Wonderful hotel with the restaurant that is located like a green oasis right down to the beach and the water – in the middle of central Maputo. The breakfast buffet is sumptuous – and the staff in the restaurant are all very friendly and professional – and make everyone feel welcome and at home. The coffee is the best in town (Trust me, I've tried all the others.) Incredibly nice place to start the day.

A lovely place to recover with great views over the ocean and wonderful breakfast options. There is also a gym to work out and a pool to enjoy the sun. I can surely recommend it if you are in town.

Exceptional service and food, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. George from the bar always ensured our drinks were cold and ready on arrival, breakfast staff Rafael and Aldino was just as great. Would definitely recommend.

Maputo is a big sprawling city in a very poor and a sadly under developed nation compared to other African nations we visited - so long as you do your research though and stick to advice, you should be fine. The hotel itself has an amazing location right on the beach. However when you arrive, they tell you the water isn’t safe at all and that the beach is only safe during the day. The beach is full of rubbish but otherwise looks stunning out to sea. Locals, quite naturally, use the beach for lots of things, keeping fishing boats, swimming, meeting people, sleeping etc Hotel info - Food, alcohol, friendliness of staff and cleanliness were top notch. We took a day trip to Estwantini - very well worth it. We had to leave early and could only spend 2 nights not 5. Still awaiting the promised partial refund for the later nights - not really what is expected of a modern hotel these days. This pushed me from 3/5 to 2/5 for the hotel.
