Mövenpick Resort Lamantin Saly

Staff friendly , the place is clean and I will recommend it to anyone visiting Saly. The buffet is very good and the food delicious…

So clean good

Facilities and personnel were excellent. We stayed in the new "boathouse" section which was terrific. Ahamdou, Ndella was extremely thoughtful and understanding in making it very special for wife's birthday celebration. Thank you Mövenpick

I had a disappointing stay at the Movenpick Lamantine Hotel in Saly, Senegal, on March 15th. Despite being a five-star hotel, the room had several issues like malfunctioning AC, a broken door, and poor maintenance, making it feel more like a two-star facility. At 1:30 AM, a staff member entered our room while we were sleeping using a duplicate key, which was a serious breach of security. The food quality was poor, and overall, the service was unprofessional. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this hotel.

With temperatures in the 30s, low humidity and sunshine throughout our 14 night stop who could ask for much more. The hotel is about 20 years old and is currently undergoing some refurbishment, which is needed, however the staff are great. The facilities are adequate and the food is extremely good. Recently taken over with a super efficient, friendly and motivated manager called Jeffrey. This is a must if you want winter sun in January. It’s on the same time zone as London and with a direct flight just five hours away. About 40 minutes from the airport it cost about £30 in a taxi. We have found this place, incredibly relaxing and warm to escape the cold weather back in Blighty. Lots of French and Italian people here that have discovered this place, but yet to be discovered by England’s masses, let’s be honest we need an affordable winter sun destination. The Maldives is incredibly humid this time of year and very uncomfortable and the Caribbean is getting rather expensive with the price of air travel. This place should do well over the next few years.

Overall its a nice place and we had a good time. However, it might be 5 star in terms of facilities, but it is only 3/4 star in terms of luxury. The food is really good, the staff really freindly, there is a good pool and the beach is great with plenty of sunbeds and plenty of parasols. On the other hand the general finish in the rooms is not all that good and the towels are not great either - and there doesn't seem to be enough of them to replace them straight away. Same thing at the beach where they ran out of towels one day and we had to wait for a new delivery. Our room had a phone as you might expect, but it wasn't connected and didn't get sorted before we left! Wifi signal was a bit patchy in the room. Not at the same level as other Movenpick hotels. Would we return? Well, we would certainly give the alternatives a good look first.
