Machangulo Beach Lodge

All the staff were wonderful. Everyone is diligent, warm, kind and accommodating.

Beautiful location. Many activities.

The lodge is at a beautiful location, the food is great and staff very friendly

Compared to a few years ago, the range of services has been unfortunately reduced

Excellent location only 1 hour from Maputo. Good rooms and attentive staff.

The boat transfers to get there are extremely expensive. $80 US dollars each way per person which adds a significant cost to the trip

A pearl nestled among the dunes. Watch the sun rise over the Indian Ocean or the sun set with Maputo in the distance. Staff is fantastic and always available to assist. Food was great. The villas are secluded and the views from the terrace is spectacular. We’re definitely coming back!

Great location, wonderful staff, fantastic family holiday.

Not enough vegetarian options

Decoration was nice, view nice , clean room

Food was limited and not coffee espresso machine.Towels not smelled clean

The location is amazing... Great walks to do on the beach wihtout meeting anyoneThe view from the rooms is stunningThe staff is extremly nice

This is a hidden gem. I have been to beaches and lodges in Asia before and nothing, absolutely nothing compares to the wonderful Machangulo beach. In the lodge, the staff is 10/10 (all speak English and Portuguese fluently), the food is AMAZING and the suites are PERFECT. I recommend doing the activities the lodge offers, specially snorkeling -- I felt as if I was inside the little mermaid movie seeing all these wonderful creatures under the sea. Paulo, the guide is super amazing. If you are not confident enough, he holds your hand throughout, but he makes sure that you get the experience which you paid for. I cannot wait to return to the Machangulo Beach Lodge. All the best to Mr. Jose and all of his team.

This is a place to go when you need to rest and rejuvenate. The resort is serene. The low number (10) of chalets at the resort make is very private and the service is great. The staff is ready and excited to help. The food is good.The thicket make the chalets almost hidden from each other. There is no noise at then resort so you can hear the ocean waves 24/7. The view to the ocean is beautiful. The stairway from the beach to the chalets and everything in between helps with some physical exercise ? though its painful ?.

I like everything except I am not sure if any of the chalets are accessible by wheelchairs though and this could be a disadvantage if a person has a physical disability

We liked everything about the lodge. The service was amazing and the staff very friendly. The food was excellent with a different selection of food everyday. The rooms were cleaned everyday and at night while we were having supper they could come and opne the net around our bed. We felt like royalty. I would rate this resort six stars!

There's nothing we didn't like.

The location is spectaular: quiet, away from the hustle and bustle and amazing views. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious: good portions and so tasty and fresh.

The communication from the lodge regarding logistics: how to get there, if by self-driving, then making guests aware that there is a 'shuttle' boat avaible at an additional cost as it is not possible to drive to the lodge. If flying in from Maputo, then then there is a boat transfer available at an additional cost.

Beautiful quiet place, relaxed and plenty of space

Perhaps better food choices? More written information about activities

Lovely rooms, exceptionally kind staff, incredible location, varied well organised activities, good food and drinks, well organised

Some minor repairs are in order

the location is awesome

the food is terrible, the facilities are not great

We liked the employes. The food and the programs.

In the bathroom theres some small hole on the roof where the insects and lizards can pass trough.

The place was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. The lodge is more beautiful than the pictures depict. The food was quite good and staff were all very friendly. Thank you!

lovely location with quiet unspoiled beaches. friendly adaptable staff. small enough to make friends with the other guests.also really enjoyed the activities on offer

Fantastic staff, location, food & facilities.

The location if this Lodge is fantastic and the views are gorgeous. The staff is very helpful and takes care of your needs well. Room are spacious, bed comfortable and the shower are fantastic. Our room had two showers: one indoor and one outdoor with fantastic views of the water. They do your room twice. Free tea/coffee in the room and also free drinking water in the room everyday. Breakfast and dinner was included in the room rate and both were fantastic. The hotel offers several activities, so there are plenty of options. We loved the lunch picnic on the beach and the snorkeling.

Bulky pillows, safe didn't work in our room ( it wasn't necessary).

Such an awesome place so close to Maputo is mind boggling.The lodge food is top drawer.Views from rooms is stunning.Good activities.Cant wait to get back.

No Cold Fresh Water Shower when exiting the beach and entering the lodge.This would add a lot of value.
