The location overlooking the lake is of course fantastic. On-site restaurant and bar are lovely, three pools to choose from (all operational when I was there). If you want to swim in the lake it's a bit of a climb down a wall to get there, or you walk through the bushes behind the small building at the far end of the pool area.
Staff was nice even if maybe a bit uninterested, but can't blame them, there were barely any guests and they essentially kept the restaurant and bar open just for a tiny group. Everything friendly and nice. Rooms are a bit dated but everything works fine, so it's alright. WiFi was actually very decent.

Give It The Pass…Too Many Issues
Stayed here as part of tour across Senegal.
Arrived at the hotel and were surprised by the facilities that include 2 pools and a large deck over the lake, with a fancy bar setup. That’s the positive part.
The room was on the smaller side and the bathroom needs an immediate refurbishment. The bed was comfortable and the aircon worked, unlike some of the other reviews. But the mosquitoes are present and definitely biting in the night inside the room…as the mosquito net has holes in it. Also the shower doesn’t work for more than a minute odd for hot water, so be ready for a cold shower.
Lastly, we did have a bad experience with the food. Our entire group got ill after dinner and we remained sick for the next 3-4 days…so it was a bad bug. This can happen sometimes but it is too much when coupled with the mosquitoes and the other infrastructure issues.
I would give this place the pass.

Good welcome, good food
We ate very well
Chicken curry, garlic shrimp, lamb shank
A little rosé wine

A very pleasant welcome for an impromptu evening
Unforgettable memory by the pink lake

A sub-standard overnight stay
We stayed here for one night, arriving late and me busting for the toilet after a long drive! One staff member, who spoke English, was super lovely and showed me to the “nice” toilet — there wasn’t any electricity so he also let me use his phone as a light (awwwww).
We seemed to be the only people staying there and other staff seemed indifferent to our presence. We had to ask for towels (they were nice ones, once they arrived), our balcony doors didn’t lock and there was a mosquito net over the bed but it had holes in it. The air-con was very poor in the room at first and the shower head squirted water everywhere… my friend and I had a semi-okay sleep — we both woke with sore backs and it was quite cold in the room as the air-con had finally kicked in!
We had some difficulty in the restaurant as half the food on the menu was not available and no-one spoke English (that’s okay — I do appreciate it’s not the country’s native language!) — we finally ordered food at 8pm (we were starving) and when it finally arrived, the meal was delicious (and huge!). Note that breakfast isn’t served until 8.30am — it was a very basic continental breakfast (omelet or crepe).

great location. good food. The water pressure in room is minimal. If you swim in lac Rose, wash off with pool shower then jump into hotel pool to clean algae off skin.
Very good location
