Quiet and clean

The rooms could do with some redecoration and the hot water was hit and miss.

Rainbow has everything that you need. Great location at the beach front, restaurant, bar and craft Market on site Friendly and helpful staff. Great value for money. The busiest spot on Paradise beach.

There was quite a lot of rubbish on the beach and the sea water was a bit muddy/dirty. There were ants in the sand. The wifi was very unstable and a bit slow when available. Many staff members spoke English quite poorly. The water pressure in the shower in the room was very low. There was no AC included in the price in the budget double room, just a fan. The mosquito nets in the windows of the room were not intact, although there was an intact mosquito net around the double bed.

The location right on a rather quiet beach and the presence of deckchairs on the beach that were free of charge was the best part of the stay. Fewer annoying beach vendors on this beach than in most beaches in The Gambia and Senegal.

The rooms didn't have any lockable safes and the windows looked like they'd be easy to break in to. There was no running water in our rooms some of the mornings, but I don't know if I had any accommodation anywhere in Gambia that didn't have plumbing problems. Also, while most of the staff was excellent, the daytime security guy (Jawal?) was trying too hard to be too friendly. As a young woman, I was already dealing with a lot of unwanted male attention, and you'd think the security guards would help keep me safe, but the security guard kept trying to pressure me repeatedly to take gifts from him, even after I made it clear I was not interested. Who's supposed to keep me safe from creeps when the security guy is being a creep? I hope they can hire someone better for the job, because otherwise it was a great place to stay.

All of the staff, save for one, were welcoming and helpful and wonderful. The rooms were tucked away and quiet, especially on the weekdays (there were fun, loud parties happening until late at neighboring properties on the weekend). They were clean and equipped with mosquito nets, soap, and hot water in the evenings. Also, watching the fishermen and watching the wrestling on Sunday were amazing experiences. The food was delicious and affordable, and the beach view and many available beach lounging chairs made it a very relaxing place to be.

Ac in the room wasnt working. Asked about it and were told that you need to pay extra for ac. We manage without with the standing fan, but bit dissapointed that matter.

We were staying 2 nights for weekend getaway. Very nice place, staff was very helpful. Food was good and quite reasonable priced. Enjoyed our weekend and surely will come back

the ac was extra which is not mentioned well on their booking site, the restaurant wasn’t the best and meal portions were quite small knowing what they usually are like in the gambia (would 1000% recommend salim’s cafe for food!!), hope the staff would clean out the beach out of the plastic at least every now and then, breakfast deal for 300D was ridiculously small portion (again knowing what the portions are in the gambia)

central location, somewhat private beach, friendly staff, a few wifis around the property, some of the rooms quite big and roomy

One of the best locations in Sanyang City Gambia. Direct access to beach areas and many local restaurants available. Very good for budget travel

I had a family emergency back home ( stroke ) so internet was important but receiving information was not possible as the WiFi is sporadic or nonexistent,

The usual friendly staff and location was good for my purpose

There is a Chinese fishmeal factory nearby. When there is a delivery of fish, thick smoke soon comes out of the factory, the air stinks, and production waste is released into the water. They catch several tons of fish every few days. Sometimes hundreds of dead fish are thrown into the ocean. Huge environmental devastation and loss for the area and its inhabitants. I feel very sorry for them. Fishermen have poor catches, tourism suffers, and residents endure periodic stench and pollution. I know the locals are trying to fight back. A few years ago they tried to burn down the factory. Many people were arrested. The Chinese factory is still operating - without filters, sewage treatment plants. The robbery economy continues.

Hotel right on the beach. In the morning you eat breakfast looking at the ocean waves. Simple but clean rooms. Excellent food in the restaurant - fish and seafood outstanding. On Sunday you can watch traditional Gambian wrestling. Very helpful and nice service.

Since the resort is kept so clean, I was suprised that the beach is not. It is not that bad though and it's the global circonstances result.   Being so close to the fish factory can be a bummer too, for some people, when the wind is blowing on the wrong side. It doesn't happen often so this is not a reason to overlook all the positive aspect of the place.

I liked that the hotel is directly on the beach and there is no unsolicited attention present on it.  We didn't see other resort so close to the ocean in the area, which is a very good value for the money. The staff is very friendly, helpful and available.  We felt important to them.  The room and resort area is kept very clean.   Improvements are made every day without causing trouble to the customers. The proximity of the fishing village provides visual entertainment without disturbing the peace.  Very friendly (and quiet) people there too.

Room has no security, you can lock the door but there are about 2 or three windows that just slide open, no locking on them. There are security people who do walk about.

Good English breakfast for 350 dalassi, right on the beach, happy staff, long beach, watch the boats going out and coming in with their catch. Good size room with hot water shower. Cheer full staff.
