The swimming pool is the central attraction, surrounded by lush greenery. There are many different kinds of birds in the trees. It is a pretty little oasis away from the main road, and is hard to find at night. There are no shops or services for miles so you are on your own. Bring snacks and extra water to save costs. Breakfast is extremely sparse, but you can get good fish here for dinner. The room is very basic but the bed is comfortable. I was allowed very late checkout without fuss. Bring your own entertainment since there is nothing to do here except getting a great tan by the pool.

This hotel is tricky to find, the best is to have the telephone number with you. The place is really nice with baobab trees, good WiFi in the common area. Big rooms with comfortable beds.

Do not stay here! Especially if you are female or on your own or have kids. Owner alternates between aggressive, passive aggressive and mean but can be helpful with some of the French guests (he's French). He calls himself Le Capitaine and his girlfriend? / wife? / concubine ? who speaks English does not help at all, in fact she sleeps in the common area on the chairs and gets annoyed if you disturb her, even though this is the only place where the wifi works. The driver was supposed to take us to a specific beach area but couldn't read a gps so he tried to get rid of us by dropping us off in the middle of nowhere, then tried to drop us off at some random house in some random town and then finally listened to our directions to get us near where we wanted to go. He complained that he needed us gone as he had to get back to the hotel for an airport run. The facility is close to Bandia Reserve but otherwise there is nothing nearby which is a problem because the owner keeps to a very rigid meal schedule. Dinner is 7:30, no flexibility. Even when we went out for the morning and came back for lunch to find the owner gone and we were unable to eat as there was no one there and kitchen was closed. Except for the cat that lives in it. When the owner finally returned late afternoon with his partner, the two of them sat down to a large meal of rice, meats, salads, dessert. We asked if we could get something to eat which was answered with a snarky no, dinner is at 7:30. We explained we hadn't eaten since breakfast and they didn't serve lunch as they weren't there. The female partner got mad at us for interrupting them. We settled our bill and left. The whole place has an "ick" factor to it. Not child friendly with the very rigid and late dinner hour as well as a phallic tap in community bathroom, sexually inappropriate murals in the rooms, French tv is always on the common area, the pool is closed although advertised as open, beer is more expensive than anywhere else we went in Senegal including fancy hotels. Felt celebratory to get out of there.

I arrived at baobab soleil to buffer between two flights. The host was very aggressive in the very first interraction (the driver was taking my luggage to the alley so we can leave it there to meet the host, he immediately started yelling "where do you think you're going"). The next morning, the host comes to ask me for payment as he was going somewhere, and acted really angry when I told him I only have my credit card on me and don't use orange pay. At some point he even slammed a piece of paper on the table and pretended it was accidental when I called it out. I gave it 2 out of 5 as I didn't stay long enough to have an opinion on the place itself, it however appeared decently maintained. That said, I just can't do business with people who can't comprehend the "tact" aspect of custommer service and express a minimal respect toward their clients.

Baobab Soleil was a very pleasant hotel to stay. These were the things I liked about the hotel: It was very close to the wildlife park, Foret de Bandia and the hotel shuttle could provide a ride to and fro for a fee. The hotel was also close to the airport, but since I was not flying in or out, it did not apply to me. There weren't too many staff members, only about three. They worked hard to provide services and were very friendly. The rooms were spacious, clean and had basic amenities. There was a large pool, which was open 24/7. Food was good although the menu was limited. There were alcoholic drinks to purchase. There was Internet access at the restaurant area. The surrounding area had many baobab trees making the name Baobab Soleil very fitting. One could take walks around the area with no safety concerns. Suggestions: If possible, have an Internet router so that people who like to do some work or read online could read in their rooms or patio instead of going to the restaurant, which is often loud with people talking and also has a lot of flies. Also the weaver birds on the large tree close-by make quite a racket that can be tiring after a while. I was there 3 nights and wished to do some work in my room, but could not do that and was a bit disappointed. All in all, it was a good 3-night stay at the hotel.

After 2 weeks drum workshop in St Louis, Senegal we return to Dakar, DSS to fly home with Brussel AL but NO we had to have an antigen/pcr test. Our flight was changed to the day after and Baobab Solei's car picked us up and took us to this magic place in "Baobab land". Sama new kharit Ami welcomed us, we got beautiful rooms and a late meal. In the morning their car took us to Mbour and we was tested. Back to Baobab Solei we had a nice "extra" day by the pool, a nice lunch and a safe drive back to the airport. Thankyou! We will be back❤

While spending two weeks at a drumming workshop in Saint Louis we had missed out that we needed to have a covidtest before transiting in Brussels on our way home. We had to change our fligt to the following evening and find out were we could get a covidtest on a Sathurday. With the help of very helpful staff at Brussel airlines and other staff at the airport we ended up booking rooms att Baobad Soleil in Sindia that sent a very nice small bus to pick us up at the airport. Arriving at the hotel very late we were greeted by friendly Ami who presented us with beautiful rooms and served us a good meal in the middle of the night. The following morning we had a very nice breakfast and after that the hotel arranged our transport to the clinic in Mbour so that we could do the test. The transport waited for us and took us back to the hotel where we enjoyed spending the day in the sun by the pool. We had a good late lunch before heading back to the airport. Our stay at Baoubab Soleil was a very positive experience and we hope to come back and stay there again if we are in need of accomodation close to the airport outside Dakar in the future.

A nice hotel with a shuttle service from Dakar airport. The entrance is not easy to find in the evening but the welcome is really very friendly, the bedding is excellent and there is a lovely swimming pool. We are next to the Bandia reserve.
