The towels were smelly, but the hotel ok for the money. Since it was the end of the season, the bumsters were too many and too annoying and the guards could not care less... don't think I'll be rushing back there. But we had a very nice local guide, DJ Ratty, I definitely reccommend him... easy going, knowlegeable and fun... More

Nice pool area and gardens, staff are helpful and friendly apart from the head of entertainment Happy Haddy: she was only interested in mixing with the people who had been going there for years. Some guests were on their 29th visit and most had been to either the hotel or the Gambia before. Happy Haddy also failed to really ever... More

Apologies in advance - this is a long one!!! To give you an idea of who we are, we are not the package holiday or 'all inclusive' types so chose this hotel mainly for location and facilities, with breakfast only included. Room: we had a superior room. It was fine, not overly flash in any way but comfortable enough. It... More

A great hotel with lots of character – I can see why people come back year on year. The hotel is right on the beach front and has ample sun-loungers near the pool and on the beach. All the staff are very friendly and always smiling. The rooms are simple but all the 'good stuff' is outside in any case.... More

Did what it said on the tin ! Family of four with 2 teenager school girls. We weren't expecting the Ritz and it isn't but it is clean and friendly, good staff, good area, lovely beach, ideal for long walks. We liked the fruit sellers and beach bars, great way to learn about the place. A lady by herself can... More

We were very disappointed when we first arrived and we were shown to our room with torn curtains, cracked tiles and generally in a real state of disrepair. After complaining to the reception staff we were shown another room which was much the same and the 3rd room we were shown was in slightly better condition so we stuck with... More
