The breakfast was great, although the staff was not very helpful. They were very impatient and didn’t offer any tea or coffee at the table.

Cons:

The service given by the staff at the restaurant

Pros:

The location is perfect and the staff is very very friendly and helpful. Safe parking for your vehicle on the grounds is a bonus.

Pool overlooking the ocean was brilliant and although it was raining a bit you could walk directly onto the beach.

Breakfast was a spread and so much to choose from. Worth every sent.

Cons:

Aircon was not working and dripping the whole time on the floor, making the carpet wet so the room smelled stuffy and wet.

Opened the window for fresh air, but with nou Mosquito Nets that did nit work very well.

The beach is not what you’d expect. We ended up driving out of Maputo to look for better beach site.

Best attention to details.
Pros:

The staff were simply the best. The beach is at your door step. Food was amazing and a well equipped gym.

Cons:

Pool closes at 18:00 and there was never any reasonable explanation for this ridiculous policy. Like most of the time the only time to swim is in the evening because during the day the sun is basking hot.

Kids are not well catered for. A kids play area or something to keep the kids entertained will do a world of a difference.
