I just come back from Gambia from Palma Rima hotel. Before I went away I read few really negative opinions and I really don’t understand why?! The hotel was great. I stayed in the main block and my room was spacious and clean. The towels been change every day and the bedding was change 3 times in the week. The... more

As it got closer to the time we were getting more & more hesitant about Palma Rima!

I have travelled to many different countries on my own, this was my first time in The Gambia. I wasn't expecting great luxury as it is a third world country. I could live with the poor cleanliness and the pityful breakfast!! I could even live with the bumsters, I even made friends with a few. Yes you have to be... more
