First visit to Gambia and although we realised the star rating system was not on par with the UK it fell well below on many aspects. In its defence the manager has only recently taken this hotel over and things were improving even during our one week stay. The staff are lovely and the location is as good as the photos suggest. The description of a 'wellness' centre is not terribly accurate. It needs to sort out the water system as most days we had to report that we had no water and they then did something (possibly diverted it from elsewhere) before we could have a shower. There are no safety deposit boxes, very basic breakfast (instant coffee; I'm afraid I love my fresh!), no welcome information, no menus and so the restaurant is currently empty at night times. I have indicated I wouldn't recommend it as it stands, but if the manager does everything he has said he is going to then it is a lovely idyllic place to relax.
It's not a five star but it's trying to get there staff as of the rest of Gambia polite and helpful a bit of hassle around the hotel and beach for you to buy or use the locals for tours ect there always polite never felt angry with them but they do ware you down after a while
Special mention to Samba who made some beautiful food during our stay and enjoyed his company over a beer when he was finished in kitchen Ebu also very helpful and again service and his manor a great asset to the hotel
The rooms are newly built and were really comfortable and spacious. The resort is a lovely place to relax around the pool. A great place just to chill out and recharge.
Om du förväntar dig ett femstjärnigt boende så kommer du att bli besviken. Om du däremot söker ett lugnt hotell i medelklassen så kan detta vara något för dig.
Härligt med ett extra vardagsrum. Både elen och vattnet var dock osäkert och vi fick ringa receptionen ett antal gånger som dock fixade det snabbt. Man får inte glömma att detta är Gambia och inte Europa.
Om du säger till i förväg så kan du få gambiansk mat tillagad av hotellets kock. Mycket bättre än deras ordinarie meny.
Underbart nära till havet. Om du inte vill bli approcherad hela tiden när du går så försök promenera så nära vattnet som möjligt.
