    I didn’t like when I was trying to relax and several people kept coming up to me to let me know about tourist attractions or when the children come up and try and play a song for money. It’s kind of stressful when you just want to take it easy and not worry about anything .

    I like the environment it was relaxing and nice and the food was very good.

    1. The wifi wasn’t good. I advice you get a sim or roam 2. They do not have standard plugs, so I also advice you bring an adaptor 3. The property doesn’t have electricity till 5pm and unless you’re out and about, that maybe not be ideal 4. They don’t accept transfers or card, so make sure you bring cash

    The stay at Auberge de grand popo was nothing short of an amazing experience. The property is Serene and literally a beautiful escape. The staff was very accommodating. We needed a cake and in less than 24 hours they were able to bake one. On our last night, they go drummers and dancers to entertain us which is a plus.

    A nice and simple place to stay overnight. food was good and staff is super friendly. We stayed in a simple room, but it was good. Only alot of mosquitos in the night.

    Room smelled mouldy, the moisture from the ocean breeze covered all surfaces with a slight moisture; Water only worked intermittently, but large bucket was provided; Didn’t offer card payment, so had to travel 15km to the next town (Comé) to draw Cash.

    Great restaurant with superb food and super friendly staff, exceptional Negroni; Pool was right next door with view onto the beach; They had great seating options right under shading mini huts right on the beach, 10m from the ocean

    There’s not much to do in the area apart from just chill and relax, if you are looking for some more action or entertainment.

    It was better than I expected having read all the negative reviews, although I was lucky to be upgraded (by chance) to a chalet. There was warm water and decent pressure all the time, AC worked correctly. True, the property is somewhat tired but that gives it certain charm and you are right on the beach. The food at the restaurant was good, especially the grilled prawns.

    Unfortunately there were too many little things, that in the end didn't justify the price in my opinion. My sheets smelled clean, but they had stains on them. The matress was rock hard. The bathroom was tiny - barely space to stand for a shower. The toilet seat could need urgent replacement and the shower head wouldn't hold on the wall. Also the AC has draining pipe into the bathroom that drips on the floor while AC is on. There's no breakfast included, so I ordered fruit salad, which seemed to be from the previous day, as the fruit pieces (included cocktail cherries from some strange reason) arrived slimey. Coffee was good though. On arrival I asked to pay in dollars, which was no problem, but on departure they overcharged me by 25% in exchange rate. Which is ridiculous, but since I didn't have enough xof I had no other choice. (staff was friendly throughout arguments) Make sure to bring enough local currency - there are no atms in grand popo. Also I had to insist on the genius discount from booking.com.

    I'm bit torn about this place. It's definitely a peaceful spot with a luxurious touch to it. Right at the beach and lots of Palm trees around. Staff was very Friendly and helpful. Got my laundry done within half a day (11 items for 3,500xof is bit pricey, but it came all back fresh).

    Our check in was not the smoothest. Some of the staff members are rather indifferent. Rooms are ageing .Bathroom was tiny and shower had minimal water pressure. No wifi in the room,had to walk near the main building and reception area to get a proper signal.

    Top location!Sitting under the coconut trees with a cold beninoise ,catching the sea breezes and watching the fishermen pulling their nets gives you moments of pure bliss. The small salt water pool is a big bonus on a hot day. Food served on the openair verandah was delicious,though portions were average and rather pricey.

    This is a relaxing colonial style beach resort. It's simple, might have seen better days but to me that added to the charm. The price also reflects that not everything will be perfect. Some imperfections of the rooms are made up by the wonderful staff, great food, flawless beach and old timey feel.

    1. My booking was completed in Naira, and I expected that, at the most, payment would be made in CFA at the current exchange rate. At the reception, though, my bill was in Euros (converted to CFA), which spiked my budget, quite a bit. 2. THE WIFI! Just don't book any of the rooms by the garden if you are someone who loves to be connected to the world wide web. 3. Apparently, the breakfast isn't complimentary as they claim everywhere you try to place a booking.

    I generally enjoyed my stay at Auberge; the service was great, and the environment and locals were awesome
