Hotel Dengan Pools di Thies, Senegal

This hotel is a treasure for those wanting to feel like they are in Senegal. It has a casual, friendly atmosphere where every member of the staff is there to help you and wants you to be comfortable. A shout out to Alfa, Amadou and Ibrahim. The beach is lovely, shaded by palm trees. The rooms are a good size, comfortable with good showers. The restaurant is open air with good food, quite a lot of variety and so many desserts every night. There is some type of entertainment most nights, one or a few musician/singers - a nice ambiance to the evening meal . The night of the Senegalese drummers was wonderful. Blocks of rooms are built around a number of mature baobab trees with flowering shrubs all around. There are so many birds here. The hotel is just off the main street of town with shops and restaurants nearby should you choose to go out.

The swimming pool is the central attraction, surrounded by lush greenery. There are many different kinds of birds in the trees. It is a pretty little oasis away from the main road, and is hard to find at night. There are no shops or services for miles so you are on your own. Bring snacks and extra water to save costs. Breakfast is extremely sparse, but you can get good fish here for dinner. The room is very basic but the bed is comfortable. I was allowed very late checkout without fuss. Bring your own entertainment since there is nothing to do here except getting a great tan by the pool.

Overall it’s pretty good! Advantages: The room is in the style of an African hut, has a balcony, is close to the beach, the swimming pool is large, and the people are very welcoming! Disadvantages: The price is really high, the beaches in Africa are really not comparable to those in Southeast Asia, the breakfast is very unfamiliar, and the TV only has French channels!

It’s a nice guesthouse with sea view rooms. The outside area with a small swimming pool is pleasant. The staff are nice and the food is reasonably priced and good. Unfortunately the location is a bit far from Mbour and Saly and the beachfront is very dirty. The Wi-Fi is rather weak. However if you want to escape from it all, it’s a good place.

Lovely spacious and very clean room, good bedding. The staff is attentive, very welcoming, smiling and warm. The breakfast and dinner buffets are varied and good, there is something for everyone! (especially the dessert buffet -:) We had a very pleasant week.

The resort has a very distinctive kind of grass roof, separate toilet and bathroom, and room facilities are good. The room lighting is very distinctive (see picture)). The advantage is that even in summer, there is a cool breeze under the beach chairs but there is no shortage of sunshine. In addition, most Chinese tourists do not like to go to such primitive resorts. They can come here if they like quietness and experience the foreign customs of Africa. The only thing that needs improvement is that the catering is not rich enough, which is a little shabby (compared to other hotels, maybe because there are not many tourists in the season). Blowing in the cool sea breeze, the sun lounger is quietly basking in the sun, watching the children next to you play freely, it is a good place to relax and quiet

The hotel environment is great, quiet and beautiful. I booked a simple suite, which is good in size, and the bed and sofa are very comfortable. The air conditioner is a bit old and makes a little noise occasionally. The hotel's dining is also good, with a rich variety of food, and there is a band playing every night, which is very good and worth recommending!
