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.

My spouse and I had a short belated honeymoon from Dec 1st at Awale. I needed a resort that would be inexpensive, be secure and have fantastic food. The room was great, the enviroment serene. 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

I stayed here on my second trip to Grand Popo with a group of students studying abroad. There are a range of rooms, from small cottages with two stories (upper one being a loft) to more basic rooms with a pair of double beds. My friends who stayed in the cottages were initially thrilled, but had several problems with water... More

The best part was the fishing village near the resort, watching them go out in the morning and come back in the afternoon. The food was good. The electricity went out both nights but they had lanterns readily available.

We, four friends, spent four nights in the hotel Awale Plage. The hotel itself is very nice with a fantastic garden, a beautiful beach and a refreshing and clean pool. The location is a little bit outside of the center of Grand Popo (about 2 km), but you can use the zems to go to the major restaurants. The food... More

It was like an oasis in the middle of the poorness. Since we were working the whole week at a hospitalship and were around so many sad things, it was so good to have at least a few days to forget about the poorness and sickness.
