From the check in to check out… Hotel staff were extremely professional and helpful. It helps so much that the receptionists are fluent in English… Also, I was able to exchange my rands to metcials at the reception too. The rooms were sparkling clean, crisp white sheets and clean carpets. Breakfast was amazing…. They don’t rush you and there’s always enough for seconds and thirds. Room service is super quick. It’s just an amazing hotel!

Warm welcome as ever, even though it was 8 years since my last visit. Cardoso is a true home away from home. Caring and kind staff, a beautiful setting and warm ambiance. Can't wait to be back!

There is no place to face the sunset as the garden of Cardoso, and it is a always a joy to greet the friendly staff and experience the old world style that is well maintained. That the location is perfect for many business needs and that the surroundings are safe and full of good restaurants does not detract from the pleasure of your stay.

Hotel staff are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate your every request. I arrived early (08.00am) and it was no problem to attend breakfast and wait for my room in the lovely gardens with pool overlooking the bay. Also the staff went out of their way when I realized at 0500 in the morning, that I probably should leave earlier than initially requested (for the airport to leave). The cook prepared a take away breakfast and the taxi was requested to arrive earlier. Kudo’s to the hotel staff!. Rooms are well equipped though a bit dated (see other reviews of pictures), but the view made up for this. Especially the sea-side rooms are quiet. The buffet lunch is relatively expensive (26 euro) but the choice of food and the taste were quite good. I would be most happy to return to hotel Cardoso, as it catered to my every need. (Great views, wonderful pool (though not heated I think) and good food selection). There’s a nice restaurant on the left as you leave the hotel (well guarded by security) at the roundabout called Campo Das Acacias. Highly recommended to try.

Great hotel, very nice design mix of Mozambique African and Portugal influences. The staff are really friendly and helpful. My room was very comfortable and clean, the pool was also very nice with the great view. Next time I go to Maputo, this hotel will be my first choice. Thank you, obrigado
