The accommodation was wonderful, an oasis inside of the beautiful jungle. There is a beautiful garden, filled with exotic tropical flowers. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. We had good sleeps since the nights were quiet, dark and peaceful. Maria, the host, was warm and hospitable. Food is the best! Very yummy fish and very fresh fruits and vegetables, and the coffee is the best in the world!

If you want to experience ancient Sao Tomean times - it is time to go to Roca Sao Joao de Angolares. Incredible roca (plantation house), very clean, complex, with perfect meals served on roofed terrace with view of the sea, village and the evergreen jungle. High seilings, arc windows and doors, wooden stairs, wooden veranda, and lot of woodwork... On top of that no AC to destroy the authentic feeling - ceiling fan slowly moves hot air away. The roca is a perfect base for southern trips (equator island, Malanza and souther beaches).

The room we were staying is excellent with very good mattresses, a almost silent AC and right across the new market. Absolutely perfect for exploring the city walking around. Almost every location of interest is in walking distance or easy to get to by mototaxi or taxi. The host Cassio will help with all the information you need and the two ladies who are responsible for the breakfast and cleaning are friendly and attentive.

Very beautiful place,staff very professional and very family atmosphere. I come back for sure

Always clean, friendly and helpful staff. Very affordable and close to a lot of places.

Okay, this is a true gem. If you just look for a tropical paradise, look no further. The property is right on the beach, and what beach it is! Totally clean, wide, sandy, with roaring waves that put you to sleep each night. At night, in winter months, five species of turtles come to lay eggs and I saw them each night. There is a river cutting the beach in two; and when you cross the river, the beach becomes just impeccable. Magical. You can even enter the river that runs to the sea and swim upstream. The vistas you get around you are simply breathtaking. I have never seen such beauty in my life and I have traveled quite a bit. The bungalows are simple, but clean and comfortable. The mosquito net worked very well, but there were very few mosquitoes anyway there. I took the Malarone daily, but people around me did not. I asked around the long time residents and no-one ever had malaria, while living on the island. I would not take them pils again. There is a shared toilet and shower there - both very clean and functional. The water in the shower is cold-lukewarm- but you will pray it were colder, since it is hot outside. The owner Tomás is truly very helpful. He speaks ONLY Spanish and Portuguese, but with the help of google translate we were able to communicate very well. He is very helpful and will do anything to accommodate your wishes and needs. He helped with the trip to Isla das Rolas (the Equator trip) as well as with the trek to the foot of Cao Grande. Oh, by the way, you can see Cao Grande from the alcove on the premises or from the point where the river runs to the sea. Also from the river itself. There is wifi at the reception and around, and this wifi is good, reliable and strong. The entire complex is totally eco, powered by solar energy only. Breakfast is included in the price, but dinner can be ordered with Tomás. It is usually fish or octopus and, together with the breakfast can become a bit repetitive so I advise you to bring some provisions with you.

excellent meals and very sympathetic staff

Beautiful location, very friendly and helpful staff and delicious food at the restaurant.

We were so lucky to stay a few days at this lovely place. The accommodation, the view from the room, the green area outside, the delicious meals (breakfast and dinner) were all fantastic. Great 'Thank you!' to Celia, our host, who was very welcoming from the first moment we met. Private transport to / from the airport or Sao Tome town was organised by te host but we also used the local public transport (short walk to the main road).

Cool place with great restaurant and beach within few minutes of walk. Stunning views from bungalow
