The place gives you that bold African feel and makes you proud to be African
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and chatty. The aesthetic was quite artistic and rare especially the reception. The sockets outside the rooms were very convenient.

Bon !
Pros:

Petite pépite cachée !
Literie au top, piscine très bien entretenue et service impeccable.
Le personnel est serviable, gentil et très réactif.
Le restaurant est bon et les boissons ne sont pas chères.
Une très belle découverte !

Cons:

L’emplacement : il n’y a pas grand-chose autour, il faut prendre un taxi pour trouver un peu d’animation. La plage n’est pas exceptionnelle, notamment à cause de la marée.
Parmi l’équipe (globalement adorable), une serveuse s’est montrée un peu trop insistante sur la consommation et se prenait pour une cheffe, ce qui a été moins agréable. Nous avons également eu un souci à l’arrivée : lorsque vous payez en espèces, pensez à toujours à demander un reçu.
Cependant, l’hôtel a été réactif et le montant a été déduit de la facture totale à la fin du séjour
