Best family owned lodge in Vilankulos!
Pros:

Super well maintained, great environment with a fantastic pool and really friendly and professional staff.
All the food in the restaurant is really tasty - from giant lobsters, to meat… good quality, quick service and good presentation.
Breakfast is also super complete!

Booked for five nights. Left after two!! I think that says it all.
Pros:

Looks good in photos and grounds were well maintained but our room was just awful.

Cons:

Exceedingly hard bed. Only one pillow each and such a small blanket that it didn’t work for two people. Only a bedside light on one side of the bed and terrible harsh ceiling lights. The light outside our door was broken. Broken soap dish in shower, broken shower head, broken toilet roll holder - so maintenance was really bad. One tea bag provided day one and nothing after that. Noisy location and the beach is across a road which does not show in the photos. Broken beer bottles all over the beach itself. The owner lives next door and all of Sunday they were sanding some old furniture with an electric sander and the noise was awful! No consideration of the guests trying to have a tranquil day by the pool. I rarely complain and understand that hospitality is a difficult business but I would not recommend this place at all.
My husband and I both came away with upset stomachs.
The only good part were our two very nice waiters.

Endroit calme et agréable pour se détendre.
Pros:

Ce sont huit bungalows individuels. Hotel très bien entretenu. Chambre spacieuse et propre. Petit-déjeuner complet.

Cons:

Seulement une chaîne de télévision. Mis à part la plongée dans les îles, pas grand chose à faire à Vilankulo qui est un gros village. Si besoin de conseils, allez au centre d'information touristique. On y est bien reçu et ça m'a été utile.

Estancia acogedora
Pros:

Lo que más nos gustó, sin lugar a dudas, fue el personal del hotel. Hicieron nuestra estancia muy agradable, además de mi cumpleaños.

La ubicación es estupenda, cerca del aeropuerto y de la playa al mismo tiempo. Además la comida del restaurante estaba muy rica.

El hotel es súper acogedor y lo recomendamos sin duda.

Cons:

Me hubiese gustado que el colchón hubiese sido un poco más cómodo.

Pros:

Staff molto gentile e disponibile, sempre con il sorriso. Camere sempre pulitissime, con cambio lenzuola ed asciugamani regulari. Ottimo il ristorante dell'albergo: cibo di qualità a buon prezzo!

Cons:

Da migliorare la velocitá del servizio durante la colazione. Servizio abbastanza lento. Se dovete partire al mattino presto per immersioni o escursioni consiglio di prenotare la colazione per la sera prima, e il problema viene risolto

The shower smelt like metal which I really didn’t like but other than that my stay was amazing
Pros:

There’s breakfast is always really good and filling. The room is always clean

The showering water smells like metal which isn’t something I enjoyed. There’s no other way around it unfortunately but everything else is amazing.

Tiene potencial, pero mucho caos
Pros:

La habitación era amplia, los exteriores son muy bonitos, está frente al mar, tienen restaurante y estaba limpio.

Cons:

Las sábanas olían mal, mucho a humedad, la cama chirriaba un moton y el colchón no era lo más cómodo. Además, a partir de las 6 de la mañana había muchísimo ruido de animales, obras.
