such a beautiful house, you’ll feel like in a family ambiance, the room was big , clean and comfortable, the pool are nice and have a wonderful view

the property is far from the city and from the tourists place so you need to spend a lot with taxi that is so expensive, and the breakfast is not good it’s ok don’t expect like a hotel breakfast

The Villa is beautiful with a beautiful pool and view onto the sea. The staff were so lovely and friendly and I felt completely safe as a solo female traveller. The breakfast was great - chice of eggs, pancakes, waffles, fruit every morning, and I had the set dinner which was also delicious and freshly made.

I think in order to make the best of the hotel you need to have your own hire car - it is not really near any nice beaches - although you can get a bus or taxi to get around if you need to.

Friendly staff, welcoming us from the first minute. Beautiful house with direct seaview. We used them as a first stop after l anding in Mauritius and it turned out to be a good choice! Very relaxed atmosphere and nobody is rushing you. Lovely garden and some (also very relaxed) pets around. Dinners were a simple but tasty affair. The WiFi is excellent, makes this also an option for a business traveler with appointments in Port Louis, if you want some peace and quiet just 15 minutes by car from the city center. Price for accommodation and food is perfectly reasonable. Would recommend and visit again!

This guest house is a gem, but the surrounding area is not very clean, it's more of an industrial area. Once you're inside you no longer notice, though. If you've got long hair, it may be advisable to bring your own hairdryer - the one provided looks like it's from the 1950s and didn't look all that safe (I'm sure it's perfectly fine, but perception is everything 😃)

We have booked the seaside bungalow. It was absolutely marvelous. Albeit slightly higher priced than the other rooms, it was worth every penny. Throughout the entire night, we could hear the tranquil sounds of the waves as the balcony is literally 1-2 meters apart from the ocean. Such a unique experience! Other highlights include: - Awesome staff, very nice and helpful people - Amazing and versatile meals (you can request dinner as well for a fee) - Cozy environment - Ample space to park your car if applicable to you (just be careful not to park to a spot where you risk coconuts falling on your car :)) - Cute and friendly dog Overall, highly recommended.

- A bit far away from all notable beaches or attractions. Recommend to rent a car / scooter. - WiFi connectivity was not very reliable in the seaside bungalow. (it was however better in the common areas, e.g., the dinner place)

This was a perfect oasis of calm just outside of Port Louis. It was very easy to take the bus or taxi to the city. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and kind. I especially appreciated Yann and Ben, who answered all of my Port Louis questions and helped me figure out transportation. I went ahead and paid for the dinner each night and I was so glad that I did. Delicious home cooked three-course meals for a reasonable price. They were even able to accommodate my vegetarian diet. The hotel would always set separate tables for each party, but sometimes I would start chatting with the other guests and we would move our tables together. The hotel attracted a very friendly tourists from many different places. The beds were comfortable and I liked the room decorations. Port Louis empties out around 16:30 every day, which was the perfect time to come home to Villa Anakao and take a late afternoon dip in the pool before dinner. I saw some pretty spectacular sunsets from the hotel pool! I loved that the hotel had an honour system so that you could help yourself to a beer from the bar whenever you wanted one. I will definitely stay here again if I come to Port Louis!

The staff were very welcoming and friendly and their speed of response when contacted through booking.com was exceptional. The room was large and clean and the terrace was a great addition - it was lovely to sit out in the evening and have a drink. The breakfast was great (eggs, bacon, fruit, pancakes and coffee) and the pool area was very beautiful (which is where you sit for breakfast). The dinner that we had at the hotel one night was also wonderful - an excellent 3 course meal for our last night. There was good space for car parking and the dog that lived at the hotel was very cute, but not excessively friendly - he would visit for a few minutes before moving on.

Although we chose the location because it is fairly central to the island, there is not much around the hotel (shops, bars, restaurants etc.). You would certainly need a car if you were to stay here - it has good access to main roads to the north and south of the island as well as the airport. The bathrooms were a bit outdated, but the water pressure was great in the shower and everything was clean. The bed was a bit hard, but perhaps that's personal taste.

Beautiful villa and elegant Mauritian interior right on the ocean, and 20 minutes drive from city centre. Our room had a separate sitting room and bathroom with a big seafacing balcony. The staff were very attentive and helpful.

No restaurants or attractions within walking distance - unless you plan to just laze by the pool when the weather allows. (Staff will call a taxi if you need one)

The room and shower room are larger than we would normally expect and there was a large terrace outside the patio door. The hotel fronts directly onto the sea and has a pleasant pool. The breakfast is delicious as was the dinner menu. The staff are friendly and helpful with advice on trips etc.

This is not a reflection on the property but there are no bars or restaurants in the immediate vicinity. In order to find a bar or restaurant you have to travel into Port Louis. The local buses are regular and cheap, but this should be borne in mind if staying in Pointe aux Sables.

We spent two unforgettable weeks at the Anakao villa (March 2023). It was our first time at Mauritius. If you’re driving by car at night - pay attention- it is easy to miss. The location is convenient if you plan to travel a lot around the island. We used it as a base to go to locations north and south. After a long journey, we had a great welcome by the by super friendly hotel manager Ben and his dog Zuru. Ben told us all the sights we need to visit and other local advice (groceries, beaches, rhumeries etc. ) We were staying in the red room. It was big, nice and clean. We had access to a big balcony with view to the garden. The swimming pool was great and we spent a lot of time either in or around the pool. We enjoyed the view from the swimming pool every day! Although, there’s no sandy beach, there’s a carved out access to the ocean, where you can swim, kayak ( gear available) or snorkel. The hotel also provides swimming shoes to protect against steeping sharp stones. We were thinking of going out for dinner every night, but the dinner at the Villa was so delicious that we ate there every night. Especially, we liked the desserts. There I tasted the best cheesecake in my life. We actually had a true 5 star service. It was raining, so we ordered by phone from the kitchen and they brought the food under an umbrella! Somehow we really felt treated well. The Villa ambiance was very relaxing and family-oriented, all the staff was super friendly and supportive.

There's nothing to report here.

Dinner was 3 courses each night & was excellent local food! Breakfast was included & very good each morning. The staff, Patricia, Yan, Ben, cleaning crew & cooks & waitresses were so kind. Yan arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport & take us to the Villa. Patricia arranged for our same driver to take us to Casella Park before we boarded the ship in Mauritius. Yan lent us local money to ride the bus in to town Dec.28th since we only had US dollars. We loved our stay in this quiet waterfront villa. Oh, the gardener cleaned the ping pong table for us to play! Thank you!

Really there was nothing we didn't like.
