My stay at Archipelago Resort was truly unforgettable, with breathtaking sea views and a serene, clean beach that felt like paradise. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, ensuring every need was met. However, the journey from Vilanculos can be a bit rough due to the road conditions, and it would have been great to have more varied dining options on-site. Overall, it was great value for money and a luxurious getaway.

We had an amazing stay at Archipelago Resort, enjoying the clean and comfortable rooms along with the stunning beachfront location. The friendly staff genuinely made our experience memorable, especially with their attention to our kids.

Our family just returned from a fantastic holiday at Archipelago Resort, where we also celebrated our wedding. The staff, especially Priscilla and Donna, went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. The setting was picturesque, and we enjoyed several activities during our stay. However, while our rustic casa was comfortable, I would have preferred a bit more modernity in the amenities. Overall, the value for a family getaway is superb.
