Keur Marrakis — Hotel in M'bour

I give this hotel four stars because of two things: the outdoor dining area with a sea-view and the friendly staff. ||||I am glad I was there mostly during dry weather, which allowed me to enjoy the outdoor seating. However, the 15 minutes or so that I spent inside in the sitting area when it rained, it felt like sitting in an unkempt living room of a big family.||||It was indeed a family business and many people, possibly family members were helping out.

So, I can forget about the not-so-good stuff...

A nice, clean and simple hotel, very helpful and friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere.||A fine - not extraordinary- dinner for 10 €, served on the teras with view over the ocean. ||The hotel is directly on the beach - unfortunately the beach is terribly dirty and nobody could swim in the ocean.

The rooms are simple and not for staying in daytime - there you should look for a place under the trees. ||Mbour is Africa: wonderful people, chaotic traffic, excellent street food and no Aldi or Lidl - which we...

Stayed for some nights with my mother and we just loved. She was a bit apprehensive with the location at night but all the rest is wonderful.. from the people the family that runs the place, the staff, the fresh fish captured each morning from the sea, the room, the breakfast on the terrace a few meters from the water, the beach. We booked a transfer Airport (Dakar) to Mbour with their own private taxi driver, who also took us around to visit the Resorts touristic area. Breakfast included, free wifi. Excellent choice! I don't think there are many touristic places...
