+Staff and lodging is good, ac works. The pool was not filled upon our arrival. Don’t buy anything from the vendors on the beach they will overcharge you by insane amounts. Walk down to the other vendors and shops for better deals.
“Tranquilo Cape Maclear”
+Fantastic staff, very quiet and confortable place. We visited most of the hotels and Airbnbs in Cape Maclear and Tranquilo was was by far one of the most clean places in the area.
“Nice and pleasant place, but vendors are annoying”
+Generally super nice and pleasant place. It does become a bit annoying and unpleasant though when vendors are constantly pursuing you to sell their boat trips and art inside the lodge.
“Good Choice”
+Great, quiet place on the water in Cape Maclear. Super friendly and helpful staff and nice rooms. Easy to arrange activities
+The lake was lovely, however, Annie's Lodge was a disappointment. - The shower was dirty - Large quantities of ants under and on the toilet seat and wash basin - The bath mat was a toilet seat cover! - Our bed was crawling with ants, and had to sleep in the spare bed I could continue...
+Decent, quiet spot on the beach. Breakfast and other food is a bit disappointing. We were almost robbed when someone entered the room in the middle of the night and we woke up just in time to chase them away - but beach-side security is definitely lacking!
+The facility is along the shore of Lake Malawi - this is the best part of the facility. Along the shore of the lake, there are a series of accommodation, but I think the beach in front of this facility is relatively cleaner than that of eastern part of the village. However, the room was old (hot shower was not available throughout my stay) and its rate is over-priced. Hotel staff are very kind and helpful. So generally I am satisfied with the stay.
+I booked the best room of the hotel. It was a big suite with two beds. They gave for us (me and my friend) two basic small room. I have booked our room to other group. I made a reclamation and we got little bit better room which was 55 USD cheeper. They offered one free dinner (18 USD). Be careful :(
+Great location, very friendly staff and the food is very nice, I strongly recommend it , it gives a true Malawi experience and is good value for the money, I will definitely come back if possible
+Fantastic location and brilliantly helpful staff. Sadly very run down even by Malawian standards. No hot water at any time and often no water at all.
