Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort

The smile and kindness of the entire staffare the sixth star of the Resort. Unrepeatable colors kept us company during the entire stay. Being moved by the staff's very long farewell when we left will always remain in our hearts! Pinotta and Renato (from Naples - ITALY)

Nice Place, Great staff (polite, attentive, well presented and organized), Excellent food. Enjoyed the activities (sunset, benguerra island tour, spa). Staff were so amazing. Would like to thank you for All

The best resort I have been so far, Love to be there very relaxing definitely will go the in the next opportunity . I highly recommend the experience, they are very hospitality whit the guests fill like a lord , excellent food , drinks, too good .

Overall, we had a very good time during our stay but the moment we started our return things got worse and overshadowed our trip. The stay itself would rate 4/5. Pro: - Lovely scenery - Delicious food and great drinks (best lobsters we've ever had..) - Very friendly staff (especially Henrique, Charles, Yusse) Con: - Level of cleanliness in the villas was ok-ish - Our Butler (Dario) was not of any help and forwarded our numbers afterwards - The dive center was managed poorly (whilst charging c. 200 USD for a 2 dives / day) Unfortunately, we were almost forgotten on our way back to the airport (there is a quick waiting time at a resort after the boat drive from Bazaruto Island to the main land) and had to chase the car to stop by running and yelling. Additionally, and this was by far the worst experience we've ever encountered, our credit cards were charged twice (we used two different credit cards for the payments and each was charged a second time after our vacation). The first double-charge (5.000 USD) happened two weeks after our departure, the second four weeks after (700 USD). The handling of this serious issue was really bad (we had to ask the hotel various times regarding the status of our problem) and no one really seemed to care. It appears that this issue has something to do with a change within the mozambican banking system. However, the handling was really bad (especially for such a hotel).

It’s gorgeous - both rustic and comfortable. The staff were very kind and responsive. We went as a family of 9 for Nana’s 70th birthday and we had an incredible time. Our rooms were comfortable. The food was amazing. Eat the prawns!

It takes long to get to Bazaruto from Europe but it’s definitely worth it! Even if it is only once in your lifetime - you should experience it. This is another world - you should get the feel of the serene nature, picturesque views, lovely and always smiling people, perfect accommodation and service.

Traveled solo and I can say it’s my best solo trip so far. I was so well received every single person knew my name! The villa is gorgeous I wish had more time to just sit in the room alone. The tub with a view! All the activities so well organised. The treatments and view at the spa - to die for. My skin has been glowing ever since I left. This is just an amazing getaway

Beautiful surroundings and great nature experiences, but the hotel feels dated and need modernization. If you are looking for an ultimate 5*-experience (similar to hotels in the Seychelles and Mauritius), this is not the hotel for you. The food was nice, but only one restaurant open for lunch and dinner during our stay. Service was sometimes very good and sometimes very slow. We waited over an hour to get drinks, with only three other tables with guests. The poolbar/pool area needs an update, both in drink-menu and surroundings. We loved the snorkeling among turtles and dolphins as well as horse riding. Also the spa was really nice, with beautiful location and very service-minded staff. This place definitely has potential to be really great, but at the moment there is a significant gap to the hotel competitors in the Indian Ocean.
