West AFRICAN BEACH

Homy and personal service. The staff was particularly hospitable. Excellent breakfast served until midday

Not very close to the city center, but right on the beach. Splendid and calm beach with tourists and locals.

Beautiful, comfortable, staff very friendly, in front of the beach, everything was perfect. I just wished more time there, one day wasn’t enough.

I liked everything.

Loved this hotel that was like a thatched house. Having breakfast served to us by the swimming pool was a beautiful way to start the day. All the staff were great but Paco in particular made our stay. He works so hard and was always there to greet us with a smile, help us with something, make us a coffee, or even to play us a little something on his guitar. On our last evening he joined us on the beach with some musicians from Guinea (Isa and Aisha and another guy who all play at the nearby restaurant Chez Poulo on Thursdays and Fridays). It was a beautiful last evening of music, singing and dance for us in Senegal. Oh, and Paco can connect you to ISA if you're interested in having a drumming lesson on the beach - we did and it was a highlight of our holiday. Isa is an incredible musician and brilliant teacher.

Everything was great and we enjoyed staying in a more local area with little shops and restaurants nearby rather than in a large hotel.

West African Beach Hotel is located directly on the beach just a block from the main road that runs along the coast in Mbour. There are just four rooms (I think) with each having ocean and pool views, good Wi-Fi, A/C and satellite TV from France. The hotel serves a filling breakfast every morning and coffee and juice on demand throughout the rest of the day. The staff is excellent and the cleaning ladies will even do your laundry for free (I'd recommend giving a tip because they do an excellent job). I never found a good restaurant near the hotel, but Saly where there are more options is just a short Yango taxi ride away. I really enjoyed my three days at West African Beach and hope to return at some point for a longer stay.
