We stayed at the Kairaba in October and had a really good time. The staff were always friendly and helpful - this includes the gardeners and the pool staff. We stayed on a ground floor suite which was clean and had a nice lounge area, my only complaint would be that the rooms were a bit dated and could do... more

Don't get me wrong, we very much enjoyed our 11 nights at the Kairaba. The room was clean and air conditioned, and the House Keepers came every morning to clean the sheets etc - the room however is like a box, there is no feeling of being in Gambia, you could be anywhere in the world. The same is to... more

The rooms were comfortable, the beach and pool areas well maintained and it's just off the main strip so lots of places to eat and drink outside the hotel too.

The humidity was fierce though... more

We absolutely loved our stay here. The setting, amidst lush tropical gardens, is exquisite. We stayed in an Executive Suite, which was spacious and had a great view. The hotel is right on the sea, which makes a big difference. The staff are fantastically friendly. We had a great driver, named Mass Ceesay (220) 7703153 who took us around the... more
