A highly positive experience on a work-related trip to S. Tomé. This relatively small hotel (really a villa, as in its name) is very well located in a relatively calm neighborhood close to the center (but without all the noise and agitation). Although it doesn't have lunch&dine facilities (only breakfast), it is very close to many excellent restaurants (Papa-Figo, Petiscos da Vilma, Parque Popular, Carambola, Pico Mocambo, etc.) and next door to Moxinhos, a lunch&coffee shop with the most delicious cakes. The room had airco, minifridge, desk, comfortable beds, and a good, functional private bathroom with hot water. Having stayed in other places in the city of S. Tomé, I really appreciated the cleanliness and quietness of the hotel. A heads up to the manager and all the other staff: this is what one would call excellent, reliable "service with a smile". They went out of their way to help with anything that came up (arranging for transportation, exchanging money, etc.) and were always available for a friendly chat.

We enjoyed our last two days in São Tomé at Hotel Praia. We had stayed there already a night prior to our journey to the island of Rolas. It was nice to back in civilization after our Rolas trip. Nice to have everything functioning and working well. Great shower, nice bed, everything clean! The front desk personnel was very friendly and accommodating (especially Mr Helder, who, amongst other things, took care of our taxi requests). The salt-water pool is nice and big. Great to be so close to the airport. The restaurant serves a great free breakfast and dinners were good, too. We would go back there!

Hard to find anything bad to say about this hotel - everything works well. The manager is very hands on and obviously well liked by her staff and it translates into an excellent experience throughout. There are copious common spaces to hand out and the rooms are spacious. The restaurant and bar were also good experiences. It was very convenient to. the airport and the airport transfers worked very well.

Happy to have visited São Tomé because it is a hidden piece of the Portuguese colonisation history. I am a South American with African roots but had never learnt that while 1875 is the official date of abolition of slavery in São Tomé, forced labor and slave-like conditions continued on the plantations for several decades, actually until the Isles independence in 1975, 100 years later. I was appalled. International producers of true fair trade chocolate should upgrade their efforts in sourcing from the island small scale farmers and cooperatives. And the diaspora should learn more about this piece of our history and help in whatever way we can, particularly in introducing decent affordable housing, such as a compressed earth block factory and a training center in their production and building techniques.

A wonderful place to explore.

A wonderful place to explore. Very much off the beaten path, where tourism has yet to flourish. This can present some challenges, but it's very much a place to get stuck in and explore at your own pace. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world can be found here and all the challenges (poor roads, language barriers, lack of basic amenities) are worth overcoming to experience the nature at hand. The people are friendly, the island's vibe is laid back and there is something for everyone here. What I will say is that a lot of research and planning is required for a lengthy stay in Sao Tome, it's not a place where you can get by on the fly, you need to be prepared and research everything that you're looking to do.

Sao Tome should be combined with a few days in Principe which we did not do. It is underdeveloped in tourist terms - fine for us though. The main attractions need a certain persistence given the state of the roads. Beware goats, dogs, pigs and motor cycles having a different view of how roads should be used. Mostly beware of children. On two occasions aggressive begging by children was excessive. We like to drive ourselves and hiring a driver would probably have deterred them. TAP is the only flight option from Europe. Our flight out did not have the planned aircraft and the substitute did not have the expected facilities and which required an added fuel stop.

Sao Tome island is incredible, even though the slowness of things here can get annoying. Sometime you can't get service even if you pay extra. Taxis are super expensive, so better rent a car or take a guided tour. Actually I strongly recommend to take a guided tour at least the first day. Most people don't speak English, just Portugese.

Very humid and not really geared up for tourists. Getting taxis unless you speak Portugese is difficult except from a hotel. Mainly cloudy in early March. The museum in the light house is very interesting. Meals out were variable but often with large portions particularly of rice.

Every country has its interesting sights and so has Sao Tomé. It is worth a visit. It is much more African than Cabo Verde. It lacks however the traditional villages like Benin or Togo. I was a bit disappointed by the quality of its beaches and the snorkeling. There is not much of coral, but there are colourful fishes and large quantities. There are great hiking possibilities in dry season in beautiful green plantation or forests. It is a lot safer than many other African destination. There are beautiful birds, but no large animals in the natural parks.

Gente d’aqui is a small paradise in São Tomé. The view is breathtaking, the atmosphere is relaxed and the food is both delicious and very well priced. João is a wonderful host and we loved spending the evening chatting with him and the other guests. The only reason we cannot give ten stars is the current power cut situation on the island, which also affects Gente d’aqui. A beautiful lodge like this deserves a generator or an off grid system so guests can enjoy its full potential. :)

Sao Tome is special. As an indivual traverller you need local infomation that you will get from the host, Carlos. The air condition in the living room and main bedroom makes the stay comfortable! Don't forget about the washing machine, internet, the (heat) water pump and the two dogs that protect your house. Outside there is this huge roof covered terrace to enjoy the cool sea breeze all day long.

Amazing location and flexible management. Also, the 'caretaker' family next door is superbly helpful. If I go back to Sao Tome, this is where I'd stay, for sure. Highly recommended. I loved the stay. New building. Quiet A/C. Quiet fridge. Great, spacious bathroom. Hot water, internet, everything was amazing by Sao Tome standards.
