The location right on the beach. The breakfast was also quite good! La maison Abaka is an interesting place, the decoration is original. It felt quite relaxed staying there and being able to buy some souvenirs downstairs next to the reception was great! They sell nice stuff at an affordable price. The owner was friendly. Do try her homemade jams, she's right, it's good 😁!

The mattress was a little hard for me and whatever they used to protect it was making a bit of noise every time you move, but not too bad to deal with for a night.

nice tasteful decorations, low key old fashioned charm. amazing view of beach and sea. very good air conditioning in room. very clean room. good area - both real local area and walking distance to good restaurants and watersports. very helpful staff- they even went to local shop for us and bought us a sim card and phone charger

Setting, rooms, staff.

We were charged extra for breakfast and the breakfast was very limited and poor value for money.

Amazing staff, wonderful panorama

nice workers

Glass windows to be cleaned better, for a pleasant view

Thanks to Mamadou and Omar and everyone else for a great stay

The location is amazing but no direct beach access. Staff is nice and helpful. The style is nice but a bit dusty, not fresh anymore. We got an upgrade to a nicer room, which was nice.

The fact that they charge you 3% for credit card payment. This happens nowhere else anymore in Senegal. The place lacks ambiance. There is a sitting area and restaurant but breakfast (overpriced) needs to be ordered in advance. We ate dinner once but it took hours to be prepared. Also the mattresses are not good. Two hard mattresses with a split in the middle and a permanent dent in the middle.. also the blanket was too small for 2 people. The second room had glass shine through doors with curtains that were difficult to close each time you want to go through the doors. We don't understand the concept of glass doors in such a setting. I know the place from 7 years ago, and it lost a bit of its magic and charm

Nice terraces with a beautiful view of Ngor island. The beach is right next door. You hear the waves from your room even. At night there is a guard watching the door but still make sure to lock your door from the inside as well. The room is reasonably sized and overall acceptably clean and is cleaned on a daily. The bed is comfortable too. When it comes to the staff Omar is really nice and helpful. He went with me to buy a sim card on my first day and even lent me the money for it. They were honest about the place with the best conversion rate, which is within walking distance from the hotel, just on the main road. The staff did make sure I had a taxi waiting for me at the airport, as planned. They also made sure that I got one to take me all the way to Saly. They were overall nice. The walk from the taxi drop-off (place Ngor) to the hotel is not even a 2 minute walk. In the vicinity you have a few nice restaurants. You can even get a sandwich from one of the stands like the locals do. Trust me they are actually not that bad and cheap. Almedies area is not too far either. That is the busy area with lots of restaurants/lounges/bars. You can get taxis to pretty much anywhere in Dakar from Ngor (Plateau is about 35 minutes from there), just be careful to not get ripped off. Again take enough money with you!

The place is overpriced for what it is.You can pay by card at Abaka however they charge you a 3% fee if you do so (unless you have a certain type of card then it's less). The conversion rate is crazy! I expected at least 40 euros less to be charged on my card... There is a pool and a jacuzzi but with freezing cold water. I tried using the jacuzzi once and never again. They barely offer excursions. They are oblivious of how expensive a trip to Dakar can become. I asked about the pink lake for instance and they just told me to take a taxi (which is really expensive) and when I said that they told me not to be stingy... The same thing when I asked for the regular taxi prices. The area is not too bad it's right near the sea and you can hear the waves from your room, however the room itself felt a bit claustrophobic even though it's a reasonable size but that is because there is little to no natural light if you get the room with the street view. Watch out to not get ripped off if you take the boat to Ngor island it should be no more than 2500 XOF round trip. Place Ngor overall is quite safe just be careful at night, hopefully you won't encounter crazy agressive drunks. The cab drivers in place Ngor will rip you off if they can tell you're not from there. Always try to at least halve the price or take a taxi from the main road. Lots of vendors and scammers in the area so be careful. Overall good tip please take enough cash money with you and negotiate prices! If you decide to rent a car be careful traffic there is crazy! Dakar is lovely but I personally would go to the area of Saly/Somone when and if I go back. In Dakar itself I would definitely choose another place.

close to fairy boat to go across the bay.

I booked for 4 nights, AC didn’t work for 1.5 days, no other rooms available so I checked out after 2 days.

A good view and access to the beach. Adequate room space. Good water system, good wifi. Friendly hotel staff.

Their online marketing photos are overly retouched, the hotel did not look as refined or as spacious when I got there. The road leading to the entrance was also untarred, and hidden, so it took sometime to realise that was the front. It is also entwined in the community, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not the place, as there is even a school nearby that is quite active in the morning with kids singing and reciting their lessons and alot of noise at night from beach parties and the rest. The owner's pets are intrusive, and customers dont have a choice over if they want them around or not, which is quite unfair, considering ure paying to stay at the space. No full time reception staff, so I had to always go searching for who to talk to if i needed something. Communication is important and it was a bit dissapointing to see that not even one staff spoke good english especially since they advertise their facilities to people from non french speaking regions.
