Pestana Miramar São Tomé

Wonderful place to stay. Free airport transfer (although the bus originally took us to the other Pestana hotel); friendly and informative receptionist; given a very large room, which was kept very clean. The pool was out-of-order, but we could use the clean infinity pool at Pestana São Tomé when we wanted. Good buffet breakfast. We used the bar twice and the restaurant once. Because of the low number of residents, they were virtually empty apart from us. We enjoyed our stay. The only issue was that the area outside floods quite extensively when it rains. This happened twice during our stay.

Nice hotel location and very peaceful. Staff make you to feel at home with a warm welcome and always on hand to help. Restaurant and Bar with a good offers food and drinks great selection of local cuisine. A fantastic pool and public areas. A place to return for sure in a near future.

Warm welcome with Madeira wine with different flavours all the staff are very friendly and courteous, Good location and perfect sunset view. Well trained restaurant staff and delicious food feel likes home all the way with fantastic service , Keep your kindness and hospitality service all the time .

The hotel is very well located for family stays with a very big pool. They have a very cosy restaurant which serves very good Pizzas and Burgers. One can hear the sea and walk just out to get the best view of the Ocean. They have cute coffee shop which serves very good pastries with excellent views of the sea. The island has untouched beauty to explore with many excursions. The staff is very courteous and helpful and willing to go that extra mile. Isaiah, Laetiviana and Guimaldo are an asset for this hotel.

The oldest hotel in São Tomé, well located in the city, a large swimming pool and attentive service from all the staff. Despite being in the city, we were able to relax and disconnect from everything else. Surely on the next visit, i will stay once again in this charming Hotel!!

My wife and I stayed 5 nights, arriving at 1PM on the hotel’s TMS Airport shuttle. A nice receptionist assisted by the English-speaking manager copied my reservation, produced a key and a porter carried one of our bags upstairs to check the room. We soon discovered it’s underperforming AC and with the head housekeeper, we chose an acceptable room, then made payment with a VISA card. #209 was tiled opening to a sliding door closet with a small refrigerator and safe, across a fully outfitted bathroom with a tub shower(broken mount for handheld shower). Next was a long shelf with an average reception cable TV(AXN shows/movies and Nat. Geo. in English, France 24 in French and more local channels) across 2 comfortable twin beds put together. The nice sized room had proper lighting/outlets/hot water, quiet AC, good secure WIFI and was serviced daily. Glass doors had a lovely wide view of the large garden’s huge pool which we used daily. The 7AM breakfast buffet was attentively serviced; juices, fruits, wheat flakes with several seeds and grains, egg station, cold meats/cheese, breads/rolls/jam and decaf/coffee/tea. -This somewhat aging hotel(built in 1986, refurbished in 1996) has a comfortable lobby, beautifully tiled restaurant and a landmark pool surrounded by a spacious garden, all kept very clean and welcoming by diligent staff. Our Sao Tome manager, trained in Lisbon, went out of his way to acquire our needed Gabon Visas from its embassy recently moved to the suburbs. -We visited the 2008 sister hotel(their nice English-speaking Portuguese manager arranged a tour) located 600m south, noting its ocean view rooms, spa/gym and upgraded breakfast(muesli, more meats/cheese & chocolate cake) but its infinity pool and unshaded garden are both small and tightly sited. -We freely walked around the city center: Fort Museu Nacional, Catedral de São Tomé, Igreja da Conceição, Mercado Municipal, shopped at the Colombo Supermarket and ate lunches at Papa Petisco, Papa-Figo and here at our air conditioned Restaurante Le Baron.
