Mbelane Hotels

"The setting of the hotel is stunning. It is peaceful and calm location. The food is good. The hot chocolate is a must try. The staff are friendly. The excursions offered by the hotel are well organised. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The hotel is more beautiful than the pictures. Feedback points: Pre hotel stay communication was slow and could have been faster. "

"We loved the Ecolodge de Simal. It's really off the beaten track (quite literally so), but once you get there, the location is wonderful: right on the water. We were there for three nights. The food was plentiful, fresh, and tasty; the free activities (like a excursion en pirogue) was wonderful; the pool is chlorinated and clean; the rooms are rustic with open air bathrooms and toilets, but comfortable; the housekeeping good; the bar/restaurant staff friendly. It's not a "luxury" resort--there's no wifi or AC-but for the average traveler who wants to feel comfortable and relax, and who is interested in not seeing the "same old" Senegal, this place is for you! I would return again without hesitation. While you're there: take a day trip to Fadiouth and the amazing Musee Mich"

" nature: mangroves, birds, monkeys, baobab Toubakouta village in walking distance great views from terrace nice bungalow village clean rooms with AC and mosquito nets organisation of tours (e.g. by boat), start directly at the property kind staff good breakfast/dinner nice bar refreshing pool Summary: overall great location for everyone who loves nature, good food and friendly people. - transfers by car to other towns or airport seem a bit pricey - buildings not the newest anymore, but that didn't bother us too much (because everything was clean)"
