Dakar Vacation Packages

I have visited Dakar on a number of occasions and had always wanted to spend more time along this beautiful corniche with its views of the ocean and Gorée island in the distance. The Hotel Jardin Savana more than met my expectations with its gracious and helpful staff, spacious rooms and well maintained furnishings. The design of the building seems to mimic the architecture of the slave fort at Gorée, which was alarming. But it really is quite grand and beautiful with large circular exterior staircases. My room had a balcony overlooking the large Olympic sized swimming pool and the ocean just beyond it. The room amenities (soap, shampoo, bath gel) are modest but sufficient. There was an espresso machine in the room. The daily room cleaning, with fresh towels and sheets, was very much appreciated. And the air conditioning worked well. The somewhat weak link was the food at the two hotel restaurants. Though they both have spectacular views, the quality of food and the preparation was less than I had hoped for. There are very good restaurants nearby with better prepared food, similar views and excellent service. That said, I would happily return to the Hotel Jardin Savana.

the staff is welcoming and attentive to clients need - especially at the reception and the breakfast room.

I enjoyed the spacious room, and the hotel staff was excellent. I have two suggestions that would make the "Racine" a business hotel. The first would be improve the Wi-Fi system by adding some security to it, and add stability by perhaps updating the firmware on the router. This would be a very easy and valuable fix. The location of the hotel is perfect for business, and the rooms are outfitted nicely, but without Wi-Fi I could not work there, and this was disappointing. The second involves the air conditioning unit in my room. It seemed to work itself through different phases of noise, and one of them was so obnoxious that I was forced to use earplugs to sleep through the night. This is actually unacceptable as it leaves me open to risk from any manner of emergency. This being Africa I understand that maintenance on HVAC systems is hard to come by and will be delayed indefinitely, but that is the reason for the Room Comfort score being low.

The property is in a central area, walkable and near to restaurants, pastry shops and fruit stall. The staff was friendly, professional and helpful. The room was clean snd fresh. Would definitely stay here again.
