The chalet( 2 bedrooms one bathroom) was well equipped had a gas barbecue and had really good bed linen. The view from the deck and balcony over the 15km long lagoon over the trees was beautiful. The bird life was prolific. The road to the resort is being paved. There is a great coffee bar/ garage on the lagoon side... More

We came to PDS for a couple of days and stayed for 6. It is such a relaxing place right on the edge of a beautiful clear lagoon. There are 12 chalets here of varying sizes set in the bush. Our first 2 nights were spent in Chalet 1 which has great views of the lagoon out over the trees... More

In September I booked and paid for a weeks holiday through Mozambique Holiday at Praia do Sol.I received a booking confirmation from Mozambique Holiday. The night before we left home, I phoned Leo to check all was in order. He had never received the booking nor payment from Mozambique Holiday. He went out of his way to find us alternative... More

Besides the food being overpriced - better value and bigger portions are available in the town. Leo and Solly are extremely friendly and helpful. Keeping in consideration that this is a rural area in Mozambique, the rooms are charming, and comfortable. You can definitely sleep mosquito free. Water pressure is low, so filling a bath takes a good hour. In... More

The chalets are very rustic with plenty of holes in the roof and on the wall. Also the moscito net was full of holes. The walls where full of Gecko excrements. I was disapointed as the reviews were positive. They have to fix the chalets as this is not European standard and less adventures people will leave immediately. We booked... More

Really nice place for a beach geth away in bilene. In Bilene there is not much to do but this place is a really good beach accomodation, good for a stopover stay before driving further to inhambane. Beautiful beach chalet. Not luxurious but it has it charme. Nice people, good food. You do need to bring musquito repelient.

The set up of the property is very good with chalets being quite private. They are beach rustic but quite comfortable. They could have been a little cleaner but the bedding and bathroom were very clean which is most important. If your chalet is further from the bar restaurant and higher on the dune than others you may find the... More

This was our first trip to Mozambique and we weren’t sure what to expect, however, if you picture in your mind a little bit of paradise then this resort fits the bill.

Writing a balanced review about Praia do Sol is not easy. but I'll do my best. In first place, the location and overall resort set up are great. It is not a 5 star hotel, nor it intends to be. It is a place where you feel close to nature and well integrated with the surrounding environment. Most of the... More
