The staff and services were 10/10. Truly so accommodating to all our needs, and went the extra mile (even giving us their own sunscreen to use when we ran out!). Everyone at the resort was really friendly and paid attention to detail (e.g. we were seated at the best table with a view for our final night at the resort). Food was also absolutely incredible - we had a stunning variety of delicious meals and cocktails. Only thing to make note of - there’s no jetty to get on and off the boats so it requires some walking in the water and climbing on/off the boat. And the rooms are quite spread out (great for privacy!) which requires a bit of a walk to and from the rooms to any restaurants/activities. All in all, we had an absolutely wonderful time at Anantara Bazaruto and would highlight recommend!
