"Anantara Bazaruto review"

9 nights Arrived 16 Jul 2017
"Fantastic resort in a stunning location with excellent staff. Great attention to detail, food was bounteous & extremely good, and plenty of activities to keep everybody happy. Dive sites were really good, with great variety and good divemasters. The villas were really well positioned up the hill to benefit from the views and were extremely comfortable. The cultural tour was also interesting but the hotel could probably do more to show its interaction with the community and what guests could do to contribute."

"Anantara Bazaruto review"

6 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2016
"top notch resort

- too much use of plastic little drinking water bottles - should use safari camp system of handing out metal water bottle (with your name on it) for use during stay - and have filling stations - would cut use of plastic bottles in half.

food amazing, service over the top - sometimes too much - no need to replace towels every day (didnt use on floor system)" See all these reviews: 6n in Mozambique; 4n in Botswana

"Bazaruto Break"

5 nights Arrived 29 Jul 2016
"This island resort was a perfect antidote to recover from a dusty African safari.

We did stay in the luxury villas which are magnificent and really do give you a sense of desert island paradise.
We had a great family break and would recommend the Paradise Island snorkeling and kayaking on the wonderfully warm Indian Ocean.
The staff are attentive and the seafood exquisite." See all these reviews: 5n in Mozambique; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Anantara Bazaruto review"

5 nights Arrived 25 Aug 2014
"AMAZING! Stayed in 215 up the hill and absolutely loved the place.... fabulous staff.....wonderful food......incredible views and beachfront location.

Plenty to do: diving was very well run, horse riding too. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Downsides? Tennis courts needed some TLC but nothing else" See all these reviews: 5n in Mozambique; 5n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Lovely beach resort and spa"

3 nights Arrived 4 Jul 2011
"Indigo Bay is a very nice resort and I enjoyed my stay. My beach villa was almost as large as my apartment and also had a veranda and a small yard of sorts. All of the personnel were very nice and friendly. The spa was very, very nice and had amazing views.

As a head's up for other travelers, most of the activities are not included in the room rate and the activity fees are not nominal. The spa prices are comparable to the spa prices in the U.S. That said, I enjoyed the activities I did, particularly the day trip to Santa Carolina Island. I also enjoyed the spa service I had."

"Indigo Bay review"

3 nights Arrived 7 May 2008
"very nice place . Rooms are very good , Staff is very nice , good food .

the only downside for me was the water in front of the hotel . Beach is nice but there were a lot of seaweed in the water . Not quite what i expected when you see the brochure or when you fly to get there . Don t worry you can still swim it s not that bad !"
