I have been there 3 nights with my Wife and My 2 kids (7 years old). This was fantastic. A very peacefull place in the middle of nowhere. You really feel to be somewhere only few people went. Of course we went in May so not so many people in the resort (maybe 10), so this made our stay even... More

Suddenly we’re in paradise, but not that paradise a million people has already discovered. For some of us this could mean a lack of amusement. For me, it meant staying in a beautiful place, in a great symbiosis with the natural surrounding environment. If you want to take a walk through the forest, in a couple of minutes you can... More

Prestana Eauador island resort is amid a perfect natural setting. There was something special about the place. Out all the great views we cannot forget the amazing sunrise scene. I usually wake up very early in the morning which gave me the opportunity to see it. Coming to the hotel amenities, I would say it was average. I did have... More

First, we stayed at Rolas Island in Dec 2008 and not in Dec 2010 (tripadvisor won't let me set the correcte date.) The hotel is GREAT! By this I mean GREAT in São Tomé! Don't expect a 4* euro class hotel with 'super' pro staff and so on ... The staff is great, really friendly (they will try everything they... More

The hotel destroys everything in its surrounding. They make artificial roads thrue the whole island. They write in the "welcoming guide" that U should NOT eat local food (so U can eat the bad restaurant-food), they write that U onlyshould go with boats from the hotel because the locals boats are bad... Everything is AGAINST the locals... Worst of all:... More

We are recevied by the resort staff with local music, coconut water and a friendly smile. The rooms are in bungalows, roomy and very clean. The resort doesn´t have a lot of rooms so you can walk around without being disturbed. The staff is also very kind and friendly. You can swim in a salt water swimming pool just over... More

Just got back from a 7 day week in São Tomé. We've stayed in Pestana Equador for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. The hotel is superbly located overlooking a beautiful beach, the staff and animation team was well trained and always very friendly. We've decided to leave one day earlier than we had previously agreed to have more... More

We've just returned from the Ilheu das Rolas and it's simply the last paradise on earth ! Has worth every € we've spent. The 4* Pestana Equador hotel is the only hotel on the island, and besides the hotel and a very small village with no electricity, there are no roads, cars or bicicles and the only sound you can...
