We spent four nights in the Awale Plage and had a really relaxing time. We stayed in a standard bungalow, which was big enough for us. The rooms were clean, although we weren’t able to recognize that somebody clean our rooms during our stay. We could recognize that the owner take care of the hotel area because the staff clean...

Came here for a couple of days of recreation from a Niger job. It's a small beach resort that also organises meetings and conferences. Other than that, there is really nothing much to do: there is no real town or village, no markets, no watersports, no events, no things to see - just you and your family and friends/colleagues and...

Entering the garden of this hotel immediately makes you feel good. The personnel you meet also makes you feel welcome. The rooms are ok as long as you don't sleep in them with four persons, because the lofts are to hot since the airconditioning doesn't reach that part of the room. There is really good food and the pool is... More

This is a typical beach resort hotel with semi-detached bungalows in quite a nice setting with trees..The room design is very bad if you are sharing, because it is two storey and the air conditioning is freezing downstairs while the heat remains stifling upstairs. The beach looks attractive, but it is dangerous to swim. Service was very slow and not... More

Really great place to stay, if we had more time we may have better appreciated the beach location. But coming from No. Benin it was just nice. The food, bar and reception was great. Really a great place to stay. We had a family suite, with loft, it was comfortable.

The beach was at our doorstep and it was very very safe. We had a great 4 day stay. The pool was clean and there... More

I booked Awale Plage for 3 nights for me and my fiancee as I was adviced by locals that it is the best hotel in Grand Popo. Grand Popo is quite well accessible from Cotonou: we travelled 1,5 hours and paid 30 000 CFA for our rented car and the driver. We really loved having a bungalow a short stroll... More

It is one of the best hotel in the region, but you must remember that you are in Africa. The owner is a kind french man, really nice and reliable. The staff is serious and committed (but has its African times). Anyway they are serious and really reliable. It is a very safe place. Beach is nice, with a fashinating... More
