I enjoyed my stay. I was upgraded to a two bedroom accommodation on the 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking the pool. They can provide dinner at a reasonable price, which is good because there are no restaurants nearby. They were helpful in arranging a taxi for me into town and to my cruise ship.

Great Place to Stay
We had a wonderful day at the Villa Anakao. The location is right on the water and you get great views of ships passing the island. The pool is lovely and the service is excellent. We had an excellent breakfast and dinner there. Clean and comfortable, I recommend it highly.

Staff are fantastic - generous, kind, polite and helpful. Food is great. Property is small, which adds to the personal feel.
It’s a little isolated, so you’ll need to be prepared to use buses, taxis, car rental to visit places, but the staff will help you find your way.

Old but comfortable hotel with very friendly staff. When I was there they had a cook problem but I was able to have dinner because there wasn't much around.

Lovely grounds around the pool and a comfortable room.
Lights left on over night meant an eye mask was needed to sleep well as curtains did not block out light.
Staff friendly
Food OK but a bit disorganised. Perhaps an English to French mis translation?
Good location if you have a car
No access to beach from hotel.
Good pizza restaurant 15 min walk away

Very nice, true Mauritius experience. Lovely suite overlooking the pool and ocean. Meals prepared onsite. Breakfast included. For dinners, the menu is posted and you sign up for your choice of appetizer, main and dessert. Lovely quiet place with friendly helpful staff. Lush gardens, plenty of shaded seating, and colorful birds. I'd definitely recommend especially if you prefer a friendly authentic stay rather than a glitzy resort.

We had a lovely suite with roof terrace and fantastic sea view . Huge beds, AC great bathroom .
Staff were all lovely and you didn’t feel any sort of resentment from anyone which can be the case sometimes.
Breakfast was great everyday and their limited dinner option was something that we tried a few times because the chefs really were very good at their jobs .
The building is a lovely old hotel but needs a little bit of attention as it is starting to get a little bit scruffy . That being said , it was very comfortable and we definitely were very happy with our stay there and would re-book with them

Beautiful view, just as presented in listing ad. The room was spacious and nicely designed, loved the terrace space. If you're driving there be sure to have google maps available, roads off the main motorway are not clearly signed, I arrived in the dark to make it a bit more of a challenge. Once found then no probs.
