Mövenpick Resort Lamantin Saly

So clean good

Jolie chambre spacieuse et très propre, bonne literie. Le personnel est aux petits soins, très accueillant, souriant et chaleureux. Les buffets petit-déjeuner et diner sont variés et bons, il y en a pour tous les goûts! (surtout le buffet des désserts -:) Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable.

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.

we had a great relaxing holiday here, all staff and managers very very helpfull, food and drink perfect, my only negative would be to say, its in need of bit love and tendering, looks a little tired in places, but i think that all in hand.all in all its just what was needed to chill and escape the uk,be it just a week.

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.

The hotel is about 45 mins from the nearest airport, mostly by motorway. The hotel has a small open air reception area. Check in was a bit slow and it is expected that a considerable sum will be held against a credit card. Beware of the amount! We had a large luxury room overlooking the marina. It was lovely but the fittings are dated and marked which does not reflect the standard expected. There is a safe but it is very high up and inaccessible to a short person like me unless you balance on the room stool which is not safe. The room towels were poor quality and therefore needed changing daily. The beds were large and comfortable and the a/c worked well but was noisy. The food was buffet service but was always hot with plenty of choice, The evening entertainment and Sunday afternoon saxophonist was perfect for the mostly older clientele but few stayed to enjoy it in the evening which was possibly due to the seating being so close to the restaurant and therefore not a more relaxing area. The staff were all lovely and helpful but little English is spoken so be prepared to communicate in French or use a phrase book or App. The beach is kept beautifully clean and there were always lots of sunbeds everyday. The sea is warm and safe and there are also jet skis and fishing available. Staff to be praised include: Abdouleye and Babbacar (beach) and Therese and Gamou (Guest relations) who were always helpful and cheerful. Negative point to note - there is a lot of building work both in front of and behind the hotel. The 'marina' is now just an enclosed water area with twenty floating rooms. These spoil the view somewhat and we had not been made aware of the noise during the day from the building work around the hotel. I'm sure this is only temporary. There is a nice pool and also a separate pool if you have a more superior room.
