I give this hotel four stars because of two things: the outdoor dining area with a sea-view and the friendly staff. I am glad I was there mostly during dry weather, which allowed me to enjoy the outdoor seating. However, the 15 minutes or so that I spent inside in the sitting area when it rained, it felt like sitting in an unkempt living room of a big family. It was indeed a family business and many people, possibly family members were helping out. They were all very friendly. The little pool was often full. There seemed to be many day-visitors and at times it was very loud. As for Wi-Fi, although they kept saying ”connect to D-link”, there was mostly no internet with that link. The rooms were small and dark and did not give a very clean feeling. My bed-sheets had blood stains from mosquito bites of the previous guest. The family seemed to be cutting corners in many things. Even the soap was a left-over last piece of what looked like the soap used for doing laundry. Maybe local tourists had no problem with this, but I found it rather unclean. I am glad I had the experience and I did enjoy having a drink or two by the seaside. So, I can forget about the not-so-good stuff in the hotel.

Great hotel, very welcoming, I recommend it except for the downside, the food, same thing every day

We stayed at this hotel for two weeks in February 2024 as part of a TUI trip. We really loved the hotel, in particular the traditional African look of the rooms, the beautiful garden grounds of the hotel leading straight to the beach, well stocked in beach chairs and umbrellas. The room was beautiful with a little terrace, built to stay cool in the heat. The AC was one of the quietest I have experienced. The pool, whilst not the largest, was more than sufficient and also surrounded by the lovely gardens and a very pleasant place to stay. It could do with a bit of renovation with tiles missing and a bit more thorough cleaning, and was very heavily chlorinated which was a put-off for swimming any length of time. I loved the food at the hotel with an extensive breakfast buffet, as well as generally fantastic dinners. Some days there were buffets and some days it was a set 3 course menu with 3 choices of starters, mains and desserts. I much preferred the buffets which were real events, particularly the seafood buffet (buffet de la mer) and the grand buffet. No drinks are provided at all with dinner so most people ordered payable bottles of water every day. There was a lot of choice of seafood including oysters, sea urchins, which I was quite impressed with. Dinner was generally accompanied by live music. During the set menu days it was sometimes hard to get served and very very slow at times, particularly on days when there were tables of large groups of (important?) people, and if you came a bit later than the 7.30 start of dinner. For us it was particularly slow on the first day when we arrived, a Monday, when I was also really hungry after the flight! Unfortunately after the second week's buffet on Wednesday I also suffered very severe food poisoning and was in bed the whole of Thursday with vomiting and diarrhea, I could not really eat for a few days, it was terrible. I do understand that these are things that happen in such hot weather despite all the precautions being taken by the hotel. There is a lovely beach bar by the hotel beach with a Saturday happy hour. I think it would have been lovely to have a daily happy hour. While the beach looks pleasant enough with palm trees and lovely chairs, several showers, the water feels absolutely freezing at about 22c when the air temperature reaches 39c some afternoons. The sea is the fridge! Basically the sea is too cold and the air. too hot. And it is not white sand nor turquoise, so kind of ok but that's it for the beach. The hotel has security guards at the beach so that guests do not get hassled by beach vendors, which really helps. Unfortunately they do not stop the people approaching you when you actually go in the water, which can still be a bit of an annoyance. Overall for the trip, the hotel was the best part, as we did not much enjoy the country of Senegal which had nothing to offer in the way of attractive sights. Prices for restaurants, trips and everything are sky high and completely ridi
