8/10 Very good

A very beautiful resort with great rooms. Everything was perfect but the food was average or below average. It’s also a pity that the wine is so bad that it’s undrinkable.

We loved our stay. Many simple choices to suit everyone. The beach is absolutely beautiful, pools are also a great choice to relax. Food is really good. Loved the various choices of fresh fruit and there is even a really cute small shop with very nice souvenirs. Perfect stay! Will definitely go back :)

Lamine, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very modern property with many amenities for a comfortable stay. There have been more than 3 times where the electricity went out for a short time. With respect to A/C it is centralized, therefore not providing the customer with an option to increase or decrease the temperature. Beside these nuisance I had a wonderful stay short of five star service. I’ll visit again !

Papa, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel itself is beautiful but the food could not be any worse. I actually got food poisoning on the second day of this trip because of how bad it was. If you are cultured at all, you will not enjoy the food. The room was nice, views were nice, but food is too important. After day 2, I just stopped eating. I heard it’s still new so hopefully they can resolve this.
Rebecca, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

They could not pull up my reservation Had to book a second room Got charged for both
Sean, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average at Best! Front Desk: lacks adequate English speaking service agents. I understand it's located in a foreign country, but there should be at least one multilingual personnel on duty during each shift. Buffet: plenty of section but lacks quality. Restuarants: This was truly a shock. Each specialty restaurant is basically the buffet on a smaller scale. There is no a la carte menu. There is no need to visit or waste time making a reservation. Just go to the buffet. The grill chicken by the pool was actually not bad and made up for the lack luster lunch buffet selections. Rooms: The rooms were clean, and housekeeping was adequate. They can provide better quality towels. The towels are very small and thin. You will need to request additional towels. You're better off getting fresh towels from the pool to use for your evening showers and then exchanging them the next day. The Pool: The pool with the bar can get very crowded but there are other pools that are enjoyable and not crowded. The beach: nothing to write home about. It's a small stretch. If you walk up further out, the beach has litter everywhere. The water had seaweed but was enjoyable but not the best. If you're looking to cut calories and drop a few pounds, this is the place for you!! Overall, just try another beach resort that is located in Saly.

Papa Gallo, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

L’hôtel est affiché 5 étoiles, mais mis à part la taille et la décoration, je pense avoir suffisamment voyagé à travers le monde pour dire que ce sont des étoiles de complaisance. La chambre est belle, mais le bâtiment fait très « usine » : de longs couloirs sans décoration, du béton. C’est pourtant un hôtel récent, et déjà de la moisissure apparaît dans la douche. À l’arrivée, un fond de gel douche pour la première journée, puis plus jamais rempli. La douche est équipée d’un simple pommeau, pas de douche pluie comme on en trouve dans les établissements qui se respectent. Au buffet, c’est la foule en permanence, et pour accéder aux restaurants, il faut réserver et insister lourdement : au final, seulement deux sur quatre étaient accessibles, les autres étant pris d’assaut ou fermés. Les piscines sont bien, sauf celle avec le bar, beaucoup trop petite pour accueillir tout le monde. Côté animation, les animateurs sont très sympathiques et l’accueil s’est bien passé, avec un homme très professionnel et accueillant. Les bars sont corrects, mais les cocktails sont de simples mélanges inventés, pas de vrais cocktails. Les spectacles sont dans l’ensemble réussis, avec une belle scène. La discothèque est en revanche trop petite et mal configurée : rien pour s’asseoir normalement et confortablement. Le splash world est un vrai plus, mais déjà certains carreaux se détachent dans les piscines. La salle de sport existe, mais elle se limite à un petit rack de 4 machines, dont 2 étaient

Le Sénégal qui gagne

Franchement j’ai été très étonné, hôtel, fantastique personnel, magnifique, l’hôtel est très grand Pas, cieux propre qualité du service. Rien à dire je recommande fortement surtout pour les familles, il y a de quoi s’amuser. Dommage que le prix est un petit peu élevé mais ça vaut le coup quand même on en a pour son argent.

Bon séjour

Notre petit sejour c'est très bien passé, l'hôtel est vraiment très agreable et le personnel très agréable et de bon service. C'est la deuxième fois que nous venons, nous apprecions vraiment l'etablissement Riu Baobab mais il me semble necessaire que la direction renforce son équipe d'accueil des nouveaux arrivants car le personnel n'est pas assez nombreux ce qui génère pas mal d'énervements... c'est dommage ! Et enfin, nous trouvons la nourriture de qualité médiocre hormis les délicieux plats à base de poisson, sénégalais et les pizzas... les desserts vraiment moyens et trop sucrés. Mais sinon très bel endroit !

Fiz a reserva para 2 adultos e 1 criança de 3 anos, no check in fui cobrado pela criança e no quarto só tinha cama king-size, nem sequer tinha cama para criança ou sofá cama.

Spacious and good sea views. Great pools!

I was lucky to stay during a quiet time, as I know the hotel can get busy. It was lovely and peaceful. The pools are fabulous, the grounds well kept and the beach area beautiful. I found the buffets very mediocre and the food in then Steakhouse underwhelming. I loved my massage in the tranquil spa. I don’t like to listen to music and there was often loud music from exercise classes, entertainment and the pools. At night, it went on quite late. I would definitely go back as it’s a very comfortable place to stay.

Superbe séjour dans l'ensemble. On reviendra sûrement, mais le seul bémol c'est la présence de moustiques dans notre chambre.
