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.

Nice, friendly staff.- Super helpfull. Relaxed environment.

In general our stay was really nice. Anyhow, the dinner was not quite satisfying and the laundry is overpriced, toilet smelled bad

Great staff and beautiful property:)

Nice boutique property, big rooms and helpful staff.

very helpful and amenable staff

Friendly staff, cleanness and quiet environment.

Personnel adorable, ambiance intimiste, services variés

Wonderful hospitality. I was suffering from digestive upset (contracted earlier in my trip), and the staff and cooks went out of their way to help get me rested and on the mend. The surrounding area is thoroughly urban, but Villa Anakao was an island of tranquility.

Amazing little place, I wish we could of stayed longer. Breakfast & dinner we’re amazing. Try to stay in the “romantic room” it was absolutely beautiful & the bathroom was great.

had a great stay here. nice sea view. the location is central for Mauritius, but you should probably get a car to get around the islands to see everything. the hotel is a perfect base for that. would stay again. no, it's not hard to find but exactly there where google map says and there is a sign.

Warm and friendly hotel feels like home, excellent staff and breakfast.

Quick and friendly check in/out. Room was clean and spacious with all furniture and fixtures made of wood. The provided lighting was not enough for the size of room. Felt as if we were staying in a country manor house rather than a hotel. The included breakfast was limited to bread products and cold cuts, with the only hot food items on offer being bacon and eggs and the items were exactly the same each day. Parking is also limited, although we found a space everytime during our stay. The hotel and grounds are starting to show their age and a major renovation will be required in the coming years. Located a short drive from Port Louis. Hotel backs onto the ocean with a small beach a few minutes walk away. Overall enjoyed our stay.

Nice and clean - absolutely recommendable. Super dinner option and breakfast was sufficient as well. Thanks a lot...

Fantastic, colonial house, terrace and garden. We had a room with our own terrace facing the sea, pool and garden - very pleasant as we came directly from the airport. We had breakfast and dinner twice and it was ok. However I have to mention that the hotel in spide of its charme needs some repair and that the surroundings outside the villa has nothing to offer.

Remote location. Has ocean views but no beach! Helpful staff. Will not stay again.

Staff hospitality 5 stars. The sign board to find hotel is outside is rather small, hard to locate hotel without GPS.

The most beautiful hotel! They staff was so friendly and helpful. They made sure I felt welcome and taken care of. I couldnt give a higher recommendation for this hotel and hope to return one day (I live in the US so it is a bit far). Beautiful food, beautiful view, and beautiful people!

This is a fantastic little hotel, rather like the one in John Lanchester's 'Fragrant Harbour'. Located next door to the public beach at Pointe Aux Sables, the hotel is about 6km from central Port Louis. Traffic is bad at peak hours, but then it is everywhere. And at Villa Anakao you are far away from the crowdedness of Port Louis but only a minutes in a car when there is not traffic. Food is great, staff is great, laundry is great, pool is a good size, as are rooms. Not sure what else one would want. Unless you are after 4- or 5-star experience, which is not the proposition here.

A small hotel with character just outside St Louis. Nice swimming pool and garden. Good Food.

Very nice quiet place by the sea...and close to Port Louis when you need to go there.

Nice hotel by the water and close to town. Nice gardens too

Excellent service and prime location for business in Port Louis

I had a fantastic stay, brilliant staff, the chief cooked wonderful food, a great small hotel, well recommended.

Villa Anakao is a small hotel, which is exactly why we chose it - and we werent disappointed. Its a beautiful building set in gorgeous surroundings, with a wonderful pool overlooking the sea. There is a fence and glass wall at the end of the garden to mark the hotel boundary, but theres a gate with a key to take you onto the beach and into the sea, if you wanted to have a splash about. The beach is rocky (so if youre looking for swathes of white sand immediately outside your room, this isnt the place for you) but we were more than happy to soak up the sun by the pool (less sand everywhere!), and instead go for walks to enjoy the beaches we passed while out and about. We did use the beach to see some beautiful sunsets though, sitting on the rocks with a chilled beer or two. The breakfasts were plentiful (breads, cheeses, meats, fruit, yogurt, eggs and bacon), and theres a set menu offered each evening which we took advantage of most days. The staff were more than happy to accommodate any dislikes, and made me an alternative meal on a couple of occasions which I really appreciated. The hotel is set in a quiet part of the island and if you want to eat out or go for some drinks, someone will need to drive (or take a taxi). I personally enjoyed being in a non-touristy area, but if you want to be within walking distance of bars, restaurants and shops, you may want to consider elsewhere.

The Villa Anakao was charming and quaint, however the location was not so appealing for our purposes. The service was very personal. Breakfast was great! The wifi was sporadic.I would only recommend this to persons having transportation means.

We had a great time in Mauritius. Our stay in Villa Aneka was very memorable. Staff are very friendly and willing to help anytime. Staff were able to assist us with tours etc which was very much appreciated.
