I enjoyed my 2 weeks stay in Maputo.. in a spacious ocean facing room. Great and friendly staffs who were ready to help and provide support, clarification and guidance. To single out Chef Martin who was at my service and encouraged to sample various Cuisine. The variety was excellent. Also to acknowledge Guest Relations Julia who was daily concerned of my feedback on anything I would need done and of course her guidance on knowing Maputo. Thanks for enrolling me onto the royalty program. The gym facility was excellent and it was always refreshing to re-energize in the gym after a busy day. To everyone right from the potters, to the reception and security and everyone, I will always look forward to your reception while in Maputo

Beautiful lodge with friendly staff and delicious food

Reviewed By Céline H

My sister and I stayed for a week at the lodge. We really enjoyed the cozy rooms with the view on the ocean, the friendly and very helpful staff, as well as the restaurant. The food is really delicious and there a some very nice options for vegetarian (and vegan) guest - just be aware that it takes some times to get the food. It gives you time to relax, have a drink and look at the ocean but if you have little time to eat it's not always ideal. Loved the breakfast particularly! The room are very comfortable - I would just suggest to have something to hide during the shower (transparent shower inside of the room - not great if you want a bit of privacy). The staff was extremely kind and attentive to our needs and always with kind words, so thank you all for this. You should definitely book a massage - it was just perfect! Great place to disconnect and to real feel on holiday.

Exceptional Fitness Retreat!

Reviewed By LindaBNew

I stayed 11 nights to do an extended Fitness retreat. The workouts were demanding and yielded results, and the food and juice were delicious and so healthy! Chef Sophie excels at making healthy food flavorful! After Nelson had pushed me to my limits during the workouts, the ladies at the spa helped to 'repair' my body and make my aching muscles feel better. An amazing team of professionals that make you feel like you are part of the family!

Wonderful experience, the staff are amazing ( especially Alex ) the food was pricey but very good. The views are out of this world, and the beach fantastic. The only reason I give 4/5 , is bcoz the pool was not working, and the road to the resort is terrible.

Beach paradise with those most wonderful hosts

Reviewed By louisew895

Where to begin, our first time in Vilanculo, we can't wait to come back! From the moment we arrived at Baobab we just felt relaxed and at peace. Wonderful cabin with a view of the sea (a lot of time was spent on the hammock!). It was wonderful to step straight out onto the beach every morning and walk, have a splash in the crystal clear water. The whole area was very peaceful and clean, we were so impressed how much pride is taken to keep the beach and streets clean and without brash and tacky places The baobab peri peri chicken is so good we once ordered it twice in one day! All the food was very good, but the chicken especially (that homemade peri peri is something else - they should bottle and sell it!). The breakfast was also great and good coffee. The fresh coconuts also a lovely touch. Finally we also need to say a special thanks and congratulations on outstanding service to Rabeka. In all our years of travelling, this is a person I will especially remember as such an excellent host. Warm and friendly, so efficient, makes sure everyone has what they needs and that guests are happy, also that the staff team are also happy and know what they are doing. She was fantastic at arranging all transfers, activities for us, all so easily and with a smile. She's charming and such an asset to this place and made sure how stay was extra special

Great stay at Anantara Bazaruto resort

Reviewed By Marian V

We had a great stay at Bazaruto! The staff is very friendly and make you feel very welcome. The restaurant staff is professional and attentive (especially Albino). The food is nice with a lot of choice. During our stay we had multiple staff members a day, who knew our name, to inform if everything was OK. The rooms and premisis are beautiful and very clean. Even though the buildings in the resort are starting to become a bit outdated; but the quality of the food and staff make Bazaruto into a 5 star experience
