Hotel Mar Azul

Guinea-Bissau


Large if neglected rooms overlook the pool, gardens and riverfront. No hot water and electricity is intermittent. Nevertheless, it's a popular spot for people from Bissau on weekends (especially for those simply enjoying the restaurant and views), so you might want to make a reservation in advance.
