I checked in yesterday, the setting is nice, dream beach set up: beach beds, couches, shower, grill restaurant. Got a huge upstairs room, it was clean and had a pool view, but no balcony. I moved to a ground floor room across from the pool. Smaller but feels more like a holiday ( I wonder why it isn't cheaper than... More

Just returned from a weeks stay at the sunswing beach resort. Been travelling to the gambia for the past 12 years and this is by far the best hotel in the gambia. The staff are trully amazing really friendly and cant do enough for you. The hotel is situated on a beautiful white sandy beach with luxury double sun beds.

You as trip advisor seem to be very behind. The Jerma Beach is now Sunswing. You need to update this!!! We were there this year from 2nd-9th April 2012. What a great hotel. Lovely rooms. Great pool and staff. Great beach front location but not much else in the area apart from the Poco Loco next door. Breakfast was adequate... More

Recently returned to The Gambia and was recommended to stay at the Jerma Beach Hotel, now under new management and called The Sunswing Hotel. Although the decor is in parts a little dated, the rooms are meticulously cleaned and towels changed every day, and linen changed regularly. The staff are so welcoming and will do all that they can to... More

I recently attended a conference held at the Sunswing Beach Resort, formerly known as Jerma Beach Hotel & Resort (Note to Trip Advisor: You need to update the name of the hotel in your database, so that when people search for "Sunswing Beach Resort" the reviews for Jerma come up). As a conference presenter, I was booked into the Sunswing,... More

Visited early December and have to say it was one of the best holidays we have ever spent. This was mainly due to the great staff who work at the hotel. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was friendly and professional.The hotel itself was nice, good sized pool, well maintained grounds and a pleasant decked area facing the sea. The... More

This hotel needs a lot of work to even be considered average: Rooms: The first room I was put into had the most awful mouldy smell coming from the bathroom. I was moved into another room and while it was reasonably clean, the carpet had a very nasty hole and stain. Half the room was covered by a piece of... More

The hotel staff were excellent. However the rooms were dated and bathroom filthy, mold around bath etc. The food wasn't great. The pool was nice. What spoilt this holiday was when you left the hotel, so many bumsters you could not walk along the beach without being hassled constantly, we took to walking in the sea away from shore but... More
