    The restaurant Manager was a bit cold and didn't greet us the first couple of days. We complaint about her behaviour to the local staff that apologies on her behalf The following days she was finally greeting us. The food at the restaurant was good for European standards. I wish they would propose in their menu a couple of local dishes to be more authentic.

    The location is very good, by the beach and close to banks, shops and market. It was very easy to find a boat to go to Ngor Island. The local staff is adorable and so helpful if you need to book a taxi or find shops around. They are super friendly, caring and welcoming.

    our room was on the edge of the property and was very loud - there was lots of foot traffic to and from the beach all day and night. and the room didn’t lock from the inside.

    great staff, very friendly, nice location - can walk to a few food spots and stores, beach access is great and the pool is lovely!

    I wouldn't say I didn't like it, but it would be nice to have a wider choice for breakfast. The country has everything needed for it.

    The pool, the staff, the bar, the location, the helpfulness of everyone there.

    None of the staff at reception were friendly and everyday was given a very half hearted greeting and a scowl.

    The location is great, right on the beach with a view of Ngor Island and it was very pleasant. The restaurant was good, food was tasty and well prepared. The pool and pool area is nice and the bar and wait staff were friendly and helpful. The room was pleasant and had all the basics you need. The bed was comfortable and the airconditioning worked. The cleaning lady was very nice and left bug spray for me to combat the mosquitoes. The windows all had flyscreens on them which was good. Well stocked mini bar was appreciated.

    October is hottest month and the AC wasn’t cold enough at all. A fan would have been preferable but not available. Almost bought one.

    Location great. I was on the street side but couldn’t hear any noise as someone else had complained of. Often taxis nearby. Views of the bay and Ngor island. Great meals on the property but also enjoyed restaurants nearby.

    My only disappointment was that the room could have better furniture and needs an upgrade, like the lobby area which has beautiful decor. Second thing is the price per night could have included breakfast.

    The location of this property is perfect, we enjoyed waking up to the sound of the waves. The breakfast was very tasty, having direct access to the beach was also awesome. the staff was amazing. Nice place to stay, would stay again.

    The beach was too crowded with local's tents and vendors. They hounded you to buy things constantly. Beach was not a good experience. It was loud at night because the locals parties all thru the night until morning. The restaurant was expensive and the food wasn't very good. staff told me the beach isn't safe at night. Don't expect a relaxing beach vacation. My room wasn't cleaned every day. I had to go to the desk for toilet paper and towels. I was speaking to the Desk man, and a white family came in, and he immediately went to help them and told me to wait, even though he was in the middle of helping me. It was insulating. I was a hotel guest and made to feel second class and unimportant. On a separate day, I had to take the trash out of my room because it hadn't been cleaned. The girl at the desk told me to take it outside to the garbage. I really thought they would have taken it out, considering my room should have been cleaned. I tried to check out 2 days early. I was made to stay another day.

    The hotel is beautiful. The views from the balcony were exceptional. The sunsets are amazing. The room was nice and big. The boat to the island is a short distance down the beach. Most of the staff were amazing and kind. Especially Amy in the restaurant.

    Some staff were helpful, but some were very unhelpful (approaching surly).

    Excellent location directly on Ngor beach, simultaneously tranquil but in the heart of the action. Big room, well-decorated, and large pool. Good food at the restaurant. Overall, a very option to stay in Dakar.

    I didn't enjoy the food. It tasted very basic and un-inviting.

    My stay here was short. The hotel is located in a small area in Ngor. I loved that it faced the beach so I could take walks by the water. The locals were accommodating and the area is safe. You can take walks around the streets if you desire. There's a gym outside of the property if you're looking to workout.
