I recently had the privilege of staying in the executive suite at this fantastic hotel. It was for a short 2 night break and I only wish it had been for longer. Having spent many years working in Maputo, this was my first return trip after 2 years and I had forgotten just how exciting and vibrant the nightlife in... More

Beautiful location, if you like sunrises on the beach. The lawn and pool are well-maintained, and the people are very friendly, even helpful. Lots of Americans. Downside: I wouldn't let my kids swim in the ocean (there is a huge drainpipe, collecting God-knows-what and dumping it on the beach, to flow into the ocean, right at the hotel's property line)...

The staff are extraordinarily friendly and helpful. The room is nicely outfitted with screens that pull down over the windows that face the ocean just feet away so you have the sound of the surf lulling you to sleep all night. The drapes are engineered so that one passes by the other to make a great barrier to light for... More

Our room was extremely mouldy and the setup in the room is that you have a slatted door closing off the bathroom so at night the room lights up if someone turns on the bathroom light. You could clearly see the mould in the cupboard. There was no aircon and the fan in our room was broken and not repaired... More

A great location. Newly revamped rooms are very comfortable. While rates are somewhat steep, they are acceptable for Mozambique. Staff are friendly but service is slightly lacking. While there was an abundance of food the quality of the cooked meals on the buffet was a little poor.

Great location, attentive staff, friendly management and free WiFi stand-out. Other positives - decent restaurant buffet, sound of sea at night and direct access to beach. Negatives: noisy Zionists praying on beach in early hours (happens most weekends), towels were a bit tired, plates and cutlery re-supply ran a bit short at full occupation, meeting room is a bit small....

It's a very good hotel, facing the Indian Ocean, with a beatiful swimming pool. The rooms are clean and good, the staff is professional and polite. The hotel has a good restaurant that I suggest you to try at least once while enjoying their great breakfast in front of the sea is a nice and positive way to start the... More
