This hotel is said to close for renovations others say it was sold, it does not deserve to be mentioned as a tourist dream destination

Pestana Inhaca Island
Hotels.com charged me extra for New Years Eve. When I got to the hotel I was asked to pay an extra USD280.00 just for New Years Eve. They had no record of the extra payment made to Hotels.com. Inhaca Island was amazing. The hotel is old and although was in need of some TLC, it was a fairly comfortable stay.

Adjust expectations to rural Africa
I enjoyed Inhaca, but this is rural Africa, no 5* resort. The government ferry is just as fast as the Vodacom and ½ the price (ticket sales were chaotic). Both have the same times, but leave from different places in Maputo. You jump from the ferry to a motorized canoe and walk a short distance in shallow water. The motorized canoe is Mt 20 and park fee Mt 200. Avoid touts who want to carry your bags and demand a high fee and follow you all day. Rooms are large and fine. Mine had a bathroom faucet leak so they moved me. Breakfast and dinner adequate (don't expect Michelin stars). At rack rate, it is overpriced, but discounts are available. Check before signing food and drink bills. I was overcharged outside. At check out, I was told signing meant I confirmed the charge, but they corrected it. The hotel now let us keep the rooms until the return ferry. Inhaca is great for birding, but the activity center gave me the worst "bird guide" I've ever had. Large birds were pointed out as "another one there". When pressed, he pointed to photos in an incomplete book and sometimes the wrong species. He had no interest in small birds, no binoculars, bird calls, or coaxing birds out. I told the owner the guide needs training. He said, "We will let him take the books home and study." I heard the snorkeling/diving trips were good. An outside restaurant, Lucas, had good tiger prawns, but very slow service even though it was not busy.

Quiet and comfortable
The Pestana Ihaca is a great place to stay for a few days rest and relaxation on a beautiful island easily accessed by ferry from Maputo. The hotel provides accommodation and service of a standard very much in keeping with it's location - low-key and relaxed, not luxurious, but comfortable and friendly.

2 Star Hotel at most
We stayed at Pestana Inhaca Lodge for 3 nights. We were unhappy about the fact that we were not informed that the pool will be undergoing renovations during our stay. We would definitely not have visited the hotel under such circumstances. The variety of food offered was poor and one gets the impression that the hotel is being run on a shoestring. It is seriously overpriced, internet service is extra, as well as bottled water (tap water is not suitable for drinking purposes). The hotel staff is friendly, but lacks training. I will certainly not recommend this lodge.
