Guest Reviews
- Bri (10/5): - Alles Nichts
- Bliss (7/5): - La casa era bellisima e spazziosa È piovuto tanto quando siamo stato, pottroppo acqua per tutto. Non era anche colpa loro. Era dopo il ciclone.
- Rodrigo Manuel Correia (8/5): -
- nel (10/5): All the food was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly and helpfull. - All the food and drinks was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly and helpfull. We felt like not coming home. Had a wonderful stay at mango beach and will go back. The staff went out of their way to help us with anything we wanted from the market and also with things we wanted from town when we did not go into town. The cabanas and all bathrooms and the share kitchen was clean and we had everything we needed in. It was nice and quiet. We enjoyed the Survival Island as well and Santos arranged the trip for us with Maboya and we had such a good time snorkeling and also enjoyed the island and the Chief that was welcoming us. Overall it was a good experience and eye opener. nothing everything was excellent from the staff to the cabanas we stayed in. Can't complain it was just wonderful.
- Giorgio (9/5): Bellissimo posto - Rapporto qualità prezzo Zanzare tante
In camera è stata una guerra la prima notte, ho fatto disinfestare la camera ed è andata meglio
- Charmaine (9/5): -
- Bronwyn (10/5): Awesome stay. Loved ❤️ - Super friendly helpful Staff, Sam is a gem🙏🏻Good food lovely Beach❤️ Little far off the beaten track on a motorcycle 😜
- Paulo Rogerio (10/5): -
- Elizabeth (1/5): Misleading - The beach was beautiful. The facilities of our unit were not as described. The resort can't accommodate all the visitors. Eg. there were only 1 working deep freezer and 1 old, broken one (after 3 days of complaining a new one was provided), there's only 8 chairs (of which some are broken) to accommodate approximately 20 people. The property must be listed as backpackers because the toilets and kitchen must be shared with other visitors. The mesh is broken, which cause a big amount of mosquitoes in the room. Our unit was not family friendly, which caused our 4 year old to share a bed with us for 8 nights. The unit is overpriced. The kitchen is not fully equipped. When it rains, visitors only have the option to sit in the restaurant because there's no other place to sit. The description on booking.com is not correct.
- Elena (10/5): Fra le dune davanti all’oceano indiano - Posizione meravigliosa davanti all’oceano, staff accogliente, possibilità di fare massaggi, ristorante molto buono . Pulizia ..
- Saar (10/5): - All of it!
Friendly staff, private beach, clean facilities, something for everyone! Our too short stay
- Justyna (10/5): -
- Zunguza (9/5): -
- Rudolf (9/5): Tolle Lodge direkt am Meer für eine ruhige Auszeit zum Entspannen. - Die Lodge liegt direkt am Indischen Ozean. Vom Restaurant hat einen tollen Blick auf das Meer und den Sonnenaufgang. Das Lodge ist ideal für eine ruhige Auszeit. Es liegt etwas außerhalb von Tofo mit gutem Internet und gemütlichen Hängematten im Garten. Man kann selber kochen, aber das Restaurant war so ‚outstanding‘ gut, dass ich nur im Restaurant gegessen habe. Super ist ein morgendlicher Spaziergang zum Strand von Tofu (etwa 45min) bei Ebbe und Flut. Das Personal ist super freundlich und auch die Massage war exzellent.
- Duarte (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay! Sam welcomed us warmly and even came to pick us up in Tofo village.
We had booked a hut for two people without a bathroom, but to our surprise, they upgraded us to one with a private bathroom!
I had an amazing seafood pasta at the lodge restaurant, definitely a must-try! The chef was very friendly and so was the barman; both were super kind and helpful. They gave us very clear directions on how to walk to the village along the beach, which was great.
The place is absolutely beautiful! You can watch the sunset among the palm trees and the sunrise over the ocean
- Tam (10/5): -
- Jennfer (9/5): It was a short trip for us but we loved the place and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. - Nice and calm place to stay so peaceful during the night some could hear waves of water during the night and early morning birds singing. We really enjoyed and loved the place.
- ying (8/5): - 建筑风格很非洲,远离城镇非常安静,员工英文沟通无障碍。 远离城镇非常安静的弊端,就是交通不方便,必须自驾四驱或者房东接送才行,离镇上2公里的沙路啊!
