With its colonial feel, this charming hotel features plenty of wood panelling. It's tastefully decorated with local photographs and masks. Rooms are comfortable and there's a lounge, a bar, a library and a terrace. Across the road on the lagoon is the large restaurant on stilts over the water. Dinner is CFA15,000.

The hotel has seven rooms, with a separate annex a few doors away containing four cheaper options (d CFA26,000).

The hotel offers transfers from Port-Gentil (return for eight people CFA300,000), and a number of excursions on and around the lagoon.
