Devocean Eco Adventure Lodge

The accommodation is basic but sufficient and clean. You know what you're getting when you pay so you won't be disappointed. I stayed in a two-sleeper tent which is an already-set-up tent on a raised platform. There were two single beds, a bedside table and lamp, some shelves and a fan. I did the scuba diving course (had no previous experience). The instructor was excellent. I had Lea de Felice as my instructor and she was patient, professional and friendly. The food was a highlight of my stay - every night we had a different gourmet 3-course meal. It's definitely worth it to take a package where meals are included. The place has a laid back vibe. Everyone's chilled and always friendly. I'm not a fan of insects and weird creatures like lizards or geckos. You will encounter them here (outside) - but it's not an issue - they don't come near you. You're not in the city - you'll learn to live with it. I did.

First of all this place is a paradise. Located 2 hours away from the capital Maputo, this place offers so much. The owner of this small resort is absolutely nice and helpful, the food is perfect and the ocean is like 3 min walking. But the most important thing is the atmosphere! Absolutely what you expect from an african beachside camp. All night chats and a very unique community you will find. 5/5

From the day you walk in to the day you leave, Sean, who is the owner, makes you feel welcome. A lovely tented camp, some with ensuite bathrooms, are very well equipped with everything you need. The rooms are serviced daily and the staff are friendly. Every morning you have a choice of 4 meals for breakfast, which was included in our rate. It is a great way to start the day. The restaurant also has a wide variety on the menu for dinners but trust me, try the prawns, best I have ever had. The camp also has a small "trust' bar, write down what you take and pay at the end of your stay. The location makes it ideal to visit the world famous Fernando's bar and also to explore the rest of Ponta. The beach is 5 minute walk away with very calm and warm ocean. Rent a quad bike and take a ride to Ponta de Malongane, you will find some interesting bars and restaurants along the way. I have stayed at various other places in the area and for the price, comfort and value for money, you will not be dissapointed. Remember, there is now a tarred road that runs all the way into Ponta do Ouro so the resort it is easily accessible from Maputo or Kosibay. 5* rating from me, looking forward to my next trip

We went down to Ponta do Oura for the easter weekend and had such a great time at devocean, they are welcoming and made our stay feel like we never even left home. The 3 course meal is one of a kind and is truely something to talk about at home.The dives were awesome, and they went the extra mile to take you the far reefs even if it was their busy time. I would most definatly go back:)!

I stayed in Devocean Lodge for three nights, in December 2018, and it was nice. The tent was comfortable, the staff was always kind and helpful, restrooms were always clean, and the location is quite good, despite the noise coming from the road and other lodges and houses. It is near the beach (10 minutes walking) and the Dolphin Center. I will surely recommend it to colleagues and friends.
