Équipe très à l’écoute, malgré ces grands espaces agréables l’établissement n’est pas à la hauteur des 5 étoiles annoncé
Pros:

C’est spacieux

Cons:

L’établissement est vétuste et n’est pas à la hauteur des 5 étoiles annoncées.

Great place to stay and relax
Pros:

Very nice room and well maintained complex. The staff is super nice. breakfast delicious. Overall good value for the cost.

Cons:

The location is a bit further from the beach and across a busy road. But it is not such a big deal. 5min to the main touristic area and the neighborhood feels safe.

Pros:

Älskade verkligen platsen. Det var superlugnt och skönt kanske också för att det inte var högsäsong när vi var där. Städningen var super med rena handukar på rummet samt vatten i kylskåpet varje dag de kom även fram vid poolen och gav badhandukar som man kunde använda. Personalen var supertrevliga man kände sig otroligt välkommen. Hade en födelsedagsfest och åt vid bufen och eftersom vi var många gav managern oss ett superpris som vi var tacksamma över.

Cons:

Det fanns inte mycket som vi inte tyckte om men mer fin justeringar som behövs. Det först var att i vårat rum som var i huvudbyggnaden rum nr 2 så fanns det inte en hel spegel som man kunde spegla dig i utan det fans en liten spegel i badrummet. Kylskåpet kunde ha stått på ett litet bord istället för på golvet. Ett uttag mellan sängarna var lös så vågade inte ladda där men det fanns andra ställen i rummet att ladda vid. Alla pooler var inte igång eller den som var närmast oss var inte ren så man kunde inte bada i den. Vi hade rummet längst ner och där kunde det stå bilar som förstörde lite av den fantastiska utsikten. De hade en bra parkeringsplats utanför hotellet där bilarna kunde stå istället för utanför rummet men överlag så var vi helnöjda med vår vistelse.

It was a spacious and comfortable accommodation, in the safest and most developed region of the city. The staff was so kind and polite, smiling and helpful. The breakfast was so delicious. Lastly, great beds and matresses!!!!!! Close to the beach and the main toutist zone.

Relaxation in a beautiful place.
Pros:

Peaceful Stay - We booked a week with the intention of moving for the second but decided to stay for another. Location on the edge of the strip suited us, the problems of power outs is a Gambia problem and only a couple for a short time, good coverage for WiFi but the attentive and friendly staff - too many to mention and the management team especially make the Coconut R a really great place to unwind and relax.

Nearly wonderful
Pros:

This hotel has wonderful rooms and grounds which are all well kept with a feeling of grandeur. We had a huge room with a balcony and a private pool virtually to ourselves. There are a couple of pools to give a feeling of privacy, especially when the hotel is less busy, as it was on our visit. The breakfast is good and generally the staff were attentive.

Cons:

The hotel is a walk from the busy 'tourist strip' and so it would have been helpful to have a good bar to spend an evening to save tge walk or to retreat for a nightcap before bed. However, the bar staff, of which there were many, were not particularly attentive and at one point when a rucus seemed to occur within the staff, the Manager who had greeted us on arrival and was now sitting having drinks with customers, seemed to tell them off quite publically across us. One of the two evenings we decided to spend at the hotel was valentines night only to find this was packed out with guests from outside the hotel and all the tables were therefore pushed together so we were sharing with another couple who were hotel guests from Germany and unfortunately only one of them spoke english so it was a little uncomfortable at times. It was thoroughly unromantic and the most expensive night we had in Gambia. Just felt this could be a wonderful hotel, but the bar let's it down as it seems to be geared to making money from outside events rather than focusing on being a great bar in itself.
