I will definitely come back! The staff are so caring, helpful and kind. They go out of their ways to be sure you have everything you need, whether that’s in your room, poolside, by the beach or in a restaurant.
I had a club villa, with a beautiful terrace with two large sofas, a table and chairs. My room was so big and each evening, during turn down service, they closed my mosquito nets (although thankfully there weren’t any mosquitos!). I came to stay here as I knew they had Thai chefs, from when I’d come here for dinner in a previous visit. So the Thai food was fabulous, but so were the breakfasts. The eggs shakshushka were probably the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. I even asked the chef how to make them!
There are plenty of pool options and they were always quiet, with the sound of the waves breaking in the background. Poolside cocktails tasted fabulous and they even have my favourite, banana daiquiri.
The hotel does feel a little dated, but it’s still fabulous and I loved my stay.
I was disappointed by the spa, they always cut treatments way short of the amount of time I’d paid for and other guests noticed the same thing. They seemed disorganised and left the changing rooms messy. However, it’s nice to have well priced massages in site.

This hotel seriously needs millions spent on it, its shabby & lifeless. The pool areas are basic with rusty sun bed are torn & split! The private pool you have as a club guest is very small, just didnt look clean with floor tiles so old & dirty looking (wish id taken pics) cracks in tiles, the other pool is tiny looks nothing like hotel pics its also mainly shaded by the tall palms.
We had a club villa which could have been lovely. They are small, very very dated, smelt like toilet, the mirror in bathroom had a giant crack in it & the shower old fashioned & dribbled out. The yellow curtains were dirty & stained.
We were staying at another hotel & i booked this for one night for our anniversary as we had debated staying at this hotel before booking. (Thank goodness we never booked this for our entire trip) We ended up leaving after 2 hours & i lost any money paid but there was just no way we could stay there.
The management were disinterested in what i had to say, the only helpful person was a lady at guest relations but management offered no apology, no room change or refund. To be honest even with a room change we wouldnt of stayed.
This is barely a 2 star its just horrible weve been to the gambia a few times so don't expect high end luxury but this was beyond terrible. Cant comment on food & drinks as we didnt stay long enough, when we arrived people where still having breakfast & it was empty & quiet the buildings again old & shabby.

The room was not what was expected for the amount of money they charge per night. The staff were okay. They also refuse to accommodate simple request. I will not go back again. Will look for other hotel in the area. No iron in the room, hot water was a problem. Room was not clean. Hotel rooms need renovation.

This property was once elegant---but the rooms are very ordinary---more like a 2 star at best. The ambience, pools, setting are great---food is good---service fast and friendly. Internet is horrible. Thinking it is just the country---and if that is the best the country has???

We liked the quiet tranquility most of the time though occasionally noisy with officials having parties. The staff were very attentive, helpful and friendly. We liked the room with private outside area. We liked the infinity pool. We were surprised that there was a poor selection of fruit available at breakfast but otherwise it was a good spread. We were impressed with our spa experience and felt totally relaxed afterwards.
The green taxi drivers’outside were very friendly and reasonable priced too and took us to Sengambia strip for the evenings for around £4 return.
Overall a fantastic relaxed holiday.

Nope

Shabby and disgusting hotel that says it’s “5 star” and charges accordingly. Complete waste of money. Absolutely do not book a higher end room here, as literally all you get is more space. The club villa rooms have 7 doors to lock- 6 of which are slide balcony doors that are in such bad condition they all cannot be locked. There is no privacy, and absolutely no “partial ocean views” like their website claims. All false advertising. The service at the restaurant is admitted great and the staff really tries- but anything promised by the night front desk is not followed through with the morning manager. Said no problem to pay extra for a late check out, then day of they say they are overbooked by 8 rooms, despite booking websites all stating there are 24 rooms still available. Oh they did say we could “extend our stay by a few days instead of late check out” though which makes complete sense after they just said they were overbooked. Simple extortions. Last note- the first two club villa we were given had combinations of urine stains all over the sheets, no soap, no mosquito net, bugs everywhere including the bed, and no water. Also the wifi is weak, intermittent, and consistently kicks you off. And beware there is no fitness room at this “5 star resort.” Complete sham of a place. Go anywhere else and so not pay the European prices for this dilapidated hotel.

Loved this beach resort. We rented the Villa, it was a large room with a comfy bed with a sea view. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The only thing I didn’t care for was housekeeping always arrived early in the morning to clean our room (even when there was a card on the door saying “do not disturb”). On holiday, you don’t want an early knock on your door. If we didn’t answer she would keep knocking until we opened the door. So, we didn’t get the luxury of “sleeping in” during our holiday.
Other than that, I would definitely stay here again. It was lovely.

Saunaa en löytäny mutta ilmeisesti hieronta paikalla se olisi ollut. Kylpylästä olen saanut eri kuvan. Aamupala käytäntö ei hyvä. Seisova pöytä täytyy olla. Huonolla englannilla vaikeaa. Kulttuuri todella kiusallisen ystävällistä. Huoneena Bamboo Sviitti on eritkn hyvä.

Fantastisk vistelse

Vi hade en väldigt trevlig vistelse, förlängde vår tid där och stannade 2 veckor. Personalen är mycket trevliga och service vänliga! Maten mycket bra.
Stranden fantastisk med härliga vågor som hela tiden rullade in. Wifi var ok men eftersom vi jobbade en del med Teams möten och behövde ett pålitligt Wifi så betalde vi ca 40 Euro för en egen router. Vi kommer nog att återvända till detta hotel.

It was pretty empty so we almost had the entire hotel to ourselves. The beach and the premises are beautiful and the room was large and airy. The staff were pretty inconsistent, with some rather distant and others really great to chat with. It was Ramadan so it is understandable. Some areas of the hotel could need some renovation. Especially the bathroom seemed a bit outdated, but not a big thing.
