The staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was healthy with all of the food that I was used to. Cleaners came to my room every morning to ask about cleaning my room and to help with washing my dirty clothes for a few pounds. The beach is about five minutes walk from the property and the beach is very clean. The resort pool is very clean and well spaced out, with children pool on one side and the adults on the other side separated by a bridge that leads to the bar. The way the huts are laid out was great it allows for privacy with two bamboo chairs and a table in front of the hut, incase you want to watch the sun go down. Great place, I loved it.

Here’s a polished, natural-sounding review in English: --- This was my sixth stay in a hotel in Gambia, and without a doubt the best one considering the same standard of hotels. The service was exceptionally warm and attentive, the rooms were more comfortable than anywhere I’ve stayed before, and the overall atmosphere made the experience truly relaxing. I will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great value and a genuinely enjoyable stay.

The decore in the rooms are very unique. The downside was the bed, it had a shelf surrounding and being short it made it hard to get in and out of bed. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was a little disappointing with not much selection to choice from. Overall a great experience and would definitely return

Quiet, peaceful, clean hotel beach resort

From the outside of the beach hotel resort, to the lobby and then the entire surrounding of the hotel area itself were very amazing and the rooms were highly comfortable. The restaurant area was nicely decorated and the foods were made cooked to order. Moreover, fresh ingredients were used and the taste were mouth watering delicious in every bite. At night, the lights lit up the entire hotel property. The pools sparkled with cleanliness and the sound of nature made it so peaceful. I wanted to stay longer, but had to return back to the USA to be with my kids. Hands down this has been one of the best clean beach hotel resorts I have vacationed at period. Love it!

The staff are the best and will go above and beyond to assist customers. The breakfast was fine. The location is excellent and within walking distance of most things you would want and need on holiday. The peacocks and other birds that live on the grounds made it a wonderful, unique place to stay. The beds are really not comfortable, unfortunately. Oh, and there seemed to be a shortage of napkins and toilet paper for some strange reason: we did however, find plenty in the shop, some 50 metres from the hotel.
