Need to work on the tip issue. Factor it on the total cost .
Hi, it was a really please to be there and enjoyed to stay with family.
The only thing i can mention here is related to the ramp near to Aloha#22 entrance has is bad no sure if is because of the rains during those day.
I understand that one of the exciting things to come there is the up and downs along the road but in that specific case there's few this to be that on the pits.
Congratulations as you are doing very good job and hope to be back soon.
regards
Amancio de Luze
The house shows some signs of wear and tear and we consider it poorly equipped overall, although it has the essentials / basics. I have already stayed in several houses in the Aloha complex and this was the least successful.Despite that, the stay went well. The satff is friendly and helpful and the location "does the rest"...
loved 22 Aloha
Consultant Review:
very helpful
Things to improve:
The Maids didnt help to bring the bags down. other than that it was top class.
They are building around the place, and it was not mentioned, before hand. A little noise. The woodwork of the entire outside place also needs some TLC.

The fact that we found the snake on the deck just made our trip very uncomfortable and I was not that happy with the view due to the bush just Infront of the view deck.If you could cut the bush it would even eliminate reptiles
Without doubt one of the favorite Lodges I stayed in Mozambique, around Ponta Ouro, Malangane and Mamoli. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff, they they are friendly. We had two great evenings here, which obviously also added up to the experience. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to be in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The swimming pool area at the end of the day was a great place to relax and appreciate the sun down and the ocean. The room are very comfortable, and the lounge and kitchen area has all the facilities you need; a true sample of excellence!
