Rest and Relaxation

It was quiet, comfortable and a lovely place to get away from the hustle and bustle of work and traffic. Views were terrific.

Can't think of anything at this stage.

Very good

The rooms are designed in a unique way. You feel like a princess in your mini ancient kingdom. Very relaxing.

Needed an adventurous heart to feel safe when it gets dark.

It was lovely to find a connection with nature again.

Friendly and attentive staff - thanks to Bev and her marvelous team! Our cabana had a hammock under the trees which we thoroughly enjoyed as well as our own bbq facility. Plenty of cupboard space in the room and space to store the luggage under the bed. Mosquito net over/around the bed. Great breakfast with healthier options as well. I appreciated the Eco friendly aspect of the resort, the focus on saving water and reducing the use of plastic bottles. We saw loads of different and interesting geckos and birds. Fantastic restaurant about 400m walking distance from the resort- Sapphire Sands - a must when you visit the area.

No complaints from our side, but just for information sake: Although a 4x4 vehicle is not required, there are a few sandy spots going from the resort to the market/beach which might be tricky to get through.

Everything! Immersed in nature, really nice room, comfortable bed and nice hot shower with great pressure! But the best was the staff, they really made you feel at home and super welcome! Also thoroughly enjoyed the fresh fruit for breakfast and the location (15 min walk to the beach and 20 to the town). Absolutely loved my stay and highly recommend it!

I loved everything!

a literal breath of fresh air that I needed

like “glamping”. stunning property, doesn’t even feel like you’re at a popular and busy tourist destination close to the city.

Was short but a comprehensive good stay. Would return!

We three as a family stayed 3 days and all loved it. The layout of the lodges allows for privacy and a level of intimacy and quiet that merges well with the in forest-eco-like setting. The kid has his own cabana adjacent to ours which was cool. Bev and team are super attentive and in the details while offering a well lighted and large central seating area, a small library, super breakfast, a good 'honesty bar', and excellent wifi. Additionally there is a large shared kitchen and individual ones depending on room taken. Added massages and the stay was an excellent one. Whoops... need to note Bev again as she ensured we were covered for all diving related which included drives to and from the like top-notch Blowing Bubbles dive shop when we were just plain too lazy to use our feet.

"Echo-Resort" shouldn't mean cockroaches

Friendly staff, ease of check in,

Way too many bugs, including cockroaches, even tea and coffee being extra for "breakfast included" package, extremely small room (actually a straw hut, little larger than the bed), no A/C, very limited breakfast options, noisy environment.

The owners are super accommodating and go out of their way to make you feel at home. When going back to Ponta do ouro we will definitely opt to stay here again. Location to town is perfect, the facilities were everything we needed and more. One of the highlights of our trip.

Our.stay in Gala Gala was a peaceful and calming experience. Good personal service and the people are very kind... The hosts Bev and Mandi told us about all the places of interest in the area. What and where you can buy, what to do, where are good restaurants and much more, we received answers from them to all our questions. They repeatedly gave us a lift on the way to Ponto to Ouro or back. Gala Gala has its own kitchen where you can cook your own food. Bev helped us with our transfer to Maputo as well. Our holiday in Gala Gala will be remembered for a lifetime. Especially recommended for couples in love looking for peace and solitude. Ponto do Ouro and Gala Gala is a paradise for lovers
