DO NOT BOOK HOTEL IS CLOSED
The hotel was closed when we arrived 6/19/2019. They informed us that it has been closed from 6/7/2019. It was 10PM and we didn't know where else to go. Thankfully we had a patient taxi driver who took us to another hotel.

The stay was rather OK despite the lack of air conditioning (due to the age -37years- of the hotel). The check out was different. I ended up bearing another name and was asked to pay for my stay. I was presented an invoice for 202 000 XOF. The person pretended that "hotels.com" was not paying them and that "hotels.com" would reimburse me afterwards! This has ruined the rather positive opinion I had of the place. I eventually paid only for the room service I used after a rude fight with the hotel personnel.

Poor quality of room
My colleague and I stayed at the Benin Marina and on the outside it looks great, however once in my room, I found an extension lead with a myriad of cabling around it, the extension lead did not work, The wall socket did not work and there was no internet in the room. Eventually they gave me an alternative room, as if doing me a favour. Again there was an extension lead but at least this one worked, however I again had to go to reception to ask why there was no internet. to there credit they did send someone up who got it fixed,,,there had been a problem with the cabling. For a supposed upmarket hotel you would expect them to check the rooms that they are going to put guests into. We ordered a beer at our table in the bar but when the bill came the beer was more than the price on the drinks menu, when we queried this we were told that the prices had gone up several weeks earlier but that they had not amended the drinks menu. Again it was not what one would expect from a hotel of this stature. Overall I was disappointed with the rooms, the service in the bar and the general demeanor of the staff who seem to think that guests are there to keep them in a job.

Hotel served my purpose and I would most likely st
Make sure you reserve online ahead of time, big price difference from paying at check-in. Hotel needs some major work, nice location, nice outdoor opportunities to include golf, swimming and tennis. Interior of hotel "dated" and badly in need up upgrade. Rooms were at best satisfactory, get a room with a sea view to allow for a breeze. AC's not working well, has the potential to be a first class wonderful hotel but not there yet. Yes, I would go back again.

Hotel itself was nice enough, but staff reluctant to help at all, including a medical incident, lost property during checkout, or obvious misunderstanding with the bill. Concierge were better than reception
