Mucumbli

Our adventure to Sao Tome continued with a short stay in Neves at Mucumbli. The rooms overlook the ocean through dense forest visited by love birds, grey parrots, sunbirds and many more, early in the morning. There was even a daily walk by of residential donkeys and their foal. In darkness (in all places), watch out for large land crabs scampering around. I even found one in my drying out clothes, halfway up a door. We went on an organised guided walk into the rainforest to a waterfall along an aqueduct. Even with advance warning from our tour operator, we were all taken back just how difficult this walk was as you need to roll up your trousers and wade through water up to your knees in total darkness through two tunnels for 100 - 400 m!! Rewarding and fun if you are prepared with beach shoes and/or a change of footwear. Another bird watching walk was great hearing owls, rollers, seeing weavers, kingfishers and bishops (I'd never heard of, or seen these before). The rooms were fitted with fans, no AC, with large beds, lovely furnishings, plenty of space and a balcony. The bathroom was beautifully fitted with a shower over a stone floor. The bungalows were so well positioned, you had the feeling of being alone in the middle of the forest. The restaurant served up a reasonable breakfast, table service. Evening meals were tasty using local sourced ingredients and the bar provided a good range of drinks and wines. I thoroughly enjoyed grilled octopus - the best I ever tasted but having tried sea snails, will not need to try these ever again!

Um lugar encantado, Tudo é fantástico Mas sem dúvidas o mais encantador é o jardim, acordar com o barulho dos passarinhos, ouvir o mar. Comida muito boa Funcionários esforçados para ajudar Decoração magnífica Voltaremos sem dúvidas Estámos adorar

Sehr tolle Unterkunft, das Restaurant war top und die Lage des Hotels ebenfalls. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit. Leider einen Stern abzug, da mir die Lage des Zimmers zwischen Rezeption und Restaurant nicht gefallen hat. Es war dadurch den ganzen Tag über laut. Da gibt es eindeutig schönere Zimmer auf dem Gelände

A great little resort with an ‘eco focus’. The food was good and chalet/rooms great. Staff were friendly but few spoke English which did affect ordering drinks and food. The location is great allowing access to local ‘old cocoa plantations’ and fishing villages. I came here 5 years ago and the resort has been upgraded. I would certainly stay here again.

Muito bem situado paisagem deslumbrante, restaurante também com vista falésia, boa comida e variada, muito simpaticos, as casas são idesis para quem gosta de vida selvagem, com toda a vida selvagem a sua volta até pode ter um cobra a dar as boas noites contem com uma fauna e flora exuberante, de referir que as casas muito bem decoradas, não têm A/C, TV , NET e pior de tudo nem um telefone para ligar para a recepção, realmente tem o numero de telefone, mas temos ser nós do nosso a fazer a chamada o que convém comprar um cartão pre pago. Se ficarem numa casa mais distante à noite têm de ter uma lanterna para irem até ao restaurante para evitarem de pisar alguma fauna local, resumindo, se quer um experiência proximo de natureza selvagem este é o seu local indicado, mas se quer estar no meio da natureza mas com alguma comodidade, talvez seja melhor reconsiderar.

Neste hotel só foi lá almoçar. Gostei bastante do lugar, gostei da vista( é soberba) e gostei dos pratos. Pessoal muito atencioso, pratos bem confecionados com produtos da terra, carta com bons vinhos Portugueses e boa sobremesas. Provem o bolo de chocolate é optimo. Apesar de não ficar lá hospedado os bungalows têm muito bom aspecto e vista. Vale a pena ir lá.
