Riviera Ramatou Plage is one of the oldest beachfront hotels along Boulevard du Mono in Lomé. The hotel can be described as an oasis within the city garden, hence a resort type of place different from the capital's business zones. Built probably during the late '70s or early '80s, it has that distinct retro "faded glory" charm which makes it more attractive to laid-back travelers than uptight modern luxury seekers. This is Riviera! A top expatriate hangout and preferred location for quiet weekend business tourists plus families who must have their swimming pool and sighting access to the ocean all at once; no competition with any shiny new high-rises on modern amenities but yes- firmly nostalgic hospitality lawn scene big green coconut palms!

Key Takeaways - Hotel Riviera Ramatou Plage

  • ✓ Lovely setting of tropical gardens, beachfront. Good spot to chill out.
  • ✓ Big focus on the swimming pool. Large, clean well kept inside area and outside areas with loungers around the pool- perfect place to get cool in Togolese heat.
  • ✓ Supposedly good security for this part of town. Guarded gates and entry plus layout that feels separate from street.
  • ✓ The food here is also recommended. Grilled seafood and local Togolese dishes mostly served outdoors under the trees.
  • ✓ A few rooms have balconies with real ocean views-from where guests can listen to the Atlantic pounding on the beach as they fall asleep.
  • × This place is old. Some of the furniture in the rooms appears worn,
  • × The problem of maintenance emanates from the highly corrosive sea air. You will notice rusty fittings and paint coming off a musty smell in the rooms.
  • × Described more often as pole pole (slow) service at the restaurant and bar, be prepared to exercise your patience because it takes quite long for meals to be delivered.

Comprehensive Guide - Hotel Riviera Ramatou Plage

  • Cost Effectiveness Fair value; primarily pay for the pool and beachfront location, not much in the rooms.
  • Service Experience Laid back and friendly, not exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to efficiency. Polite staff working their way through “island time.”
  • Location Superb stretch of sand out front; has its cake and eats it too by being on the water but near the heart of town.
  • Neighborhood Tropical and breezy; sound of waves with rustling palm trees set a very calming holiday mood.
  • Room Cleanliness Mixed; public areas and the pool are well maintained but rooms could get a bit musty or damp because it is an old building.
  • Breakfast Tasty local cuisine; grilled captain fish and prawns are the main highlights though the breakfast buffet is quite standard.
