Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"We had an excellent family stay at Bahia Mar. Everything was excellent, starting with a welcoming reception at the airport and when arriving at the hotel: service, rooms, breakfast, restaurant, swimming pool and excursion. Let’s try their unforgettable draft local beers Kanimambo and Bazaruto! The garden rooms are actually much larger, nicer, equipped and modern than the sea view rooms, that large balconies but no separate bathroom, no inside couches and small cabinets."

Hotel Dona Ana ★★★★

"I recently had a pleasure of staying at Dona Ana and it was an exceptional experience, from the check in to check out. From the moment I arrived the staff was very welcoming. Overall my stay was really unforgettable. I would highly recommend this hotel."

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

"THIS RESORT IS CLOSED. TOOK OUR DEPOSIT AND WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING BACK FROM THEM SINCE JULY 2025 - THEY WERE ALREADY CLOSED LAST YEAR."

AsDunas Lodge ★★★★★

"This place is even better than all the rave reviews it has received. Let’s start with the food. I have had the good fortune to eat at excellent restaurants in many parts of the world and I cannot recall ever having such consistently creative, fresh, attractive and delicious meals as I did during our 5 day stay here. A 5 course tasting menu each night plus an amuse-bouche and not a single miss. The local chef, Jaime, draws on Italian owner Fabio’s experience to craft absolutely spectacular meals. Next the staff. To a person, they are all so friendly and helpful. I wish I could remember the names of everyone who made our stay so good, but I want to give a special word of thanks to the three people we interacted with the most — Boaventura (ever gracious, always smiling and outgoing), Filipe (who wanted to assist you in whatever way you needed it, whether it was getting up a steep sand dune at dusk, or getting you your favorite beverage) and Chelsie, the gregarious co-manager with a dry sense of humor, a quick wit and the answer to any question you might have. In addition were Celso, João, Unidécio, Jaime, the massage therapists and the housekeepers. We even had the good fortune to spend some time and have a great conversation with owner, Fabio (although his wife, Elena, was out of town.) The grounds and rooms. Most of the rooms are glamping tents with a private deck and plunge pool. A couple have solid walls. We stayed in one of the tented units and could not have been happier. We stayed comfortable in both cool and warm weather, loved the privacy afforded each room as they are spread out down sand trails among dense brush, and found our room to be very well appointed with outlets, a loaner outlet adapter, great shower and bathroom space and a very comfortable bed. From our room, we could lie in bed, look out over our pool and see the Indian Ocean with its dramatic change in appearance from low tide to high tide. Wow! The beach. The resort is set above the beach so one has to walk down a number of steps to get to it. Once there, the resort has dedicated chaises with canopies over them for its guests. The beach is a beautiful sand beach that slopes very gradually, meaning that while high tide is fairly close to shore, low tide provides lots of opportunities to walk far away from shore and explore what is ocean bottom during the high tide. Massages. You can get one daily and they are included. My wife was a huge fan of this perk. Excursions. We didn’t take any but we spoke with several other guests who did and who loved their snorkeling experiences on neighboring islands as well as their trip into town. Sunset. A walk up a somewhat steep dune to a great sunset-viewing spot is offered each evening. The staff will bring up your favorite beverage and a chair for you to sit in. I did it twice during our stay and loved it. Overall. We loved it; can you tell? Can’t wait to go back. Any caveats or drawbacks? The only one I can think of is "

Santorini Mozambique ★★★★

"What an amazing retreat. It is thoughtfully decorated with a calm and tranquil feel. The staff are all outstanding. They thought of every detail to make our stay exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious. This place is truly special. We can’t wait to go back."

Ocean Pearl Beach Lodge ★★★

Aguia Negra ★★★

"Good overall stay friendly staff and well looked after property. The food menu was very good and the food was good value for money. Unfortunately the breakfast was below average and you were charged for a cappuccino. Also when my colleague got into his room he found that his toilet was un flushed from the previous guest. "

Vilanculos Beach Lodge ★★★★

"Surpassed all expectations! This Lodge has absolutely all boxes ticked, and the restaurant serves fabulous and scrumptious cuisine. Staff is extremely helpful and all areas are impeccably maintained. The rooms are very clean and offers ample amenities."

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."
