Food was delightful with lots of choice and a variety of fish, meat and veg-friendly options! A nice location on the beach, and great to have hot water during certain hours The bird life around the gardens is magnificent, with pin-tailed whydahs darting around right in front of the cabin! And a rooster who wakes everyone up at 3:30am!.
The boat to the equatorial island seems to go daily, for which you pay a guide, boat transport and for lunch on the island.
Road travel to reach the place is very difficult, takes 2.5 hours, and airport transfer costs 80 euros each way (for 160 euros, you're better to rent a car and have freedom to go to other places).
Cabins could use some work to make them more comfortable, for example the lighting really needs improvement. Also, staff need better training to understand pre-paid booking sites. If you book this hotel on Trip.com, make sure to bring a printed receipt and even a credit card statement to be prepared to fight when they insist that you pay in cash as well, even though you have a receipt saying you pre-paid by credit card. (I forwarded it to them by email and WhatsApp three times when they kept asking for it and saying I was supposed to depart a day earlier than I had booked for, and then they still chased me to the parking lot demanding cash payment.) They will also ask you to pay tourist tax on top of your room and VAT because they don't understand whether it is included. (They seem confused with *********** where you have to pay in cash on site - don't count on using a credit card.) Also they don't make change in euros so you will need small denomination euro notes. While I had gone here to relax after a stressful work trip in West Africa, these problems with staff not understanding booking and pre-payment and mistaking my date of departure made my stay unnecessarily stressful almost to the point of regretting my trip. Travel is an adventure, isn't it?

Nette Lodge, gutes Essen, guter Bungalow, freundliche Angestellte. Es gab während unseres ganzen Aufenthaltes kein Warmwasser, also Kaltduschen! Starnd OK, aber an der Westküste gibt es schönere Strände. Überfahrt zur Ilheu das Rolas klappte perfekt (€10 p.P.)

Lá struttura e la spiaggia sono molto belle per la media della zona. C’è una bel bar ristorante con tavoloni vista mare, ma in zona si trova cibo più buono. A causa di un presunto guasto non funzionava l’acqua calda. I bungalow hanno zanzariera e veneziane ma non vetri quindi c’è aria all interno, che in alcune stagioni non é piacevole.

Um hotel muito bem situado, em frente ao mar, com praia tranquila e sem ondas, água bastante quente e muita sombra.
Acesso facilitado ao Ilheu das Rolas através de transporte direto do hotel (com ou sem guia). Funcionários atenciosos e simpáticos.
Os bungalows tinham boas condições e não eram extremamente quentes em comparação com outros locais.
Aspeto menos positivo - valor cobrado pelas refeições. Achámos demasiado caro para a quantidade servida e relativamente ao custo de vida na ilha.
De resto, 5*

Dececionante e longe do que é prometido
Tivemos uma experiência bastante dececionante no Inhame Eco Lodge. À chegada, fomos colocados numa cabana sem vista mar, ao contrário do que indicava a nossa reserva. A porta nem sequer fechava corretamente — estava presa com uma mesa de cabeceira — e as redes mosquiteiras estavam rasgadas. As janelas também não fechavam bem, o que gerou uma corrente de ar desconfortável durante a noite.
Pedimos para trocar de cabana e, inicialmente, sugeriram-nos um quarto ainda pior, no fundo do eco lodge. Recusámos, especialmente tendo em conta o preço elevado por noite. Só no dia seguinte é que nos atribuíram uma cabana em melhores condições — o único ponto positivo da estadia.
Durante as cinco noites em que estivemos no alojamento, nunca tivemos água quente. No primeiro dia, quando questionámos sobre o assunto, a resposta foi simplesmente: “Estamos com problemas na bomba”. Nenhuma explicação mais detalhada, nenhum pedido de desculpas. Tomámos banho de água fria todos os dias.
O pequeno-almoço é fraco e repetitivo. O jantar é sempre em regime de buffet e custa 20€ por pessoa, o que consideramos um exagero face à qualidade da comida oferecida.
A forma como alguns colaboradores falam com os turistas é simplesmente inadmissível. Não foram todos — houve quem fosse simpático e prestável — mas houve também interações com um nível de falta de educação e profissionalismo que não se espera de um espaço que se apresenta como ecológico, acolhedor e de qualidade. A falta de empatia e de cuidado no atendimento deixou-nos verdadeiramente desconfortáveis.
Acabámos por sair antes da data prevista, porque as condições eram realmente más. A praia em frente ao lodge está cheia de lixo — sabemos que não é culpa direta do estabelecimento, mas também não parece haver qualquer esforço de manutenção ou limpeza da área.
No geral, aquilo que o Inhame Eco Lodge promete nas descrições e fotografias não corresponde minimamente à realidade. Não nos importamos com simplicidade ou conforto básico, desde que o preço seja ajustado. Mas, neste caso, estão claramente a vender uma experiência que não cumprem, o que é inaceitável. As cabanas precisam urgentemente de manutenção e o serviço, no geral, deixa muito a desejar.
