The beach is across the road and not super clean. The breakfast was nice. We had dinner one night and they brought us the wrong order. It was very well cooked and presented though. The pool is central and nicely laid out, but there is no deep section and the water was cloudy... this could be due to heavy recent rains though.

The location is near the airport which is convenient. The pool is nice in the middle of the courtyard. The rooms are a good size and the bathroom is spacious with a good shower. The staff are very helpful. You are close to the chocolatiers shops for the city.

We were in a first floor room and our balcony was painted entirely grey, and when seated, you couldn’t see a much of a view - only the grey wall of the balcony so it wasn’t that nice to sit out on. The beautiful bar area around the pool closed at 6pm every night and they switched all the lights off, which was a real shame because it would have been a lovely place to eat or have a drink, and meant there was nowhere nice to sit outside in the evening - a real pity in a tropical country!

Friendly staff, nice layout, peaceful.

It is beachfront, but the beach doesn't belong to the hotel and its a bit dirty

Nice cosy place. Big and confortable rooms. Very clean overall. The staff was very nice and competent. The food in the restaurant is very good and not too expensive.

I do not like soapbar, it is not hygenic and the worst part is that we had to use the same soapbar as the earlier guests. Please change to liquid soap. English skills need a bit improvement

The breakfast was excellent

Nothing comes to mind. it was a good expérience.

Location was excellent. Close to airport and downtown. Beautiful beach across the street, pool was lovely and a gym. Nice breakfast.

Breakfast was a bit too monotonous even for 4 nights. We had problems with mosquitos in our room and were surprised to not have mosquito nets. Having to reserve the gym and only one person at a time.

The airport pick up and drop offs were a nice touch. We did two separate stays due to our trip to Principe. The second room in the villa that we spent 4 nights in was much better than the first stay. This hotel seems to be where the diplomats and politicians stay when in town on business.

The quiet, surrounding green garden and pool area. so relaxing and peaceful. Well kept gardens, cosy, spacious and stylish rooms. Delicious and large servings of food in the restaurant and room service. Friendly, helpful staff. Free airport shuttle and fast wifi all over the hotel. Location only 5 mins from the airport and location in the town across the street from a bay, loved looking out the window to the water while having breakfast. They kept our suitcases for us while we spent the next few days over in Príncipe. Secure parking for our jeep rental. Safe in the room, mini fridge to keep cold drinks and kettle to make tea/coffee in the room. We would stay here again.

Nothing I could seriously fault.

A really excellent hotel, well run, well appointed and very friendly. Breakfast was good but the lunch & dinner menus were excellennt, I can strongly recommend the crab soup!

The room was a lil run down and a bit basic. For the cost, I expected something a bit nicer. It wasn't bad, just didn't meet my expectations.

The food at the restaurant was great, and the staff was incredibly helpful.

The food I had at dinner time did not meet my expectation, it could have been way better knowing that the cuisine from São Tomé and Príncipe is very rich. Although Omali has an international menu, I feel that the execution of some dishes could have been better.

The atmosphere at Omali is very enjoyable, the rooms are clean and excellent breakfast selection, lots of options. The food I had for dinner could have been better, was not my favourite and prices are quite high, locals could never afford a dinner for almost €40 when the minimum wage is €50; therefore Omali is definitely a location only for tourists or locals with money.

The rooms do not have a enough light, very dark.

The breakfast was good. The bedroom was a nice size. The pool area was relaxing.

Overall the place was somewhat soulless and compared to the rest of the island was not at all a stunning location, however convenient for the airport and onwards trip to principe. Practical and comfortable but lacking character and identity.

The staff were nice and garden/pool area was cool. The food (other than breakfast) was really fantastic, like next level.

The hotel could have some renovations; it looks a bit worn out even though for São Tomé’s standards it’s still 5-star and is compared to all the other hotels on the island. The gym and tennis court need renovations. The beach right in front of the hotel isn’t really as nice as expected; not really inviting for swimming. You need a taxi to go into town, taxis can get pricy.

The location is very near airport and very good as a start point for further explorations. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is nice; very fresh and most of it giving a wonderful introduction to the local kitchen. The pool is very nice and great to spend some hours at. The gym and tennis court need renovations though.

Little variety in the breakfast options.

Great and friendly staff Clean rooms Helpful concierge

Stayed in March 2022

Menu is very limited with not many options for children. Tours offered by the hotel are over-priced. Better to look for options outside the hotel. The reception was often left alone because the same person is both receptionist and driver. Very inconvenient when trying to check out.

The property is well maintained, beds are confortable and food is delicious. Staff are helpful but not always available.

As a tea drinker, some black tea bags besides the lemongrass tea would be nice. Wine prices are a bit on the high side and selection limited.

Hard to find anything bad to say about this hotel - everything works well. The manager is very hands on and obviously well liked by her staff and it translates into an excellent experience throughout. There are copious common spaces to hand out and the rooms are spacious. The restaurant and bar were also good experiences. It was very convenient to. the airport and the airport transfers worked very well.
