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.

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.

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 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 ....

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

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!

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.

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

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.

Can not say we disliked anything.

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.

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.

No complaints.

The staff was exceptional. The grounds were beautiful. The room was decorated very tastefully with attention to detail. The food was delicious and the presentation was top notch.

A suggestion would be to provide door covering that provide more privacy. I had to put a towel up to the door of the first bungalow I stayed in.

The bungalow was clean, quiet and the bed very comfortable. The room size was just right. I also enjoyed the artistic rustic features of the furnishings in the bungalows and around the property. The food was also very delicious. They posted options on a chalk board in from of the dining area. The outdoor dining room was quaint and comfortable. There are sea views from every angle outdoors. It was a peaceful experience.

This was our favorite accomodation in Senegal. The manager and staff are wonderful and its location couldn't be better. The beach is widely frequented by locals - they go there to exercise, for a swim, etc, specially in the afternoon. You get a much better flavor of what a local beach is like. I much better appreciate this type of place then those private, closed resorts where you don't get a chance to meet or talk to locals. We highly recomend Tama Lodge!

It was just perfect.

The place was beautifully set up on the beach. One can see the local kids practice foot ball and exercise on the beach. You would feel you were part of the world they live in. The land lady was so graceful and beautiful; there is a small library one can get books.

The breakfast is good but a little bit minimalist. The staff should give a list or inform the guests on the first day about the options they have even if it is extra, as for example an omolet. Our room could have some more light, to be easier form example to read at night.

The lodge location is something that allows the guest to immerse himself in the authentic African environment as it is deeply framed in the local environment (this part of the beach area is farway from the resorts), either by the layout of the space, by the decoration of the lodge (rooms included) or even the women that are seated with colorful clothes close to the lodge fences. A very quiet place to stay apart of the world for some time. Our special thanks to Animata on the restaurant/bar service always with a smile or a good suggestion and to Makoumba on the beach towels service, always very attentive to clean your towel when its necessary.

That we had to leave, because our holidays ended.

I stayed with a friend for 2 days in the lodge. The hospitality and support by the staff is amazing. The food is execellent and the view on the ocean and sundown is stunning. The Tama lodge is directly on the beach and there are locals around playing football or making sports. Even it is such a nice beach it is not crowed. We had a late fligth and could stay over the day at Tama and using the facilities.

...can’t think of anything. Everything was lovely.

The location: right on the beach, very peaceful, and close to the airport. The food: varied and delicious! The staff: so lovely and helpful. Bref, a perfect vacation.
