The verdict
Mixed · 58Mixed but leaning fine: commenters praise beaches, markets, and low costs, while warning about slow internet, a costly SIM, and heavy police checks.
- low cost of living
- beaches and calm coast
- friendly welcome
- local markets
- warm national pride
- slow internet
- expensive SIM cards
- police checks and overreach
- weak government
- misleading cost claims
- Lomé can be very cheap if you live locally
- Internet reliability is the main worry for remote work
- Beachfront areas feel polished, but they are not typical
- Police stops and photo checks bother some visitors
- Content is thin, so this reflects only a handful of voices
