Pros:

Morgenmaden var virkelig god. Ingen larm.

Cons:

Hård seng. Pigen i receptionen virkede meget arrogant og var på ingen måde hjælpsom..

Ingen dør mellem soveværelset og badeværelset.

Pros:

O pequeno-almoço foi o ponto alto.
Quarto confortável e moderno com ar condicionado.
Água com fluxo baixo e limitação de água quente (mas aceitável tendo em conta que é um ecolodge).

Cons:

Localização com muito barulho da vizinhança.

Great breakfast, nice rooms
Pros:

We spent 2 nights at this accommodation option, and while it was suitable, the hotel is starting to show signs of wear. While the gardens are expansive, the overgrown lawns gave a derelict feeling to the whole place. Through Booking.com, we were given an upgrade to a pool view room, which was nice. We appreciated the daily cleaning, and the breakfasts (and dinners taken there) were really good. The TV showed 3 static channels only, which isn't a problem if you have a stable internet connection and can live stream. We, unfortunately, did not have a good connection, which was just a tad frustrating in this day and age. The location is off the main road, some distance from the nearby town of Santana. A vehicle is necessary for getting here and around. We had bicycles with us, which made for some good rides from the hotel, but walking anywhere would be quite a chore.

Cons:

The wifi was the worst we've experienced in all of Sao Tome.

Pros:

Esta roça está muito bem arranjada e nota-se um cuidado especial na conservação do espaço.
A piscina tinha a água mais quente que experimentámos em São Tomé e Príncipe.
As refeições, e principalmente o pequeno-almoço (incluído na reserva, e servido à mesa) foram fenomenais - um dos melhores pequenos-almoços que comemos nestas 2 semanas na ilha.
A simpatia, honestidade e simplicidade do Nelson e restantes funcionários(as) são de louvar. Ficámos fãs!

Cons:

Alguns móveis dos quartos (mobiliário claramente do Ikea) não aguentam as exigências de São Tomé e do seu clima.

No restaurante as opções de comida foram diminuindo ao longo do tempo, apesar da comida ser boa e servida em boas quantidades

Ótimo
Pros:

Pequeno almoço excepcional, o melhor que já comi. Imensa comida e caseira. O jantar no restaurante é fantástico e as porções são enormes, 1 dose dá para 2. Muito simpáticos, hotel gerido por portugueses. Camas confortáveis e limpas. Respondem muito rápido por email. Quartos silenciosos.

Cons:

Não há porta na casa de banho. Preços do restaurante caros (50€ 2 pratos + 2 bebidas)

Pros:

Lugar maravilhoso com um staff sempre disponível. Seguramente um dos melhores alojamentos em São tomé. Foi a nossa melhor experiência de alojamento durante os 12 dias, que foram divididos em diversas estadias. A comida é muito boa e o pequeno almoço sempre com fruta local fresca. Um pequeno paraíso

Cons:

Nada a apontar

Pros:

El alojamiento calidad-precio estuvo muy bien, el desayuno muy surtido. Nelson fue acogedor y el personal que trabaja para él encantador.

Cons:

Está alejado del centro por lo que resulta difícil desplazarse por la noche para cenar/tomar algo una vez se vuelve de las excursiones 16/17 de la tarde, te quedas un poco ‘atrapado’ si no dispones de un coche alquilado.

Tienes la posibilidad de cenar en el restaurante del lugar, esta muy rico todo lo que preparan, aunque la primera noche tardaron 1h en preparar lo que había pedido (era la única clienta además del dueño).

A las 8h todos los días sonaba música (kizomba) muy cerca y muy alta y no es agradable.
