Overall experience was good.
Reviewed By T4745XHcynthiamThe meals were delicious and good variety. The pastries especially cakes could use some training for the pastry chefs. the cakes i tried were dry and too sweet. Consider having a package for dinner that is inclusive of beverages and atleast water. The hotel facilities are spacious with lots of activities for both adults and children to enjoy. we enjoyed the steam bath and whirl pool. The pool is clean and spacious. The plage is beautiful and well furnished for relaxation and comfort. The staff were helpful and kind however we noticed many of them were new and did not quite know the services well. The rooms are fresh, spacious, i enjoyed having an extra baby bed which is not common in other hotels around Saly. i would like to see white towels in the bathroom. The couch fabric in the rooms was filthy, the choice of color i believe is strategic. bright colors inspire client confident on cleanliness. i recommend having a small coffee machine in the room. Have some drinks in the fridge and charge client if they consume. 1 bottle of water is not enough for a room with 2 adults. Total disregard to client privacy, we had a technician come in to fix our toilet immediately after we got into the room after waiting for one hour to be allocates a room. There is need for training of staff, some of them were trainees and had no proper information every time we made enquiries they would go and consult. The booking management system needs to be integrated with other services to avoid unnecessary delays during check in and access to services. We had unpleasant booking hiccups despite having booked online and provided all information. There is need for proper communication to the client once visa cvs data is captured the booking not only valid but should be fully executed upon arrival to avoid unnecessary delays. we had to wait for one hour at the reception for verification and i believe the rooms were not ready by 16h00. a little streamlining here can help with better client experience. Generally we had a pleasant stay and we did enjoy ourselves. We look forward to returning again in the near future.

Lush tropical grounds and incredible views
Reviewed By passionwithpurposeI was staying at this hotel through an organization who I was partnering with to build a school in the area. I knew almost nothing about the hotel and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. It is a lush tropical paradise right on the water. The grounds were covered with flowers and palm trees. There were lizards, birds and butterflies everywhere and it is right in the center of town. The people at the front desk were very warm and friendly (though they mainly speak French). They also have a bar and serve a decent buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner daily at the hotel. On Saturday night they have live music. The rooms were a decent size, though the beds and pillows were a little hard. The bathroom hot water also can get boiling to the touch so you have to be very careful with that. Overall, it was an unexpectedly great experience, aside from the beds and the overly hot water. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area. There is also a great little reserve with zebras, ostriches, rhinos and other animals less than an hour away.

Hotel Club Royal Saly is located at the heart of Saly Portudal near all commodities. A huge place of 16 African bungalows containing two types of rooms fit for family et individual stays, a big garden full of coconut trees and baobabs. It has a big swimming pool near the beach with sun beds, a big restaurant, a bar and three conference rooms. Kids have their playground, their mini club and their swimming pool in it. It's a nice place for rest and entertainment.
Great setting, average hotel
Reviewed By theonenatheWe stayed at the hotel for 9 nights with our two young children and some friends who also had their kids with them. We found it a real mix - the setting was really beautiful - gorgeous beach, lovely pool and nice looking huts to stay in, but there were lots of annoying problems throughout the holiday. Firstly, the food looked pretty decent - but it tasted fairly average unfortunately. As the hotel is all inclusive, this left us feeling like we were a bit stuck for dinner (although we ended up going to another hotel to eat a couple of times for a bit of variation). The puddings in particular weren't great - they looked awesome, but often just didn't taste of very much. Secondly, dinner is from 8-10pm. Maybe this is fine for many guests from the Mediterranean, but it was really late for our kids (who are normally in bed by 8) and there was no flexibility offered and no way of ordering dinner early from the restaurant or something. That left us with ratty kids getting tired and staying up late, or going to bed hungry. Another annoyance was the very loud music being pumped out by the pool. The clientele when we were there were hardly 18-30 party animals - almost everyone either had kids or were in the older age bracket, so it didn't seem to fit and ruined the general feeling of peace on the beach and down by the sea. The loud music continued into the night with raucous drum performances every few nights and loud music and singing on others. That started at 10pm and went on for a couple of hours most nights, keeping us and the kids up even later. For families I would recommend asking to stay further away from the restaurant so this would be less of an issue. Also, although there weren't many mosquitoes visibly around, even in the evenings, we got bitten to death at night. There were no mosquito nets over the beds and I assume that they were getting in through the thatched roof as we weren't able to track them down and get rid of them. My little one got 50 bites over a couple of nights and I had a couple of dozen - even using DEET and trying to cover up at night. I could barely sleep with them buzzing in my ear and ended up wearing full length clothes all night to avoid getting savaged every night! Annoying not to have nets which would have immediately solved the problem and are standard in many other hotels we have traveled to around Africa. Some more positive things were the availability of taxis outside the hotel, who the hotel were able to call for you if you wanted. We went on a tour to the nearby Bandia Reserve which was pretty decent and the (quite grumpy) hotel events guy was able to arrange this easily. The staff were nice to the kids, although a bit rude and non-responsive to us which didn't make us feel particularly welcomed. Also for fellow Brits or other non-French speakers, the staff didn't speak much if any English (to be expected and we speak reasonable French so were able to get by). There was a bit of gentle harassment from sellers on the beach, but we've had worse and there were some nice bits and pieces to buy as souvenirs. Overall, probably not a place or hotel we would return to unfortunately.
4. Ecolodge de Lompoul
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 168 reviews
Real oasis, Ecolodge de Lompoul is the only one situated in the heart of the desert and bottom so perfectly in this magnificent and incredible landscape of dunes. The new tents, specially conceived to bring a maximum of comfort and space, are in total equivalence with the beauty of the site. They are distributed in three villages to keep the peace of mind of places. In adjoining, the second tent acts as shower and w-c privative, so allowing to protect the intimacy. It is so about 45 m2 that are put has arrangement to make you feel the magic of the desert in any comfort. The pleasure of evasion can come along with a stroll in dromedary in the dunes of sand or an evening around a fire, even an evening given rhythm in the sound of djembes. The dinners served in several tents for more intimacy, are on base of couscous, earthenware cooking pots or grills. Possibility of organizing lunches-grills on the beach on base of fishes and shellfishes.
Lovely set up and amazing staff
Reviewed By beachbummer75this is a lodge/tent set up in the middle of the sand dunes so travellers do have to adjust the expectations vs normal hotels in built up cities In my one night stay the set up was adequate to cater for guest travel needs despite the challenging conditions The tent was spacious, clean with lights mirror, toilet, bathroom and dressing area There was no hot water but they use solar panels and it’s middle of the sand dunes so I can live with cold water for a night There were plenty of activities to keep us busy - sand board , ATV with 2 safety guides, walking around the sand dunes or just chilling on the lounge area. I liked the fact the atv guides stopped to talk to local villages along the way and helped to pass items from one place to another and saying hi - we didn’t want to seeM as if we were just a bunch of tourists zooming by with noisy machines They also took us on a short tour to see how they grew their crops in this Arid landscape In the evenings there was a really nice entertaining band and fire performance before dinner Dinner was fast and efficient - crabs and warm vegetable soup for starters , chicken and rice for main course and orange chocolate cake. You can choose to eat indoors or outdoors Stars at night were amazing How much joy from simplicity All the staff were accommodating, attentive and check on us regularly I didn’t speak much French but they took the effort to make sure I was ok even with the language barrier Everyone was cheerful and smiley and I do recommend as a nice weekend getaway Just don’t expect tv, bathrobe, bathtub and coffee machine

