Baobab Soleil

I loved this hotel. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it has a wonderful, African vibe. The food is excellent, and the pool & gardens are lovely. The furnishings are very simple, I don’t expect luxury from a small property in bush. If you need a place close the airport that is clean and quiet, I can recommend this spot. I would stay again.

beautiful place, comfortable, and friendly owner, always willing to help.

Helpful owner. Quiet. Good transfers from port and to airport

Brilliant staff who welcomed us and provided everything needed. Airport pick up got a bit muddled but otherwise a superb haven giving a wonderfully authentic experience. Not too much around but that was also the beauty of the place.

Beautiful grounds, pool.    Close to airport.   Excellent breakfast.   Friendly efficient staff.  Manager waited for late arrival from airport

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.

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.

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❤

Wonderful, peaceful hotel within easy driving distance of the Dakar airport. Great, friendly service by the French owner and staff and excellent meals.

Our stay was short and eventful.  We arrived late at night. The hotel offered transportation from the airport.  Omar was great! The location from the airport is convenient. Once we arrived, we learned there was no electricity at the moment,  therefore no AC in our room. We were traveling with our 3 kids and this was awful.  The heat was so uncomfortable we could not relax and sleep. Our 7 month old baby was just miserable.  About 2 hours later the electricity returned and it was much better. Except the air conditioning unit started leaking on one of the beds. We ended up having to move the bed so we could get some sleep. Morning came and we were happy to learn there was hot water in the shower. We got ready to go back to the airport and Bah informed us everything was ready for breakfast.  Now the breakfast experience was 5/5. The food was delicious,  well presented and prepared.  The staff ladies were amazing.  We were able to walk around the property and take in its beauty.  The Boabab tree near the restaurant was filled with nests and the busiest bird community I have ever witnessed. Stunning. The garden around the property was well maintained and very clean. The pool looked good as well, but we did not have time to get in. We left to the airport with Omar who once again was profesional and kind.

I enjoyed three nights here

A very pleasent stay

One magic day at Baobab Solei :)

The property was very peaceful. The staff was awesome. I did not speak any French but anything I needed the staff was able to provide. His free WiFi was a hit to me because I was able to use my google translator to communicate. The pool was nice and clean and the daily housekeeping was fabulous.He provided transportation to wherever I needed to go at a low surcharge price. I will be back to this property next year.

It was several years ago, there was a Lebaneese dinner in Reserve de Bandia. I wanted to stay that night around not to drive back to Dakar. I found this Boabab Soleil in the middle of Baobab trees only in front of Bandia about 2kms.
It is a quiet place, clean, service done by the owner and his wife. There is a swiming pool and around it you may have a nice time away from polution and noise.
