Royal Horizon Baobab - All Inclusive

Royal Horizon Baobab - All Inclusive

4.3/571 Reviews
We stayed in one of the beachfront bungalows and it was an excellent stay. The bungalow was right on the beach with a veranda with 2 chairs and 2 sun loungers under a thatched parasol. The room which was air conditioned was very clean and cleaned daily. The bed was extremely comfortable. Our bungalow was fairly close to the reception / dining complex which meant we had some noise from the various entertainments but it wasn't too intrusive. Some bungalows are further away but that means a longer walk to get to the restaurant etc. The grounds are beautiful and scrupulously maintained, as is the beach which is very clean with safe bathing areas. There are 2 pools, but we didn't use them. The food is good with a wide selection. I would hesitate to call it excellent but we were pleased with the quality and choice. We only used the buffet, there is an a la carte restaurant but we didn't use it. The overwhelming majority of the visitors are French, consequently we found that very few of the staff spoke good English. We managed OK with our very basic French but some may struggle. We found it difficult to change money. Sterling is not accepted and the ATM in the hotel only accepts Visa cards - when it is working. They do accept payment in Euros. We would recommend the Royal Horizon Baobab and would happily go there again.
Royal Saly

We stayed at the hotel for 9 nights with our two young children and some friends who also had their kids with them. We found it a real mix - the setting was really beautiful - gorgeous beach, lovely pool and nice looking huts to stay in, but there were lots of annoying problems throughout the holiday. Firstly, the food looked pretty decent - but it tasted fairly average unfortunately. As the hotel is all inclusive, this left us feeling like we were a bit stuck for dinner (although we ended up going to another hotel to eat a couple of times for a bit of variation). The puddings in particular weren't great - they looked awesome, but often just didn't taste of very much. Secondly, dinner is from 8-10pm. Maybe this is fine for many guests from the Mediterranean, but it was really late for our kids (who are normally in bed by 8) and there was no flexibility offered and no way of ordering dinner early from the restaurant or something. That left us with ratty kids getting tired and staying up late, or going to bed hungry. Another annoyance was the very loud music being pumped out by the pool. The clientele when we were there were hardly 18-30 party animals - almost everyone either had kids or were in the older age bracket, so it didn't seem to fit and ruined the general feeling of peace on the beach and down by the sea. The loud music continued into the night with raucous drum performances every few nights and loud music and singing on others. That started at 10pm and went on for a couple of hours most nights, keeping us and the kids up even later. For families I would recommend asking to stay further away from the restaurant so this would be less of an issue. Also, although there weren't many mosquitoes visibly around, even in the evenings, we got bitten to death at night. There were no mosquito nets over the beds and I assume that they were getting in through the thatched roof as we weren't able to track them down and get rid of them. My little one got 50 bites over a couple of nights and I had a couple of dozen - even using DEET and trying to cover up at night. I could barely sleep with them buzzing in my ear and ended up wearing full length clothes all night to avoid getting savaged every night! Annoying not to have nets which would have immediately solved the problem and are standard in many other hotels we have traveled to around Africa. Some more positive things were the availability of taxis outside the hotel, who the hotel were able to call for you if you wanted. We went on a tour to the nearby Bandia Reserve which was pretty decent and the (quite grumpy) hotel events guy was able to arrange this easily. The staff were nice to the kids, although a bit rude and non-responsive to us which didn't make us feel particularly welcomed. Also for fellow Brits or other non-French speakers, the staff didn't speak much if any English (to be expected and we speak reasonable French so were able to get by). There was a bit of gentle harassment from sellers
Baobab Soleil

Baobab Soleil

Baobab Soleil was a very pleasant hotel to stay. These were the things I liked about the hotel: It was very close to the wildlife park, Foret de Bandia and the hotel shuttle could provide a ride to and fro for a fee. The hotel was also close to the airport, but since I was not flying in or out, it did not apply to me. There weren't too many staff members, only about three. They worked hard to provide services and were very friendly. The rooms were spacious, clean and had basic amenities. There was a large pool, which was open 24/7. Food was good although the menu was limited. There were alcoholic drinks to purchase. There was Internet access at the restaurant area. The surrounding area had many baobab trees making the name Baobab Soleil very fitting. One could take walks around the area with no safety concerns. Suggestions: If possible, have an Internet router so that people who like to do some work or read online could read in their rooms or patio instead of going to the restaurant, which is often loud with people talking and also has a lot of flies. Also the weaver birds on the large tree close-by make quite a racket that can be tiring after a while. I was there 3 nights and wished to do some work in my room, but could not do that and was a bit disappointed. All in all, it was a good 3-night stay at the hotel.
Hotel Africa Queen

Hotel Africa Queen

4/558 Reviews
We stayed at the Africa Queen for two nights while visiting Somone. We had a great experience. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful (especially Papy at the pool bar), and the surrounding village and lagoon were interesting and fun to explore. There's a solid Dibi place on the corner just down the street. They had some English speaking staff which was an added bonus. We heard that the hotel had somewhat recently been renovated so that might account for some of the less the stellar older review / pictures.
Mövenpick Resort Lamantin Saly

Mövenpick Resort Lamantin Saly

4.1/568 Reviews
This is a beautiful resort, up to international standards. ”Rooms” are scattered around the property in various ”cottages.” Decent bathrooms, nice beds and linens, lovely outdoor patio with table and chairs. Good a/c. The grounds here are beautiful, with a gorgeous pool. Plenty of lounge chairs. Towels provided at the pool. Outdoor dining area for extensive breakfast and dinner buffets. Food was really good, but not spectacular. Plenty of options to pick and choose from. Easy access to the beach area, where you can walk for long distances and feel very safe. Overall, very pleased with this property -- it's just located a long way from anything. But, this is a DESTINATION beach vacation for West Africans, so they come to stay and play.
