An absolute DISASTER 👎

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Jul 2024via mobile
Arrived 1pm yesterday in the hotel. We booked a two bedroom villo in order to be all together as a family. The villa is an absolute disaster, dirty toilette, one out of use, blanket with a dirt spot, dirty coach and sofa, can't even dare to seat and old broken furnitures. Frighten to open the window as broken glass on it.
Te hotel offer to change our room, even worse than the first villa. the hotel director is proposing us even to move to another hotel or to have 2 others rooms one for our daughter and one for us while we booked a 2 bedroom suite.
At 9:30 and the problem stil the same, unsolved.we pre payed 2000€/night.
You can find much better for much cheaper!
I have send a complain to minor group, a nd will call them in Bangkok let's see the response.
If nothing | will contact ministry of tourism of Mozambique to understand how can they give 5 stars to such hotel!!!
Only positive point seems to be the view of the room. But again cheaper in much better in Seychelles, Mauritius or Maldives.
We got an email from the GM this morning,very surprised by the way he answer our request and give us a departure time for boat to leave the hotel since we are unhappy which I don’t call it a customer service attitud. Only resort manager doing his job trying to find a solution.
Date of stay: July 2024
Room Tip: Do not come here, the renovation is about 24 years ago and since NOTHING, aggressive approche...
Trip type: Travelled with family

Dear Anahitas,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us.
We understand that the details you shared highlight some concerns about the condition of your room. However, it’s important to note that these issues represent a small portion of the overall room condition. When these concerns were raised, we offered you a room move to our beach location, which you declined. Additionally, when you requested an alternative hotel, we provided options that were also declined. As a result, you requested a full refund, and we recognize that all the solutions we offered were not accepted.
Despite the alternatives and our efforts to address your concerns, you chose to continue your stay at the Resort and participated in several activities, including some that were offered on a complimentary basis.
Guest satisfaction is of utmost importance to us, and we are committed to ensuring that all our guests experience Mozambique's warm hospitality.

Please let us know how we can further assist you, and we hope to give us another opportunity to provide the high-quality service we are known for.

We have just had six wonderful nights on this beautiful island. The team there are so friendly and do everything they can to make your stay a wonderful one. The food was always fresh and extremely good. Highly recommend for a relaxing break. We didn’t do any snorkelling but others were saying there’s plenty of fish, turtles and other marine life to see.

Great resort what concerns localization, type of rooms, people friendliness, nice spots to dive or snorkel, but the most poor F&B service I have been in a 5 star hotel. Poor everything, lack of products, some already not consumable (milk that had already pass long time the expiration date!), Same fish of the day everyday! In resume will not return

A company retreat that turned to a family experience. We were very fortunate to go to Anantara as a company and had a wonderful experience from the moment we set foot in Mozambique. the airport transfer to the boat was on time and the boat ride in was amazing with the friendliest staff assisting us from our luggage to even carrying our shoes! The boat to the island was an experience already to remember with the scenic views and experience captain it felt like the adventure was about to begin! The Friendliest Staff Greeted us with so much pride and professionalism definitely the 5 stars experience you would expect but with the warmth of a family coming home! The facilities are well run and well maintained, with the most attention to detail in every aspect and all are of the finest quality. The food was out of this world and the barman will become your best friend. I cannot wait to visit this beautiful place again. the only thing that might be needed is patience with the Wi-Fi but to us personally was well welcomed to switch off and interact with nature and the ones around us.

Room tip: out of season is fantastic
