Hotel Ritz Sumbe — Hotel in Cuanza Sul Province

I would return here if I brought noise-cancelling headphones - at least for weekends. There is a small, open-air club with the standard-for-Angola extraorindarily loud sound system. The front desk was nicer than average, but a bit off. First they tried to charge me for a double with single occupant though they backed off once I showed them the reservation email. Then after they gave me a key to a room, the front desk attendant came up and advised that the manager wanted me to move to another room since I paid for a different type of room than what he gave me. So I was moved... to another double. Sigh. Unfortunately, it was on the other end of the building and it was that much louder.||||Pros: rooms are clean, the beach is right across the street, water pressure is adequate and hot water is hot, the front desk is fairly polite if not smiley, the staff politely withstands my unfortunate Portuguese, the breakfast buffet is adequate if you aren't vegetarian or vegan, the beds are very firm and the pillows are just right (for me), and it's only 9900 AOA for a single in Angola!||||Cons: Not the most competent front desk, the noise and vibration from the club (not affiliated with the hotel) goes until 5:30 am, the renovations appear to have been done on the cheap, wifi signal...
