Although cautious about Gambia (as a single woman NOT looking for romance!) and a Sheraton hotel(bad experience in Egypt)..my experience as a single traveller to this hotel was a revelation. The most impressive and long lasting impression will be the welcoming nature of ALL staff I met. They were charming, helpful, polite and respectful..nothing was too much trouble. Any minor... more

Having read the reviews of this hotel, we were prepared for its out-of-the way location; in fact, this was just what we wanted. We had booked a week's half-board and were looking for a relaxing, non-demanding one-week break after a very stressful work period. This was exactly what we had. The room was great - very spacious and the comfort... more

We have just returned from a week's stay at The Sheraton which clearly isn't a 5* at all - 4* perhaps (on a good day) but certainly not 5! We found the staff to be friendly and helpful unlike their leaders who had two gears, very slow and stop! We reported a few problems (a bug in the nicoise salad,... more

This was the most relaxing holiday we have had in years. The hotel is beautifully laid out, the rooms, with a beach view and sounds of the sea, are well thought out, mixing comfort and design together to excellent effect. The staff are helpful and keen to please. The view from the reception area and dining rooms is panoramic.The location... more

Just returned from a week at this hotel. The place itself is very nice with great staff, good service and varied, clean rooms. However, the hotel is a few miles out from the main area (Kololi beach) so if you want a change of scene then you need to travel and its too far to walk. Beach is great but... more

Having just returned (8th Mar 09) from 7 nights at "The Sheraton, Gambia". All I can say is how good this location really is. Only a 6 hour flight away from the UK. The weather was great, plenty of sun and nice breeze which allowed escape from the sun when needed. Cool evenings were ideal. No insects. The hotel was... more

Me and my husband spent a week here and loved every minute! I really wanted to write a review, not only to say what a great time we had but also because there are people who have left bad reviews of the hotel and wanted to leave a great one! Some people have complained about the tiniest things not being... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Sheraton Gambia for the first two weeks in January 2009. I found the hotel very well designed. The hotel looks nice, and we liked out room. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The private beach was very good, but the swimming pool was a little small... more

Have just returned from a week at the Sheraton Gambia with my mum. Like some of the other reviewers we were almost put off by some of the comments on this site but I have to say that in our experience they are completely unfounded. The location right on the beach is lovely, the rooms spotless and the service was... more
