Excellent!!!

We moved here after one night in another (more expensive) hotel, and this place is just wonderful. The rooms are nice and couzy, staff and owner are very kind. Food is great, you can have breakfast practically on the beach! Best location, service and price. Highly recommended!

Super Spot

Samara Lodge is a very nice spot, very chill and and well located in vilanculos on a very nice beach. All the team was very nice and helpful, the rooms are cleaned every day and it's really not the case in Mozambqiue! The food was good and we met a lot of cool people there. The family who holds this place are adorable, we almost cried when we left! I absolutely recommand this Lodge.
