Did not stay in the accommodation but have heard really nice things about the establishment and especially about the food. Walking into the building is incredible with beautiful open reception area. We had no sooner stepped through the door when we were greeted by a very friendly member of staff who took us to the restaurant area so we could... More

Just when you thought that you caught your breath after the hotel knocked it away, prepare yourself for another shock; the view outside from the porch! When in Vilanculos (or Vilankulo), Casa Rex is a must to book your accommodation. The accommodation is first class and the food is delicious. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent. They... More

You might think that you would hardly spend any time in your hotel once you are on the tropical island of Mozambique, but if it is Casa Rex in Vilanculous you might change your mind. This lodge is located in the small coastal town of Vilanculous and boasts African, Portuguese and Arab influences throughout the entire town. All of the... More

Wonderful place. I have been in Vilanculus few times, stayed in lodges in both Benguera and Bazaruto but none of those come close to Casa Rex. Few people said that trip advisor pictures don't do it justice I completely agree. Go for the country yard suite on the second floor with a sea view, the most romantic place ever. Breakfast... More

They have some vey delicious pina coladas! A very short down from the microscopic center of the town of Vilanculos. The manager was very friendly and tanned. They get busy during the christmas/new year peak season so it's wise to make a reservation.

We visited Casa Rex for the third time and spent 10 nights there over December/January 2013 and have already booked our holiday for the end of the year. The reason we keep coming back is simple: outstanding hospitality, friendly staff, excellent cuisine, crisp white linen, panoramic views of the ocean and islands! We had a wonderful holiday and look forward... More

We only stayed for two nights but have only complements for Casa Rex. The food was the highlight for us, but the rest was great too. It is a little pricy, but as they say "price is what you pay value is what you get".

With the beauty of Vilanculos all around you its easy to see why this place is an absolute must. From the breath-taking balcony views, to the friendly efficient "nothing is too much trouble staff" this place is just an absolute must. The food, the pool, the service, the rooms, just all top notch. Thanx guys. I'll be back!

Our stay at the Casa Rex was outstanding. The service was very satisfactory, the food was excellent (Dinner is a bit limited if you don’t eat fish – but what was on offer was excellent) and the staff always happy to help in anyway they can. The hotel organised a day outing to a nearby island where we experienced one... More
