Praia Messias Alves, Santana, São Tomé and Príncipe –

Lock in a great price for Club Santana Beach & Resort – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff were amazing, so helpful and I loved the extra free activities - yoga on the beach, paddlerboardng, kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, trip around Sao Tome. Stayed there for 7 days and was very sad to leave. Also very safe for a single traveller. The manager quickly sorted out a mix up with my bill. He was very helpful - the whole customer service experience was terrific.

Judith, United Kingdom

Great hosting by Laurent, who was a familiar sight throughout our stay and eager to help out. Setting is spectacular and the grounds well-maintained. Enjoyed all the beach activities provided and especially appreciated the inclusion of expeditions as part of the package. We loved our nature hike to the black sand beach with Hi and the boat trip to Isla Santana.

Warren, United States of America

The facilities were quite nice, the bungalows and their placement overlooking the Atlantic was very nice, pleasant breezes most of the time, made enjoying the outdoors much nicer. The beach and restaurant next to it were a great way to spend some of the afternoon. Staff were friendly and helpful. WiFi throughout the resort was great, could stay connected at the beach, outside the bungalows, etc.

Ian, Canada

Very nice hotel with a perfect location on an isolated beach. Friendly staff always present to help. We will come back!

Nicolas, Ghana

View from breakfast was amazing; Music at dinner (Saturday bbq) very good; very private resort better thother large hotels in Sao Time.

Bryan, United States of America

Absolutely a first-class experience! The location was spectacular, the food excellent, the beds nice, and in general the whole place was just very chill. Bonus points for the all the included extras: Snorkeling, scuba diving, boat trip to Santa Ana Island, and coffee plantation tour. Very well-kept territory and just a pleasure to be there. The managers were super-attentive and accessible.

Peter, United States of America

The manager Pierre was very responsive, attentive and professional. He helped us with the money exchange as well as with the transfer to the next accomodation. The place was very clean, the bungalows are surrounded by nature and the beach itself was safe for swimming. The food was great and the personnel was very nice. Thank you for the nice Christmas time.

Jozef, Slovakia

The location, staff and ambiance were amazing. We had a great waiter during our stay, Vanderlei. He was incredibly professional and kind.

Paulo, United States of America

Beautiful resort, nice beach, very good restaurant(s), helpful staff. Everything was excellent. Saõ Tomé is perfect destination if you want to spend your holiday in a quite place without a lot of tourists. Of course, there is a minimum of historical sites (except for example small fort in the town of Saõ Tomé and coffee factory/museum in Monte Café), but you can visit Obo National Park, Cão Grande or just walk around or relax.

Food was a bit of a mixed bag. Enjoyed the fixed menu but the buffet was repetitive and the food not kept hot. Communication was tricky at times (Portugese and French are the main languages spoken) but staff was good at figuring out what you needed.

Loved it all......apart from monkeys and birds in cages in grounds.
We spent 7 nights and were so sorry to leave. Staff all very helpful and Laurent the manager went beyond call of duty in Customer service, always willing to help with any problems. he even arranged for a free massage for us. He was there on arrival and departure and provided warming shot of local rum each time! Breakfasts were sublime and excellent varied dinner menu. two excursions included in price of stay plus free shuttles into town. Endless supplies of bottled water. coffee machine in room and when I asked for milk to be provided it appeared immediately. We would go back and without doubt the best place we stayed on the islands.

“A wonderful place.”
- • Leisure trip

A lovely place to relax. The bungalows and very comfortable and have little balconies which over look the sea. We stayed here for only 2 nights at the end of a 2 week holiday on the Islands, and immediately following the two day climb up Pico de Sao Tome so it was a perfect place to relax but we wished we had stayed longer and learnt to dive from the onsite dive centre. We enjoyed the beach & pool with the numerous sun loungers amongst the palm trees. We snorkelled and kayaked off the beach (both supplied by the resort). Also highly recommend the boat trip to the island. The restaurant location is beautiful - up on the cliff top with coastal views and the breakfast buffet had an excellent choice. The smoothies from the pool bar are amazing and there is an extensive selection of drinks from the beach bar. The staff were friendly, some speak English but we got by with our basic French at other times. Wi-fi around the site was excellent, including the beach. We hope to return again.

Had a problem with the shuttle reservation. I booked a shuttle for 5am and the driver appeared at 05.50...apparently he was misinformed in relation to where I was going. Confirmed and reconfirmed the night before in person with reception and on the phone and still had a problem on the day. Luckily I had given myself plenty of time to catch my flight.
The location is fantastic and the bungalows are exceptional. Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of fruit and pastries. Very nice spread! Dinner was good some nights, did not like the food on buffet nights (Wednesday, Friday and Saturday). Staff are very friendly on the pool bar.

Actually it was all perfect... but the price is pretty high
There is so much I loved, I might miss some... but definitely it is the perfect hideaway to triac and switch off. The location is beautiful in all aspects, the nicely placed bungalows in the huge garden, all forest around and the coast. And the private beach with sun chairs partially hidden between palmtrees is so nice! The Restaurants are good and the food has a very high quality (I loved the Sushi and the Saturday Barbecue in particular)...and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I hope to come back again. And actually I also came for diving. Try the dive center next Atlantic, next door!
