Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Multiple guests report poor cleanliness in some rooms (reports of dirty rooms, bad smells, insufficient hygiene), though other guests mention clean common areas and well-kept pools; overall cleanliness is below average.
Service
8.5
Staff repeatedly praised as friendly, helpful and attentive across many reviews (early check-in/late check-out noted); a few isolated negative reports at breakfast/reception, but overall service is a strong point.
Location
8.5
Location consistently praised (close to beach, many restaurants nearby); some guests report noise from nearby late-night entertainment which reduces the rating slightly.
Room Quality
6
Mixed comments: some comfortable beds and large rooms reported, but several guests note rooms are dated, in need of refresh or lacking basics (e.g., fridge, soap), and a few reported very poor room conditions.
Amenities
6.5
Pool and exterior areas receive positive mentions; air conditioning noted positively. Wi‑Fi is reported as patchy and some rooms lack conveniences (fridge, working TV), so amenities are adequate but inconsistent.
Value for Money
7.5
Many guests mention good prices and reasonable restaurant pricing; considered good value by several visitors despite some shortcomings in rooms and breakfast.
Food and Beverage
6
Food opinions are mixed: some find restaurant meals satisfying, others criticise breakfast as poor/limited and occasional low variety; overall slightly below average.
Overall Experience
7.5
Overall impression is mixed but positive on balance due to excellent staff and location; noise, cleanliness and breakfast issues lower the experience for some guests.

L'emplacement était super, proche de toutes commodités, on faisait tous nos courses à pieds.
Le personnel est sympa et ouvert ( Abubacr, Ousmane, les deux filles de la réception).sans oublié mes amis vigiles( Coulibaly et Bouley) avec qui je partageais le ataya (thé). Mon séjour était exceptionnel, on a bien apprécié l'hôtel ma femme et moi.
On reviendra très bientôt

Pros:

Mir hat es wunderbar gefallen, weil vor allem das Personal sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend ist.
Auch größere Gruppen können dort gut unterkommen. Der Weg zum Strand ist nicht weit. 200m.

Cons:

Naja, mir hat das Frühstück gereicht, aber ich denke es dürfte etwas umfangreicher sein. Aber bei dem günstigen Preis ist wahrscheinlich nicht mehr möglich
