a bar and a beach bar.
The beach is mainly rocky but there is a sandy bit. There is loads of sun loungers and umbrellas by the water and the pools.
Wi-Fi is fast in the rooms and the bar, but less so on the beach.
We used the spa, which is reasonably priced and the massage very relaxing.
All inclusive is not ALL inclusive but there is a decent list of available drinks.
Food is absolutely delicious. It is mainly curry, but not all, and the variety changes every day. Every day was a feast. We also enjoyed one dinner on the beach.
Staff - I have never met such smiley, polite, humble and helpful members of staff. They are genuinely there to help you and make your stay enjoyable and comfortable.
Right by, there is the longest beach on the island, 8km of sand. There is also sightseeing to do - a safari, the largest waterfall in Mauritius and colourful sand to name a few.
We highly recommend this hotel!
