The Palm Beach Resort & Spa is celebrated for its inviting atmosphere, with a local-style design and a pleasant general ambiance that guests appreciate. Reviewers often commend the comfortable and modern rooms, despite some experiencing connectivity issues and cleaning hiccups. The staff's kindness and professionalism stand out, contributing to the hotel's reputation for good value.
While the range of amenities, including pools and beach access, is popular, availability of beach chairs sometimes falls short. The prime beachfront location is a highlight, offering easy access to nearby attractions.

2nd stay at Palm Beach (November 2024 and February 2025). positive points: Senegal! (5h30 flight, no jet lag, nice and francophone population, 25° more than in France = nothing equivalent in winter!)) - Good reception at the reception, decent and clean rooms, bedding OK, air conditioning ok, bathroom small but good shower, small balcony sea view, safe, fridge, TV with canal + sport and French channels .. -Beautiful beach, easy swimming, deckchairs and paillote in sufficient number, swimming pools OK.. -Gloria, FRAM representative always available and ready to solve your problems with a smile! negative points: -The food seemed to us to be down (it remains correct however) as if we had restricted the credits to the chef (reputed excellent) correct wines, light beer .. -At breakfast it is unacceptable, at this price level, to offer an "orange juice" which is only colored sweet water with a flavor evoking the sour candy! -The seminars, many and noisy... -Bars; not their adorable staff, but what is served (too sweet cocktails with diluted fruit juices, infamous local alcohol all brand "the old", in fact pure alcohol flavored gin whiskey rum or vodka .Only the Pastis is correct.. Internet and wifi totally inoperative and never repaired. -Small maintenance very cool (3 days to change a defective reader) Some tips: -Best rooms with balcony facing small pool on the left looking out to sea, ex:326 to 330, far from the bar and Teranga room where seminars organize their evenings Boom Boom -Okay you are all inclusive but it is Africa and the small staff earns between 150 and 180 € / month .. plan a small budget (ex 40 € for 2 weeks that you convert into tickets of 1000 and 2000 CFA, i.e. 1.5 € and 3 €) a small ticket to the waitress of the restaurant and you will have your tea in a den, your table with your favorite drink in an ice bucket lunch and evening! -You will meet regulars (rather old) who sometimes stay several weeks. Do not hesitate to start the conversation, the atmosphere is not snobbish at all... and you will learn a lot (how to go fishing, take a catamaran ride, find petanque partners etc...) We liked it....

We have been going to Senegal for 40 years, first time at Palm Beach, following the closure of the Almadies Club Med, very good; the closure of the Nianing area very good, then Baobab Horizon club good, but quality of food declining and swimming dangerous for people of a certain age (72 years old). Positive points: proximity to the center of Sally 400 m, magnificent beach after the installation of stone dikes to slow down marine erosion possibility of swimming in the lagoon thus created even for non-swimmers. Varied and good quality catering. FRAM representative Gloria very good, do not hesitate to use her services, the rest of the FRAM team is transparent. Negative points: some of the staff do not know what the word terranga means; dismal reception at reception, bars, restaurant La Paillotte, restaurant room worse than a cafeteria, noisy especially on weekends, fortunately there is a limited but quieter outdoor space. For the rooms we had a junior suite, not worth the price difference, the rooms with balcony are a bit small, we visited one for a possible stay. In conclusion, you like swimming in the sea, eating properly, go there with your eyes closed, otherwise move on.

Great stay. Staff who bend over backwards to please you. Listening, always smiling despite some "disrespectful" customers. Room: corresponds to the price that was paid, very comfortable mattress, a problem with the safe which was resolved 5 minutes after reporting it. The meals: there was something for all tastes for those who wanted to discover new flavors were served and those who wanted to stick with dishes they know had plenty to do. Entertainment: entertainer present the times we were at the hotel. Outside: 2 swimming pools, one large and one small, with the beach at the foot of the hotel, you couldn't do better!!!! The only downside was the animals at night but hey Fram has nothing to do with it!!!! I recommend it to everyone except people who don't want to immerse themselves in the country and who think they can afford to be disrespectful to the staff, whoever they may be!!!!

It is the most comfortable and maintained hotel that we were able to stay in during our 15-day tour in Senegal. This club was renovated a few years ago but already traces of humidity in the rooms, particularly in the bathroom without VMC. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. We were unlucky because we had air conditioning problems in ours. However, the friends with us had no problem with theirs. The swimming pools and green spaces are very well maintained. The staff is attentive and available. The big strong point of this club is the varied and very good restaurant. However, we point out a lack of deckchairs on the beach and swimming pool side compared to the capacities of the club hotel. The second black point is the fact that 75% of the clientele is regular and resides almost year-round in the hotel and that they have free passes and privileges that other vacationers cannot have even in an all-inclusive ( do not wait for their turn at the bar, deckchairs reserved for 6 hours by the staff, table reserved, participation in games, etc.). As this clientele is elderly, the entertainment is intended for them (music, quizzes, etc.) if you are under 50 we will not feel out of place. We do not recommend it if you like clubs that are dynamic and lively for a young clientele. Last area of improvement is the wifi which is mediocre throughout the establishment.

Clean hotel overall pleasant setting with direct access to the beach. Small downside we had booked twin rooms we had room with a double bed and an extra bed which was not comfortable after having made the remark at the reception, the person at the reception did not want to know anything. I had to call my travel agency in France who did what was necessary, after 2 nights spent in poor conditions we had rooms with 2 real beds. The cleaning of the rooms is done summarily, I just warn ladies, be careful of your husbands because the maids make indecent propositions to them. The meals were varied and a good general atmosphere Hotel close to small shops where you get harassed to buy. With a little luck you will see the monitor lizard wandering around the gardens. The hotel offers a wide choice of excursions.

Modern clean rooms, nice swimming pools , nice beach. WiFi not reliable food terrible example the French fries at breakfast are always cold, even immediately after refill from kitchen they taste like they are left over from previous day tasting of starch. No bar food in between meals. Rooms are normally quiet but some nights music kept me awake until 5am when it stopped. It’s a real shame this hotel could be a favourite but the food and WiFi spoiled my experience.

It was our 2nd long stay in 2024 and 2025. Last year I would have rated a 4.5 but this year 4 max. The concept evolved into 1/ senior residence 2/ corporate seminars (sometimes large and noisy groups). Otherwise it's fine but to flee if you are looking for calm and serenity. Seniors in residence reserve themselves deckchair permanently and therefore there is not much left for others. The SPA is very good. The large pool is sometimes heated but not always. The small pool is not very used because not practical. Great variety catering. The little paillote restaurant became an option for a fee this year.
