Great communication with the team before arrival. Jane offered to set me up with tours etc. upon arrival, even trying to connect travellers to share excursions. The room was comfortable and had a good size. Air-con worked without a hitch, but insulation/ventilation was quite good, so I actually didn't need it much. The pool is a bonus, but the beach opposite is actually is nice for a city beach. It's a little far from shops/supermarkets, but close to the nicer restaurants in town. Unlike other places in São Tomé, I felt the staff genuinely enjoys working at Emoyeni Gardens and was always friendly and courteous.

They have a lot of historical sites and great beaches and islands with friendly people and lots of local cuisines. The city is in bad shape and bad roads and they need to develop the tourism sector particularly their tourist sites . The airport is bad for a tourism country like that and the hotels needs to up their services to meet a value for money and they need to learn English language which is an international language especially the staff of the various hotels and all tour guides. It’s a great place to visit at most for 5days.

Sao Tome is a fantastic destination.
Sao Tome is a fantastic destination. A safe tropical Island almost untuched from the outside world. It is not for unseasoned travellers or the ones who want a lot of service and/or Diesney like conditions. It can be a bit costly and you have to bring cash in form of smaller Euro banknote denominations.
Crime, political instability and diseases are much less than in surrounding countries, wich makes travelling here hazzelfree.
The climate in the dry season (june-august) feels comfortable, especialy considering that it is tropical Africa. The islands abound with green lush tropical forrest with a lot of exotic fruits, fantastic beaches and some interesting sights.
The food is good especially the fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the multitude of excotic fruits and vegetables.
In Sao tomé Town I especially recomend the following restaurants/cafees : Papa figo, Camoes and Pastelaria Central,
You get much more from your visit if you can speak portuguese.
No Visa for 14 Days travel for EU citizens, no need for yellow fever vaccination certficate if travelling from Europe. There is four flights a week with TAP (portuguese) and one flight a week with STP (Sao tome air company)

It´s a Paradise!!!
It´s a Paradise!!!
You have to go and see all the sand beaches and eat all the fresh fishes.
You have to experiment the santola in the restaurant with the same name.
Go to Ilheu das Rolas! Very beautiful!

Language barrier is too problematic.
Language barrier is too problematic. English is something that even restaurants have difficulty to understand.
Beaches are good. Can spend some lonely time at night without much trouble.
Brush up on Portuguese language very well or one may end up not having a good meal!
Loved to see the Boca De Inferno. The water gushing the rocks is awesome. Smooth roads give you the enjoyable drive towards the south of the island. The Great Dog Peak was worth a view!
Loved to eat seafood at the Ilyang Ilyang Restaurant with a peaceful ambience and English understanding staff.

The climate, the forest and the scenic tropical views were unmatched.
There are two main phenomenons regarding STome people: leve-leve and doce-doce.
The first is very welcome when on holiday but can become a problem when you want to get things going.
The second is more of a bittersweet feeling. It can be sweet when seeing it for the first time especially with children, but this turns to harrassment pretty quickly.
The host was a great help. We got picked up from the airport and we’re able to exchange Euros for dobras as well as buy a SIM card at a very good price. He took us to an amazing restaurant where we went back as it was the best food in Sao Tome city. Breakfast is delicious and filling. The bed is comfortable and bathroom has everything you need. Host also helped us organise collectivo to Porto Alegre for the next morning which we really appreciate as we didn’t have a car.
Perfect location to explore Sao Tome. Loved how spacious the rooms were, the wonderful common space that's also maintained very well for use by all guests and the cleanliness. The staff also went above and beyond to help out regardless of the language barrier so thank you for that. It's close to the city center and you can zoom around on a bike or taxi fairly easily or walk to most places. Needed to work a couple of days at the hotel and the WiFi was strong and reliable.
The room was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It is also located only a short 5 minute walk to various restaurants and places of interest in Sao Tome. The owner was very responsive and even helped arrange to puck me up at airport. This is truly a guest house with only two rooms and no reception/hotel desk; however, owner is available by phone and has made arrangements/partnered with connected businesses to help. Highly Recommend!
The owner was very friendly and took so god care of us! They helped us with flight booking to Principe They recommended and booked a very very good guide - Carlos. He spoked very good English and did know everything! The bungalow and the food was excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 of 5 stars we will go back to Joana and Ricardo at Roça Vale dos Prazeres next week before we leave the fantastisk country Sao Tomé e Prince ❤️ and go back home!
The staff were accommodating and helpful. They arranged a rental car and driver for us, making our visit stress-free and enjoyable.
The hotel is only five minutes drive from the airport and within easy walking distance from the town, several good restaurants, and the beach.
We also found the local people helpful and friendly throughout our trip. Sao Tome is truly a paradise. We could have easily spent more time there.
The owner Celia is super nice and helpful, and cooks delicious food. Very good breakfast with fresh juices, fruits, coffee, bread, omelet, etc. The self-made Marmalade is so yummy, I personally love the passion fruit one ( I normally do not eat any Marmalade).
If you would like to experience the real Sao tome local life with a beautifully decorated room facing the sea, here is exactly your place to stay.
A rare gem. Small charming hideout at the edge of the world, right next to Sao Tome's best beach that you'll probably have all for yourself. Friendly service, good housekeeping, basic but cosey bungalows, great food. No amenities like hot water and 24/7 electricity, but the privacy and care you get more than make up for it. Oh yeah, the dog really likes to get petted :)
The staff were sweet and the management is trying hard to bring positive influence such that the hotel staff could be come competent at service. Wifi works most time, though it was out for a few hours during my stay. I was upgraded which was appreciated, but was also only because thee were no other rooms with functioning AC, fans, in the category I booked.
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.
Excellent location within walking distance to the heart of the city but still quiet and tranquil. The owners were extremely helpful and provided great recommendations for days trips, activities and restaurants. They arranged a vehicle rental for us and a day trip to a beautiful island off the south shore of Sao Tome.
Praia is a great place for families, it has plenty of space for children to run and play.
Food is good, and staff are amicable and helpful.
The beach in front of the hotel is not very appealing, but you can easily take daily tours to different parts of the island to enjoy the more beautiful beaches.
Very central hotel with a restaurant on site. Included breakfast was standard and ok. Generator started in seconds after every power cut and they happened frequently. Fridge in the room is a big bonus. AC worked excellent. Intermar supermarket is on next block. Plenty of money changers outside.
The hotel is on a quiet side street so not much noise. Most places in Sao Tome were in walkable distance but you can easily get a taxi or moto from the hotel. I liked the design of the room and it had good AC. The staff were very helpful even when there was a language barrier.
This was one of my favourite places in Sao Tome! The bungalow was so nice and the whole property is very beautiful. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was super good. I really recommend this place and will return when I come back to this island
It's in the center of São Tomé and is a comfortable hotel, the staff is nice and very friendly. Good breakfast. The rooms have AC but the TV didn't work but for me it was no problem. All was very clean.
Beautiful hotel with many and varied communal spaces. Our room was large with all the amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar were well done. It is close to the airport.
The location is convenient for Sao Tome town and the airport. It is on the seafront and is well placed to take in the sunshine and sea. The rooms are very clean and comfortable.
