My family and I stayed at Royal Saly for a weekend getaway.The staff was pleasant and courteous.I was a bit on edge as other reviews stated the front desk receptionist is rude - but no quarrels. The food was good but again as some people stated, they were hosting conferences; if you did not get there at a reasonable time, the food was almost gone. However the selection they had was amazing.Overall I would recommend staying here again.My family and I booked here to have a peaceful and restful stay since we were primarily in Dakar.Nice beach and pool area!

We went to Senegal for 10 days and stayed at the Saly hotel. We throughly enjoyed our time this was down to the facilities and all the people who work in the 2 resorts (it's two hotels in one). From those in reception, bar, pool attendees and restaurant everyone smiles and offers first class and attentive service. English is not widely spoken but didn't cause an issue, we do suggest you brush up on French (something we need to do more of in the uk)and have the Google translate app to hand.The rooms are excellent and surprisingly large (ours had a separate sleeping area), we requested an iron which was provided.The food in the hotel is of good quality and there is even a microwave on hand if you like your food piping hot like we do.The location of hotel is in close proximity to most things. There is a long beach attached to this hotel, you are free to walk all the way along. It is shared by other hotels which is beautiful.We would recommend this hotel you will not regret it. We plan to return soon.

Hotel Royal Saly provided the perfect ending to our tour of Senegal. The grounds are breathtaking, quiet and relaxing. The stay included 3 meals per day, I have never encountered this in any other hotel. The restaurant comes alive at night with music and dancing, love it.Great staff, great service.

+ Nice beach, great pool, beautiful garden, wide selection during meal times.- Although the hotel was half empty, I got a house very far from the central (pool and restaurant) area and the beach. - Local guys never leave you alone on the beach (which becomes a bit irritating after a while, however the same happens when you go out to the village).- Fridge or safe available only on a weekly rental basis

I would have given 5 stars as this hotel is exceptional in everything except the reception & the cleaning which I'll mention later after the more positive...

I would have given 5 stars as this hotel is exceptional in everything except the reception & the cleaning which I'll mention later after the more positive areas .The restaurant was a delight with great food & wonderful staff .BREAKFAST : 7am - 10 am .Always fresh fruit , croissants, cereals, jams , eggs orange ,baobab & hibiscus fruit juices as well as coffee , tea & chocolate . I was grateful to the staff who brought me a lemon to squeeze with hot water & honey every morning . For late risers there is coffee & croissants in the bar till midday .LUNCH : 1 pm - 2.30 pm Lovely fresh salads grown from the hotels own gardens . Pasta , chips , rice , vegetables with both fish & meat choices . Fresh fruits in season , home made ice creams & desserts .AFTERNOON SNACKS :Crepes , fresh fruit & tea are made by the pool every afternoon .DINNER ; 8 pm - 10 pm Wonderful home made soups . Often a themed meal with Chinese , Senegalese , Italian , Fisherman's night with seafood's galore , suckling pig , beef Wellington & my favourite grilled fish . White , rosé & red wines or a jug of filtered tap water accompanied these delicious meals. Often we would ask for a coffee & cognac or minty digestive to enjoy after our meal .We found something tasty & healthy at every meal & didn't get bored with the menu.THE BAR ; 10 am - midnight Well stocked with good spirits , mixers & juices . The friendly bar staff will make you either an alcoholic or non alcoholic cocktail depending on your choice . There was many a pina colada & rum sunrise sipped at sunset overlooking the beach with the tide coming in & a plate of peanuts . Brand drinks & mixers are of course payable , but I supplied my own tonic water & the bar supplied me with large gins , ice & lemon so I was very happy !.Entertainment & the Animators :Two charming young men to keep you lively with their great music ,ping pong , boules ,archery etc .There are 2 canoes & a pedalo . Good free WiFi in reception & certain rooms .There are 3 evenings with entertainment .Tuesday is Senegalese night with folk lore dancers & tamtams . Friday & Saturday evening local bands play during dinner so you can dance & dine .Thursday local stall holders set out their wares by the bar & pool area . They are more pricey than outside & can be quite insistent .A young lady will do African tresses by the pool . There is also a massage & beauty parlour which my husband really enjoyed & says they were the best 5 massages he's had in a while for 30 € per hour each .Wonderful gardens to walk through & admire the flowers , lizards & amazingly colourful birds . When you first arrive at the hotel the walk through the gardens with your suitcases at 4 am can seem endless until you arrive at reception .MBour is well worth a visit & there is a fisherman in the hotel who will take you by pirogue to watch the bustling market when the fisherman arrive with their catch . He will also take you fishing for only 20€ per person .There are taxis just outside the hotel but they are expensive & one driver ' Hassan' can be very unpleasant so I advise you to walk a few minutes from the entrance before getting a taxi .Count 200 CFA each for a shared taxi to MBour or 1000 if you want it to yourself . 300 CFA to nearby Somonne .Saly village is just outside the hotel & its an enjoyable walk , looking in the shops & craft markets . There are a couple of shops with prices marked so one can get an idea before bargaining elsewhere . There are banks , supermarkets , chemists , exchange bureaux ( bad rate in hotel !) , restaurants , bars , clubs and a casino nearby to the hotel .RECEPTION / CLEANING :The reception staff , ( except the 2 young trainees ) were not very helpful & it was through other tourists that we found out about having to leave the key if you wanted cleaners to do your room . We handed in the key twice to no avail but on the third try when I insisted we needed clean towels the room was eventually cleaned . The following week I left a tip for 5000 CFA & the room was cleaned again . We didn't insist on the third week as the cleaners seemed to be busy elsewhere & we made do . I've never been in a hotel with this cleaning system before & found it let the hotel down .Bottled water is not provided in the all inclusive - only filtered tap water . We bought 6 packs from the local supermarket .The temperatures were exceptionally high this January & reached 40° ( luckily the clime worked well in the room .)The pool was 23° , the sea about 25° . We walked along the beach most mornings to watch the fishermen pull in their nets by hand . Often we'd walk for miles along the coast & get a taxi back for a few hundred CFA's .I'm hoping to come back in November this year as all in all the quality for the price we paid is unbeatable & the staff & other tourists very pleasant .
