Pemba Beach Hotel & Spa
Pemba Mozambique
Pemba Beach Hotel and Spa is the gateway to the romantic
Quirimbas Archipelago on the northern coastline of Mozambique and the
Niassa National Reserve. It is a world-class destination where Swahili
East Africa meets Arabia in a sweeping compilation of Arabian-inspired
buildings, colonnades, turrets and archways. No effort has been spared
in crafting this splendid establishment where businessmen gather for high-powered
meetings and where international travelers sip Gin &Tonics on manicured
lawns before setting off to explore some of the most beautiful islands
and pristine safari wilderness on earth.
With sweeping Arabian-styled buildings, magnificent facilities and range
of sporting activities, Pemba Beach Hotel and Spa is the ideal destination
- whether it be for families, a wedding party, corporate incentive groups
or exclusive executive conference. Combining the efficiency of a business
hotel with genuine exotic glamour, Pemba has become sought after as a
leisure or conference and incentive destination, with the range of water-sports
and pure indulgence of the spa serving as delightful antidotes to business
pursuits.
Relax and unwind in comfort and style. Guests have a choice of 3-star
Classic rooms, luxury Courtyard rooms, a variety of Suites or self-catering
Villas; all rooms have air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, satellite
TV, personal bar and al-fresco patios. Endless Mozambique ocean views
and striking architecture make Pemba Beach Hotel and Spa unique.
Arriving at Pemba Beach Hotel and Spa is to enter an exotic realm in
an ancient land, where you may feel you are living the dream of adventures
past and still to come. Representing a fusion of Arabic and African inspired
influences, this Mozambique hotel impresses with its sweeping compilation
of Arabian-inspired buildings, colonnades, turrets and archways sprawling
over 100 acres.
You are spoilt for choice with accommodation at Pemba Beach Hotel, its
102 rooms, all with sea views and individual balconies, providing a truly
sumptuous rendition of Mozambique east coast living. The Indian Ocean
glitters beyond manicured lawns, whilst inside your room you are cosseted
in a haven of rich furnishings, Persian rugs and marble-clad bathrooms.
Choose from amongst 60 sea-facing 3-star Classic Rooms, 32 stylish Courtyard
Rooms with sea-facing or partial sea-facing views, 2 Royal Suites with
sweeping sea views, or 8 self-catering villas, each accommodating four
adults and two children. All rooms are air-conditioned and contain en-suite
bathroom with bath and shower, mini-bar, satellite TV, direct dial telephone,
coffee- / tea-making facilities and electronic safe.
At night, you will enjoy the Mozambique tropical heat as you drift from
the Niassa Bar, with its wildlife trophies evoking past hunting days,
to the Quirimbas Restaurant where leading chefs sculpt a blend of international
and local cuisine, with local Mozambique seafood in abundance.
By day, you may laze around the infinity pool which seems to tumble into
the ocean, or take a short walk to the buzzing Clube Naval, with its own
swimming pool and adjacent yacht marina. Here the Activity Centre tempts
you with all the sporting action your heart desires - deep-sea fishing
for Kingfish, Sailfish, Marlin or Barracuda, diving off coral reefs, snorkeling,
windsurfing, sailing, kayaking or water-skiing. Fitness enthusiasts can
sweat it out in the well-equipped gym or on the floodlit tennis courts.

Without a shadow of a doubt this is by leaps and bounds the worst
place I have ever stayed in. They have the brass neck to advertise
this as a five star resort. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Firstly, a five star hotel will have internet connections if not WiFi
in every room. Secondly, a five star hotel will have room service.
Thirdly, a five star hotel will have quality staff and management.
This is not the case in PBH. Considering the majority of guests communicate
in English the staff could barely construct a simple sentence in English.
Service is extremely bad. Expect to receive something different than
what you ordered from the menu and if you are a large group expect
the waiter to forget to bring some meals as they don't even write
down orders. Furthermore, expect to wait for up to one hour for something
as simple as a sandwich or burger, even when there is nobody else
in the restaurant.
The bar Nissa is the most dullest hotel bar I have ever been to and
is completely devoid of atmosphere. It is more like a morgue. Bar
staff pay no attention to guest drink levels and just shuffle around
idly like zombies or disappear totally for ten or fifteen minutes
at a time.
Management offer apologies when guests complain and do nothing else.
Staff are clearly untrained and make the same mistakes daily. There
is no corrective actions taken. In one case I complained about not
receiving my correct order to a white manager who pretended to be
sympathetic and then walked away without doing anything about the
situation.
While the place is asthetically pleasing to the eye in its Arabic
influenced design, bricks and mortar alone do not make a five star
resort.
At best I would give PBH a rating of three stars, and that's being
generous. It would be interesting to see how many stars a qualified
hotel inspector would award PBH. I would not recommend this facility
to anybody. |

Stayed in Pemba a few nights on my way to Niassa and back. Very average/below
average rooms and service. The rooms weren't specially clean, the
second time I stayed there I came in feeling the room hadn't been
cleaned..
Seems to be the best choice in Pemba but definitely only a "transit"
hotel! |

We stayed for 5 days in december. The superior courtyard rooms are
clean and comfortable with nice balconys. The service is sometimes
very efficient, sometimes very slow. Dining is buffet style in the
main restaurant (mediocre) or like an american diner in the "Clube
naval" beach front restaurant. The local staff always seem to
be confused if there is no supervisor in sight. Exchanging local currency
with the cashier took 15 minutes, because he had to look for someone,
who could provide local currency. When they called you a taxi, it
did mean waiting for 15-20 minutes, until it arrived. We found most
of the local staff to speak little (or no) english, which by itself
is not what you expect from a so called "five-star-hotel".
The dive shop is okay, the spa is excellent (but book ahead, otherwise
you won't get an appointment because they seem to have few therapists).
This is the most upmarket lodging option in Pemba, but compared to
other beach resorts in east and southern africa, it is ridiculously
overpriced and poor value for the (lot of) money. We travel a lot
in africa and we are used to a lack of professionalism in most 3 or
4-star hotels, but usually prices are according to that fact. |
