10/10 Exceptional

Assistance notable de la part du personnel de la relation client. Service cordial et professionnel, une équipe en qui ont peu se référer et avoir confiance. Singularité de cette résidence par des touches décoratives de bon goût.

A Little Gem

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Pelican. It is kind of hidden and quiet. The rooms are not fitted with a fridge or kettle but there was one right outside our room and a full kitchen w/fridge for community use. Kitchen area was always clean. The WiFi was surprisingly fast. The hand held shower head was a bit of a hassle and we had a bit of a "moment" with the cleaner using our adapter to charge his mobile phone...inside our room. We laughed it off and I made sure the adapters were well tucked away just in case. The hotel is also in a great location. About 15-20 mins walk to the beach and one one of the main junctions so there's no need to pay for a town trip (private taxi) to get there unless you're traveling from with lots of bags. An 8-8 (shared taxi) will drop you off right in front of the hotel for 7-8 dalasis. (The price depends on the current price of fuel.) Just ask to go to Bakau from Traffic Light. Unfortunately if you are white or otherwise presumed to be a tourist, drivers may refuse to take you for the local price. Don't be discouraged though because a willing driver will come along.

Hotel ligt aan een doorgaande geasfalteerde weg die richting Bakau gaat. Hotel zelf ligt niet dichtbij het strand. Maar taxi is niet duur.

Olipa pettymys

EnsinnĂ€kin oven lukko ei toiminut, se vaihdettiin 2x uuteen lukkoon ennenkuin toimi ( lukkorunko ja kahva aina vaihdettiin mutta ei ovenkarmis olevaa vastakappaletta) nĂ€in elettiin ensimmĂ€inen viikko lukko reistaillen..yhden kerran siivooja oli unohtunut lukita oven. SĂ€ngyn patjan pÀÀllys riekaleine siitĂ€ roikkui iso kankaanpala jalkapÀÀdyssĂ€ ja osui ensimmĂ€isenĂ€ silmÀÀn kun astui ovesta sisÀÀn. Molemmat moskitoverhot rikki ja nekin vaihdettiin vasta neljĂ€ntenĂ€ pĂ€ivĂ€nĂ€, joka ilta sprayattiin koko huone ennen nukkumaan menoa mutta kuitenkin niitĂ€ inisijöitĂ€ oli 2-4 joka aamu mh/wc -》tuloksena minulla on noin 50 puremaa(kĂ€ytin kyllĂ€ offia) joista osa valitettavasti tulehtui niin pahaksi jotta jouduin hakemaan antibiootti kuurin, vahvat antihistamiinit ja rasvat 50e. Yövartijat/tai mitĂ€ lie nuoria poikia nukkui 4-5 yönĂ€ asiakkaille tarkoitetussa oleskelutilassa KĂ€yn usein öisin tupakalla niin kiva ensimmĂ€isellĂ€ kerralla kun menin yöpuvussa ulos niin siinĂ€ nukkuu vieras mies/poika Valtiin asiasta 3x. Vasta kolmannen valituksen jĂ€lkeen loppui yövieraat sohvalta. YhtenĂ€ yönĂ€ nukkujat vaihtui.. Pihassa oli autoille pysĂ€köintipaikka ja portti pidettiin kiinni Ohjeeksi saimme ettĂ€ tööttÀÀ niin avaamme. Mutta valitettavasti tĂ€mĂ€kÀÀn ei aina toiminut varsinkin iltaisin.. muutaman kerran myös aamulla lĂ€htiessĂ€ avasimme itse portin. Työn tekijĂ€t ok, muutaman englannin taito heikko tai eivĂ€t osanneet lainkaan. Ainut oikein positiivinen asia oli siisteys.
