The best part of this hotel is without doubt the swimming pool! Beautiful and large - the biggest in The Gambia. Beatifully warm and clean. The rooms in 'cell' block are basic but adequate. The best views are pool side but the rooms at the back are definitely cooler especially on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The bungalows are good... More

The food is limited in choice but I challenge anyone to starve...! All public areas are 'tired' but safe and clean. Whilst this may make you... More

The bungalows comprise of a large spacious room which has twin beds, wardrobe with drawers, table, chairs, 2 bedside cabinets with drawer and a unit with drawer. Also a tv with a range of channels. Several channels in English which includes a couple of good movie... More
