Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The Rhino is finished. Very depressive atmosphere, the whole resort needs a massive change, what’s overdue for probably ten years. The rooms only have windows in the front door, that gives you daylight for a little part of the room. The other 2/3 is always dark. If you open the curtain everyone can watch you in the room. I had a bone in the swimming pool, the pools are filthy. The same with the sun beds, dirty-full of marks and sweat. The staff walks around like they don’t want to be there. You barely get a hello from the guys at the reception. There was nothing positive. The atmosphere was spuky. Rhino is finished, maybe a 3 star hotel.

My bed had both live and dead bugs in it at check. I asked to have new bedding put on the bed and hotel staff refused. I was told that the bugs were coming from the thatched roof ceiling. Bathroom fixtures were old and some broken like the paper towel holder. Expensive and not with the money. Keys did not work after one days stay and a staff member very easily broke into the room with a screw driver making us feel very unsafe about the security of the room.

What a big disappointment it was!!! I go to Saly twice a year. We usually stay at Royam Hotel. This time we decided to give Rhino a chance because their website description of the hotel is very appealing. For instance I wanted to take advantage of the hot tub they advertised but actually do not have. The worst part is that I got food poisoning after eating their breakfast, especially the scrambled eggs which were very wet. On Sunday I waited for over 15 minutes for a cup and a mug in order to pour some coffee and some orange juice. I eventually gave up on the orange juice. I was not the only one. Besides they are very expensive.

un 5 étoiles qui a perdu son standing

Bel endroit, belle chambre, mais manque cruellement d’entretien. Le poids des ans a fait son œuvre… Par exemple, la salle de sport est en très mauvais état, avec du matériel quasi hors d’usage. Le service de chambre est bon, sauf pour le mini-bar, qui n’a jamais été approvisionné du début jusqu’à la fin du séjour. À l’accueil, c’est le chaud et le froid : parfois, le personnel est agréable et souriant, et d’autres fois, on a l’impression de passer la porte d’une prison. C’est dommage, car il ne manque pas grand-chose pour que cet établissement 5 étoiles retrouve son standing.
