A fully-fledged torch carrier for West African history and culture, Benin showcases wonderful landscapes to the north and an enticing coastline and the capital city to the south. Venture into Parc National de la Pendjari and you’ll be able to observe some of the planet’s most endangered animals. The Northwest African cheetah, West African lions and buffalo are just a few of the species who wander through this conservation area spanning nearly 5,000 km². The heart of Benin’s historical core can be found in the former capital of Abomey. Built between the mid-17th and late 19th centuries, the nine Royal Palaces are well worth exploring. If you want to learn more, a nearby museum exhibits a number of relics from the era. Hotels can be found in most cities such as Porto-Novo, Abomey and Grand Popo.

The hotel is lovely and located close to a beautiful beach. The staff and the owner, Mr. Temple, are very kind and helpful. They were especially helpful with arranging taxis, which could be a bit challenging.

Located in Ouidah, 3.4 km from Ouidah Museum of History, RESIDENCE MGA HOTEL provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.
Guest review
Our stay at MGA Residence in Ouidah had its positives but also a few challenges. The rooms were spacious and very clean, though slightly dark due to limited natural light from smaller windows. Set within a mall complex, the property has a cozy feel, though the surrounding structure gives the plot a more enclosed atmosphere.
Dining at MGA Residence is a notable experience, as the hotel has been praised for its food. The bar and restaurant are the only outdoor seating areas available, offering a relaxing atmosphere, although we did encounter some differences in the menu expectations. For example, the "grilled fillet" arrived as meat sliced on skewers and cooked differently than anticipated. The fish, however, was fresh and well-prepared, a nice highlight for seafood lovers.
The breakfast setup is worth mentioning, as it’s included for only one person per room. The basic breakfast offering consists of small pieces of bread, jam, tea, and instant coffee—simple but sufficient. A key inconvenience we encountered was that the hotel did not accept credit card payments, as the machine was reportedly out for repairs. Fortunately, they accepted cash in U.S. dollars.
Finally, the staff was friendly and accommodating, eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Overall, I would recommend MGA Residence as a comfortable option in Ouidah.

Guest review
Superb beach resort in the best coastal area of Benin. I felt welcome there: the service was impeccable, polite and professional. Celine and Antoinine did a great job to feed me and made sure I was not too thirsty.
Unfortunately, I was there on the job and I could not enjoy the place as much as I wanted. But, again, there was nothing better than to arrive tired and sweaty and take the swimming short and jump into the ocean for an evening swim!
The rooms were nice, very functional and everything worked well.
