Marracuene Spa Hotels

"Beautifully located hotel. You even local foreigners coming in just for Sunday breakfast, so it must be popular. Some of the decor looked a little in need of some love and attention, but overall a beautiful elegant property."

"Not exceptional. The hotel was comfortable with, “no frills”. The staff was continuously working for some sort of underhanded/under the table “commissions”, “cut of the action”, with every single thing we attempted to work out with the concierge or drivers. A simple hotel car became too much and not safe for any of us. Constant manipulation of the truth, demands that the car be paid for in cash instead of the agreed on payment to the hotel. We were told the “hotel car cannot go there to that restaurant”, but I can take you privately to, another good one”. The private car shows up and not the hotel van that we hired. We were denied being brought completely back to the hotel because the “hotel driver “, brought his own car and said his boss would be mad. We were only brought to the hotel next door since this driver could not enter our security gate. The entire 2 days felt like a continuous con job and the entire staff (concierge, drivers and front desk) seemed to work together to make side profits. They wasted our 2 days to enjoy Maputo and the area. "

"Clean large beautiful room on the 8th floor. I paid 170US for one night. View of the ocean was great. There was a Chinese grocery store nearby that had many items and in particular oatmeal. The hotel was 100m from my bus pick up point at Mundos which was great since the pick up time was 530am. Though i didn't need it, the doorman brought my bag to the cheetah express bus pick up point down the street. It gave me confidence i was in the right place as I'm traveling alone and new to the area."
