    Perhaps they could improve the spa - there's so much potential

    Amazing facilities, next to the ocean, with a beautiful view of the beach. Very nice swimming pools, private and common

    Ok breakfast. Standard hotel fare. Clean room and comfy bed. Good drinks but food is hit and miss. Would suggest the seafood platter to share.

    I did not like the fact that the bed sheets had stains on it, and the room had cockroach in it. Would prefer more variety at breakfast! More fruit, that is fresh.

    We liked the fact that there was football available to watch. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the place is beautiful. Lovely beach connecting to watch the sunset and dip your feet in the ocean.

    Good and friendly stay
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Single Room

    The rooms are average in terms of decoration...rather minimalist. The TV only has a few channels (CNN, BBC, TV5...and some movie channels from Saudi Arabia... ). The AC only works with the room key in the slot, so had to request an additional key to ensure that the room was always cool when entering. Recommend giving a heads up to the hotel so that they make sure the room is cooled before you checking, especially if you are planing on a late check in at night.

    The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel has a beautiful situation overlooking the ocean with the private pools for the lower rooms. The main pool is nice and the direct access to the beach is definitely of great value.

    A bit of a smell from the drains in the bathroom during the daytime. A great variety of food ( fruit and desserts) but not tending to the palette of African travellers. Where was the famous Gambian jollof? Some of the hot food was over salted. Consitency in staff hospitality. Some of the chefs were aloof

    Layout, cleanliness and proximity to the beach

    Flies everywhere. I could hardly have breakfast without flies in and around my food. Also the hotel is very strict on guests. The receptionists embarassed me when I walked in with a friend and asked me to pay for double occupancy right in front of everyone. They need some experience. Also I had no water in my room on the first day. Also a few cockroaches in my room.

    Lovely hotel. Pool right infront of your room is amazing. Also not busy during summer months. I didnt try the food as I preferred to eat at Senegambia which is just 2km away. I will stay here next time in Gambia. Hopefully the staff is more welcoming. The ladies are nice but the guys are not.

    The food was of a good standard, but the menu could have been rotated on a weekly basis as it was the same while we were there. Maybe there could have been some entertainment as there was none.

    Good location right on the beach, rooms were cleaned every day and fresh water and towels provided. Very relaxing and quiet, staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Lots of security although I didn't think is was necessary as the people are very friendly there. Room was a good size, if you want sun all day on your terrace pick blocks 1-3, we had a swim up room on block 3. Exchange bureau on site.

    the water in the pools is very cold. unfortunately our room was not cleaned during our stay.

    the property is in a very good location with easy access to restaurants, bars and shops. the beach just in front of the resort is clean and well kept and offers sun loungers as well as beach bars and vendors. the rooms with swim up pools are a really nice feature. the garden area is also very nice and very well maintained.

    There’s a lot of bugs that got inside the room of all sizes. Facility needs to work on sealing doors, screen doors, and windows shut. There needs to be more breakfast options, was mainly eating the same thing every morning.

    Close to the beach, had a private pool, was able to watch Netflix on tv, great food.
