    As much as food was awesome, felt like they could have had more fish related options.

    a piece of paradise on the mozambique coast, spacious rooms, wonderful staff that are attentive, and great food.

    Transport to Xai Xai town is expensive if you don't have a car.

    Excellent service with lots of attention to detail. Well managed. Friendly staff. Very good location for families with children. I chose it for the gym, the rock pools on the beach for young kids and the fact that it has self-catering units. We will come back!

    Everything was in place

    Zona Braza was immaculate. One cannot but notice the owners take big pride in there lodge. Nothing out of place. We stayed in Caza 4 with a fantastic view, with a sea breeze coming threw. We did not spot one misquito. Outdoor shower amazing, nobody can see in. The bar on the beach with Gazebo is a must. 3 Swimming pools clean with pool chairs and cushions. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, not to mention there ZOOTI uniforms. For breakfast, i really enjoyed the Muesli and Breakfast wrap. One can only but notice a professional lanscaper did the gardens. I Winsome Vosloo highly recommend Zona Braza.

    A beautiful place with a breathtaking view. Cabins are very nice and you can see that a lot of work and love was put in by building Zona Braza Beach Lodge. This place is perfect if you just want to relax and enjoy long beach walks in beautiful dunes. The massage on the deck with the sound of waves and birds is also an experience you should not miss. The owners were very helpful with recommendations where else to go in Mozambique. We will definitely come back.

    I didn't like the long walks to the restaurant, they ended up making us not to go for breakfast or any other thing to the bar and the fact that there is no WIFI in the villa was frustrating because we from a foreign country and need to communicate with family but that can only happen at the restaurant.

    I liked that its a remote area and everything can be found in the property

    Liked everything. This is a nice spot, and I would definitely stay longer next time.

    Absolutely awesome spot. Definitely more than just a one night stop over( unfortunately, we used it this time as a stop over) Perfect for self-catering, including a nice barbecue area(understandable only charcoal, neighbors had a massive fire recently) Restaurant also very nice option with excellent seafood and pizza. Lovely views from there and our unit 3. Road fine for 2x4.

    Vendors from the beach walked right up to our unit in an attempt to sell seafood. This showed me little control applied by the lodge in this regard. It resulted in me having to unpack all removable items from my vehicle's roofrack and store it inside the vehicle not knowing whether these could be stolen off the vehicle at night

    Everything was exceeding expectations

    I didn’t like the pillows. I didn’t like how there are 3 pools and they’re all so small.

    The ocean view was breathtaking. I could see it from the villa, from the restaurant and pool deck. The sea food was out of this world. I ate the most delicious lobster, squid heads and prawns ever.

    The beach bar was not open. The staff were always on their phones and we had to wait for them to finish phone calls to speak with them. The breakfast restaurant opened half hour late and we already thought a 7am breakfast start was a bit late for us. Chicken for dinner was very average. It would have been helpful to have all info about the lodge communicated to us upfront on check-in, such as wifi, beach bar hours, breakfast hours, what to do in the area, if anything etc.

    The staff were happy & kind and it made the stay fun. The restaurant is beautifully decorated.

    Providing a stable and constant WiFi in the lodges in addition to the restaurant only would be amazing.

    Everything was just great, especially the staff, the location that is really beautifully made, and the surroundings. Great for swimming and diving at the Indian Ocean, and for chilling at the location. We stayed at the villa, very recommended, with direct access to the beach. Also recommendable: the SPA massage sessions.
