Mucumbli

Lugar bonito y con buenas vistas. Personal amable, con su ritmo "leve leve", nos pusieron en una habitación con vistas al mar a pesar de haber reservado una con vistas al jardín. Comida muy rica y a precio estándar de Sao Tomé. El único problema fue no tener wifi en la habitación, ya que mi pareja necesitaba internet para trabajar. Cobran tasa turística, lo cual no estaba especificado en la web.

Our adventure to Sao Tome continued with a short stay in Neves at Mucumbli. The rooms overlook the ocean through dense forest visited by love birds, grey parrots, sunbirds and many more, early in the morning. There was even a daily walk by of residential donkeys and their foal. In darkness (in all places), watch out for large land crabs scampering around. I even found one in my drying out clothes, halfway up a door. We went on an organised guided walk into the rainforest to a waterfall along an aqueduct. Even with advance warning from our tour operator, we were all taken back just how difficult this walk was as you need to roll up your trousers and wade through water up to your knees in total darkness through two tunnels for 100 - 400 m!! Rewarding and fun if you are prepared with beach shoes and/or a change of footwear. Another bird watching walk was great hearing owls, rollers, seeing weavers, kingfishers and bishops (I'd never heard of, or seen these before). The rooms were fitted with fans, no AC, with large beds, lovely furnishings, plenty of space and a balcony. The bathroom was beautifully fitted with a shower over a stone floor. The bungalows were so well positioned, you had the feeling of being alone in the middle of the forest. The restaurant served up a reasonable breakfast, table service. Evening meals were tasty using local sourced ingredients and the bar provided a good range of drinks and wines. I thoroughly enjoyed grilled octopus - the best I ever tasted but having tried sea snails, will not need to try these ever again!

Sehr tolle Unterkunft, das Restaurant war top und die Lage des Hotels ebenfalls. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit. Leider einen Stern abzug, da mir die Lage des Zimmers zwischen Rezeption und Restaurant nicht gefallen hat. Es war dadurch den ganzen Tag über laut. Da gibt es eindeutig schönere Zimmer auf dem Gelände
