À éviter absolument. Séjour catastrophique du début à la fin : rien ne correspond au standing attendu d’un hôtel 5 étoiles. Management hautain, prétentieux et totalement non professionnel. Repas immangeables, service d’une lenteur et d’une médiocrité affligeantes, le tout pour des prix exorbitants. Fuyez, il y a bien mieux ailleurs.

Everything was so amazing… I honestly don’t even know what to say. My staycation away from the noisy madness of Lagos was so needed, and choosing Sofitel Cotonou Marina was the best decision. This was a much-needed, restful, peaceful, and absolutely fantastic reset. 10/10 — I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! A huge shout-out to Ms. Veronique and Madiath at the front desk — my checkout was so smooth. All the staff were truly wonderful, warm, and professional. I’m so impressed. Sofitel has really upheld the brand beautifully here. ✨💯🙌 I’m definitely coming back.

I stayed here for my birthday. It’s a beautiful well maintained hotel. The staff are all great. There is a surprising lack of hooks to hang up towels in the bathroom, only one hook so it’s impossible to reuse towels even though that is encouraged for environmental reasons. The tasting menu at L’Ami was fantastic.