Nice option but could do with some work, lovely pool/beach access!
Reviewed By rae_wulWe stayed at this hotel for two nights spread out and found that it had some nice options but also a few issues. What we liked is that it is on the beach with chairs and it has a really lovely pool. The food we thought was good and they have really great desserts. The price seems reasonable and it's located close to the market for walking options. What we didn't like is that it is very noisy since one night the band played until after midnight and you can hear it loudly. There were also some small bugs on the sheets and pillow cases that we were not sure about and a lot of things appear to be broken or not fixed in different rooms - from a lock to air conditioner, etc. It seems as if they need to take more care to fix up the rooms and keep them in good repair. They do handle issues if you have one.
6. Tama Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 132 reviews
In the heart on Senegal’s “Petite Cote” (the Small Coast), between Mbour’s fishing port and the seaside resort of Saly, the Tama Lodge preserves authenticity. The cabins are made of local materials, built on the sand of one of most beautiful beaches in the country, in a nest of greenery. In every one of the nine rooms, inspired from colours of Africa, with simplicity and elegance, you will find pieces of traditional handcraft : Kuba fabric from Congo, bed covers made of Mali’s bogolan, Touareg tent stakes, mortars and pestles… The whole lodge is full of charms of Africa, and offers, in its original setting, an exotic, mild and relaxing break.
Typically african style
Reviewed By newyorkerwomanI ve been here before the covid thing. Rooms directly on the beach. You will have breakfast with your feet in the sand among beautiful palm trees. Rooms are typically furnished in african style with wood and ropes and all in natural material.

A very pleasent stay
Reviewed By anncathrines2018While spending two weeks at a drumming workshop in Saint Louis we had missed out that we needed to have a covidtest before transiting in Brussels on our way home. We had to change our fligt to the following evening and find out were we could get a covidtest on a Sathurday. With the help of very helpful staff at Brussel airlines and other staff at the airport we ended up booking rooms att Baobad Soleil in Sindia that sent a very nice small bus to pick us up at the airport. Arriving at the hotel very late we were greeted by friendly Ami who presented us with beautiful rooms and served us a good meal in the middle of the night. The following morning we had a very nice breakfast and after that the hotel arranged our transport to the clinic in Mbour so that we could do the test. The transport waited for us and took us back to the hotel where we enjoyed spending the day in the sun by the pool. We had a good late lunch before heading back to the airport. Our stay at Baoubab Soleil was a very positive experience and we hope to come back and stay there again if we are in need of accomodation close to the airport outside Dakar in the future.
8. Auberge Keurmariguen

The longest hottest night of our lives
Reviewed By victoriahS874LFThe property is much over-rated and pricey for what it offers. The bungalows are small but clean: there is no air conditioning, the fan hardly makes a difference and the one night we spent there was infernal and we left very tired and grumpy in the end. There is no real beach either - the hotel is next to a port. Breakfast is really tiny. In overall felt like the owners wanted money without investing in the property and services. We do not recommend it.

calm and dreamview over the ocean
Reviewed By PisanelloA nice, clean and simple hotel, very helpful and friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere. A fine - not extraordinary- dinner for 10 €, served on the teras with view over the ocean. The hotel is directly on the beach - unfortunately the beach is terribly dirty and nobody could swim in the ocean. The small pool is a little compensation for refreshing. Whe you need some days for reading, thinking this is you place. The rooms are simple and not for staying in daytime - there you should look for a place under the trees. Mbour is Africa: wonderful people, chaotic traffic, excellent street food and no Aldi or Lidl - which we found wonderful
