Neptune

酒店環境沒話説，安靜，優美。我訂的是簡單套房，面積不錯，床和沙發也非常舒服。就是空調有點舊，偶爾有點響聲。酒店餐飲也不錯， 比較豐富，而且每天晚上都有樂隊演奏，還是很不錯的，值得推薦！

Very nice gardens. A short 2 min walk to the beach. Room, nice enough. Comfy bed, enough storage, air con good. Shower was good even though most of the water came out of the side of the shower head. We did miss having a balcony, but opening the windows we saw and heard lots of birds, very nice. Food, breakfast was cereals, pastries, fruit, with bacon and sausages most says. Also egg station for crepes or omelettes. We spotted the 2 slot toaster after 3 days there. Also coffee tea or juice to drink. All very clean and set overlooking the pool. Evening meal was waiter service which we preferred to buffet. It took a while translate from French but we managed. Lovely food made by a chef. Pool was large, with easy access by stone steps and pleasant temperature. Mostly free beds, but at times it was busy. The Beach was large, clean, lots of sunbeds. Very sandy. Sea very cold and not too clear due to sand churned up. We loved watching the world go by. One local took his goat in for a swim and a play! The main language there is French, we got by but most guests were French. They always greeted us and smiled. Evenings, a few older French couples danced, most music was French, a few English songs done as well,a Senegal trad dance show was great fun. A few of us joined in. We didn’t do out far as didn’t look to welcoming outside. Got a taxi to a large supermarket for some basic supplies and change some money. Took us a while to grasp the local money, the poor bar staff at hotel Were very patient and kind! We did go to the royam bar and beach bar some nights. The safari was highlight of our week. Booked through tui. Saw so many animals with no fences around. The transport that took around was large and allowed us to see really well. Met some fellow brits at hotel and they were all lovely. Overall a great, memorable holiday, we won’t revisit but so glad we did it.

Resort was nice an very peaceful while on the grounds. I do wish the g furnitue was more comfortable and the kitchen had a few more amenities/appliances. Walking o the beach was a headache with people constantly approaching to talk to you, to just meet you and be your friend, really wanting you to go to their restaurant or shop or boat, etc. They are a bit relentless The restaurant on site was nice with good prices. Also the restaurant behind the taxi stand called Pirougues was great We did tours with both Arona Starr and Mustafa. Arona has a lot of experience and many contacts, but also pushes you to buy things from his contacts to support the local economy. Mustafa is a newer guide but has a lot of knowledge and took good care of us and speaks very good english. I recommend them both. Arona can be found on the beach and Mustafa at the taxi stand. We did tour to Fathala, it is worth the long drive to walk with lions and safari. We also did this to Mbour fish market, Sea Shell Island and Goree Island, and Bandia Safari.

We are a ‘young’couple in our early 60’s and we booked our stay via RCI. We were allowed to check in a bit earlier however our apartment wasn’t ready. We had to ask for the kitchen door to be unlocked but when it was, there was no equipment in it! Even when it was finally stocked up there was No Kettle,no Washing up liquid,no dish cloth to wipe the surfaces. We had to ask for a bin liner on our first day and then when the bin was emptied it was never replaced. We also had to ask for a scouring pad, Ice tray and oven gloves (but they were useless) There was No Sharp knife! We had to prepare our meals using a bread knife! Have you ever tried to peel a kiwi with a bread knife? There was also No Grater, No Garlic press, No Wine glasses (only 4 small tumblers) , No wooden spoon. We had to ask 4 times for someone to fix the oven. The unit definitely wasn’t set up for self catering. The unit was very shabby, and not well maintained and was definitely not up to the standard that we expect from RCI. The kitchen badly needs refurbishing. There was no carbon monoxide monitor and yet we were cooking on gas. No smoke alarm and the fire extinguisher was outside! We were unlucky with our unit (no 1) as it was right by the reception and had people constantly walking by. The outside space wasn’t at all private. We could constantly hear the staff in reception shouting at each other all day long. There were also no mosquito nets. The biggest problem though was that Neptune is not on the beach! The RCI information states that the beach is on site which is very misleading and should be removed. You actually have to walk through a car park and a taxi rank then 100m down a path! The Gardens were beautiful and well maintained.

Hotel is located between Saly and Mbour in an exclusive location near the beach. The hotel is clean with a nice garden and pool area. The room is very basic, the Satellite TV is just news channels, and basically furnished..The breakfast is extremely limited to eggs, French patisseries, and cereals. The evening meal on half board is inevitably rice and fish..It's very disappointing considering the price paid by me.. Evening entertainment is a local group of musicians..Not bad, but a bit repetitive..More thought and variation is required in this establishment..I would say that they put in the minimum effort required.. They need some experienced international management..

This really is a lovely hotel most efficiently run by the Directrice - Stephanie - the gardens & pathways are between the buildings are immaculate & beautiful, the pool is superb & continuously skimmmed of leaves & insects. I had a suite on the top of a two storey building. White walls dark wood furniture, bedroom, bath room & sitting room - very spacious. Two televisions efficient air con & good shower. secure wall safe+excellent wifi. Breakfast is first class with omelettes made to order. Dinner was quite varied & sometimes the dishes were a little ambitious but always well presented & timely. Dinner was served at 8-00pm - not before - with an excellent cocktail bar that really served some very tasty fruity cocktails often prepared by the charming Abi. Every night there was entertainment -band , singer, local dancing & a mannequin parade showing off the outfits put together by the tailor in Neptune boutique. Every day various activities in the pool or ping pong etc. Most of the staff only speak french & almost all the guests were french. I loved my stay & am more than likely to return if in good physical shape.
