Côte d'Ivoire
Hotel with lovely rooms but free camping on offer too for overlanding trucks
Able to camp for free in the car park in exchange for using the restaurant and bar. Beautiful beach, lovely pool, great owner. very nice indeed.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Update since JB died :
Apparently you can't stay in your car anymore. Except maybe during the week. They allowed us to stay and we didn't pay the place, eating at the restaurant. No shower but toilets and water.
Still amazing but even better now that there's a big pool that was installed in December.
On a very sad note the wonderful JB died a few weeks ago & a fundraiser has been set up

Report Check-InWe arrived on Sunday (to hundreds of SUVs leaving to head back to Abidjan for the week). JB is a lovely guy (speaks English) and was very helpful showing us the best spot to park and were the outdoor showers were.
The beach is lovely and there is a large bar/restaurant area which we had beers in (330ml Flag:1000cfa). We had the beach to ourselves for two days and we're allowed to use the sun loungers and sun shades during the day with no charge. Definitely one of the nicest spots on this stretch of coast.
Report Check-InVery nice place. You can park here for free if you eat something at the restaurant (little expensive similar to Europe). It‘s a tidy tourist hotel. The beach is free of waste! Great!
Report Check-InLovely location, free parking and bought a great big meal, 7000 for a huge fish, enough for 2 meals. Great people. Worth the stop.
Report Check-InBeach front hotel with car park to camp in. Deserted on weekdays, relatively busy on weekends. There is a shower and toilets behind the restaurant, fast WiFi available in the restaurant only (on the other side of the road). Food and beers are quite expensive but the portions huge. Expect to pay 10 000 for a meal and a beer.
Report Check-InWe had our invitation-letter from here for our visa, so we came here for sure. The place is nice, the owner is very friendly and he speaks english ;-) The food at the restaurant is good, but expensive, but camping is for free. they have a toilet and a shower behind the restaurant. BUT - it is very very noisy here - at daytime it is terrible noisy because of the road and at night we had a very nasty group of young Lebanese .. they were screaming and shouting and they hoot their car horn every 5 minutes-- UNTIL 5 o´clock in the morning ! - and nowbody told them to be quiet. that was very annoying. The GPS- Dates are not wright, but i am not able to correct them. so if you arrive the target go on at the road until you reach a fork and then take the right way and go ahead, than you will reach the hotel.

Follow your nose, you'll find it.
Fantastic place, great food (large portions!) and worth it for beachfront. As advertised, just pay for restaurant, one meal per day for free camping on nice grass in the shade.
Report Check-InWonderful place, very friendly & welcoming, been returning for over 10 years. Brilliant R&R for overlanders.
