Auberge Victor's Place

Benin


Victor's Place boasts a spiffing beach frontage. Pitch your tent on the grassy plot or choose one of the three slightly threadbare bungalows. The real draws are the cool atmosphere and the wicked cocktails prepared by Victor, a friendly Rasta. You can hire a tent if you don't have your own. Overall, it's very simple, but there's plenty of heart.
