“Won't be returning unfortunately”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2013

My partner and I stayed here for a long weekend in April. It was our second time here. The first time we stayed we were not impressed by the menu and food at all. We thought we would give it another try, however we were again disappointed. This time, the breakfast options were half what we were offered the previous... More

“Great Lodge, Management and Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 4, 2013

April 2013, 4 of us stayed at the lodge for 3 nights. The bungalows are great with small decks with steps to the water. The management is superb and friendly, food is good. We were so pleased, we did not take advantage of the sister Barra hotel on the ocean. The horseback riding on the beach is not to be... More

My husband and I stayed at the lodge towards the end of our Mozambique visit. Nico, at reception, certainly understands the concept of happy tourists ensure positive word of mouth referalls. He went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed, when we needed it. Most beautiful sunsets! A nice room with a small mini bar -... More

“Honeymoon”

The experience at Flamingo Bay was phenomenal, and I would definitely go back and recommend anyone wanting to go to Mozambique to consider it as a destination!! Everything from the food to the service was nothing short of excellent.

“A wondeful experience...but”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

The picturesque location, island style design and water-villa's should push this establishment into a four and five star rating - but a little atention to detail brought them down however. During our stay (late Jan 2013) the golf cart which shuttles guests along the long (repeat long) walk-ways was out of action. The publicised sea-food buffet was served on only... More

“1st Wedding Anniversary”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

Flamingo Bay is truly sensational. We wanted relaxation and thats what we got. The staff are amazing - Mike, the lady in the shop who assisted with massages and forex and Eric really went the extra mile. The only disappointment was that nobody from management actually greeted anybody or interacted except for Cesar who was also awesome. The "City Tour"... More

“African Luxury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

A beautifully built set of bungalows on an amazing lagoon. Rooms are very private and very nicely finished inside. The lagoon is beautiful, especially at sunset. Staff are great at being attentive but not intrusive. Plenty of activities such as great diving, sailing and a beautiful beach within walking distance.
