We loved the Kairaba for many reasons: delightful staff who were always ready with a pleasant greeting; three top quality reasonably priced restaurants; large well-kept grounds with bougainvillea, huge trees, beautiful birds, even monkeys; oh, and the most comfortable beach sunbeds ever. We upgraded to a deluxe room which we deemed well worth the extra cost as it had a... More

If you want a quiet hotel on the strip, then the kairaba is highly recommended. I stayed here for 1 week and I can't fault the staff as they were very helpful. Breakfast had a wide range to cater for all tastes, they even had bacon. For a small charge, you can even have the breakfast brought to your room.... More

Just returned from the Kairaba hotel on the 17th of January and we had a fabulous time. Our standard room was good, even though we should have asked for an upgrade which was our fault.

The hotel grounds were beautiful, well kept and vast. The beach was lquite nice but forget about snorkelling for two reasons: it didn't seem like a type of waters where you can see a lot and the ocean in the Gambia is might be rough and dangerous. That also means that you might not be able to swim sometimes -... More

Hotel is very good standard for the Gambia, rooms nice, we had a deluxe on the ground floor which opened onto the gardens so we had the peacocks, lizards & monkeys right in front of us, breakfast very...

My wife and I visited this hotel at the end of November 2011 it was a last minute decision and I am glad we decided to go. This hotel is probably in the best location if you want everything to hand, there is a reasonable selection of eateries and bars within a few hundred yards yet the hotel itself is... More

Returned last night after great stay at Kairaba over Christmas. We both felt the Kairaba was an excellent place to stay and being able to walk straight out in to the Senegambia strip was a big plus with lots of restaurants, two or three small supermarkets, a craft market and money changing places, Although the strip looks very commercialised, busy...

This was our third visit to the Kairaba Hotel, over the last few years. not a lot has changed, plenty of staff they are a bit laid back, but still you are on holiday, plenty of sunbeds with the beach boys who will find you a spot to sit bringing your towels & mattress for the sunbed. The beach has... More
