My partner and I live in Sao Tome and needed a break from the city. We usually stay at Jale beach ecolodge, but decided to try N'Guembú for the first time. It was excellent. They have an AC in sea view rooms, hot water, a generator, wifi, comfortable beds and clean space. The beach has always been one of our favorites. Check in was smoothe, staff speak English. Breakfast is simple but filling. A definite, well reserved 5 star review from us ( I am manager at Emoyeni Gardens hotel, and this is my new favorite place to go and get away from things).

Very quiet and relaxing location, beautiful views, good spot to go to Sao Tome beaches and Ilha Rolas. Beds and rooms were comfy enough although a bit small. The spot is a little ways from the Porto Alegre village so there’s no noise during the night at all. Also be wary that you need a 4x4 to get there but that goes for all roads south of Sao Joao do Angolares :)

The shower door was a little bit broken, no warm water in mornings (only evenings), waiting for breakfast took up to an hour. This being Sao Tome some roughness is a given so it’s all ok - just pointing out what to expect :)

This place is just paradise! The little bungalows are super cute and comfy, with air conditioning, big comfortable bed, big bathroom and a living room. You sleep listening to the waves because the houses are just steps away from the beach, and the view is just astonishing. There is a restaurant at the top, with even better views, and the staff there is super nice and helpful. You need to tell them in advance if you want to have dinner or lunch with them, and they prepare tasty dishes. This was, without any doubt, one of the best places I have stayed at, because of the cute houses and the unbelievable nature around them, along with the two beaches just few minutes away. We will be back!

Nguembu is located in the southern point of São Tomé, so getting there isn't exactly easy. The only main road is very damaged after São João Angolares, and Porto Alegre is a small village with not much to see or do. To get to Nguembu from the village the road is hard as well, make sure you have a 4x4 and you'll be fine, but be prepared for a lot of bumps. Nonetheless all the effort was worthy, in this area you can find the best beaches in the island of São Tomé. The facilities are very good, especially the rooms with AC and very clean. Beds were ok. It gives access through 5min stairs to a nice beach, though the sea was a bit rough and hard to swim on. Staff is very friendly. Plan in advance your meals, so the staff can arrange it. Good breakfast. The staff will help you schedule activities in the area. Given the extremely remote location, it's amazing how good the owners keep this property.

I think the beds could be more comfortable. There was one temporary water and power shut down, but the staff said they were improving their electrical system to avoid that in the future. It could also have a lounge area where guests could just lay back and enjoy the surroundings.

The view was absolutely spectacular. If you want to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Sao Tomé, this place was perfect. Antonio was so kind and helpful. And the food was great and plentiful. The wifi was strong and worked well all over the property.

The beds were a bit too soft for me (I like a very firm mattress), and the road getting there is quite difficult/tiring, but that is not something they can control. There really weren't any drawbacks. Lovely place. I would stay there again .

AMAZING LOCATION, FRIENDLY STAFF & COMFORTABLE ROOMS! Breakfast and dinner was amazing, however, not included in the room price but it was so worth it. The views from the restaurant is breathtaking (you can see Ilha das Rolas from there). Bungalows are clean, comfortable and simply amazing. You have access to 2 private beaches from the resort. It is the perfect place to relax and use it as a base to visit the south beaches and Ilha das Rolas.

Liked EVERYTHING! :)

The location is amazing, on a beautiful beach. The staff is super nice. António is really nice and helpful and the food prepared by Menta is amazing. Sleep was good, since the mattress was very good!

It was all great. Getting to Porto Alegre can be a challenge due to the roads (so make sure to rent a 4x4!) but definitely worth it.

While everything was delicious in the island, this was the best dinner. The beaches are amazing, especially the one on the left =)

Breakfast could have been better. The rooms are very well designed but needs some maintenance.

Probably one of my best and fondest travel memories! From location to staff

The view, the beaches and the restaurant make it worth spending two nights here! The bungalows are overprized for the facilities.

Quite small, toilet not “complete” (bungalow 1) or broke (bungalow 2) No toilet paper first day.
