This hotel have nice and modern rooms. The service needs to improve and some of the staff need training to increase their performance. The food is great, specially the sea food. The gym fees are extremelly expensive for the small space they have. The pool is nice and have good size. Besides this weak points, we had a great time... More

Stayed here for business on a colleagues recommendation. More suitable for a family of holiday makers than for business. It claims for stars, but feels more like three!! The rooms are functional and simple but the beds are hard and uncomfortable. The bathroom was ridiculously small and poorly designed...you have to enter the bath from the back!!! My TV was... More

Firstly for the price a traveller should be entitled to far better everything! The food and service in the main lounge is really shocking. One can wait ages for the meal to arrive and more often than not when it does it more closely resembles hostel rather than hotel food. The accommodation section (This hotel is laid out more in...

Good restaurant service and SPA. I traveled with my family (husband and sons) and we had a good time. Unfortunately my son had an eye irritation and ear pain because of the swiming pool. And when the doors are open in the afternoon, a lot of mosquitos come into the rooms. Besides this, the service on the restaurant was very... More

I had a reservation there (made by a client) stayed one night and left for the Polana (an amazing hotel btw). The indy village is revolting. Dirty gym, terrible fried oily food and exceptionally unfriendly staff. I wasn't treated as a guest but rather like some vagrant. The gym needs a clean. The spa too! The pool was chemical and...

This is not so much a hotel as chalets. Some times this can be nice, but it also means you nee to walk outdoors whenever you want to get food, go to reception etc. A right nuisance i'm sure in the summer months Got to keep in mind TIA, so service, cleanliness and facilities are not necessarily to the same...

This hotel is priced as a luxury hotel. However, the rooms are old and pretty basic, but what really makes it a really unpleasant experience is the service. The staff is very unfriendly (sometimes verging on being rude or bossy!); the service at the restaurant is extremely long (count at least 30min for a salad and a beer - if... More

we stayed 2 nights at the Girassol Indy Congress. When we entered the room I felt being back in the 80's. I was not overly keen on the rooms interieur neither of the TV. Toilet was broken and a few other things didn't work. It's a small fridge in the room but you cannot use it as it's looked. The... More

We stayed two nights on our holidays - August 2012. The rooms are nice. It is a business hotel, or at that time, it was with a lot of business people because of the Fair of Maupto. The breakfast was good. The location is good - near the centre and best restaurants in Maputo.

We stayed on a business trip in July as a last resort when we couldn't get in to the Polana. Basically just a very average hotel, charging big prices due to the lack of accommodation options in Mozambique. The whole hotel is a compound style and felt safe enough, but that was about the only positive. The room had a... More
