Pleasant accommodation, good food. A bit noisy

This eco lodge is a very well organized and quite kept place. It's intimate and nice and tropical at the same time. The food in the restaurant is delicious. One downside is that if you are a light sleeper then there are a lot of noises kicking off at 5-6 AM from the main road. All in all it's a very nice place to stay in Ponta Do Ouro

Comfortable garden hotel

Comfortable garden hotel mostly of tents, but I had a well-outfitted chalet room. Mosquitos were a problem during the night; a mosquito net is recommended over the bed. Abundant breakfast in the morning was included. Honor system drinks bar.

Outstanding experience

We only stayed for 4 nights - unfortunately! We had a fantastic time in Ponta. Sean explained is everything we need to know at arrival and was always around if we needed some information. The breakfast was outstanding!!! But most, that people and the area are just fantastic. We will come back soon and explore more of the beauty of Mozambique ❤️
