The Double Room with Garden View offered a comfortable ambiance, perfect for a couple's getaway. The pool area provided a nice escape for relaxation after a long day.

This unexpected delay made the arrival after a lengthy journey more stressful than it should have been. The room didn't come with the expected amenities for the price paid, leaving us with mixed feelings about the value offered .

Gambia vibes 🌴

What a lekker spot to chill for a few days! The room was massive and so nicely done. The staff were just super friendly and helpful. Got a double room with a pool view and the vibes were great. Definitely reminded me of a little slice of paradise!

Just a bit of a schlep with the check-in. Took longer than expected.

This hotel is the perfect escape for relaxation. The staff's friendliness and willingness to help immediately. I loved the spacious Double Room with Pool View, beautifully furnished and contributed to a serene atmosphere. The outdoor pool area was a peaceful retreat after exploring nearby attractions, and I found the location convenient, with easy access to Kunta Kinteh beach bar, open late for dinner-perfect for solo dining.

The check-in process could be confusing at times.

The location was just perfect, right on the beach! I really loved how spacious the room was with that gorgeous view. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. The outdoor dining area was a nice chill spot for meals, but sometimes it took a while to get service during peak hours.

Spacious room, beautiful pool, the outdoor dining area made for a good breakfast experience while soaking up the sun and the location is conveniently situated just 14 km from the nearest airport for easy access.

Couldn't have been happier.
