Baobab Beach Vilanculos

Great beachfront location. The town center is only about 15-20 minutes away on foot. The staff sets this place apart, one of the nicest and most helpful group of people i’ve met in my travels. I feel bad for mentioning negatives, but i have to be honest here. The shared facilities in this place are in serious need of repairs. The toilets are often clogged, some showers are broken, shower areas get flooded, water sometimes smell like rust, mosquito nets have huge holes, the shared kitchen gets real dirty…maybe they’re not prioritizing shared spaces for budget travelers idk. In the dorm room, there’s limited electrical outlets. A power strip would solve this problem. There are no individual lockers in the dorms, but they do offer a secure place to store valuables. The WiFi works great, but it’s only at the restaurant/bar. Speaking of the restaurant, they serve good food and they run a tab. You only have to pay for everything before checking out. They also accept credit cards which was very convenient. I didn’t have to go to the bank to get some cash. There’s not much choice in Vilanculos for budget travelers. If the current state of disrepair doesn’t bother you, it’s still a pretty good deal considering the price and location.
