Hotel e Aldeamento Turístico Belo Horizonte — Hotel in Luanda Province

After driving around the area where the hotel was supposed to be (from the address my driver was given) for an hour, we finally stumbled upon it at 10pm local time. Make sure that you have proper directions or the use of Google maps!|Imagine my sense of humour failure when the receptionist told me that they had no booking for me or proof of payment by the travel agent! Fortunately he accepted the voucher that the travel agent had issued and agreed to give me a room.|The 1st room I was given had a faulty aircon. I was then moved to room number 2 where I decided to remain because I didn't have the strength to crawl down to reception to complain again.||The room I was given was very sparsely furnished. So sparse in fact that pillowcases were not included, although they did make a welcome appearance on the 2nd night!|Other delights included: a desk with no chair, curtains that didn't close properly, broken bedside lamps, a weird synthetic type material disguised as sheets, a toilet that battled to flush away more than a tissue, a teeny, tiny shower cubicle, no hot water and a shower nozzle that sprayed water in every direction except onto my body!||Dinner was a treat. I was the only guest in the dining room seated next to a window with a blind on it so that you couldn't see out (apparently a view of the sea is not important).||The waiter spoke very little English. Fortunately Coke is part of a universal language so I was guaranteed a drink. There was no menu. The choice was...chicken or beef. I kid you not. I am not making this up. I could have it with rice or potatoes. And an egg. It was edible but tasteless.||When I stay at places like this I always ask myself why I didn't read the TripAdvisor...

Arrived at the hotel in October 2013 as a business traveler. The rooms are neat as are the facilities. The biggest issue was that there was no water pressure at all to take a bath. (no shower in room) after waiting +-45 mins the bath was filled with ice cold water about 10-20cm high and had floating debris in it resembling human waste. I reported this and no resolution was made, as "there was a plumbing problem". The dinner is ridiculously expensive around $50+ a night excluding drinks. Food is presented as a buffet with little to no great variety. If you opt for alternatives to seafood like me (as I'm allergic) a trip to Casa do Frescos spelling is advised as I allege the "steak" is recycled daily, based on whatever is not eaten. It was a painful week in Angola at this facility. Sadly I had no choice! At one evening meal I paid in dollars and they had no change, was promised change never occurred. I do not recommend this place at all! Rather pay for a better facility. Can recommend the local Kentucky Fried Chicken as...
