Everything , particularly the food.

“Very nice accomodation. Helpfull host. Good food.”

Warm welcome

“I have traveled a lot. This is one of my favourite places.”

Keur des Pecheurs was a home from home for me. There is great attention paid to general cleanliness of property. The staff are so incredibly friendly. Ivan and Khady are great hosts, did everything possible to make our stay easy, comfortable and memorable. From helping organizing excursions to airport transfers and fishing expeditions. The food is of a very good standard, fresh and delicious and the cocktails too!

“An exceptional place – full of heart, generosity, and beautiful energy”

This place is truly special, and I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to come and stay here. From the moment we arrived, the energy was calm, welcoming, and deeply peaceful. The location itself is incredibly serene, making it the perfect place to slow down and really experience Senegal. Ivan, the owner (Belgian), was remarkably friendly and genuine. He went out of his way to make sure we were always comfortable and well taken care of. Beyond that, he was a wonderful person to talk to about Senegalese culture — thoughtful, open, and clearly passionate about the place and its people. While the food on the menu was very good and there was a great selection of drinks, my absolute highlight was something far more meaningful: sharing Chebou Jën, the national dish, with the entire staff right on the beach. That moment was exceptional — communal, joyful, and deeply human. It was genuinely the tastiest Chebou Jën I’ve ever had, and the generosity was incredible. They made sure I had plenty of fish, and the delicious tamarind sauce. Even my girlfriend, who was initially a little hesitant, ended up loving it. Another beautiful moment was on the day of our departure, when a fantastic local musician played live music — a perfect, soulful way to say goodbye. What really stood out was the staff: playful, warm, endlessly kind. They laughed with us, took wonderful care of us, and even went out of their way to help me practise my French, turning it into something fun and memorable rather than intimidating. This is not just a place to stay — it’s a place with soul. Exceptional hospitality, generosity of spirit, and unforgettable vibes. I would absolutely return and recommend it without hesitation.

“Great place to relax by the beach”

Have been before and wanted to come back to have a few relaxing days by the sea. It's a lovely place to relax, no stress, nice clean rooms, super friendly staff, lots of places to sit or lay down by the beach, great drinks and food.. It's more like being in someone's house than a hotel. Bonus - there are dogs. The owner, Ivan, even helped me sort out my flight issues and arranged an extra night when my flight was cancelled.

“Unique and fun place - all the amenities of an all inclusive (massage, kayak, tours, meals) but in your own quiet slice”

Amazing, friendly vibe. It’s a small place so you get to know the other guests, staff and of course Ivan (and his many dogs!) very well. We loved this - Ivan could even maybe suggest group tours so guests can mingle more if they’d like. I am a vegan and Ivan went out of his way to help cater for me - he bought special ingredients for my meals which I was very grateful for! There were also kayaks and it was very easy to book tours through Ivan, such as to Sine Saloum Delta

Very comfortable rooms. Ivan was very supportive with recommending different activities around. Very pleasant stay and nice beach.

“Comfort, beach, sunsets”

Amazing place to stay for a while right on the beach. Our room was big and comfortable with a strong water flow even with warm water, so it's a superior accommodation in Africa. It's possible to swim in the ocean here (the beach around is dirty, of course, it is Senegal, but right in front of the stay they try to keep it clean). The staff is really really nice and the owner can arrange some interesting trips for you. And the food? So delicious fish, you have to taste it! :) Overall I can recommend this stay for all who want to get to know Africa through trips but still have the comfort available.

Ivan and his staff ensure you have all your needs met. The beach front is fabulous, a lovely homely feel and the food is five star. I would recommend anyone to visit here. Loved it so much we extended our stay.

“Fantastic location, right at the beach under the palm trees, with excellent food and service.”

We stayed in a comfortable and cozy hut. The beach and the palm trees were breath taking. The owner spoke many languages and was very caring. The breakfast was excellent with freshly baked eggs or pancakes and tasty juice and fruit. And the most important with real tasty coffee!!!

“Great stay at Ivan’s. Chill place, good food, good value for money given what’s offered in the area”
