Reviews of Tama Lodge

Unique concept. Original design. Exceptional area.

1. No gym. But I worked out outside with whatever was available there. 2. Inconsistent breakfast serving: each morning, the available staff would bring breakfast items (coffee, juice, baguette, yogurt, omelette, sliced fruit, honey, ...) in a different order, with delays in between. 3. Expensive taxi service to and from the airport. A 20 min taxi ride should cost about 2500 CFA, yet the 45-60 min ride to the airport costed 25,000 CFA. However, the airport car was higher quality (bigger, electric windows, newer)... 4. Local using the hotel beach for sitting./exercising/swimming ... 5. Exceptionally dirty shoreline. Lot's of plastic and trash. Likely recent oil spill, too. Muddy ocean. Did not swim at all because of this.

excellent food, clean private beach under palm trees, free parking, friendly service

air conditioner in one of the two rooms didn't work properly and the hotel had some problems with electricity; however, the hotel management did theit best to solve the issue - so not a big deal for us.

The little houses, the decoration, the breakfast and the local dishes. Everything was beautiful

The property is amazing, right by the beach and incredibly set up. All the staff was great, really helpful. The waitresses at the restaurant were very kind. Macoumba always had everything perfectly ready for us, super nice person.

A beautiful hotel -- in the most wonderful location, sand and ocean. We loved the decor and our room was large. We were lulled asleep by the sound of the ocean each night and woke to sunny skies. We will definitely come back. Thank you!

The lodge is absolutely fabulous. It is full of beautiful details! Pelagie and the team, the breakfast and the restaurant are great! the lodge has the only corner of the beach which is clean!

If you take a walk on the beach, unfortunately the beach around the lodge is extremely dirty. It is very sad but this is a bigger problem that doesn’t concern the lodge..

the rooms were beautifully designed, with clear views of the sea and sun. the food was delicious, and portions were huge. a very warm and relaxing space.

Tama lodge is a very special place — the rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the food is delicious and the staff incredibly kind. Time feels slower and sweeter there. We’ll be back for sure !

Very nice design accommodation, you hear the sound of sea. Breakfast is rather simple, however in Senegal above average... Comfortable sleeping.

Dirty public beach in front of the accommodation, hotel staff could make some cleaning.., Overpriced dinners.

Wonderful Lodge, situated in a large garden right at the beach. Breakfast is served under palm trees with view of the ocean.

all was great

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The ocean-facing huts were unique in their design and very charming. Beautiful art and statues all around the property. Excellent views of the beach. Nice restaurant with a few options for dinner and a standard breakfast with good-quality baked goods.

The room wasn't particularly well-sealed, meaning that there were lots of bugs that were able to get into the room. At least in part because of the gaps in the doorframe and windows, the air conditioning, even on full blast, couldn't get the room to a comfortable temperature. There is also nothing much within walking distance (restaurants, shops, etc.), although taxis are readily available.

The location and the staff were so helpful and it is a great place for a break away from the city. The food was excellent as well and served with care. The long beach is a great place to walk or jog especially as the sun is setting ....

Although the staff clean the beach in front of the lodge every day you do have to be prepared to see a lot of plastic coming in on the waves - it is the way it is at the moment but the staff thanked me every time I helped them pick up bags and bottles.

The type of room we booked was unavailable because of maintenance/ renovation works, therefore we got an upgrade to a suite 'le chef'. Magnificent, spacious, nicely decorated room with double bathroom!!! The location is excellent, nice and quiet at a perfect beach and at walking distance (+/- 2km, it might be worth taking a calèche ;-)) from the centre. Very pituresque beach environment with kids playing in the sea and exercising on the beach, fishermen working in their pirogues and women selling their handicrafts. The restaurant serves superb food!

Nothing, it was the perfect spot to end our trip through Senegal with some chillaxio in the sand

Incredible hospitality, super nice and private rooms - simply a great place 10/10

Amazing location, directly at the beach with a nice design and very good food.

Rooms could be a bit improved, some of the lights and fan didn’t properly worked. No extra plugs for mobile phones. Mosquito net could be a bit better designed.

Beautiful, small and private hotel with an exceptional style, located right at the beach. The staff is lovely, the food is prepared fresh and of high quality.

We got to stay in a hotel on the beach within a couple of feet of the sea, the hotel was very funking in its culture style. The surrounding area was the real Senegal with real people. The owner and staff could not have be more accommodating if they tried, (it was natural and not forced on them). No tvs no loud music just the sound of the sea, wind and birds. What more could you want from a holiday.

Can not say we disliked anything.

Tama Lodge is on a wonderfully long beach that is great for walking. The site is private and well maintained. The breakfast was delicious as well as other wonderful meals. The rooms are great but the bed a bit hard. There are plenty of lounge areas to enjoy on the property. The owner and staff were very pleasant and helpful.
