Niet gek!!!👌
Pros:

Zwembad aan eigen balkon is geweldig, als je natuurlijk van zwemmen houd🤣

Cons:

Hadden in de nacht erg last van de pomp van het zwembad, duurde even voordat opgelost was , kregen er ook geen feedback over van hotel. Zodoende slechte nacht gehad.

Twee keer dinner genoten, eerste maal 8.0, tweede keer helaas een 6-.

Ontbijt was echt super. 👌

Aanrader voor iedereen, krijg je kamer 501, even een andere vragen, heb je goede nacht en super verblijf hier!!

Fabulous place - we really enjoyed our stay!
Pros:

A wonderful hotel with lovely and helpful staff.

Great rooms, fabulous swim up terrace, by the sea, and an amazing breakfast.

Cons:

An undercooked (ie totally uncooked!) chicken on our last lunch was rather worrying and disappointing.

It was well dealt with by the waiter and his manager, and there were many apologies, but still, it shouldn’t have happened.

The excuse was that it was a mistake by the trainee - surely the point of having a trainee is that they are there to learn, and therefore it is a point of whomever was supervising them!

Pros:

Room cleanliness exceptional including the grounds. The pool water smells sweaty. Added chlorine would improve this. Otherwise, the pools looked exceptionally clean which is nice.

Cons:

Breakfast. The yogurt tastes bad and the honey dippers need cleaning. The pastries should be sweeter (prior to any chocolate syrup drizzled or sweetened powders). Also, improving the availability of rental cars and options to choose lengths of rental would be delightful.

Perfect stay in the Gambia
Pros:

We had a really lovely time at the hotel, we liked the facilities and the atmosphere was always very calm. The room was spacious and very clean, thanks to our housekeeper Marie, who always greeted us with a smile. Breakfast had lots of choices and we also quite liked the restaurant.

Cons:

water in the pool was quite cold, especially in front of our swim-up room
