A Little Gem
I truly enjoyed my stay at the Pelican. It is kind of hidden and quiet. The rooms are not fitted with a fridge or kettle but there was one right outside our room and a full kitchen w/fridge for community use. Kitchen area was always clean. The WiFi was surprisingly fast. The hand held shower head was a bit of a hassle and we had a bit of a "moment" with the cleaner using our adapter to charge his mobile phone...inside our room. We laughed it off and I made sure the adapters were well tucked away just in case. The hotel is also in a great location. About 15-20 mins walk to the beach and one one of the main junctions so there's no need to pay for a town trip (private taxi) to get there unless you're traveling from with lots of bags. An 8-8 (shared taxi) will drop you off right in front of the hotel for 7-8 dalasis. (The price depends on the current price of fuel.) Just ask to go to Bakau from Traffic Light. Unfortunately if you are white or otherwise presumed to be a tourist, drivers may refuse to take you for the local price. Don't be discouraged though because a willing driver will come along.

Assistance notable de la part du personnel de la relation client. Service cordial et professionnel, une équipe en qui ont peu se référer et avoir confiance. Singularité de cette résidence par des touches décoratives de bon goût.

Hotel ligt aan een doorgaande geasfalteerde weg die richting Bakau gaat. Hotel zelf ligt niet dichtbij het strand. Maar taxi is niet duur.

Olipa pettymys
Ensinnäkin oven lukko ei toiminut, se vaihdettiin 2x uuteen lukkoon ennenkuin toimi ( lukkorunko ja kahva aina vaihdettiin mutta ei ovenkarmis olevaa vastakappaletta) näin elettiin ensimmäinen viikko lukko reistaillen..yhden kerran siivooja oli unohtunut lukita oven. Sängyn patjan päällys riekaleine siitä roikkui iso kankaanpala jalkapäädyssä ja osui ensimmäisenä silmään kun astui ovesta sisään. Molemmat moskitoverhot rikki ja nekin vaihdettiin vasta neljäntenä päivänä, joka ilta sprayattiin koko huone ennen nukkumaan menoa mutta kuitenkin niitä inisijöitä oli 2-4 joka aamu mh/wc -》tuloksena minulla on noin 50 puremaa(käytin kyllä offia) joista osa valitettavasti tulehtui niin pahaksi jotta jouduin hakemaan antibiootti kuurin, vahvat antihistamiinit ja rasvat 50e. Yövartijat/tai mitä lie nuoria poikia nukkui 4-5 yönä asiakkaille tarkoitetussa oleskelutilassa Käyn usein öisin tupakalla niin kiva ensimmäisellä kerralla kun menin yöpuvussa ulos niin siinä nukkuu vieras mies/poika Valtiin asiasta 3x. Vasta kolmannen valituksen jälkeen loppui yövieraat sohvalta. Yhtenä yönä nukkujat vaihtui.. Pihassa oli autoille pysäköintipaikka ja portti pidettiin kiinni Ohjeeksi saimme että tööttää niin avaamme. Mutta valitettavasti tämäkään ei aina toiminut varsinkin iltaisin.. muutaman kerran myös aamulla lähtiessä avasimme itse portin. Työn tekijät ok, muutaman englannin taito heikko tai eivät osanneet lainkaan. Ainut oikein positiivinen asia oli siisteys.
