Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita

We have been fortunate to stay at many 5* resorts around the world and have been critical of many that do not live up to expectations. However, not the case here as the two weeks were truly delightful. The ocean fronted villa provided such a remarkable vista that it was difficult to leave, just lying on the most comfortable day beds looking over the water was pure heaven. Beautifully comfortable beds, brilliant showers and fully appointed room was enhanced by regular gifts every couple of days of cakes, fruit etc. Breakfast was always perfect but as we only eat twice per day, it brings us to our only criticism, which is the evening restaurants. Fine dining yes, but very limited menus which for a two-week stay means you would not want to go more than twice to any of them. One Mauritian buffet night was laid on which was truly a gastronomic feast but sadly, then cancelled as the season wound down. Management really should consider providing a more casual evening dining option, particularly to provide some authentic Mauritian cuisine and lighter eating options. We did try the lunch option at Chaloupe on our day of departure, which was absolutely fantastic. Just a pity it is not available in the evenings. Not a criticism that detracts form the otherwise truly delightful resort and the staff were universally wonderful, particularly Prianka, Victoria and Kishore.

Deserves 10 stars. What you imagine for a luxury 5 star holiday. We stayed at another 5 star hotel in Mauritius for 3 weeks and booked this for 1 night to get away from it. The difference was night and day. Everything from the moment you arrive is wow, the welcome drinks, the lobby, the welcoming staff. Nothing was too much for them and we loved each and every staff member we encountered, all personable and warm. You can tell the guests were happy and taken care of and enjoying their holiday as they should be. The room was amazing, Private villa with beach access, outdoor shower, dipytique bath products, baby toiletries. The bed was absolute heaven, comfier than my bed at home or any other hotel ive stayed in and i fell asleep for the first time in 2 seconds. Food and drinks unbelievable. Loved the breakfast buffet. I also really favour a large resort with a buggy and bikes to get around. So cute how they are outside your room at check in and they even bought my son whatever colour helmet he wanted. He had just learned to ride his bike at home and was thrilled. Fun vibes with light music at the pool- pool floats, beach view. Just amazing. Loved the boat over to the private island too. Would return in a heartbeat and I almost cried when we had to check out. Honestly had the best time in 2 full days here than 2.5 weeks at other hotels in Mauritius! Excited to try other Four seasons around the world but this has got to be one of the best!

The facilities were amazing, and ile aux cerfs was a great beach. Service was amazing especially Warren and Florian by the beachfront.

It was our 3rd visit to the hotel, last time was just before the renovation, we stayed 2 weeks, golfing almost every day. Apart from 3 little (what I would consider nitpicking) issues at restaurants, we have experienced the service and luxury we expected. All the staff is professional and always ready to help or propose service, with a smile, everybody knew our name and was very attentive, it was good to be feeling welcome. Big thanks to all the staff from front desk, drivers, service at restaurant, beach, up to the management, great staff. Room was garden pool villa and was very good, serviced and cleaned as expected. It was a surprise to have a birthday cake in the room at arrival, very nice initiative from the hotel, and very much appreciated. Beach, the one on the Ile aux Cerfs that you can reach by boat is beautiful. The beach in front of the hotel is not natural and not as beautiful but we liked to stay there after golf, after a while the beach staff had registered where we usually seat and we found our preferred place ready when we arrived, that's service, and we did not ask for this, that's why I like Four season, these little nice surprises. Golf, this time it was perfect, our last stay was in high golf season and I did have complains, (see my others reviews), but this time it was kind of low season and we did not experienced any issue, on top we were able to play as couples alone, starter was very nice to offer this when possible at Anahita, we played a few times also at Ile aux Cerfs and that's a lovely golf as always. Food, we where a bit disappointed that buffet for dinner was only for the Tuesday special Mauritian night. All restaurants were very good but with small menu so you quickly get around the menu. The 3 issues I mentioned earlier : 1 - The Awase asian restaurant, the food is excellent but the portions are small, we went away still a little hungry for the 2 times we went. 2 - Angara Indian restaurant, my other half has chosen the "Luxurious Vegan Tiffin" which listed a masala dosa, and it was missing, that was one of the 4 elements, so only 3 where presents, and not in quantity, when we complained the chef came to the table to excuse himself, the masala dosa was not present because he did not have the correct ingredient (they should have mentioned that at order and directly then propose a replacement). But he made amend by proposing some other vegetarian curry, that he made rapidly, they were absolutely fantastic, pity they don't have these a la carte. 3 - Radici Italian restaurant, the dessert "la nostra torta" mentioned puff pastry, but it came as sponge pastry, my other half would not have ordered if it was not puff pastry. it was good but not what was sold on the menu. We mentioned that to the server, no idea it that made up the chain. To us best restaurant was ti-Pwason on the beach, no fault, and of course the Tuesday dinner buffed which offer many Mauritian curry and food that was super delicious. Overall, great great vacation and if finance allow (yes four season is not specially cheap) we will be back at some point in the future.

Loved everything, one of the if not the most stunning and breathtaking resorts i’ve ever been to specially thanks to Maria for her great help and attention to us i will definitely come back because of her
