Omali São Tomé

Excellent customer service and breakfast. Large, clean and comfortable rooms, assistance with tours and airport shuttle.

Great hotel with fantastic staff! A really nice hotel on a beautiful island. The absolutely best thing with this hotel is the fantastic staff that is extremly helpful. They really do that little extra to help you any way they can. I can really recommend a stay at this hotel. You will not be disapointed

We stayed at the Omali at the beginning and the end of our Trip to Sao Tome & Principe for 2 nights each time. We booked throuhg a travel-agency, so transport and all was taken care of and worked without a hitch. As part of the "honeymoon-package", we got a free room-upgrade and were greeted with a bottle of Champagne once we got to our room. All in all we were quite happy with our stay, our introduction to the islands and the way we were treated at Omali. Arrival: We got picked up at the airport by a driver clearly identifiable by his wooden sign - though even "rival" taxi-drivers were directing us to him once we explained we had an arranged transfer. Check-in was quick and painless, baggage was taken to our room, which was bigger than we expected and everything worked as it should. Room (we had the Twin Room with Balcony): ＞ AC in both segments of the room ＞ Beach-towels and a bag to carry them to the pool or beach ＞ Shower with adequate water-pressure ＞ Mini-fridge, potable water, lemongrass to make tea and ground coffee to make in a french-press. (Though on our second visit, sadly the lemongrass was moldy) The rooms felt like they were being kept up, small things like slightly visible mold in bathroom seals, balcony doors having some gaps (which will make AC a bit less ecological) were noticed but nothing out of the ordinary for such a humid place. Food: The selection of warm foods for lunch or dinner is good, as is the quality! We felt prices were fair (compared to the CH, maybe not difficult...) - keeping in mind, that on an island, stuff just is more expensive, if you have to import it even more so. The much hyped chocolate-mousse didn't quite meet our expectation, though maybe thats not fair coming from foodies that love desserts and make them all the time. The cookie with peanut ice-cream on the other hand was delicious! Breakfast exceeded our expectations - it is of course not a standard european breakfast, so some things are "missing", but fresh fruits, baked goods (banana-cake, french toast) more than made up for that. Staff: We were always treated very friendly and felt welcomed from start to finish! From pick-up to check-in and being served at mealtime, staff was always accomodating, tried their best communicating in english with us and we always felt seen. Which we later learned, isn't a given even in a more expensive hotel on Principe... Location: Given that Omali was our "warming up" and "saying goodbye" to the two islands, we didn't much use the hotels amenities - gym, pool, tennis court went unused. It is nice though to just step outside the hotel and be greated by the view of the ocean. On our first day, we went on a trip walking alongside the beach to the capital Sao Tome, which was quite an experience. We were a bit taken aback by how quickly we entered what we identified as a slum-like district, but even though we felt like we didn't belong, there wasn't a moment were we felt unsafe. All and all, we enjoyed our time

Hotel com uma decoração linda! Bastante acolhedor, ficámos no hotel 2 noites + 1 depois de voltar da ilha do Príncipe. Sempre muito bem recebidos por todos. Os pequenos almoços excelentes, muito variados. Água de côco deliciosa! Os quartos muito bonitos e confortáveis.

Bom hotel. Bom staff, a qualidade da comida é boa. Hotel com boas condições de alojamento, boa piscina e serviço de bar junto a esta. Com jardim bonito e asseado. Com ginásio e campo de ténis. Hotel calmo, muito limpo e asseado. Diretora muito prestável e simpática assim como a maioria do restante staff. Recomendo.

Omali São Tomé : An absolutely outstanding experience! You can truly see and feel the personal touch and TLC that has gone into this place. The use of African fabrics for the furniture, placemats, and other décor adds a beautiful and authentic touch that perfectly reflects the spirit of the region. I absolutely loved my suite—spacious, comfortable, and designed with such attention to detail. The food was also exceptional, with every meal being a delight. Breakfast was delicious, and the variety of dining options, including the pizza oven by the pool, made every mealtime something to look forward to. This place is a true gem, and I can’t wait to return! 🇸🇹🏝️
