Staff and lodging is good, ac works. The pool was not filled upon our arrival. Don’t buy anything from the vendors on the beach they will overcharge you by insane amounts. Walk down to the other vendors and shops for better deals.

Tranquilo Cape Maclear
Posted 13 Jul 2023 on HotelsFantastic staff, very quiet and confortable place. We visited most of the hotels and Airbnbs in Cape Maclear and Tranquilo was was by far one of the most clean places in the area.

Nice and pleasant place, but vendors are annoying
Posted 18 Jun 2023 on HotelsGenerally super nice and pleasant place. It does become a bit annoying and unpleasant though when vendors are constantly pursuing you to sell their boat trips and art inside the lodge.

The lake was lovely, however, Annie's Lodge was a disappointment.
- The shower was dirty
- Large quantities of ants under and on the toilet seat and wash basin
- The bath mat was a toilet seat cover!
- Our bed was crawling with ants, and had to sleep in the spare bed
I could continue...

Decent, quiet spot on the beach. Breakfast and other food is a bit disappointing. We were almost robbed when someone entered the room in the middle of the night and we woke up just in time to chase them away - but beach-side security is definitely lacking!

Fantastic location and brilliantly helpful staff. Sadly very run down even by Malawian standards. No hot water at any time and often no water at all.
