Nice and pleasant place, but vendors are annoying Generally super nice and pleasant place. It does become a bit annoying and unpleasant though when vendors are constantly pursuing you to sell their boat trips and art inside the lodge.

Tranquilo Cape Maclear Fantastic staff, very quiet and confortable place. We visited most of the hotels and Airbnbs in Cape Maclear and Tranquilo was was by far one of the most clean places in the area.

Staff and lodging is good, ac works. The pool was not filled upon our arrival. Don’t buy anything from the vendors on the beach they will overcharge you by insane amounts. Walk down to the other vendors and shops for better deals.

Wir hatten vier Nächte gebucht sind aber nach einer Nacht wieder abgereist. Wir sind erfahrene Afrika und speziell Malawi Reisende. Cape Mclear kennen wir schon seit fast 15 Jahren und haben noch nie eine so heruntergekommene Lodge mit unfähigen Personal gesehen. Der Preis ist mit über 100 $ pro Nacht absolut unverständlich hoch für das was man bekommt. Eine Frechheit und Verarschung für jeden Touristen wo sich auf seine Ferien freut. Negativ: Unser Zimmer war überaus schmutzig und wo man hin schaute waren Dinge defekt. Steckdosen fallen ab, lebensgefährlich für unser Kind. Lavabo, Toilette, Kühlschrank, bei allen rinnt Wasser heraus. In dieser Küche kochen ist nicht möglich da bereits das notwendigste nicht vorhanden ist, und alles so derart schmutzig ist und dass man’s nicht gebrauchen will. Halter sind abgefallen oder gar nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Angestellten sind nicht zuvorkommend, Kommunikation vor Ort wie auch vorab per Mail extrem schwierig bis nicht vorhanden. Man sieht dass die Lodge mal gute Zeiten hatte jedoch schon seit Jahren nichts mehr investiert wurde. Schade aber nicht zu ändern ist auch dass die Affen stets auf dem Wellblechdach herum springen und man morgens dementsprechend früh aufwacht. Der Pool war zur Zeit praktisch leer und das Wasser darin komplett grün und verschmutzt. Der Garten ungepflegt überall liegen Äste herum und an vielen Orten ist das Gras abgestorben weil es niemand wässert. Positiv: Die Klimaanlage hat gut funktioniert der Wasserdruck in der Dusche war in Ordnung und nachdem der Elektriker vor Ort war hatten wir dann auch Warmwasser.

The hotel and rooms at Cape Maclean look NOTHING like the website. Rooms are shabby with poor facilities. The 2 bedroom apartment was dark and dirty. Even the upgrade was poor - also dirty, a wardrobe with no hangers etc. the pool area is also run down and the covers on the sun loungers are filthy. It is on the shore and has nice swimming. Breakfast was good but dinner poor, especially for a vegetarian. The WiFi didn’t work although the manager did allow us to tether to him. But of course he was t around all the time. It needs a complete refurb

best lake experience I have ever had. Great beach view, polite staff with great service. I loved the breakfast with seasonal sweet potatoes while the Chambo and Kampago were my favourite main meals. Adam, Innocent Jamila were amazing!!!! Will probably come again.

This place was advertised as Luxury but I certainly didnt see it anywhere. I see good reviews and think, was I staying in the same hotel. Our room was possibly one of the worst I have stayed in. The sheets fels as if they were unclean, The couch in the room was full of stains, The bed was unsecure and very noisy, but the bathroom was the worse of all - we had no hot water for the majority of our stay and the hose was leaking on the shower and had zero pressure. Under the sink was full of ants. The door in the bathroom was absolutely filthy on both sides. We ordered food and I had the burger which was full of grizzle and smothered in what has to be the the worst tasting ketchup I have ever tasted, It was so bad that I find it hard even describing it as ketchup. Others had beef and they were sure it was goat and not beef as it was so chewy. The pool was dirty as well. Avoid this place at all costs. It would be cleaner sleeping on the Beach.
