Ponta Anchaca

The resort is fantastic. For 120 euros per night I enjoyed full board here. The food (breakfast with croissants and fruit, lunch and dinner with 3 courses each) is excellent. This is certainly a beneficial side effect of the fact that the accommodation is aimed at a French audience. The whole trip was actually supposed to be a health-conscious active holiday for me, but I had to postpone burning off calories until after I returned to Germany 😂 The complex is very attractive and spacious with many cozy spots on and above the water. I had a bungalow with a lake terrace all to myself. The owner Solange keeps the resort running. With high energy, she is always on duty everywhere. She is a strong manager who fits in very well with the matriarchal social structures on the Bíjagos archipelago. She has 90 employees, to whom and their families she offers great income and advancement opportunities in an environment of absolute poverty. Everyone is multilingual in Creole, Portuguese, French and the respective Bijago dialect. To keep the company running, Solange also maintains close relationships with the tribes on Rubane and the neighboring Canhabaque, where she also runs a resort. In all the hustle and bustle, the information beforehand fell by the wayside. I would have liked a little clearer communication beforehand (e.g. about the departure time of the speedboat). But that's maybe the German in me. A guest brochure with the resort's numerous offers would also be helpful on site. But you'll find out anyway. If there's any problem, Solange solves it in no time. Satisfaction guaranteed! Another great thing is the option of paying the bill by bank transfer to Solange's French account, so there are no fees for foreign payments like with a credit card. The worst thing about a trip to Ponta Anchaca is the time afterwards, when you're brought back from paradise to the harsh reality...

An hour and a half from the port of Bissau. A pleasant sea voyage with a beautiful view of the country's many islands. A very pleasant arrival. . A warm welcome around the bar. A very beautiful pontoon where you can have a drink and relax. A table with succulent dishes. Very eco-friendly bungalows and clean, unpolluted air. The very friendly owner who created this magnificent hotel at the age of barely 18 is present everywhere and watches over her guests wonderfully. Very attentive. Thank you very much for helping us make our stay magical.

lovely place. I am a lover of Spartan trips to rather solitary places, but after a beautiful tour in Senegal I landed in this paradise of the Bjagos islands. We went on excursions to nearby islands but the stay in PONTA ANCHANA was healthy. I recommend it. Trip taken before the infamous Covid I marked April 2022 because there was no possibility of an earlier date.

The hotel offers very spacious and comfortable bungalows with air conditioning. The beach is very large, even with the hotel full there are no crowds of people. The food is very good, with a variety of fish and meat. Good for fishing, boating on the nearby islands, watching turtles hatching... in short, a pleasant place to relax and enjoy a cold drink. The staff is friendly and attentive. I recommend that you exexert yourself.
