“Perfect stay in Vilanculos”
+Exceptionally clean, perfectly manicured gardens, crystal clear pool, great breakfast , room cleaned daily, restaurant for dinner on premises
−Just a suggestion: excursion timing is based on tides, thus some pickups are 7-7:30 am, breakfast “ begins” at 7:15, Telvina should allow early start to breakfast if reserved night before, they did offer fruit and sandwich to put in our refrig night prior and we could feed ourselves in the am

“Secluded lodge on beachfront”
+Beautifully secluded lodge even though right on the seafront. Friendly staff, lovely pool, great restaurant on site.
−Mattress is a little hard, but not a huge problem

“Best family owned lodge in Vilankulos!”
+Super well maintained, great environment with a fantastic pool and really friendly and professional staff. All the food in the restaurant is really tasty - from giant lobsters, to meat… good quality, quick service and good presentation. Breakfast is also super complete!

“Booked for five nights. Left after two!! I think that says it all.”
+Looks good in photos and grounds were well maintained but our room was just awful.
−Exceedingly hard bed. Only one pillow each and such a small blanket that it didn’t work for two people. Only a bedside light on one side of the bed and terrible harsh ceiling lights. The light outside our door was broken. Broken soap dish in shower, broken shower head, broken toilet roll holder - so maintenance was really bad. One tea bag provided day one and nothing after that. Noisy location and the beach is across a road which does not show in the photos. Broken beer bottles all over the beach itself. The owner lives next door and all of Sunday they were sanding some old furniture with an electric sander and the noise was awful! No consideration of the guests trying to have a tranquil day by the pool. I rarely complain and understand that hospitality is a difficult business but I would not recommend this place at all. My husband and I both came away with upset stomachs. The only good part were our two very nice waiters.

“The shower smelt like metal which I really didn’t like but other than that my stay was amazing”
+There’s breakfast is always really good and filling. The room is always clean
−The showering water smells like metal which isn’t something I enjoyed. There’s no other way around it unfortunately but everything else is amazing.

+L'emplacement près de la plage. Le personnel, la chambre est faite chaque jour, le cadre et la piscine
−Les matelas don't les ressorts rentraient dans le dos ! Le petit déjeuner avec des produits bas de gamme, café en poudre, saucisses industrielles ..7