- Grégory (9/5): Super endroit - Superbe endroit, logement, jardin très agréable et très calme. Personnel très sympathique et arrangeant. Le restaurant bar est vraiment bien placé pour observer les baleines et la nourriture est très bonne. Nous conseillons vivement cet endroit.
- Jacinto (10/5): Espetacular - A interação do pessoal de servico, foi fantastica. Recomendo
- Gonzalo (10/5): Wonderful place and wonferdul staff. - Wonderful place and wonderful staff. Especially Sam, a great manager. Always with a smile and a courtesy that's hard to find. Nothing.
- Giulia (4/5): Very disappointed experience - Nice view of the ocean where you can see the whales. Rooms were really dirty, common kitchen even worse, 4 days the towels never changed and same dead insects on the floor for the whole period.
Staff wasn't welcoming as from some comments I read, they didn't explain any of the activities and not even our rights (the gym, the free massage we should have had etc). More than once they were quite rude with us.
Restaurant has crazy prices, almost double than other hotel restaurants around.
- Björn (10/5): - Das Resort hat einen einzigartigen Charme: unsere Familienhütte war riesig, super sauber und mit allem eingerichtet. Vom Restaurant aus konnten wir die ganze Zeit Wale beobachten.
Am Strand waren wir einsam und ungestört.
Die Besitzer sind eine liebenswerte Familie. Die Kombination aus vorgelagerten Riff und starken Gezeiten machte es während unseres Aufenthalts nur für wenige Stunden am Tag möglich, zu schwimmen.
- Conceicao (7/5): -
- Sofie (10/5): -
- gregorio (10/5): -
- Carlota (8/5): muito bom - nao tem opçoes para quem queira comer leve como yogurte, fruta cereis nada
- Markus (9/5): Superb - Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent food at the restaurant.
- Rebecca (10/5): Lovely stay, beautiful beach & friendly staff! - We stayed in the 3 bedroom house and it was very spacious! 3 large king beds + 2 twins, great for a big group or family. The living area also had a nice area to hang out. It was very private and quiet. There is no AC, but big fans above each bed which was great. The entire house has screened windows.
The restaurant overlooks the ocean and is a great place to hang out and relax, there are a few hammocks and also a kid's playground and small dip pool. The food was great, we appreciated the variety and enjoyed things like the Thai curry. Everything is prepared fresh, so it takes time, but we liked that. The ocean in front of the resort is great as the rocks create a small shallow lagoon. Perfect for kids. The resort is very family friendly. There is even a gym for a workout!
Sam was one of the many friendly staff members who took great care of us. He drove us to/from town and helped us organize a tour. Rides to/from town during normal hours are 500 mets, but they will drive you to the Kumba Lodge for free. We walked to town many times along the beach which was beautiful, it is a 30 minute walk from the resort to the edge of town (Liquid Divers building) via the beach.
Overall we had a great stay! The hot water in the shower wasn't consistent, but I believe they run on solar and that may be why.
- Stelio (8/5): Very good - Location was great, next to beach. Nice playground for kids. Excellent food and helpful staff.
- Petrus (9/5): Superb -
- Potgieter (10/5): Mango Beach Must-Go - What an experience!
Where to start?
We were looking for affordable accommodation for a week away and stumbled across Mango Beach resort online. We love Tofo and decided to take a chance.
We arrived quite late but the manager Sam checked on us regularly throughout the drive.
We were welcomed and felt at home straight away.
Telo, our bartender had 2M ready and our holiday could begin.
The rooms are clean and serviced every day. Even though the booking site said there would be no Wifi, there was, with very good service.
My kids loved the tidal pools and later in the afternoon when the tide came in they could enjoy the waves.
This place is truly a gem.
If you are a camper at heart but don't want to take the tent or kitchen utensils this place is for you.
We will definitely be visiting again.
Thank you Sam and your team. You can be very proud of the service you offer. That we had to leave
- Sonia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect and clean, outside and view amazing Nothing
- Aurimas (7/5): Good - Everything not too bad Rooms are very dark
- Catheleen (9/5): Awesome - Mango Beach Resort meets our expectations. Restaurant and staff super, the view is the best....and the natural tidal pool for me was why i will go back again. Braai not clean every day, towels not changed during our stay
- Marriott (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (10/5): A little paradise - Everything was prefect. This was the best place we stayed in all Mozambique. A little paradise and the food was fantastic. Thanks Guys for making our stay so enjoyable.
