Paradise in the Middle of Nowhere - but close to a
The ambience could not be nicer, spectacular views, great food and excellent, friendly service. We spent four days there and I really did not want to leave. I went deep sea fishing on the hotel boat and was successful, while some French visitors went out with the official fishing boat and caught nothing. The chef prepared one of my fish in two different ways; both were excellent. If there was a fault, it was that a couple of items on the menu were not always available.

Beautiful Boutique Hotel
This was a beautiful and clean hotel with very friendly staff and excellent views. It was more beautiful than the pictures shown. The room was more than spacious with a private pool and patio. The restaurant was good with a nice variety of options. The staff was helpful with excursions and I would recommend going to the islands and village tour. The massage was the best massage I have ever experienced. Highly recommended.

Don't look further, this is where you want to stay
Just stay here, you won't regret it. I went with the reviews and it was more than worth it. It has what you need if you want adventure and the tranquility if you just want to relax. The food is great and you can go to other great restaurants nearby. The beach is great, clean and you also have islands all around for day trips. But the view from your room is the cherry on top.

Great hotel - couple of niggles with the service.
Fabulous room and hotel with excellent facilities - pool, state of the art gym, massages etc. I would really like to give it 5 stars but the service let it down a bit although everyone seems to be trying. Never anyone serving at the pool bar outside and some of the serving staff don't speak the best english so ordering food/drinks can be a bit of a challenge some of the time. Don't let that put you off through - these are easily resolved things that I am sure they will sort out. The hotel itself is fabulous and the room and the view is to die for.

Has all you need to make your trip memorable. Great location; attentive staff; good range of activities; superb restaurants nearby (eg Casa Rex; Donna Ana) and serves the BEST cappuccino in town. Wifi is patchy but WIP! I wld certainly return.

The best place in Vilankulo!
We were there for honeymoon in July 2015 and it was just perfect !!! The staff is lovely, the place is top and the view wonderful !! It was paradise and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great swimming pool, a lovely staff, and excellent massages and outside activities. Out honeymoon is memorable thanks to them.

Beautiful rooms and resort, lovely week. Be sure to take a Dhow trip to the island and horse ride on the beach.. Highlights of our trip. Thanks to the lovely waitstaff who greeted us so warmly every day and Louanna for all her assistance. Be aware there is nowhere to change Aussie dollars in vilankulos.

Superb service, stunning setting, beautiful hotel
The service was flawless with staff super attentive to our needs, our questions, and our requests. The hotel only has 12 rooms so there’s a lovely sense of intimacy. The rooms are beautifully decorated with very tasteful items, they have a lot of light coming through and an feeling of openness with the stunning view of the sea and the French doors on two of the walls of the room. Our room also had a veranda with chaises that were handy on evenings when we sat out and looked at the stars while smoking cigars and drinking beer. The hotel arranges all transfers to and from the airport – which I think it’s always a nice add-on as it takes away the hassle of sorting transport in a foreign country. We had dinner once in the hotel restaurant and it was very good too although we also tried others outside of the hotel. Continental breakfast is included but if you want eggs or bacon, there are extra charges. Overall, super satisfied and we would recommend without reservations.
