Cabins in Santana

The views were amazing and the staff were all very kind and helpful. Overall, we had a very nice experience staying in Gente D'Aqui. Special thanks to Sara, who was our host at that time, and was very friendly and looked after our family very well. Prior to travelling we also had a lot of help and assistance from Joao, who answered all of our questions promptly, in a very kind and patient manner. Gente D'Aqui is well-located for visiting all the tourist highlights on the island of Sao Tome.

Gorgeous location offering a stunning view over Praias dos Tamarindos (5-10 min walking distance). Zen atmosphere with the sound of waves, crickets at night and birds during the day. The owner Adi and his staff welcomed and treated us as we were in a 5* establishment. They were very accommodating day and night. There are 2 identical bungalows with a huge terrace. They are set in the middle of the plantation. The bed is comfortable and the fan works powerfully. Hot water with good pressure went the pump is on. The food is exceptional at a very good price. We had a gastronomical tasting for our first night. Ingredients are mainly from their plantation and according to the catch of the day for the seafood. Their fresh Cajamanga juice is addictive. We initially planned to stay 1 night but ended up staying 4 nights. We really enjoyed our experience, the kindness and the smile of this place.

I stayed in Eco-Por my last two days in São Tomé. It was just perfect. Felt like I am in middle of tropical forest and I was alone. Beautifully designed, clean home. I had an accident on my way there, ended up in hospital couple of hours as I broke my leg. Arrived there in a taxi with plastered leg. The staff (Rodrigo) did everything to make sure I was okay, checked on me every few hours, brought me me food from village. I managed to get rest in my way long journey home. Place has, I believe no restaurant etc but next to a big village for any need. Couldn’t walk around the area but sitting on my private terrace, looking down to river and listening the nature really made stay there. Breakfast was not included but staff (Fabio, his name I think) made very nice breakfast my two morning there. Many fruit, juice, hot drink, letter and fresh bread was more than enough. Ned was on hard side but was comfortable for me. WiFi, aircon, mini fridge worked very well. It was a perfect way of ending my active holiday in São Tomé.

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!
