A: 1.It alters between short heavy downpours and longer rainy spells 2. Like most resorts in Senegal quite nice , Hotels are ok, food is good, only the locals are a bit pestering, sea was quite polluted 3. Have not stayed there but here is a comment of a visitor in english : http://www.tripadvisor.de/ShowUserReviews-g488113-d604324-r15057883-Hotel_Espadon_de_Saly-Mbour_La_Petite_Cote.html 4. Generally , the locals are quite some pests and do not take NO for an answer. Apart from the harassment it was safe enough though 5. Local food is fabulous, I recommend Tjoff Thiboudienne, a type of tuna stuffed with spices, braised and served with a rice platter. The local beer- Flag - is quite good, the wine is common fare but drinkable
