“True hidden gem”
Although it is a bit out of town and takes a good 20-25 minutes to get there, the location in the lagoon was superb and makes for a fantastic stay in an unusual stay. The cabins are rustic, but for the price they are more than acceptable. Restaurant seafood is really good! A truly hidden gem.

“My stay was amazing”
It was a breathe of fresh air. The food was really nice, I didn’t think my palate would be that adventurous. The staff were very hospitable, the language barrier wasn’t much of an issue. Overall I enjoyed the serene atmosphere.

“Good location, wouldn't stay too long”
The location is incredible: exactly like the pictures. Super serene and quiet. It is easy to find using google maps, even though I would advise on adding signs outside. The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was ok..

“Beautiful spot”
Excellent location in a natural paradise. The town is close by but no noise is heard around the compound other than the waving of the lake's water. Staff was very helpful and food was just great. Accommodation is rustic but that's what one comes here for at the end of the day. Easy transportation from Ouidah.
