Pros:

Struttura pulita, arredata con mobili locali di gusto, letto comodo, piscina e giardino ben curati, a disposizione tennis e palestra.

Cons:

Unico neo è che nella stanza la doccia non scaricava bene l'acqua quindi il piatto doccia si allagava, ma è davvero una piccola cosa che riguardava solo la nostra stanza. Abbiamo soggiornato un'altra volta in un'altra stanza e tutto era perfetto.

Magnífico alojamiento para São Tomé
Pros:

Las instalaciones, el restaurante y la amabilidad del personal.

Cons:

La playa de enfrente está bien pero tampoco es la mejor de Sao Tomé . Precio demasiado elevado.

Idéal pour un court séjour ou un voyage d'affaires
Pros:

Très bon hôtel avec tout le confort et les services propres à ce type d'établissement: chambre calme et confortable, excellente literie, beau jardin, piscine, bar, restaurant et même une salle de fitness. Le restaurant dispose du bon service et propose un buffet copieux au petit déjeuner et d'excellents repas le reste de la journée. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la possibilité de profiter des infrastructures de l'hôtel pendant la journée du départ dans l'attente du vol du soir, ainsi que le service navette vers l'aéroport parfaitement organisé.

Cons:

Quelques membres du personnel de la réception ne parlent que le portugais ou un anglais rudimentaire et à peine compréhensible, ce qui est inacceptable pour un hôtel 4 étoiles avec de la clientèle internationale! Tarifs également un peu trop élevés vu la taille de la chambre.

Tres beau séjour au bord de l’eau
Pros:

J’ai quasiment tout aimé. La taille de la chambre. La beauté du site. La petite salle de sport. Avoir un restaurant sur place et l’amabilité du personnel.

Cons:

Globalement j’ai trouvé que les plats coutaient trop chers par rapport à ce qu’il y avait dans l’assiette. Coté chambre, pas de gel de tout le sejour ( bizarre) et pas de machine à café moderne. Trop de coussins de decorations egalement qui encombrent plus qu’autrechose.

Pros:

A proximidade ao aeroporto é uma vantagem, para quem está de passagem para o Príncipe. A distância à cidade também não é obstáculo a que se faça uma visita, de carro ou até a pé (para quem gostar de percorrer a marginal da baía Ana Chaves, que se encontra em obras para facilitar esse passeio).
Em todas as ocasiões, é sempre um gosto contar com a boa disposição e simpatia dos são tomenses.

Cons:

O Omali tem um restaurante que serve bem e com qualidade acima da média. No entanto, o menu é fixo. Em estadias mais longas, em que os hóspedes se vêem confrontados com algumas limitações que o país tem em termos de oferta turística (por exemplo, de restaurantes de qualidade equivalente), a variedade do menu esgota-se rapidamente. Uma sugestão seria a de haver, todos os dias, um "prato do dia" diferente.

6 dias em S. Tomé
Pros:

O pessoal é (como toda a população são tomense, de uma forma geral) muito simpático e com uma grande vontade de ser prestável, de uma maneira alegre e descontraída.
O hotel é bem cuidado e mantido. Apesar dos seus anos, a qualidade ainda é boa.

Cons:

A via em frente, que separa o hotel da praia, é um pouco barulhenta. Embora a baía seja linda, a praia, propriamente dita, está muito estragada e abandonada e torna-se pouco apetecível.
Muitos dos lotes vizinhos do hotel, desde os limites da cidade até ao aeroporto, estão ao abandono e/ou ocupados por outras unidades de alojamento de menor qualidade e, sobretudo, de menor sucesso, o que contribui para esse abandono e desleixo.
