Free activities ! Situated in edge of lagoon, in the heart of a luxuriant vegetation, Ecolodge de Simal was completely renewed and reconstructed to bring to the charm and to the authenticity which characterizes it, more comfort and quality. So its straw traditional architecture, perfectly adapted to the local microclimate, was protected. Compartments are henceforth sharply enlarged and have shower and w-c privative corresponding in the new requirements and infringe travelers. A particular attention is concerned the activities. Quite free, they are more numerous to take advantage completely of your stay and combine relaxation and sports leisure activities. Numerous excursions are proposed for the discovery and the meeting of the villagers of the Saloum, the region classified in the world patrimony of Unesco. The restaurant outdoors in the shade of the cheese makers or under stars according to the hour, proposes a kitchen rich and varied on base of fresh products.
It’s a great weekend getaway with attentive service, peaceful surroundings and friendly villagers. The price was affordable with full board The huts were made of straw, simple yet cosy. Pool was clean and inviting, it was nice to have a refreshing dip after cycling with fat bicycles around the village, kayaking in the lagoon or just chilling by the pool with a book. Meals by the lagoon offered fine views of the lagoon, watching fishermen and kids in the waters, washing the horses, donkeys or simply playing in the waters. It was also calming Food was served on time and with generous portions. We had salad, beef with grilled vegetables and fries, coconut Cake for dinner. Lunch consisted of fried prawns, grilled fish with vegetables and rice. Points to note the network is not good which is fine if you don’t intend to be watching movies there via the net. I will definitely go back again. It’s a pity that Covid had a big impact to this lovely lodge as we were the only ones staying over weekend. Hopefully they will tide through and have more visitors.

We visited as a family for the Thursday Senegalese night . Food poor . Entertainment enthusiastic , loud drumming mainly . Energetic dancers . Could not wait to leave for some quiet . I do applaud their enthusiasm however.

Family environment and a friendly staff will welcome you in this natural place and respectful of the local tradition. In a well-integrated space with the surrounding nature, you will immerse yourself in the calm and the magic of the Fromager Lodge. Ventilated rooms, with private toilet and a unique wonderful decoration: traditional construction techniques and local materials have been used in the creation of our hotel. Just 5 minutes drive from the city of Cap Skirring, the Fromager Lodge offers a spacious restoration services based on local and Italian dishes, swimming pool, bar, free WI-FI. The main beach called "Bar de la mère" is easily reached on foot in 10-15 minutes.
Kind staff, beautiful location, amazing food and drinks. We couldn’t recommend this place more. We spent three nights in the amazing bungalows of the Fromager and had the best time. This place is definitely worth going!

I have been to this hotel every single time I have been to Senegal in Abene, ie. already for the sixth time. It's a great place with a simple but really nice hotel. It is located outside the village Abene, about 50 meters from the sea and has an incredibly beautiful view towards it but also in the other direction towards the forest. The restaurant is located on a terrace that is nicely furnished, a comfortable place to sit, eat and enjoy. It si free wifi there too, but not at the room. The hotel has two other buildings where there are rooms, a little further away from the restaurant, such typical Senegalese round houses with 6 rooms in one and maybe 4 rooms in the other. The rooms are not large, but comfortable and each has a private bathroom. Staff are friendly and incredibly helpful. I usually go travel with my friend who is disabled and staff always help me with him. The food is delicious, there is nothing to complain about. It's just that most of it is fish of course, and shrimp too. You can also do boat trips to nearby lagoons or bird watching etc. With that helps the owner Patrick, a very nice man, who is a good fisherman who teaches you to fish in case you are inexperienced. As well as taking you to the best places where you can see lots of different birds, sometimes even the occasional monkey. Patrick really could not find a nicer and better place for his hotel like this one. I highly recommend staying here not just one night but several days so you can really enjoy yourself.

This is one of the best hotels in Joal, unfortunately that's because there's no choice. The staff are friendly enough, but the rooms aren't up to the usual standards. Again the staff are very honest and extremely trustworthy. However nobody is keen to remove the stray dogs, ask to eat on the rooftop terrace and make sure you get a good mosquito net.

They scammed us, so please watch out and book anywhere else! We paid the guy who showed us the room and than another guy came to us and said we didn't pay yet. The first guy was gone and and the second guy forced us to pay again or leave. He did see that the first guy showed us the room and let us pay, but he didn't say anything. So they definitely worked together to scam tourists. Really insecure place. No security door like any other place. Please stay away!

nel corso di una vacanza in Senegal- dove peraltro ho vissuto per 3 anni - ho scoperto questo simpatico alberghetto in una zona non troppo centrale ma comoda da raggiungere e sicuramente più tranquilla del Plateau. L'ultima volta ci sono stato nel 2014 anche se ho dovuto indicare come data della permanenza il 2017, comunque da allora altri amici mi hanno detto che è addirittura migliorato. L'hotel non è enorme ma è molto simpatico e pulito ed il proprietario il sig, Thierry è una persona disponibile e sempre pronta per un buon consiglio su cosa fare e vedere a Dakar e vicinanze. Le camere sono ben arredate ed accoglienti ed anche il ristorante , su una bella terrazza, è assolutamente semplice ma impeccabile. E' consigliato per una vacanzetta tranquilla e rilassante.

Une très grande chambre avec balcon, avec vue sur une rue calme, la piscine, petite mais très propre. Le personnel est très agréable, serviable et toujours disponible. Devant partir à l'aéroport le soir seulement, nous avons pu laisser nos bagages à l'hôtel. Petit déjeuner très correct. Seul désagrément, la salle de bain qui mériterait un rafraîchissement, et des petits travaux pour réparer l'arrivée d'eau des toilettes qui fuyait.
