Kauri Resort — Hotel in Cabo Delgado Province

The hotel has nice, clean rooms with A/C facing the beach, which is amazing. The size and cleanliness of the rooms gets an A for sure- likewise, the restaurant has delicious food and is open fairly late! The only reason it gets 3 stars instead of 4 is because the rooms FLOOD during rainy season. Literally, every day I'd wake up at dawn to 6 inches of water and enduring the wet feet throughout the night actually led me to catch the flu! :( This continued for 3 or 4 days and the staff was not even apologetic nor did they offer a refund or discount. I'm not sure if they fixed it (they seem to have installed some kind of door cylinder) or if the rains just abated- the point is their lack of apology or recourse was a low standard of customer service. If you go outside of rainy season, should be fine. Very decent price compared to everywhere...

The management is a bit quirky (they asked for the money in advance but weren't able to provide a receipt until the next day) but the staff is nice...

Although Steven went out of his way to put me in contact with locals that could...
