Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
