Very nice and helpfull staff, clean and big room and lovely breakfast with many choices. Nice accommodation with playground for children. Only unfortunately no animation available in the low season.
The staff are second to none, all were very friendly and helpful. the room with a sea view was perfect. breakfast was always of a high slandered.
However the only aspect that let them down, was the rooms were not free of mosquitos, they should spray the room once the daily cleaning is completed.
I want to start by saying that I would actually stay here again. I’m rating it by Western standards. The pluses are the following: the staff is friendly, it’s a safe place, it is pretty clean, and the food at the restaurant is decent and safe to eat.
Now for the negatives: My safe didn’t work, (I locked up my valuables in my suitcase during the day), the room took a while to become cool, the patio door would not lock and had black duct tape on it, I had a cold shower a couple of days because of no hot water, but there was only hot water in the sink one day. There’s a hook for a mosquito net, but no mosquito net available. Bottled water was provided the first day, but for the other six days, I was told I had to buy it at the bar. The reception area is not air-conditioned, and I tried to drink a beer at that bar one day with sweat dripping down my back. There’s always something to eat for breakfast, but it is the same thing every day. A little variety would have been nice. I was looking forward to relaxing at the pool, but it was under construction the week I was there. I was also looking forward to using the spa, but it seemed closed every day. A few times an A few times a day, the power would go off, but it did not stay off for long because of a generator. All of this is to say, I realize that it is West Africa, and the western standards are different. But I have to say, catering to some westerners, this was my experience.

Really clean room and friendly staff. The style isn't necessarily 5* but the service is. Would recommend
An unpleasant experience. A staff that sees you as a dollar sign and nothing else. Credit cards machines that don't work and if they do, you have to pay a 3.5% fee. Rooms that are rundown. Towels handed out very strictly - one only per day. You pay on the high end but get treated on the low end. Just very unpleasant. A big regret of mine. I should have not stayed here.

I travelled on business. This is a comfortable and convenient small resort. The food is OK, and there are local alternatives nearby. The wifi is fairly reliable, the staff are friendly and the breakfast is pretty good. It's a bit tired but everything works and the beds are comfortable.

Kamers waren verzorgd. Ontbijtbuffet viel tegen omwille van beperkte keuze voor een 5*
Poor service, dirty room, flies and mosquitos in room thatvhadnt been cleaned in days. Still had hair from previous customers days ago. Complained 4 times and didn't get cleaned. Ended up leaving hotel the next day and booked into another hotel. Breakfast ok, area not great- harassed as soon as we left the hotel. Was very happy to leave!
