Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort Bewertungen

Am Ende unserer wunderschönen Afrika Reise wollten wir noch ein paar Tage am Meer entspannen. Um es kurz zu machen, wir sind mehr als enttäuscht. Diese Unterkunft verdient maximal drei Sterne. Das ganze Hotel ist extrem renovierungsbedürftig. Die Zimmer sind mit den billigsten Materialien ausgestattet. Der Service ist mangelhaft und ohne Herz. Wer gerne gesunde und vitale Gerichte isst, sucht hier vergeblich. Das Spa hat einen wunderschönen Ausblick aber auch hier ist der gesamte Bereich ohne Herz. Keine Musik, kein schöner Duft, keine Kerzen. Stattdessen brummt der Generator am schönsten Entspannungspunkt. Uns ist es ein Rätsel wie dieses Hotel die Marke „Anantara“ trägt. Nicht mal beim Checkout hat sich das Management blicken lassen. Sehr schade! Normalerweise ist es nicht unsere Art, so eine schlechte Bewertung zu schreiben. Vielleicht wird das Management jetzt mal wach und beginnt grundlegend etwas zu ändern. Wir werden sicher nicht wiederkommen. Und können das Hotel auch leider nicht empfehlen.

Bazaruto ist sicher eine der besten Locations im indischen Ozean. Das Anantara gibt alles, um diesem außergewöhnlichen Ort gerecht zu werden. Die Anreise sollte ab Flughafen Vilanculos bestenfalls mit dem Helikopter erfolgen. Dann hat man schon am ersten Tag 2-3 Stunden mehr Zeit im Paradies. Der Empfang mit afrikanischer Folklore und Willkommenscocktail fiel außerordentlich herzlich aus. "Butler" Paolo stand schon bereit, um mir vom ersten Moment an einen schönen Aufenthalt zu bereiten. Auch der griechische Hoteldirektor war vor Ort und kümmerte sich auch an den folgenden Tagen um mein Wohlergehen. Beste Voraussetzungen für tolle 5 Tage mit überragenden Erlebnissen: - Fahrt mit der Jacht zum Schorcheln nach Paradise Island (Barbecue möglich) . Viele Fische auch ohne Anfüttern. - Dau-Fahrt in den Sonnenuntergang mit Getränken und Snacks - Private "Ocean Safari" (3 Stunden, 180 US-Dollar, jeder Cent wert) zu Seekühen und Delfinen mit phantastischem Schnorchelerlebnis in wunderschöner Unterwasserwelt - Inseltour mit dem Geländewagen mit tollen Ausblicken auf die kilometerlange Sanddühne und die Landschaft der Insel. Sehr interessant auch, wie die Einwohner leben. - Ritt ins Landesinnere und am Strand - Sehr angenehme Massagen im Wellness-Center des Hotels, das auf einem Berg mit super Aussichten gelegen ist. Insbesondere die Sonnenuntergänge sind an dieser Stelle besonders schön. Daneben kann man das Resort alleine z.B. in seiner perfekten Beach Villa direkt am Ozean oder auch in den öffentlichen Bereichen genießen. Oder einfach nur den langen Sandstrand entlang wandern. Weitere Aktionen wie Hochseefischen, Tauchen, oder Surfen auf der Dühne werden angeboten. In bester Erinnerung wird mir immer die Herzlichkeit des Personals bleiben. Die ganze Truppe vom Zimmermädchen bis zum Ober macht einen klasse Job. Das Essen war sehr gut. Insbesondere der Catch of the day mit einem kühlen Glas Weißwein und Ausblick auf Strand und Meer war "outstanding".

Wir waren in den Flitterwochen auf Bazaruto Island im Anantara Resort. Eine wundervoll Oase die wir so schnell nicht vergessen werden. Sehr gutes und reichhaltiges Essen, herzliche Betreuung, toll Aktivitätsmöglichkeiten, Wundervolle Tier und Pflanzenwelt und eine schöne, gepflegte Unterkunft. Vielen Dank an das Personal für ihren täglichen herzlichen Umgang!

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.

Anantara Bazaruto has a great location in the Bazaruto Island which has dunes, reefs and white sand, together with a really interesting fauna. Anantara has amazing villas, lots of activities and fenomenal service, thank you team for making us feel at home!

During our 10-day stay at Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort starting August 5, 2024, we experienced both the charm and the challenges of this tropical paradise. **Booking Process** The financial handling during the booking process was frustrating. We assumed our holiday was paid for on the Anantara website using American Express (a surcharge applied which was fine to us). However, just a few days before the intended arrival to Anantara, while already on holiday in the South African bush with limited access to mobile connectivity, we were informed that they could not process the American Express payment due to a banking system transition. We were asked to pay by bank transfer with unclear banking details, which were blocked by our bank's fraud department. This took a lot of time and effort to resolve. It would be much simpler if Anantara arranged a PayPal payment option or some other payment terminal which could easily avoid this kind of struggles. **Helicopter transfer and airport handling** The welcome and organisation on the Vilanculo airport by the Anatara staff was friendly and well organized delivering a swift pass through to the helicopter transfer. This helicopter ride over the azur blue ocean is an amazing experience to get to the resort. The pilot very friendly and experienced. **Accommodation and Facilities** The villas, while spacious and offering stunning ocean views, are noticeably outdated. The interior decor feels very old, with in example broken lamps, old useless kitchens as a memory to appartment style units in the past and curtain rails that no longer function properly. This detracted from the overall comfort and luxury we expected from an Anantara brand property. **Resort Infrastructure** The resort features, as a main walking infrastructure to get around, elevated wooden walkways and terraces, which are unfortunately in a state of disrepair. I even fell through one of the planks, and I am not particularly heavy. The lighting installed in these areas is exposed, posing a hazard, especially around the pool with water where children play. Additionally, the available airstrip is completely outdated, the tennis court has cracked and uneven tarmac, the artificial grass football field is half torn and damaged, all the signing is old and unreadable and the asphalt paths throughout the resort are all broken and worn out. A thorough renovation is urgently needed to address these safety concerns and to meet the high standards associated with the Anantara brand. **Staff and Service** Despite the outdated facilities, the staff performed wonders with the limited resources and outdated infrastructure and accommodation available. From housekeeping to the restaurants and reception, everyone was attentive and helpful. Their dedication and friendliness significantly enhanced our stay. **Food and Beverage Experience** Although we generally prefer à la carte dining, the buffets exceeded our expectations. The quality, themes, and variety were

The most hotel - our th visit. Outstanding service, excellent staff. Amazing food. Staff cannot do enough. The spa is wonderful, and we enjoyed the snorkeling and dune experience. One of the best hotels we have in.

We loved it from the moment we arrived until we came back earlier today and treated ourselves to a helicopter ride to boot on way back! Very peaceful trip with the best beach/pool villa which is postcard perfect and the staff were all great ….. yes we were lucky with weather but even with some tropical rain here and there it was more of a relief from the heat than a hindrance …. Marcos ; Isabel and all the restaurant and activities staff went out of their way …. We will definitely book again hopefully in next 12 months considering it’s a hop ; skip and an effortless jump from SA….. Ron ; Stacy and Lyla

We enjoyed our time at the resort because of the friendliness and professionalism of the staff looking after us. They went out of their way to accommodate and plan a birthday celebration for our group and we enjoyed our time poolside. The Bazaruto archipelago is remote, pristine and stunningly beautiful no matter where you look there is natural beauty everywhere. We were very fortunate to have this experience and thank the ones that made it possible.
