Royal Saly

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 hotel is located in a beautiful place - on the beach with palm trees. Very beautiful territory - palm trees, baobabs. Green and blooming. Responsive staff - indulged our wishes, changing the rooms to one we liked without extra charge, even though we had booked a lower class room. On the last day, they allowed us to use late check out at 11 p.m. without additional payment, which was very pleasant. The choice of food is not large (especially at breakfast), but enough to always find something tasty. Unlike other AI hotels, the food never ran out even before the end of the meals. The Valentine's Day dinner was especially thought out - both the design and the wide range of dishes. Almost every evening during dinner there was live music. One evening (in 5 days) there was an African show. Beautiful pool, which never lacked sunbeds. Also on the beach there were free sunbeds available at any time. Appropriate glasses for spirits and wine, but cocktails were in cheap random glasses. Negative. The rooms are very very old, worn out. They are in dire need of renovation. There are many plates with chipped edges and dents in the restaurant. There are a lot of plates, they are never lacking, so the chipped plates could be removed from circulation and there would always be enough undamaged plates. Another drawback that can be easily eliminated - in the restaurant, the waiters quickly remove dirty dishes from the tables, but do not clean the tables - they remain crumbly and dirty. This is not a luxury hotel, but if you want to enjoy a simple but good hotel, then this is definitely it!

Hotel Royal Saly provided the perfect ending to our tour of Senegal. The grounds are breathtaking, quiet and relaxing. The stay included 3 meals per day, I have never encountered this in any other hotel. The restaurant comes alive at night with music and dancing, love it. Great staff, great service.
