We spend four days in the Pestana Bazaruto Lodge. The beach cabins are wonderful: close to the beach, very clean, beautiful outdoor shower, our own beach chairs... The staff was excellent: everything you ask, is done with a smile. The food was excellent too: a wide variety for breakfast (cereals, pancakes, waffles, yoghurt, toast...) and a choice for lunch and... More

Bazaruto island is a magical paradise, away from the crowds. The location is absolute paradise, not to mention the amazing flight to get there. Unfortunately the hotel itself is a bit disappointing in terms of value for money. You don’t get better rooms in terms of location. However the food is average to not great. Buffet meals that are very... More

The hotel is on the wonderful Bazaruto paradise islands. If you have the time and money, this is a real treat. Expect a spacious and luxurious room, large 4 poster bed (and mosquito net) with an outdoor shower and indoor bath. The room is very clean and high quality and the maids prepare the room every morning and evening. The... More

Beautiful place for holidays, but it costs $$. The island is beautiful. Don't forget to visit paradise island (Sta Carolina). The activities and spa are a nice option to spend the day. The best beach is on the other side of the island, just 5 minutes away.

This resort is not 5 star luxury, but it comes very close to being one of the most blissful places I have visited. It is set on a tidal bay, and the sea is virtually lapping at your door. The rooms are comfortable and airconditioned and very clean! The highlight is the staff, who go out of their way to... More

We stayed here as a couple at the end of a whistlestop tour of SA for some much needed R&R but also to do some diving, given that we had heard that Bazaruto is a great place to see whale sharks. The main disapointment of the holiday is that we didnt get to go diving at all in the 6... More

This resort was definately a brain wave when my hubby was planning our honeymoon. You fly in on a tiny aeroplain from vilanculous accross the clearest most amazing water in which you can spot some devil rays, turtles and many more. On arrival we were greeting by the lovely staff and everything got put on a trackter and there we... More

Bazaruto island is amazing and the arrival by plane is an unforgettable experience. However Pestana lodge has one of the worst value for money of all our hotel experience! Rooms are very basic, food is below average (lunch a la carte are good, but the breakfast buffets and dinner buffets are terrible) and service is to the standard of a... More

The chalets are cool from the high thatch ceilings, each has a little patio and lovely bathrooms with outdoor showers. There are a lot of activities for active couples, families or friends. (Just no kids club or babysitting so better for older kids). The beach is lovely but I recommend you ask for a beachfront chalet (the others are one... More
