Cheap hotels in Vilanculos

The bungalow had a great bed, excellent shower with lots of hot water, very new and very clean. The staff went all out to make sure our stay was wonderful. The owner provided airport pickup and drop off and waited over an hour for us due to visa issues. The breakfast was always good, huge plate of fresh fruit, fresh juice, coffee and made to order omelets. I would definitely stay at Telvina again.

Wonderful owners and staff. Good food. Comfortable room. Very nice stay.

Very friendly and helpful staff, food was good and the boat tour we booked was really nice and well organized.

Casa Cabana Beach Lodge was perfect for us. Rob was very communicative, especially with the protests going on at the time of our visit, which was reassuring. Bobo met us at the airport and took good care of us during our visit. He arranged for us to do a day tour to Bazaruto, etc with Sunset Dhow Safari. We were in standard room #3 and were very happy to be in the room instead of one of the cottages. It also had a queen bed. It was more private and we had the whole garden area in front of our room. The room was spotless, was very large and tastefully decorated with local handicrafts. The bed was super comfortable with the softest sheets ever! The patio was lovely for having morning coffee and relaxing in the afternoon. All the staff were very helpful and attentive. Breakfast was very good with homemade bread and eggs to order. We also ended up eating 2 dinners there as well. The grilled fish was delicious. We also enjoyed walking into the village which was a bit long. You can also take a tuk-tuk (chopela). If walking, walk the road the entire way or the beach, with slight detour, the whole way. Do not try to cut over half-way because the “roads” on Google Maps are tiny winding foot trails. We preferred walking along the beach and swimming at the beach in front of Telvina Beach Lodge Restaurant. We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Cabana and would return if in the area. Thank you!

Great location.

The Villas were spacious with plenty of room for our family of 5. We Loved the balcony and view of the sea from our villa. Also, the villas and rooms were beautiful crafted, showing real craftsmanship in carpentry and design. Boat trips to the islands with snorkeling and lunch was definitely a highlight! Sailing on the Dhow with Capitan Eddy was also lot of fun, he taught our kids about traditional sailing techniques and let them take turns piloting the boat which our kids loved! Lunch on these trips was excellent. Kitchen is well equipped for self catering but there is also a restaurant option that is basic but filling and affordably priced. Beds were super comfortable and bathrooms neat with ample hot water.

We travelled as a family of 4 and stayed at Archipelago in a sea-view casa for 3 nights. What an excellent place. The staff could not have been more helpful, the location at south beach was perfect, the accommodation was great, and the gardens were a beautiful bonus. The kitchen was well stocked, although we ate at the Sand Dollar restaurant on-site throughout. The food and service here were excellent, with the view of the beach and sea outstanding. The casas are well-spaced and really very good indeed in terms of size and quality. Only one other casa was occupied during our stay, which meant that the pool and restaurant were pleasantly quiet. At busier times it would be reasonable to expect more company in communal areas. Overall we loved it.

I liked everything! the amazing view and being close to the water front was top! The bed was confortable, the linen and towels clean, there was hot water and slept with the sound of the waves. Pedro the owner is a wonderful host, who helped us with any question or need we had. Pedro speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish and a bit of French. The food is fresh and delicious. Perfect place to chill and and enjoy with the locals and the tourists. Instead of being solely among tourists like in other lodges.
