Mucumbli was for us extraordinary for different reasons and it was just not the houses, restaurant and territory, but all these people we talked there, who were our guides and drivers and those with whom we planned our days on the Western coast from our home country. And those who dealt with our changing desires while being there. For example: we found out that we couldn't ride mountain bikes in the heat of Africa. And we chose not to rent a car to drive south as we had planned back at home. Instead, we toured with a driver and went to Porto Alegre by boat. I recommend this 3.5 hour boat trip to anyone who loves the sea. To see this beautiful island from a far is so special. Especially the S-W part of it, which is without roads and very few people live there and all of it is covered with primary rainforest. To Amaro, our Northern Coast tour and Water Tunnel hiking guide, we are especially grateful. Tt was fun and interesting with him. The same goes for the guide ( sorry, cannot right now recall his name, but he was also English teacher as Amaro) who led us for two days from Bom Sucesso over the mountains and in the forest to Chamiço. And the next day from there down to Agostinho Neto. This was simply wonderful. Thanks to Mucumbli we saw a lot of country, experienced different surroundings, had a fun time walking in the nature and talking about the history of the country and everything concerned the life of people there. But what concerns Mucumbli as a place, this is beautiful, spacious, clean, tasty, charming. With good food and mood. With very lovely people. Stay with them and use their knowledge and guides to discover this beautiful-beautiful island. We are very grateful!

The breakfast was a buffet style and was better and with more variety than most European or American 4+ start hotels. Good quality food, good use of local foods, very attentive service. I liked how they used some of the local chocolate syrups and preserves, as well as fruits and coffee. Excellent view of the sea for a bonus! We also had shows every evening, including a local live band and a youth orchestra playing local music. Both were great! The starts of this hotel however were the staff. The front desk was efficient, they were ready for the check in, they had the bill ready for the checkout, and they were always smiling and eager to help. The bartenders and maids were also friendly and proactive, very proactive, same for the towel person at the pool. And Bruna was fantastic! she was all over the place, talking to guests and helping in any way possible from getting taxis to organizing tours, making dinner reservations at local restaurants, etc. In summary, customer service was in line with or better than most 4+ star hotels in Europe or the USA.

If you want to experience ancient Sao Tomean times - it is time to go to Roca Sao Joao de Angolares. Incredible roca (plantation house), very clean, complex, with perfect meals served on roofed terrace with view of the sea, village and the evergreen jungle. High seilings, arc windows and doors, wooden stairs, wooden veranda, and lot of woodwork... On top of that no AC to destroy the authentic feeling - ceiling fan slowly moves hot air away. The roca is a perfect base for southern trips (equator island, Malanza and souther beaches).

I would highly recommend staying at Sweet Guesthouse. I stayed for one night. The staff were so helpful and friendly, the room was spacious and clean, and the location was great. The guesthouse also arranged an airport collection for me and the driver was waiting for me with a sign. This was such great value for money and I will be recommending to anyone I meet who is planning to travel to Sao Tome.

Omali is a great hotel near the airport, and a short walk to the popular beach. The on-site restaurant had an amazing buffet breakfast, and I also had lunch and dinner there. The pool was very clean and perfect for a morning swim. The staff had plenty of helpful information and really made the stay.

Everything was great, super friendly staff, very comfortable room, breakfast was amazing. The location is a great start to get to know the rest of the island. Has two amazing beaches nearby if you just want to relax and enjoy the sunshine, Praia das Sete Ondas and Praia Messia Alves

Exclusive beach and pool. Excellent food. Very nice staff. For sure the best resort in São Tomé.

Always clean, friendly and helpful staff. Very affordable and close to a lot of places.

The staff were excellent, and our room was much larger than we had anticipated.
