"Wir hatten eine der zwei grösseren Räume gebucht mit kleinem Splash Pool. Sehr zu empfehlen da man etwas mehr Privatsphäre hat. Die Aussicht auf die Lagune ist einmalig. Fantastischer riesiger Pool, tolle Lage. Das Piri Piri Chicken ist eines der besten das wir in Mozambique jemals gegessen haben, der Seafood ist ok aber das Frühstück ist miserabel"
