Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas

Reena Prince

We had the pleasure of spending a luxurious and unforgettable 3-night family getaway at Anantara Iko Resort & Villas, and it was everything we hoped for—and more. We arrived around 4 PM and were warmly welcomed by Prashanth, whose hospitality and professionalism set the tone for the rest of our stay. To our delight, we were greeted right at our villa with refreshing welcome drinks and light snacks, a thoughtful gesture that instantly made us feel at home. While Prashanth handled the check-in formalities seamlessly, we began exploring the stunning property nestled along the beautiful Blue Bay coastline. He took the time to walk us through the key spots across the resort—from the pristine beach and serene pools to the array of restaurants offering different cuisines. Every detail of the property felt carefully curated, and the lush landscaping made our strolls a visual treat. *What we absolutely loved:* The villa: Spacious, private, and elegantly designed with its own pool and every amenity we could ask for. It truly felt like a luxurious extension of our home. The location: A beautifully maintained, tranquil property just 10 minutes from the airport. The beach experience: Clean, scenic, and peaceful. We especially enjoyed the picturesque beach swing—it became a family favorite for sunset photos. Exceptional service: Prashanth and Ashley were consistently responsive on the internal WhatsApp group and ensured every need was taken care of quickly and warmly. Dining: The buffet breakfast and dinner at Horizon had an excellent spread, with consistently delicious food. A special mention to Sea.Fire.Salt for their mouthwatering sushi, pineapple fried rice, and the fish fillet with lemon butter sauce—absolutely divine! Thoughtful touches: From the convenient buggy rides to the handy umbrellas in the villa, every small detail was designed with guest comfort in mind. The pools: Calm, scenic, and overlooking the ocean—a perfect spot to unwind. The staff: Always attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their commitment to guest satisfaction was evident at every step. *Room for improvement:* During peak hours at the Horizon restaurant, it would help if staff were assigned to specific sections to ensure smoother service and more personalized attention. We occasionally experienced short waits, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. All in all, our stay at Anantara Iko was everything a family holiday should be—peaceful, pampering, and filled with beautiful memories. My children usually start missing home after three nights, but this time was different—they didn’t want to leave! That, to me, speaks volumes. A heartfelt thank you to Team SSR Holidays for recommending this gem. It truly exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend the villas at Anantara Iko for anyone looking for an indulgent yet homely family escape.

I am currently staying at this hotel until June 9, and unfortunately, my experience so far has not been very pleasant. The air conditioning in my room is not working properly, making it quite uncomfortable, especially during the warmer parts of the day. Additionally, there have been several power outages throughout the day, which is very inconvenient. Housekeeping service has also been below expectations — the room is not cleaned properly or consistently. I hope the hotel management can address these issues promptly, as I still have a few days left in my stay. Improving these services would make a big difference. Thank You for Your Help Dear Mr. Ahmed, I would like to express my sincere thanks for your help in solving the issue I faced during my stay at the hotel. I truly appreciate your quick response and professional attitude. Thanks to your support, my experience here has greatly improved, and I now feel much more comfortable. Thank you once again for your excellent service.

The staff friendliness felt very limited towards local residents —unless you were a foreigner, at least that was our impression. This affected the overall warmth of the experience. The stay didn’t quite meet 5-star standards: the rooms were not very clean, and some equipment was faulty, suggesting the place is overdue for renovation. There was a lack of activities, and while the food was okay, the presence of many flies—possibly due to the beach proximity—was a downside. On the positive side, the scenic setting and landscaped surroundings were truly excellent. The gym, sports facilities, and pool areas were good, though the main pool’s filtration system seemed weak. Despite the shortcomings, the natural beauty and peaceful setting still made the stay enjoyable.

We had the best time. Hotel staff are super friendly and very attentive. Food was great. Few different restaurants to choose from. Saffron was our favourite which was typical Indian cuisine. Different pools to lounge at, location was right on the beach and waters and beach was so clean and everything felt luxury. Highly recommend

We stayed 5 nights at this resort. Unfortunately, the comments about cleanliness are true. The rooms are very old. The terrace door barely closes, and the lock didn’t even work, so our room could have been accessed by anyone at any time. It always took extremely long to get anything delivered to our room. We were repeatedly disturbed late at night by housekeeping asking if we needed anything, and even opening the door without us requesting service. At breakfast on the first day we were interrupted 10 times with questions, and every day it was extremely noisy. If you don’t explicitly ask, they won’t change the bed sheets or restock the vanity kit and other essentials. It’s true there were many dogs around, which isn’t ideal considering there are children—I myself as an adult felt scared to walk alone. The breakfast food was okay but always the same and not the best quality. At the pool, the cocktails were disappointing: every day they came in different glasses, sizes, and tasted like juice. The pools were okay, but the drainage system was weak. The gardens and pools were clean, but you can’t really enjoy the beach. Overall, it doesn’t really live up to a luxury or 5-star standard. Plus: near by the airport, but very noisy.
