Le Calao Du Lac Rose

THE BEST SPOT IN SENEGAL

Reviewed By russellchr

I have stayed at Calao five times and I am adicted to the beautiful gardens, the restaurant and the wonderful international character. Just a short walk to the Lac du Rose in which u can float rather than swim - the salt lake is supposed to detox your skin/ Pierre and his charming wife manage the place superbly. Nice swimming pool and a great place to relax away from noisy Dakar or from a drive across the Desert.

So now we have grown into a little family together and the welfare of our guests is very important to us. If desired, we can help to organize inland trips. We cooperate with reliable drivers / guides. These are available to our guests along with their cars. In Dakar itself offer trips into the city center. There are colorful markets, many small shopping streets, the harbor district, magnificent mosques, interesting museums, the old train station in the colonial style and generally admire the hustle and bustle of an African metropolis.

Incredible hospitality

Reviewed By David K

We stayed at the Auberge Keur Diame again end of November 2018. Ruth (the owner) is amazingly friendly and hospitable. Her place is an oasis of tranquility and honesty. My car had to be repaired and Ruth went out of her way to assist me with repairs.

Kind helpful staff, great location near port

Reviewed By Susie S

This is a no frills, tidy, comfortable hotel that's an easy walk to the port, shops, cafes, restaurants and market. The restaurant serves good Senegalese food in a leafy courtyard and the desk staff are friendly and willing to help with a range of requests. The cleaning staff were especially gracious. It's a good location to get to know the Plateau area of Dakar and a cheap taxi ride to a meal by the beach.

Hotel does not value Customer

Reviewed By Freedom828298

I had been regular Business Traveler to Dakar - Senegal. One of the Hotel i used to stay regularly and do meetings was at Hotel Cafe du Rome. Stay experience was never value for money but i was preferring as it was near to my work meetings and was not sure about other nearby hotels. Been regular customer does not help as they dont value it as hotel feels they are always in demand so they take customer for granted. They have increased room rates which is not worth. also if you try to extend your stay by hour or two, reception will charge you for day. Today they lost regular customer.

Gite du Lac

The holiday cottage welcomes you all year long. On a sand dune, in the shade of coconut palms, birds and ocean to rock you, you can then feel the soul of this magic place. Colors contrasted of the sky azure, of the pink lake, the vegetation and the sand dunes. Where gardens grow in dunes. We tried to protect the nature which welcomed us, so friendly towards us that one of our concerns was to integrate. Many activities such as: horse riding or mountain biking, walking in the dunes and through the kitchen gardens...

Best hotel at Lac Rose!

Reviewed By zeltiamc

Best hotel at the Lake Rose! Vero, the manager, was supernice, we had very good conexion with her!  Since the very beginning we feel like at home. Our room was very well decorated, full of details. It has one king size bedroom superconfortable,  the toilet was very clean and spacious with everything we need.  The terrace has an spectacular view to lake Rose!  Jona and Pap, rescued us, because our car got out off battery in the middle of nowhere, they were taking care of us in every moment. On the restaurant Momudou prepared delicious food, an special salad with cucumber,  cocoa and carrot; Senegalese chicken with potatoes .  We're so pleased for all U've done for us. Breakfast was a la carta, with all kind of fruits, delicious coffee and chocolat chaud, toasts, boulangerie... simply perfect! Plenty of energy for starting our tour to Bandia Reserve The decoration of the hotel is very etnic, I cannot stop taking pictures of every corner. All the staff was superfriendly. It was a short stay but intense! We have to come back, for sure! Definitely Le Gite du Lac  is a Paradise on Senegal!

Unsuitable for Europeans

Reviewed By Michaelk02

The room is spacious and clean. Breakfast is adequate and served on a terrace. The staff are friendly and there is ample hot water. The flat screen TV has a good reception. There is a good quality mosquito net fitted to the bed. That's where the good points end. This is neither a hotel nor are they apartments, the rooms do not have a kitchen or even a fridge. The "restaurant" serves breakfast only so that makes it a B&B. I think dinner can be arranged but I don't want to eat alone! The shower is hot but is not fitted to the wall and the shower head is badly blocked so expect to run around for a wash! Hopefully it will be replaced today. Internet is extremely intermittent and poor. Data roaming offers only a small improvement but at least guaranteed access. Forget Skype whilst here, bandwidth is insufficient. You cannot walk to restaurants, downtown or reasonably equipped food stores. This is off the beaten track. I walked for five miles and could only find unsafe street food and tiny corner shops. This is a very Muslim part of town which I respect. However, this also means no bars or even a place to buy a beer. Access is unlit and down two unmade alleys. It's hidden and tricky to find unless you have good local knowledge. The building provides a terrace which is pleasant in the mornings. However, power is not available at night so you are confined to your room. In a nutshell, it is a comfortable place to sleep and have a nice breakfast. Nothing else! The place is totally unsuitable for a business traveller, a car is essential and if you need to communicate with the outside world , don't come here! I didn't book it, my host did!

Pleasent stay that changed our trip for the better! Relaxing, friendly & good food!

Reviewed By LifeisBeautiful24

We found Atlantis Evasion after a two bad experiences in a row at other hotels in Plateau. We were pleasantly surprised to find the owner and staff were friendly, the rooms were clean and the food was delicious. The rooms themselves are quite basic (although lovely decor for the beds in particular) but compared to many other hotels in Dakar this was a diamond in the rough! We had stayed in two other hotels already and visited 4 other hotels to view the rooms on the sea front before booking taht evening and this was the best. Madrouge hotel (next door) - staff are rude, unhelpful and overpriced - I'd recommend Atlantis Evasion a thousand time over them. Good location, you can see NGor island and get a boat taxi there in the day. 15min drive to the shopping centre Plateau by taxi is 6000 CFA (taxis will try to charge you more - but stand your ground and haggle!)

Good value, good location.

Reviewed By Bezo2013

Spacious rooms, good service, good food, nice rooftop terrace. On the down side, drinks and food are significantly overpriced. The rooftop terrace, with a pretty view of the sea should be full of clients but it is always empty and that is because of the price of drinks (Coke 2000fcfa, Heineken 2500fcfa). In a like manner, the food is quite good but the dining room is nearly empty for the same reason as above. The hotel management should draw some lessons...
