“Fabulous opportunity how to enjoy Sao Tome stay”
Fantastic place when you stay in Sao Tome and you are looking for the comfort. Just at the beautiful beach with plenty free water activities. The garden around the bungalows is very good maintained and the staff look after that very well. Also big thanks to the manager, who didn’t hesitate to help to solve our problem with the rent a car. Definitely recommended!

“Fantastic beach-side hotel”
Amazing beach-side hotel with fantastic territory, views and facilities. We loved the room, the beach, and the lunchtime bar/restaurant. The front-desk staff were also very helpful to us, especially when helping organise a last-minute airport transfer.

“Great option both in terms of location and value for money”
Great location, rooms are modern and clean. Nice restaurant by the beach/pool serving almost all day long. Transfer to the airport is very convenient. Definitely much better to stay here than in any other hotel in the city.

Victor, the resort manager, is exceptionally helpful and kind. I would return to Club Santana Resort because of him.

“Great place to stay, especially if you want to do some activities”
The hotel is tucked away nicely away from the main road, and has a section of private beach separated from a local beach where a lot of local fisherman leave from. They will also take you out on their boats if you like! The dive school is great, and good value, and there are a number of free activities included in the stay, such as a boat trip to the island, kayak and paddle board rental, and a diving introduction. The food was surprisingly good, and great value considering it is included in the room rate, particularly the meat. The cooked fish was not so great (but the sushi and fish carpaccio were nice). Meals were a mix between a 3 course meal with a choice between two options per course, and buffets which changed things up nicely. Rooms were spotless, well sized, very comfy, and had lovely, high-end soap in the bathroom which was great to come back to.

“paradis beach, reasonably priced, victor is so helpful and the staff are lovely”
absolutely spectacular location. the cove is wonderful, particularly with the village at the end, it felt less like a tourist bubble. it is lovely eating in the beach bar. the restaurant at the top is good for breakfasts, but dinners are way better back at the beach, not in there, slightly kills the vibe.

“Quiet hotel for those looking for peace, nice interiors and a view of the sea”
Comfortable hotel, but far from the center of the capital of Sao Tome. Good dinners, especially on Saturdays. Quiet hotel for those looking for peace, nice interiors and a view of the sea

“Nice resort for relax and chill”
Great choice for relaxing time at Sao Tome (was pur last stay and it was a good choice). Personal is not good in English but in cases of need (broken tire from rented car and emergency wheel was broken, too!) they came to our spot to provide us with new tire and new emergency wheel. Good food, nice beach with a lot of fishes to observe. Santana Island is really beautiful, so take the trip there (its included)

“It was nice, good place to relax but please improve your breakfast menu, the dinner was awesome but.”
The breakfast was not that good. Not enough options and the juice was not natural. If someone is paying that amount at least the breakfast should be worth it. Please improve with your breakfast.

“Paradise like hotel”
The Hotel is located perfectly on the island and the views are incredible. The food is also amazing, both breakfast and dinner - Saturday they even have special dinner, which seems expensive at the first glance, but the quality is very good so definitely worth (also Sao Tome is not cheap country, you might be surprised by the prices). The beach is also nice
