Pretty hotel in tranquil setting
We had a lovely 5 -night stay here. It is on a quiet beach in a picturesque location, though getting to it is a bit of a bumpy ride on a sandy road. However, this did not stop us from doing a number of good activities from the hotel - canoeing, diving, horse riding etc. A pleasantly memorable holiday.

Site magnifique avec vue sur la mer et belle plage. Les chambres sont d’une bonne taille et très bien décorées.
L’hôtel est à 12 Km du centre sur une route de terre nécessitant un 4x4. C’est un bon site pour une retraite isolée mais pas pour faire des activités ou marcher.
Restaurant sur place avec les prix élevés vu le manque d’autres options
Le déjeuner est très bon.
Autre point négatif: le staff travaille plus de 12 heures par jour, c’est le même personnel le matin à 7h et le soir à 22h. Il y a donc de l’abus de main d’œuvre.

Pas terrible
Trop cher, chambre avec des infiltrations d'eau plafond fenêtre.
Ne répondent jamais au messages envoyés quelques jours avant le séjour.
10 USD le petit déjeuner par personne, le chocolat chaud c'est facture en sus

Villas do Indico is a peaceful beachside haven 7-8kms north of Vilanculo. Luana and the staff were excellent - friendly, attentive & knowledgeable about the area. The rooms were perfect. Well appointed, with comfortable beds, black out curtains, the largest mozzie net we have ever seen! Sitting on the balcony watching the sea at the edge of the property was perfect.
The only slight downside was no warning on Expedia that a 4x4 was essential to access the property. The sand road from the town was challenging & we were thankful we have a high clearance vehicle. This has not put us off visiting again & we will be back!!

Paradise Understood!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Everything was done perfectly. Ana and Luis made sure that the overall guest experience was excellent. Our other host, John, made sure that all of our needs were met.
The property is away from the main city which made it all the more peaceful. When we wanted to go into town John would arrange to get us to the main connection point and would arrange for a Tuk Tuk. The room was perfectly set up with a mosquito net. The value for money was excellent. We highly recommend this place!

Vi tillbringade 8 nätter här och vi hade det bra. Det är rent och fräscht och bra variation på menyn. Dock så ligger stället helt avskilt från all civilisation och jag tycker inte om när man utnyttjar det och tar överpriser på tex. Vatten, öl och en del mat. Det var bra priser på boendet men 40-50% dyrare att äta och dricka om man jämnför med byn. Stället är annars superfint! Vill du ha en lugn oas och inte ha massa liv runt dig så är detta paradiset.

Prachtige plek met zwembad die uitkijkt over de zee. Prima cabin op het camping terrain. Nadelen, boel is slecht onderhouden dus zwembad heeft erg scherpe tegels waar mensen/kinderen zich flink aan snijden. Daarnaast is de qualiteit van het eten erg slecht en te duur voor wat je krijgt, en vaak misten ingredienten uit de gerechten die op de hoek van de straat gewoon verkrijgbaar waren. Was teleurstellend en je betaalde vooralsnog de volle prijs.
Aan te raden voor de locatie, en het vriendelijke personeel. De keuken en staat van het terrein is toe aan renovatie en meer pro-activiteit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were excellent. We received a room upgrade which was amazing. We loved the food in the restaurant, especially the grilled prawns!. We were surprised on our last night there with a special romantic dinner. The views are amazing from the property. Highly recommend!
