“Hidden gem at the end of the lagoon - tranquil but still access to lots of activities around Somone”

If you are looking for a real natural experience and a unique and tranquil place to stay, then this place is perfect! Really off side from noise and lots of people, beautiful nature around (Baobabs, river at the end of the lagoon, birds). The main house with the restaurant has beautiful places to sit inside and outside; the pool is not deep and with salty water, but a nice refreshment. Meals were very good, especially lunch and dinner (dish is suggested and discussed, freshly cooked). The room was nicely decorated and very cosy and clean, some steps away from the main house. Staff (Celine from far and Ibou on site) was very helpful and kind, helped with all activities we wanted to do (arrangement of transport to the airport and to Somone, reservation for a pirogue tour through the lagoon and a horse ride along the beach). Highly recommendable!

“A great place to get away from the city life, and be with nature!!”

A very relaxed chilled place within nature. Nice size rooms, good facilities, the communal area was nice and spacious with lots of different places to chill!! Great food and Ibou was a fantastic front of house, sorting our taxis, meals etc.....

“Surprising service and comfort in spectacular place for a budget price”

Location Value for money Motivated owners Attention for nature

Our room was simply breathtaking, and the staff went out of their way to make transportation and food as easy as possible

We stayed for a week and it was wonderful, we loved the beautiful nature with an amazing amount of birds and the great view from the restaurant, rooms were nice, very friendly staff and the food was good. We worked at night in La Somone and it was great fun to drive in the very early morning back to the lodge. The sound of hyena's and jackals far away at night I will never forget, such an amazing location! I hope we can return one day.

“for less picky travellers who want to go off road and hear the nature!”

i liked to be in the nature, no accomodation or roads around, very beautiful surroudings, very well maintained gardens. I really liked the staff which was very supportive and on point at any time. I appreciated the flexibility I was given regardin my late departure.

We enjoyed our stay at the Dalaal Diam Lodge. The facilities are nice, with two swimming pools with a very nice view. Great place to relax and disconnect.

“Peaceful Eco Lodge”

I really enjoyed to stay at Dalaal Diam. I love the concept of Eco Lodge and the story of Celine. I was worried at first as I read some reviews on water and electricity but we had no problem at all. There was always water when needed, and never had problem with electricity either. The atmosphere was very relaxed and quiet. I loved the location and the walk between the room and the main restaurant. Will be back soon.

“Original stay in a beautiful lodge in the middle of the nature”

Celine built a beautiful lodge, in the middle of the nature and in total harmony with it. Facilities are very nice, even though some could be slightly renovated (sliding doors), but it has a ton of charm whatsoever and I would highly recommend anyone who wants to disconnect to stay there. We did a hike to Guéréo from the lodge, along the lagoon - then crossed the water at Chez Rasta and then walked back to the lodge at sunset, on the other side of the lagoon from Somone, that was gorgeous. Also, the food was very very good and you could tell it was from local products - I liked the fact that you don't have an exhaustive list of options but rather Celine asks you in the morning or the evening before to check that you're good with what she's found at the market. Desserts were so good as well. Also, a lot of activities (pool, tennis, badminton, etc.) are provided, as well as board games and lots of comic books! Overall, communicating with Céline was very easy and efficient, which has made our stay even more appreciated. Merci !
