Clean rooms right on a splendid beach. A/c and mosquito nets included. Many stores and services available on Hospital street just a few steps away. Safe neighborhood. Comfortable and free beach chairs provided by the hotel. Good breakfast, don't miss out on the delicious bissap juice, but could be served earlier say 6h30 instead of 7h30am for those going to Dakar or Bandia.

Rating is adjusted for price which was very low. AC worked. Mosquito nets over bed were good. Screens had holes and windows didn’t quite close entirely, so definitely had mosquitos as close friends. Great service.

Nice little hotel when you look for a simple vacation without much comfort. Located directly at the beach, you can hear the sea from your room and go for a swim within 80 meters. Great scenery with the beach, palms, sea etc, definitely worthwhile a visit, especially during sunset! Room very small, not much space for unpacking your stuff or to move. A lot of mosquitos in the room upon my arrival. Sleeping is fine thanks to the mosquito net but mosquitos can enter the room easily because windows and doors do not close properly. Room is only meant for sleeping and showering, very dark inside as well. Bathroom very basic, shower witout partition to rest of bathroom and tapware incomplete. Personally, I did not feel too cozy being in the room/bathroom but normally you do not spend much time there anyway. Wifi good but signal did not cover the range up to my room, surfing only possible in the public area around the restaurant. Nice food with very fair prices, not much variety though (especially if you look for food without meat or fish). Staff always friendly and trying to help, not everybody speaks English. Breakfast is OK, do not expect big variety or a fancy buffet, it is very basic. But too many flies due to missing coverage. Only baguette, jam, butter, milk, coffee, tea, ... If you like a very simple, local, easygoing vacation, this is your place to be, the view and location at the beach is awesome. If you need more comfort, rather look for a different place.

Nous avons passĂ© un agrĂ©able sĂ©jour au Blue Africa. Ambiance familiale, personnel trĂšs chaleureux. Nous avions pris la demi-pension, petit dĂ©jeuner simple ( pain, beurre, confiture), le dĂźner est trĂšs bon et bien cuisinĂ© par le jeune cuisinier qui a du talent. Vue agrĂ©able. Plage nettoyĂ©e le matin. ( reste tjrs quelques plastiques, c’est l’Afrique malheureusement !) Petit bĂ©mol, hĂŽtel mĂ©riterait un bon rafraĂźchissement, les transats de plage devraient ĂȘtre changĂ©s. Mais je recommande cet hĂŽtel simple mais trĂšs chaleureux.

El lugar, cocoteros en frente del mar, la playa,....una maravilla. La habitacion penosa. La cama era de ladrillos que se veian perfectamente, mal acabada. Las mesitas igual, una chapuza. El baño pequeño, losas de diferentes colores, etc. El colchon muy incĂłmodo, se hundia a pesar del somier que tenia. Muchos mosquitos, por mas que se mataban, siempre habian mas, no sabiamos por donde entraban, aunque habĂ­an mosquiteras. El desayuno un ENGAÑO. Solo habia pan, mermelada de fresa y de mango. CafĂ© soluble con agua caliente. No habia leche ni frutas, ni nada mas. Una vergĂŒenza presentar un desayuno asi. El desayuno estaba incluido en el precio, pero la gente que llevaba varios dĂ­as alojados, desayunaban fruta y otras cosas que habian comprado por su cuenta.

Basic

Hotel is fine if you’re okay with never being in your room except for sleeping. Guests spend all their time on the beach or in the restaurant. The beach is clean and there are plenty of lounge chairs in the shade. The restaurant serves basically the same menu every day which after two or three days becomes boring. Breakfast is just OK, continental style with no eggs. No real food options within walking distance. Wi-Fi is good in the restaurant but not in the rooms. Be careful with your food bill when you leave. I don’t know if it was by accident or on purpose but I was nearly charged for several meals that were included in the cost of the room. Check your bill carefully. The service people are quite nice. This hotel is all about being on the beach and there are no other frills.
