Hotel 2-Star di Thies, Senegal

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.

Hotel on the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Near the convenience. Impecable cleanliness, Clim top, hot water... very sympathetic and arranged staff. I recommend closed eyes for those who want to escape the very tourist complexes...
