Le Kibalaou

Hammocks on the beach, very close to the sea, great Thieboudienne

Property/rooms need a bit of TLC

I stayed at small bungalow on the side of the other bungalow so it was undisturbed and had a view of the yard. Bed was comfortable, the room small but nice, I enjoyed my stay there. The restaurant was a bit from bungalow on the small hill with view over the ocean and it was nice sitting there. Breakfast was continental but with omelette or only fried egg. They served even lunches and dinners and all was very tasty and much so I often not managed to eat everything. I can recommend warm this place a little far from town Cap Skirring so it was quit there and only nature around.

It is necessary to use repellent because there are some big flies that bite and you get swelling afterwards which is extremely unpleasant. But I was helped by staff with an oil that relieved it. So the next time I go there, I will absolutely have repellent.

I stayed here for three nights on my own, and it was one of the most relaxing experiences I have ever had. The family who runs the hotel is so kind and accommodating, you get goosebumps from how much love goes into their service. They offer lunch and dinner for an extra charge in addition to the breakfast which comes with your accommodation. Come with a good book, take Long Beach walks, and let the world melt away.

There is nothing not to like. But you should know that the rooms can be a bit toasty - it does not cool down much at night in the warm months. And it would be prudent to bring a lot of cash, as there is no where to take out cash and the family only accepts cash or a western union transfer (they can then pick up the cash this way).

If you'd like to stay in a place with the kindest humans, delicious (plentiful) food, calm healing energy, comfy beds, cleanliness that make the room smell divine all for a more than exceptionally reasonable price. Stay here. The fan was more than enough air conditioning, the sheets and mosquito net felt brand new, spending hours talking with the people here was so special. I didn't want to leave! I can't say anything about this place apart from I loved it. The beds on the beach, the hammocks, speedy WiFi in the main areas. They lent me a yoga mat, were patient with my limited French, showed me how they fished - they offered to take me to town but I just loved resting here. As a woman travelling on her own I felt so thankful to how kind and generous this place is and very very lucky to stay.

Wonderful place to get away from it all! Lovely virgin beach, simple but comfortable room, wonderful staff. I would definitely return.

It's a bit far away, they need to take you in a pickup truck from where the taxi leaves you... but the distant location means it's very quiet and peaceful!
