Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and beautiful rooms, though they could benefit from some renovation. The service was attentive and welcoming, striving to meet all our needs. The location is convenient, near the beach and amenities. The dining experience was a mix of great variety but poorly managed buffet. The facilities are satisfactory overall.
The hotel offers perfect rooms with a separate kids bedroom that have sea views and balconies. The service was fantastic, welcoming, and attentive, although the insistence on upfront payment was a bit unusual. The location in Grand Baye is serene and provides ample spaces to relax. The dining experience, however, was below expectations and needs significant improvement.
