Our stay was very disappointing, especially considering the price. Overall, this hotel offers very poor value for money. The restaurant is extremely expensive, with prices comparable to those in Europe, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. We ordered both fish and meat dishes. The fish was dry with a very tough texture, and the medium-rare meat was also overcooked and dry. While the staff are friendly and clearly try their best, many appear to lack proper training. The service is very slow. For example, some did not know how to open a bottle of wine, and a few waiters had a noticeable body odour, which is unacceptable in a restaurant setting. We also found the staff unhelpful when asking about local excursions and activities. Another major issue was the Wi-Fi. Although internet access is advertised, it barely worked throughout our stay. Looking back, we regret not spending more time in the Barra/Tofo region instead of staying here. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this hotel, as we felt it offered very poor value for the price.

Cet hôtel est juste magnifique : Chalets décorés avec gout Emplacement fabuleux Staff aux petits soins manages par Angele qui est dun professionnalisme rare

Increíble hotel su personal 100 puntos lo mejor es que la dueña está al tanto de todo además recomiendan los mejores lugares y no cobran por ello, fue una de las mejores experiencias en mis viajes realmente lo recomiendo

Beach Lodge est à taille humaine. Chalet niché dans la végétation équipé d'un mini fridge, d'une bouilloire, de la climatisation et une terrasse avec vue sur l'océan Indien (chalet A7) Un personnel aux petits soins. Un petit déjeuner complet (chaud sur demande) et un buffet pour les fruits, céréales, charcuterie, fromage, viennoiseries Un restaurant pour un snack ou diner avec une carte complète (poisson, plat vegan etc...) Une belle piscine avec vue sur l'océan, une plage propre. Une salle de jeux/TV, un shop, Propose des excursions via des partenaires locaux (Tour en bateau vers Bazaruto, Benguerre 130$ par pers incluant un déjeuner sur une plage de Benguerre + Snorkling sur le Two miles reef est à faire absolument, Visite des Red Dunes en quad 50$ par pers est bien si vous aimez vous balader dans le village sur le quad avec votre accompagnateur)

Just the pool was a bit cool but in general I loved the stay!

Our stay at Vilankulo Beach Lodge was simply unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of. The service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and always delivered with a smile, making us feel both comfortable and valued throughout our stay. One thing that truly stood out was the sense of safety and peace we experienced. It allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings without a worry, which is priceless when traveling. But what made this experience truly special were the meaningful conversations we had with Angela and Damien. Their kindness, openness, and the time they took to connect with us added a deeply personal touch to our stay. These moments went far beyond what you expect from a hotel experience—they created memories we will carry with us for a long time. A beautiful place, wonderful people, and an experience we would gladly relive. Highly recommended!

Bel établissement avec de nombreux services. Personnel très sympathique et aux petits soins.

Amazing location and hotels at the beach, great food with more complexity than just the usual grilled fish, and super friendly staff .

Our stay was lovely. The staff were super nice and kind. They welcomed us in such a warm way, as well as for the farewell. The atmosphere was great. The food was exquisite. I was there with my mom and we had a lovely time. We can only say positive and good things about the hotel and their staff. We can’t wait to come back already! Isabel & María José

A very nice hotel with lovely decor and friendly, attentive staff. The excursions are a bit expensive but worth it. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the Beach Lodge to other travelers.
