We really enjoyed the pools at the lodge. My kids swam there the whole day, every day of our stay. The rooms were excellent and very functional. We enjoyed the restaurant food as well. Juan is an amazing chef. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. The owner even took us to the airport on our final day. The staff arranged everything we needed including the boat trips to the island. My kids loved bazaruto island and the lunch was amazing. Telvina outperformed our places we visited whilst we were there including other restaurants we ate at. Telling is excellent place to holiday with family.

This hotel is truly wonderful. Everything is absolutely spotless, the facilities are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the whole property is incredibly well maintained. You can tell how much care and attention goes into every detail. And then there is the breakfast — simply exceptional. There is a fantastic buffet with an amazing variety of options, but you can also order freshly prepared dishes à la carte, which makes the experience even better. We also had dinner at the hotel several times, and the food was excellent. We especially remember one evening when we had an exceptional crab soup — one of those dishes that you keep thinking about even after leaving. I would especially like to mention Raquel, a Spanish member of the staff who made our stay even more special. She was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our entire stay, always there whenever we needed anything. She gave us great advice about excursions, helped us organise tours, and even advised us on prices and whether we were being offered a fair deal. The hotel really takes care of everything. They can organise excursions, help with transfers, and they even arrange transportation back to the airport, making the whole stay completely effortless. I have travelled extensively around the world, but I have never experienced anything like this hotel. I have never seen a place where guests were actually crying when it was time to leave. On our transfer back to the airport, there were Italian guests, French guests and ourselves in the same car — and every single couple was crying because we were leaving. I have honestly never experienced anything like it. That says everything about this place. It is not just a beautiful hotel; it is a true paradise, with wonderful facilities, exceptional service and, above all, people who genuinely make you feel at home. We would return in a heartbeat.

The room was beautiful, aircon worked well, hot water was working fine, toilet is large and clean. But what stood out was the hospitality of Judith, Dominic and Ecleria who made sure we were well taken care of. Location of the lodge was great, within walking distance to the beach (less than 3 min!) and eateries. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe to walk around even at night. The fresh coconut literally plucked from the coconut tree in front of us was a plus! Breakfast was simple but fresh. Loved the fruits! Don’t be worried if you don’t see too many reviews, this place is a true hidden gem

It's a very nice backpackers' place with a cool vibe where everyone's sitting down together for breakfast and hang out with each other. Staff and owner is very nice, view is beautiful, we enjoyed our stay here a lot.

Other than the beautiful day trips to the islands, it was an underwhelming Honeymoon Experience when comparing the price-to-experience ratio to other stops on our South Africa itinerary. It did not feel good value and it fell short of expectations.

It's a beautiful beach destination, unfortunately the first 3 days we stayed at Dona Ana which was disguting and did not enjoy. We moved out to another beach lodge and thoroughly enjoyed the balance of our stay.

Vilanculos and the islands in the area is a fantastic place! It is a peaceful place (I was there out of season), and the people are really friendly. You always feel safe, even when walking around in the evenings.

South of the Dona Ana hotel, a large hotel on a peninsular, is a 5km stretch of wondeful beach. White soft sand at high tide, 200 metres of golden sand when the tide is out. Not the best for swimming ut there are some comfortable small pools as the tide goes out. No sunbeds and umbrellas here, just local fishermen going about their business. A couple of small low key nice hotels offering beach front accommodaion and food. North of the Dona Ana the beach is less tidal, several larger more modern hotels with very nice restaurants. but the beach is not as pretty with seaweed sometimes and broken shells meaning walk with sandals not barefoot.

Typical of Mozambique.

Typical of Mozambique. It's a poor area so if you are prepared for rural surrounds you will not be disappointed. Locals are friendly and the lodge took us shopping for provisions as and when we needed it. Great place to relax. Super diving, snokelling, fishing and swimming. Very close to the islands.

Definitely recommend. It's a beautiful place.

Definitely recommend. It's a beautiful place. Vilanculos is very laid back, natural and authentic. The beaches are amazing, delicious local food and some great outdoor activities to do. Visiting the islands like Bazaruto is highly recommended. These areas are truly pristine and the snorkeling along two mile reef is awesome. I would say more or less 6 days is enough time in the area. We went in September (not in season) and sometimes it would just be us on the beach with one or two other people.
