São Tomé
This bungalow resort was about to open during research. It's similar to neighbouring Praia Inhame ecolodge, but with a few disadvantages: the beach is not as protected, the restaurant (menu €15) is a hike up a hill, and the bungalows have tiny decks. It's brand new, however, and nicely furnished.
Signed seaward between Porto Alegre and Praia Inhame.
