We have stayed at Dunes a few times now and have always been happy there, but the staff have made it a great place to stay. JJ is a lovely person who will take very good care of you during your stay (she even carried me to bed one night after a bit too much to drink). Mumin the pool... More

Our third visit to the Gambia was greatly enhanced by our stay at The Dunes Resort & Casino, in Kololi. This small 20 room hotel may lack some evening entertainment, but makes up for it with an above average Gambian welcome and friendliness. Its possible to rent a suit on the first floor or rooms on the ground floor, all... More

ideal for a relaxing holiday - spent all the days at the beach bar at the end of the garden. A few minor problems with the room which were reported but not sorted - more cheap and cheerful than comfortable - poor or no entertainment - would not recommend

Just come back from 10 night holiday in the Dunes Resort in Gambia. This was the first time in Gambia and we did not know what to expect. The culture is certainly different to ours and there is certainly alot of poverty. However we found the Gambian people very laid back and friendly with few exceptions. The hotel itself was... More

This is a great hotel if you want small and friendly rather than corporate with all the frills. On arrival, it doesn't look attractive - a building site each side, but you soon forget about this and it certainly wasn't disruptive during our 2 week stay. It is a small, quiet hotel - which is why we chose it. The... More

Spent 2 weeks relaxing and chilling out here. 4th visit to Gambia but first time staying at Dunes. Now happy to return to Dunes for my next 4 visits. Staff are friendly and you get very personal service. It is very quiet and relaxed with great food(which chef can tailor for you) and clean pool. The suites are great with... More

Dunes Resort is absolutely fantastic. Having travelled to many parts of the world, and many parts of east africa, it was a fantastic to find a hotel and staff that made us feel so welcome. The hotel location is exceptional, not only for the beach but for the local restaurants. The weather in November was 35 degrees everyday, and this... More

Stayed at Dunes Resort for ten days with a friend. Being the only ones at the hotel, due to the off season, the staff surely provided us with the best service possible. From landing in The Gambia to departing back home. The room were brilliant, the only thing to complain about was the shower, that somehow was difficult to get... More

Stayed at the Dunes 13 - 20th march 2009. The hotel is very quiet with around only 20 rooms, each room is cleaned daily and was more than sufficient. We had hot water and a good shower, luxury as we are in Africa after all. Not one mozzie bite all week, it's the dry season now and they dont expect... More
