What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada explored the luxury side of Benin by staying at the Sofitel in Cotonou, which he described as the best hotel in the country. While he was impressed by the modern golden decor and high-tech amenities, he expressed disappointment over the $400 price tag not including breakfast or direct beach access. His most notable frustration was the hospitality industry's practice of tightly tucking blankets under the mattress, which he felt ruined the guest experience.
