Stayed here with my wife for final leg of our honeymoon after safari and we loved it. Facilities and food are fantastic. Our butler Enya and whole staff made our honeymoon very special. The manager, Zane, was on premises and so friendly. Beach is one of most beautiful I’ve ever seen. We did a castaway picnic, sunset cruise, and we went deep sea fishing. All were incredible. One of the best fishing days I’ve ever had in my life. We will be back!
This was a novel sort of tailored experience and my first stay in Mozambique. The Island is quite beautiful and diverse. Beautiful see-through blue waters and perfect brown sand beaches encompasses the beautiful denizens of the island. I learned that the hotel employs majority of the natives to provide jobs, which is enriching. On a tour of the beautiful island, I learned that the hotel facilitated the development of a hospital, with maternity ward and a full time doctor who resides in the clinic to tend to the healthcare of the islanders. The hotel also constructed a school for children. However, the service at the resort is immaculate to be honest. Helder was our personal concierge and he was always available when we needed him. He maintained a happy demeanor and was generally pleasant to be around. The food was spectacular everyday and every meal which was often customized to individual preferences. Needless to say, there was unlimited barrage of drinks which added much cheer to the experience. The actual lodging was well kept and comfortable with a large king sized bed surrounded by blinds to keep bugs out at night. There was a nice tub to take baths. However, the only shower was an outdoor one which worked well considering it was private and the weather was generally quite warm.
We were blown away by andBeyond's Benguerra Island Resort. From the dramatic arrival by helicopter to the exceptional staff and services, to the beautiful scenery, this resort was spectacular. Our villa was beyond words. Abel, our butler, provided us with service beyond compare. We went on an island tour and learned about the island and it's history. We snorkeled and saw amazing coral reef and marine life; and rode horses on the beach. Food and drinks were fantastic for each and every meal. This resort was a little slice of paradise!
The most beautiful, quiet beach I’ve ever visited. Water was clear and blue and calm, perfect for swimming. Weather in early July was perfect for sunbathing. Accommodations were spotless and luxurious and private. Activities (snorkeling, sunset cruise, touring the island community) were awe-inspiring and fun. Food was plentiful and delicious. But mostly — the people. Every single staff member was warm, welcoming, helpful, kind, generous, and lovely. I cried when we left as they waved goodbye to us on the helicopter. I couldn’t recommend this resort more highly. It was a beautiful experience.
Once again the AndBeyond Group have shown their class above the rest. From the helicopter flight in, the welcoming reception, the personal attention and attention to detail you can’t go wrong. This is a lodge built to enjoy what Africa and Mozambique have to offer. It wild and rustic with all the glamour. Don’t expect tv’s and wi-fi, expect to enjoy the warmth of the Mozambique people together with tropical environment you’re sharing with nature. The meals served pretty much on the beach by your private butler are one of a kind. Really enjoyed my stay and would gladly recommend for a romantic break for couples. I’ve had the pleasure of staying at other Andbeyond lodges and they have all been great experiences.
