Mövenpick Resort Lamantin Saly

So clean good

The hotel is about 45 mins from the nearest airport, mostly by motorway. The hotel has a small open air reception area. Check in was a bit slow and it is expected that a considerable sum will be held against a credit card. Beware of the amount! We had a large luxury room overlooking the marina. It was lovely but the fittings are dated and marked which does not reflect the standard expected. There is a safe but it is very high up and inaccessible to a short person like me unless you balance on the room stool which is not safe. The room towels were poor quality and therefore needed changing daily. The beds were large and comfortable and the a/c worked well but was noisy. The food was buffet service but was always hot with plenty of choice, The evening entertainment and Sunday afternoon saxophonist was perfect for the mostly older clientele but few stayed to enjoy it in the evening which was possibly due to the seating being so close to the restaurant and therefore not a more relaxing area. The staff were all lovely and helpful but little English is spoken so be prepared to communicate in French or use a phrase book or App. The beach is kept beautifully clean and there were always lots of sunbeds everyday. The sea is warm and safe and there are also jet skis and fishing available. Staff to be praised include: Abdouleye and Babbacar (beach) and Therese and Gamou (Guest relations) who were always helpful and cheerful. Negative point to note - there is a lot of building work both in front of and behind the hotel. The 'marina' is now just an enclosed water area with twenty floating rooms. These spoil the view somewhat and we had not been made aware of the noise during the day from the building work around the hotel. I'm sure this is only temporary. There is a nice pool and also a separate pool if you have a more superior room.