- Midtbø (8/5): Very good - Enjoyed my relaxing stay, the staff are really nice and there are nice hammocks overlooking the ocean. There is also a tidepool on the beach outside the hotel, with calm water, which is nice to lie and relax in. The lodge is located 3 km outside town, so it is more relaxing without people constantly selling coconuts or bracelets ect. The rooms are standard and clean.
They also have good clear tap water, in contrast with most places in Tofo. There is only wifi in the restaurant, and the Vodacom 4G reception is very bad down where the cabins/bungalows are.
It was a nice but very long walk on the beach into town, especially during high tide. The road is sandy, and a 4WD is needed to get there. The hotel offers shuttle/taxi to town for 500 MZT.
- Ndaudonya (10/5): You have to go here - The views and the comfy beds There is nothing not to like, its just an amazing place
- Ndaudonya (9/5): Superb - I loved the friendly people, the facilities,.the views, it was an amazing stay. I loved everything.
- Maddie (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our 10 day stay at Mango Beach! Very affordable, the staff are lovely, the facilities are very clean and well kept. The food and view for the restaurant is amazing, and there is a beautiful natural pool on the beach at the hotel. The walk to town takes about 40 mins along the beach, but it is stunning and an easy walk. Staying out of town was great and super peaceful! Thanks Michael and team for a lovely stay.
- Eva (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place, good beds, friendly and helpful staff; would definately recommend! Nothing
- Jessica (8/5): Very good -
- Alice (10/5): Amazing beach resort out of Tofo! - This place is amazing and perfect for families and true ocean lovers! It's very comfortable, with a lot of trees. Rooms are basic but they have all that is needed. Restaurant is amazing. Staff is super nice and helpful. There are hammocks and playgrounds everywhere, kids and adults are very happy. The view is amazing from the restaurant on top of the dune and food at the restaurant is very good and fresh as well. It's not luxury and it's not in the city, but it's the perfect place to spend time in the nature, also with kids. Everything was perfect for us.
- Shakeena (10/5): Loved it! - So quiet and secluded. You have the beaches all to yourself. At lowtide you can go snorkeling.
The resort is really beautiful. Staff is accommodating and so hospitable. We got lost coming in on our first evening and Sam the manager video called us and directed us safely back on the correct road, even had the kitchen stay so we could have some dinner before bed.
really awesome spot! highly recommend them it's only accessible by 4x4.
We had a small car so we walked back and forth to Tofo ( which is so nice during the day along the beach.)
MBR does have a shuttle to Kumba lodge however I do think it's abit expensive (R140 and R240 after 8pm) it's a 5mins drive.
- Stephan (9/5): Superb -
- Nigel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marcelo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ceri (10/5): Great family spot, we enjoyed the wonderful food at the restaurant and the beautiful view. - Great clean accommodation, jungle gym for the kids, super tasty food at the restaurant while watching the whales.

- Henri (7/5): Good -
- Maria (10/5): A paradise! - Great staff!!! The meals were wonderful as well! Loved it 💖
- Marga (9/5): Lovely place amazing view, very good value for money. - Very, very good value for money. Lovely staff, and an amazing bar / restaurant with a view. We loved the gym. We had a lot of mosquitoes in the bedroom. There are mosquitoes net's in the room.
We couldn't get the warm water stable, it was very hot or cold.
- Mauro (8/5): Very good -
- Rashid (7/5): Good - Lack of entertainment facilities
- Peter (9/5): Great family vacation - The location. The family Cabana (Casa) had big rooms and ample space.. Friendly staff. Beach is so close. The food at the restaurant was delicious. There were no big pots in the family Casa,, which accommodates 8 people. No toaster. The gas geyser stays warm for a very short period, then you have to open and close the tap again for it to warm up.

- Cheryl (10/5): An awesome holiday spot to get the true vibe of moz. - Thank you for an amazing stay. Your cabanas are comfortable with a fan and mozi net, the staff were so friendly and so eager to help. The food was outstanding. Such a good location , just out of main Tofo town so it’s quiet but close enough to get to visit all the buzz and vibe of the market and restaurants. Would highly recommend Mango Beach.
- Alba (9/5): Superb -
- Charmian (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent Breakfasts Possible Bar Fridge in Cabanas
Be more overlander friendly
Restaurant can improve on food order time
