Accommodation with a big heart
I went alone for the first time to Senegal. I've traveled a lot, but now I'm wondering if it makes sense. I researched the risks and booked this destination Yoff and the hotel by chance. There was only one review. I can tell you that my trip was one of the best! My room, or rather my apartment, is spacious and clean. The hotel staff was very pleasant and alert. The host of the hotel took care of everything needed and beyond expectations: Airport transfers, money exchange, excursions. The manager did his job with a big heart. I don't remember ever receiving such care from anyone. A warm recommendation to travel to this hotel and to Senegal. Joy and sun, goodness and care are strong reasons to go on a trip. Full marks for Kakatar.
p.s. The beach was a bit dirty, when not the so-called tourist time, summer time is also fine.
