Je viens de passer trois jours à l’Hôtel Rio à Ouidah et le séjour a été tout simplement extraordinaire. L’hôtel est calme, confortable et très agréable. Les lits sont particulièrement confortables, ce qui garantit un excellent repos. Le personnel mérite une mention spéciale : accueillant, disponible, souriant et toujours prêt à rendre service. On s’y sent vraiment bien pris en charge. J’aurais aimé prolonger mon séjour, mais le travail m’appelait déjà… Je recommande vivement cet hôtel et je vous conseille de vous y arrêter chaque fois que l’occasion se présentera.
