Probably one if not the best place on the island. The beach is pristine, a 1km stretch of sand with no one around. Turtles hatching is a must-see and magical moment. Considering the remote location, food options are pretty scarce but tasty and cheap. Remember that the last 15 km are the roughest roads you'll probably ever drive on, use a 4WD and consider spending only a few nights if you want to explore the entire island or you'll be stuck there. Nearby villages provide a vibrant community but there is nothing more than a few local bars; buy food and fill your tank in Sao Tome city because that's the nearest place in the supply chain you'll encounter on the road.

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.

The perfect view for the praia de piscina, the staff is good and the food is amazing ;) I recomend everyone for staying. The only thing that I missed was a ventilator.

This place is just paradise! The little bungalows are super cute and comfy, with air conditioning, big comfortable bed, big bathroom and a living room. You sleep listening to the waves because the houses are just steps away from the beach, and the view is just astonishing. There is a restaurant at the top, with even better views, and the staff there is super nice and helpful. You need to tell them in advance if you want to have dinner or lunch with them, and they prepare tasty dishes. This was, without any doubt, one of the best places I have stayed at, because of the cute houses and the unbelievable nature around them, along with the two beaches just few minutes away. We will be back!

Absolutely in the centre of the island life. There is no better location to get to be a part over all that. Easy access to beaches, port, bars-restaurants, forestwalks and equador. All in together is a hands down place. Wonderful.

I stayed here for one night and loved everything about it. The building has been beautifully kept and the staff are absolutely lovely. The food was incredible!
