Lamantin Beach Resort & Spa provides a real ‘WOW’ factor when it comes to excellent accommodation in beautiful surroundings. So, when it was time for me to choose where I would stay during my trip to Saly, Senegal the decision was not a hard one for me. Transfer time from Dakar Blaise Diagne Airport to Saly is about 40 minutes, you can catch a taxi right outside of the airport.
Once I arrived, check-in was very quick and easy, which was great because I was a little tired from the flight. I was ready to go to my room, shower and take a nap. The weather in Saly can get a little hot, so while you are checking in, the awesome front desk staff offers you water or this really tasty fresh juice that they make.
Make yourself right at home in one of the beautiful hut style rooms at Lamantin. Lamantin is located 1 hour South of Dakar in the heart of the beautiful touristic town of Saly. Benefiting from a prime beachfront location, Lamantin leads the way amongst its neighboring hotels, providing an excellent standard of accommodation and beautiful surroundings.
The resort is composed of these beautiful traditional freestanding huts offering luxurious amenities & purely traditional local African decor. all of the huts sit in this welcoming green garden landscape. All of the rooms have a queen-size bed and are well air-conditioned. They all feature a private terrace and are equipped with:

Lamantin features 2 culinary restaurants and a bar with a terrace shaded by coconut trees or stay in and take advantage of the 24-hour room service. During the day make sure you relax with a refreshing drink at one of the 2 bars/lounges.

I had a great opportunity to partner with the awesome marketing team at Lamantin and they set me up to stay at two of there other beautiful properties as well. So, my time at Lamantin was a perfect introduction to the Saly area. It was the kick-off to an amazing 10-day experience!
