Strandsemester i São Tomé och Príncipe

- No sand beach - only rocks - but yes, a pool. - Renovation is needed. - Very expensive. - ‘Junior suite’ is a joke - an extra small room with a sofa - no window. - Nobody speak (or understand) simple English. - We booked ‘with view over the sea’. Ha - behind all the palm trees!! - Sunny and warm climate - that’s why we came for (good for the extremely poor Sao Tome people).

When I checked in I was basically thrown a key and shown to my room. Don't know if they remembered me from the previous stay a few days earlier but either way they should have made an effort to describe amenities and so on. This visit I ate dinner at the restaurant and while the food was good I had to wait over an hour from ordering until the meal was served. The outdoor seating is facing the road outside the hotel and made it a less enjoyable experience. On my final day I had a night flight so I paid extra to have my room available until the transfer to the airport but despite this housekeeping came and tried to clean the room three times. I would recommend the Omali if you only intend to sleep there between flights or as an outpost for tours to Sao Tome city and neighboring areas. It seemed like there were better options if you were willing to stay further from the city
