Villas do Indico Eco - Resort & Spa Lodge ★★★★

📍 Parcela 32, Chigamane, Vilanculos

"In need of urgent maintenance, it is a beautiful place but the conditions leave a lot to be desired. There are a lot of things missing... more varied food, breakfast is very poor, there are no basic necessities such as a simple Band-Aid, there is no shampoo, There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms and what is available at the reception is very weak and you always have to ask to connect...etc etc. I really needed someone capable of driving The lady is very helpful but that's all there is to it There is a lot to to do"

AsDunas Lodge
10 (41 reviews)

AsDunas Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Bairro Chigamane, Vilanculos

"asDunas Lodge was our final stop on our Honeymoon and what a place to end our incredible trip. This place is really special, creating an intimate culture for couples while simultaneously creating a space for people from all over the world to connect with each other and each and every staff member. Starting with the friendly and complimentary airport pick up, we were welcomed with a refreshing cocktail and lunch, with the most incredible view across the ocean. Our lodge room was beautifully appointed, and with your own private terrace and pool, it really does feel like your own piece of paradise for however long you choose to stay for. We stayed for 7 nights and wanted to stay for much longer, this place really gets under your skin. The food was simply stunning - each night you're treated to a 5 course tasting menu filled with Mediterranean and local flavours, incredibly clever touches by the local head chef, the most attentive service and a wonderful wine selection. the homemade pasta courses were a particular highlight for us! The lodge managers also organised two day long boat trips for us, to visit the Islands and go snorkelling on the reefs. This was slick and the local operators really make the days worth it. Finally, the staff - to each and every person working there, thank you so much. Your kindness, friendly and warm demeanour and desire to connect with every guest was truly special and we feel so lucky to have met them all. We can feel a return visit for an anniversary being on the cards in the future."

Casa Babi
9.8 (40 reviews)

Casa Babi ★★★★

📍 R. Do Palacio, Vilanculos

"My partner and I went to Casa Babi for a week in September. We wanted a relaxing holiday away from Zambia, but also a place we could enjoy some activities we love. Casa Babi was the perfect place for us. The food was amazing, the tiny details from the cheese and bread at breakfast, to the options for starters, mains and deserts at dinner. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, could always give us the best recommendations on what to do. The view from Casa Babi was amazing, situated right on the beach you can wake up to the sunrise on the ocean. The amenities in the room were also amazing, from the coconut oil to the shampoo and conditioner. Casa Babi is very central, so my partner and I could go to lunch at other lodges if we wanted something different. He was able to fish for the day and I was able to horse ride without any issues. Casa Babi is right next to the dive shop Odyssea, which was very convenient to walk to early in the morning before my dive There are dogs at this lodge, they are very friendly and go about their day in the sun enjoying the view. Brownie is adorable and playful. Thank you for hosting us, we will be back!"

Hotel Dona Ana ★★★★
"My son ordered a prego from the restaurant at about 11.30 in the morning. It looked good, but after only one bite into the prego, he was so sicked by the food that he could eat no more. The meat was cold, the bread was wet and soggy. He was so put off the meal and lost confidence in the restaurant that he could not eat the chips, or salad, or even finish the coco cola, worried that the ice may be bad. We complained to the waiter but he could do nothing without the Manager's approval, we we paid and left. We had intended to return for a meal, while we stay in Vilanculos, but this experience was so bad, that we will not and feel we should warn others who may consider eating there."

Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel ★★★★
"Our 5 night stay at Bahia Mar following 2 weeks safari and exploring was amazing. Such a beautiful place to relax and recharge with great food, exceptional service and lovely modern rooms. We travelled with friends and had neighbouring rooms, both with sun loungers and sea view and helpfully had a gate between our terraces so that we could share space. Would recommend room 4A for the biggest terrace!"

Villas do Indico Eco - Resort & Spa Lodge ★★★★
"Sadly this place is in serious need of maintenance. Photos are misleading as this is what the place probably looked like a few years back. Staff was great and food. Cannot fault it and Mario tried his best. Decided to leave after one night…very sad."

AsDunas Lodge ★★★★★
"Thank you very much Chelsie and all the staff. What a sweet and wonderful people all of you were! What a perfect room our villa was! What a delicious and beautiful meals they were! What a "never forget in our life" lunch excursion you arranged for us! What a magical place asDunas was! What a too short 3 nights' stay it was! Chelsie, What an excellent job you have done for us! From the first contact till the end of our stay, your quick, professional, so detailed helpful instructions, courteous, always smiling, friendly, funny, SO considerate, loving, etc,etc. made our stay beyond our high expectations and worth to travel to Mozambique. With all of the above you have done for us made our stay ranked the #1 accommodation in our numerous trips we have done. The surprise farewell sing from the staff made me cry! I agree all the positive comments from other reviewers. In addition to that, I have to mention how they are considerate to the details of comforts. Pillows, lines, bathrobe were so comfy and high standard. Even it is sandy there, they keep our room always very clean and turn down service made it even better. Chelsie is the General Manager who took care of us from the beginning till the end. We have met so many great people at various hotels in a past, but she is the MVP!"

Santorini Mozambique ★★★★
"Wow, what an experience! From the moment you are collected from the airport, to leaving, Santorini make sure that this is the holiday of a lifetime. This exceeded our expectations. Our host Pedro was just wonderful, nothing was too big or too small for him, he was always happy and smiling and very knowledgeable. Samantha and Nelson were both so attentive, making sure that we could arrange activities. The private boat trip to Magaruque was a real highlight - Thomas and Domingo took such good care of us. The snorkelling was fantastic, and a private beach picnic made for such a special day. We also loved the beach within easy access, with shady spots to read whilst dipping in and out of the sea. The spa was very easy to access, with good availability for last minute massages. The sunset Dhow was also just beautiful, it was so peaceful to be floating along, looking back at the setting sun. Finally, the food! Wow, the menu was fantastic, with such fresh ingredients. The vegetable garden lunch was probably our favourite, with hanging kebabs, fresh salads and spinach rolls. We always said once in a lifetime trip, but going to Santorini just once may not be enough!"

Casa Babi ★★★★
"Not for diving. Too many conditions applied to be able to dive, just designed not to dive. Dive shop is excellent with great staff but the owners are micromanaging every step of the way. Hotel, meals friendly staff all were great. Sabrina, the owner is someone you don’t want to deal with. Anyone considering this lodge to dive- look around, there are other choices who will value your business. Also recommend reading a negative reviews and defensive responses from the owners- tells it all. They just don’t care."
