Riads in Mozambique

"REVIEW FOR: VIP Guest Hotels ROOM: Approx 46 sq m / 500 sq ft PICTURES: Accurate, though lobby has changed a bit INTERNET SPEED: 10-20 Mbps, some floors are better than others WORKING SPACE: Dining room table or using laptop from chaise LOCATION: Nice central location, 5-10m from beach or 5-10m to downtown VIEW FROM MY ROOM: Nice panoramic view of the city SAFETY: Very safe PARKING: Across from hotel there is a free and secure parking lot with 24hr manned security. BONUS: Someone will typically be available to wash your car if desired (for a fee of course) NOISE: Nothing notable LENGTH OF STAY: 3-4 weeks across a few different rooms STAFF: Very responsive and accommodating. ADDITIONAL: I'm allergic to dust, and something in a couple rooms triggered my allergies pretty severely. I'm guessing the sofa/pillows/bug screen. After a deep clean my allergies subsided."

"Villas do Indico was everything I hoped: quiet, relaxed, good food, in a beautiful location. However, you should note that the hotel is 8km from town. I was happy to run/walk along deserted beaches most days to get to town/kite surfing. I then took a ride back. If you are taking rides both ways -- which are charged at around US$20 -- you will run up a substantial transport bill. You have to travel in a 4*4 as the last 3km are unpaved/sand. You can do this cheaper on the back of a motorbike but everyone says it is seriously dangerous.| I also had a small issue with the Internet connection having to be renewed each day. Nonetheless, it is a great location if you want peace. Walking north from the hotel is even quieter and more beautiful than going south. Final tip: I took some 'barefoot' running shoes and they were great on the beach. Take up almost no room in your bag but provide enough protection for running and against razor clams when in the sea -- these are fairly common and can give a bare foot a bad cut when dragged across one.
