Valoraciones de Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort

Anantara Bazaruto....Incredible 5 Star resort !! Not only the resort facilities but mainly the friendly staff. We were met on arrival by Isabel our personal host. A real gem ensuring all our needs were met... even on her day off. She arranged everything meticulously. Massages, Jacuzzi, Champagne etc. All done without a hitch. Then there is Henrique, Joana and Elisa in the restaurants feeding us all the fabulous Mozambican cuisine. Serving each course always with a friendly smile and catering for our every wish. Our barman Inacio never leaving our glasses empty. Mixing amazing and fabulous cocktails. I would certainly love to come back again. The resort and the staff are incredible.

Bueno, pues es difícil hacer una valoración global en perspectiva viniendo de sitios en los que la atención fue completamente personalizada realizando safaris, y en Lodge increíbles, pero lo voy a intentar. Nos recomendaron este resort como alternativa a Maldivas, y desde ya os digo que merece la pena. La llegada la realizamos en barco, te reciben bailando y con una piña colada, mejor recibimiento no puede haber. Las habitaciones están al nivel de las fotografías, y de lo esperado, una villa individual con piscina privada y con acceso directo a la playa, para llegar a ellas tienes que andar un paseo que a lo sumo como fue en nuestro caso unos 8 minutos. Las actividades incluidas en nuestro caso por la luna de miel fueron un masaje, una excursión en barco al atardecer, un baño en el Spa, y una cena romántica ( que es la misma carta del restaurante pero en una mesa en la playa) Como pega antes de seguir diré que tienes que buscarte tu un poco las " castañas" respecto a la información de actividades y demás, son un poco parcos en palabras e información... Respecto a la comida, el mejor restaurante de los 3 que hay sin duda es el del club naval, y puede decir que tiene un nivel MUY ALTO. Los platos que probamos eran exquisitos, y un día como alternativa estaba la mariscada de langosta, que tiene un suplemento de 32$ y merece la pena. Los tamaños de los platos son enormes, rara es la vez que hemos llegado al postre. Por lo demás, el complejo turístico esta a la altura de lo que puedas esperar, Anantara vale el precio que pagas, y nos llevamos un recuerdo increíble de nuestra luna de miel, espero poder repetir en un futuro.

We took a helicopter from Vilanculas to Bazaruta island, so felt like complete rockstars from the start. Achingly beautiful scenery. We loved our island hideaway and all staff were warm and welcoming. Beautiful fruit basket and bottle of wine welcomed us. Sunset cocktails on the beach are a must. My birthday dinner was very memorable - special table on the beach, amazing seafood buffet, birthday singing and cake to end the magical evening. Another highlight was scuba diving 2 Mile Reef with divemaster Juma - dolphins, turtles, shark and the most beautiful tropical fish. Plus a stop on Pansy Island to look for shells! Finished by the best lunch - prawns and snapper! Fabulous evening entertainment at the club, with a Greek themed buffet rounded off another amazing day in paradise. Thanks again to Haylee at Barefoot Breaks for everything! You made our trip the best!!

From our initial check-in to every morning and evening at meal times, the team could not do more for you. Their beautiful, warm smiles and excellent hospitality made you feel like you were staying with a relative / family member. The food was out of this world with the chefs surprising us everyday with their talent - were we blown away by the Mozambique seafood or what. Unbelievable - Those prawns - actually the size of Lobsters were ‘next level’ and sumptuously prepared. I was equally surprised on my birthday with a cake and warm Portuguese singing by the fabulous team which was the icing on the cake for me so thank you , thank you and thank you. We will definitely return. I would add they do need to promote the Spa a bit more as it is somewhat feels like an afterthought when asked about and this is where they could make their money.

I've read a couple of negative reviews of this place and was a little nervous about going but honestly- I could not find one thing to complain about. The staff are so inviting and friendly- nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was great- there was a decent selection to suit any palate and everything we had was really delicious and packed with flavour. They had a large selection of all- inclusive drinks and the service was great- nothing we ordered was out of stock or unavailable. We stayed in the beach villa and the room was stunning- the view from our deck and beach loungers was postcard perfect. We spent most of our time at the adult pool area and everything there was gorgeous- they even do a sundowner set up on the beach that is spectacular. Honestly, this place is perfect for couples looking to switch off and reconnect with one another. Its an African island resort so if perfect wifi and top of the range Balsamic vinegar (yes, I actually heard people complaining about this) are what's important to you then this may not be the resort for you. The price point was worth every penny spent in my mind- for the view and the private beach loungers alone. There are plenty of free activities to keep you busy- walks along the beach, paddle boarding and kayaking. The dhow cruise (included in the stay) was also really special and worth doing. The sunsets are AMAZING- my poor phone photography skills just couldnt do them justice. We will definitely be going back!

Our worries began as soon as we arrived at the airport: a wait of over an hour, a chaotic arrival without any information. Uncomfortable transfer by boat, again with no information and rude staff. Once there, the rooms were 30 years old, hardly anyone spoke English fluently, and the food was not good or even dangerous (the chicken was raw in the middle!!). Activities are overpriced, nothing is included, the gym is dangerous because the equipment is outdated. The store and kids' room are empty, power outages are commonplace, and wifi is very poor. There's no manager, everyone does what they want. They try to trick you by invoicing you many things you didn't do upon check-out, be careful. Go elsewhere, there's a much better place right next door...

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Anantara. The helicopter transfer from Vilanculos airport was a treat and got us to the resort an hour ahead of those who used the speedboat transfer. The beach villa complete with plunge pool ensured we had the best view, the beach close to the villa and the added spoilt to have a pool. Our host Claudio was attentive, well-spoken and knowledgeable. The food was good, decent wine selection and the seafood was nothing short of brilliant. We will definitely be back.
