I have been to The Gambia 7 times and The Ocean Bay is one of the nicest hotels..the rooms are abit dark but the grounds are lovely and they keep the moz's at bay by zapping the whole hotel grounds every evening..you need to go into your room while this is done as its abit smokey but it clears within...

rooms cleaned to a good standard every day . friendly staff good security as African hotel standards go this was a great resort . breakfast on a buffet basis was varied and eggs cooked fresh to order etc . could not find anything to complain about here excellent

The hotel is lovely, it may not meet 5 star standards of a western hotel, but why come to Africa for that anyway? If you want that, stay in Europe or America. I would give it a good 3 star maybe 4 star hotel due to the staff. The rooms are clean with fresh towels and the beds made up... More

(TIA) This Is Africa, when my family saw my honey moon pictures they thought I was lying about being in Africa. I had a wonderful experience at The Ocean Bay Hotel & Resort. I drove around and visited all hotels in Gambia on this side... More

make sure you go an see Omar on the beach, he will make sure you get to see everything around for a good price... rather than going out to the front and getting one of the 'bumsters'

This hotel is excellent value for money. It is right on the beach with the village go Bakau on the other side of the road-get one of the official guides from outside the hotel to walk you through the village, taking in the crocodile park and the craft market. Yes-you will be stopped by nearly everyone, but this is not... More

This was our second time to The Gambia but a first for Jack (8). The first thing I would say is that the arrival at Banjul airport is not the greatest advertisement for tourists but once out and met by our private transfer (booked with the hotel by email) all was good. The hotel is fab and whilst it may... More
