Excellent property. Ideally located. Nice decor. I wish the staff were more friendly, especially the staff at the front desk. They can be rude to the clients. And it seems like no one even taught them to smile or say thank you for staying at our hotel. They make you feel like you owe them something or they are doing you a favor by staying there, instead of the opposite.

On Goree Island you can learn about Dakar`s dark history while enjoying this little island`s lush and idyllic atmosphere. Only a short ferry ride from Senegal’s capital Dakar lays the tiny island Ile de Gorée. The island is a popular destination for anyone visiting Dakar and Senegal and tells the story of the slave trade across the Atlantic. The entire island was listed on UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. Read more on: http://www.travelwithallsenses.com/goree-island-slave-trade/

Ile de Goree Beach

Why not spend a carefree afternoon at Ile de Goree Beach during your travels in Dakar?

Ile de Goree Beach
Sandanga lies roughly midway on Plateau center in Dakar and is the biggest of Dakar`s markets. If you are not familiar with African markets is worth a visit, but be careful with your valuables and do not be fooled to follow strangers. Sandanga is a mix of flea market and tourist market. It is fussy and chaotic and sellers are ongoing. Try to visit Sandanga early in the morning. It is less crowded at that time of day and fruits and vegetables are fresh and look attractive.
