The
last
time
I
was
in
Africa
was
pre
covid
4
years
ago,
I
was
trying
to
decide
between
Boma,
or
Pullman
but
decided
on
Seku
Bi,
a
boutique
owned
by
a
woman
from
my
alma
mater.
Style.
Sea
facing
&
beautiful
space
combining
two
French
Colonial
villas
Setting.
A
sanctuary
and
hideaway
facing
the
Atlantic,
in
the
most
westerly
City
in
Africa,
in
downtown
Dakar
on
the
Petite
Corniche,
only
2
blocks
from
Place
de
l’independence,
1
minute
walk
down
to
Teranga
Beach
Club
(part
of
the
Pullman
Hotel
next
door),
4
min
walk
to
the
best
seafood
restaurant
in
town
(le
lagon
1)
and
a
short
walk
to
the
excellent
La
Fourchette
(my
fav)
Explore.
Many
restaurants,
shops,
art
galleries
around
including
the
super
cool
agence
TRAMES.
Rooms.
Was
in
room
5
with
a
small
balcony
facing
the
sea,
although
I
could
barely
see
the
ocean,
there
is
something
just
as
soothing
and
comforting
to
see
only
the
leaves
of
the
thriving
palm
tree,
especially
since
the
weather
was
perfect
and
I
never
had
to
close
the
balcony
doors
!
(Room
6
with
a
huge
balcony
is
even
nicer,
but
it
wasn’t
available).
Lovely
handcrafted
furniture
and
decor
everywhere.
Every
morning
I
woke
up
to
a
dawn
chorus
of
birds
and
parrots
outside.
@
the
hotel.
private
oasis,
lounger
lined
garden,
enviably
stylish
living
room
upstairs
from
Bantu
Wax
shop.
Fantastic
staff,
François
gave
me
another
room
to
chill
in
since
I
had
a
11
pm
flight
and
needed
a
late
check
out.
Food
&
drinks.
I
loved
starting
my
morning
with
a
huge
glass
of
freshly
squeezed
juice,
avocado
peperoncino
toast
with
poached
eggs,
excellent
selection
of
tea.
Their
Italian
restaurant
was
one
of
the
best
in
town
as
well.
Prices.
€1800
for
6
nights
Rating.
4/5
SB
should
upgrade
the
payment
system.
I
wired
€900
deposit
in
August.
After
4
nights
(on
xmas
eve)
1
of
the
staff
I
corresponded
with
said
SB
has
not
received
my
deposit
&
asked
if
I
have
evidence.
I
was
flabbergasted,
especially
after
multiple
emails
between
8/25
&
9/5
when
SB
finally
confirmed
receipt.
While
checking
out,
I
showed
another
staff
his
email
(re:
deposit
received)
+
bank
screenshot
showing
the
deduction,
but
was
still
asked
to
send
the
evidence
when
I
can.
I
also
expected
to
pay
the
rest
by
card
but
paid
cash.
Was
surprised
as
most
of
the
upscale
Dakar
restaurants/hotels
accept
visa
(not
AE).
