7.8/10 Good! (18 reviews)
Wildly overpriced for what it is. Nice bed. Lovely view. Would be great for a family wanting to cook, but I was on business and could not find anything else. Ocean unswimmable. However, lovely beach and dunes. One of these great ideas hotels that lost steam in the 1990s.

Rua Marginal Xai-Xai Gaza Province
Good value for money
We have been offered a big room instead of the house. As we only stayed one night, we accepted and had wifi in the room. Comfort simple but very goof value for price. Do not take the breakfast relatively expensive and oily for the price.
