The lodge is recovering from the last cyclone that went through Vilanculos. We had a great time, despite a few cosmetic issues that they were working on whilst we were there. The lodge is 10km from Vilanculos and quite remote, which means that you are not harrassed by vendors on the beach, which is fantastic; but it also means that you have to have a 4x4 to go anywhere or hire a transfer. The chefs at the lodge are excellent and able to conjure up delicious dishes from locally sourced fresh fish and other produce. Mario, Reuben and John were on point in the waitering department and Anyway was extremely resourceful at front desk. All the staff and the owner Dona Anna were extremely welcoming to our family and looked after our toddler with great patience and care. On the activities side, do not miss a trip to the islands with Steve in his powerboat Malambo, he was an exceptional guide on the water. Together with his wife Ninon and the deck hand/chief spotter Alex, they made our trip unforgetable with three Dugong and one Turtle sightings in the space of half an hour - with great respect being shown to the marine life, not crowding or harrassing them. Lunch on Benguera, walking in the dunes on Bazaruto with all the pink crabs and swimming in pristine ocean waters made this boat trip a true highlight of our holiday.
