Riviere des Anguilles La Vanille Nature Reserve Hotels

"Worst stay at a resort. Staff are not friendly at all, except for the barman at Sega stage. Everyone else makes it feel like they’re doing you a favor. My wife has a medical condition which we tried to get assistance from the front desk and the guy who’s responded couldn’t be less helpful. He was cold and unhelpful. The food is tasteless and boring the exact same menu every single night at the buffet. The entertainment was terrible, they literally hired 3 people to dance randomly on stage. The African night has some good parts but ultimately boring. The resort has no fun activities and the sloped beach lacked beach umbrellas so you’re sitting in the open hot sun. The pool has sporadic activities that catered to a much older group over 60s. The resort is away from everything and over an hour from the airport. The minibar is abysmal for the price you pay, a few sodas and water and 1 beer. No snacks no variety. The in room dining has 3 cold sandwich options for food, that’s it. I can’t believe the price for this horrible experience. I’ve stayed in cheaper better run resorts in Mexico, Dominican and the other side of Mauritius. What a disappointment."

"No matter how good the amenities or how beautiful the views, a hotel is only as good as the people who work there. In this respect, Shanti’s friendly, polite and efficient staff elevate it to among the best on the island. A thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. "

"The pool was very relaxing. Made to feel welcomed from the minute I arrived. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Only downside is the location really necessitates a car or moped"

"So I’ll start with the positives. Staff was friendly, room was clean and pool was nice and breakfast was nice to start the day. My room did have a rather warm pleasant smell for most of the stay and I was below the rooftop and the music played ALL night so base could be heard through then ceiling. Overall the stay was fine. Rooms were nicer in photos and there is not much around the hotel but the little beach is pretty and a nice little restaurant next door. "

"Rooms were fine and staff was very courteous"

"All of the above. Everything was perfect, the villa, the beautiful grounds of the La Pirogue, breakfast and dinner buffets. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would highly recomend!"
