Pleasant overnight stay on our trip to Mozambique. Food good.
Nice place
Calamari was overcooked to epic levels. Sent it back and got another fish instead, as that was the best dish we'd had. Still charged for the calamari. When I asked to speak to the manager, the waiter simply said no I can't and walked away 🤔. Prawns also very mediocre. Much better places to spend your day further up top of the lagoon. Pity, as aesthetically its a lovely and very central spot
I can't speak for the rest of the campsite, as it looked OK. However, we were placed in what seemed to be a makeshift campsite. The power was overhead cables placed in a tree 30m from our spot and the ablations were 100m away. To get to the ablations we had to walk through building rubble and glass. Our site was at an angle, which made setting up camp difficult and it was situated next to the main road and a bar. Quad bikes racing up and down the road throughout the road. We paid the same for this spot as the others, though we were dealt a bad hand. Wouldn't stay there again, though there are many other campsites in Bilene which I would stay in.
Very good place to be, calm and peaceful
Beautiful place to relax and unwind
Great inexpensive place for camping. There are also chalets available. There are electricity points at each campsite but no taps so bring containers for water. Ablusions are a bit outdated and need renovations. There are helpers available for dishes, general cleaning up of the campsite etc for a fee. Safe and secure.
Staff very friendly and the rooms were very clean. There is a huge language barier as Portuguese is their first language. You need to understand Portuguese to communicate with the locals
Tranquilo e limpo
Reasonable price and quality
Staff friendly and helpful. Place needs TLC, especially the camping site bathrooms.
Beautiful beach with stunning views of the surrounding area and sea. Air-conditioning in cabins on main beach were a life-saver. The staff were always friendly and extremely helpful. If you are keen on experiencing the local flavours and markets, kindly ask one of the helpers in the yellow shirts to assist, they will get much better prices at the markets for fish, prawns and beer. They also clean and make food, much nicer and fresher than the restaurants. Complexo Palmeiras is ideal for families, as the waves are calm. Keep in mind that the beach caters for water sports, so do not expect to see coral and reefs for snorkeling. Our room was cleaned daily by staff. Safety is NOT a problem here and you have nothing to fear. It can be a bit intimidating for first-time travelers to Mozambique, but the locals are friendly and helpful. Learning a few Portuguese words is almost essential, as nothing is available in English.
Beautiful beach view. Didn't enjoy they expresso coffee but I hear that the calamari is delicious Not too sure about accommodation either. I and it's a private beach and the entrance is about 3usd per person
