Not exceptional. The hotel was comfortable with, “no frills”. The staff was continuously working for some sort of underhanded/under the table “commissions”, “cut of the action”, with every single thing we attempted to work out with the concierge or drivers. A simple hotel car became too much and not safe for any of us. Constant manipulation of the truth, demands that the car be paid for in cash instead of the agreed on payment to the hotel. We were told the “hotel car cannot go there to that restaurant”, but I can take you privately to, another good one”. The private car shows up and not the hotel van that we hired. We were denied being brought completely back to the hotel because the “hotel driver “, brought his own car and said his boss would be mad. We were only brought to the hotel next door since this driver could not enter our security gate. The entire 2 days felt like a continuous con job and the entire staff (concierge, drivers and front desk) seemed to work together to make side profits. They wasted our 2 days to enjoy Maputo and the area.
