Our initial plan was to stay only a few days since we had other plans traveling around but we had to come back and stay at Papaya every time we returned to Maputo. Now we don’t even have to look for anything else. This hotel is a given for any future visits. Even our local friends were positivley surprised when we shared our experiences of this loving little Oasis. U get soap, shampoo and some lotion in your room and there is a self service fridge stocked w necessities- beer, coke, water. There is a small fridge in room and a shared kitchenette for basic food preparation. The pool area is super nice and relaxing! ##### Niclas Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean 6 Jun 2025 The rooms and general accommodation were fantastic.
