Loved our time here
Pros:

We liked everything, it was such a beautiful place and great location right on the beach front!
Overall I think we would stay there again, as it just had a great atmosphere there, and majority of the staff were so helpful and attentive.

Cons:

It's more about slight improvements that could be made to keep the standards of a 4* hotel up!
1. At meal times it would be great if the desserts and salads had net covers to keep the flies off them.
2. Housekeeping staff could do with working a bit quicker as it took the whole day and evening, and still our room wasn't done everyday as advertised, thankfully we are not super messy people so we were fine with the once or twice it got cleaned and when we asked for towels we got them.
3. There was some kind of information pack about what's happening on site each day and the times and also where and what is available around the hotel for customers.
4. The water in the shower was cold on the evenings. However, with the sunshine being so hot it wasn't the worse but would of been nice to have the option of having the water a bit warmer on the nights.
5. All inclusive should include being able to have food (at least once) at the A la Cartè restaurant as well and it would be great if it included a few free ice cream scoops too...

Stunning location, fabulous amenties, exceptional food, wonderful staff.
Pros:

So much to like. I have stayed at Kombo Beach for many years and have always loved it. The location is fantastic, on a sandy beach. The recent updates to the hotel are phenomenal, with more improvements since our last stay. The new swimming pool is great, and although we were not in the swim up pool rooms, they looked fantastic. The room upgrades make a great difference. We chose the all inclusive option and the food was excellent - often not the case with all inclusive. A great choice of food, from Gambian dishes, salads, meats and many different types of cusisine. With the new ownership it is lovely to have quality Indinian food on offer, if a little unusual in the Gambia. The breakfast is exceptional - I am not sure if I have had better, even in a top hotel. The head chef at breakfast is talented. The new manager is friendly and visible. It is clear he runs a tight ship ensuring the needs of residents are met. The true beautyof the hotel is the staff, and always had been. even though the hotel was previously in need of renovation, we came back because the staff were so friendly and helpful. The upgrades are amazing, but the welcome of the old staff - and now the new management, is what brings us back.

Cons:

I would not change much. As an all inclusive, the cocktails were not great, nor alcholic beverages in general. When paying all inclusive, it is so that you can enjoy a drink and food knowing it is already paid for. I did not notice any of the snacks you sometimes get in all inclusive - e.g an ice cream at a specific time. It is possible they were availble.
My biggest change would be at the main reception. Unlike the rest of the staff, the welcome and support was dismissive and unfriendly, as if we didn't exist. They argued with each other in front of us, and seemed to busy to help. We were left to stack our own luggage on the trolley and my son carried most suitcases up the 3 flights of stairs whilst the reception worker played with his football in the corridor. This was so at odds with the management and other staff who went out of their way to help.

Not fair about the price
Pros:

Good location and facilities

Cons:

Apparently, something went wrong with the booking. The booking said I rented two rooms for one person per room, whereas I needed two rooms for two people. After all, there were two adults and two children. To resolve this, instead of 1,300 euros for a week, I suddenly had to pay 2,200 euros (for the same two double rooms I already had booked, but just to have a second person in it) l. This was quite more than we expected, though the receptionists acted as if we were getting a special "friends' price." When I suggested cancelling the entire booking and rebooking for four people, I found out I should eventually end up with a total that was 400 euros cheaper than what the hotel was asking. When I show that to both people at the reception, they had to accept it, but this left me with the feeling that they tried to rip us off. That casts a shadow over our experience at this hotel.

Without this negative first experience however, I must say our score would be higher. The hotel is expensive for what it offers, but the location is beautiful, the facilities are fine (although the water slide could be open a bit more often), and the rest of the staff is generally very helpful. But first impressions matter!

Lyxig resort vid havet!
Pros:

Rent och snyggt. Vi bodde i ett swimup rum som var fantastiskt. Kvällssol och havsutsikt! Direkt access till underbar strand. Ren strand med fruktförsäljare som sålde färsk frukt och juice varje dag! Hotellet hade fantastisk underhållning nästan varje kväll. Stor buffé både på frukost, lunch och middag. Två kvällar var det grillning och buffé på stranden med lokala rätter. På söndagen var det en gigantisk söndags buffé med skaldjur, fisk, grillat kött och mycket annat lyxigt!

Fantastiskt utegym och yoga!

Ägarna var på plats och de var så hjälpsamma! De gjorde vår vistelse helt fantastisk. ❤️

Cons:

Allt var bra!

Pros:

The ressort is located at the beatiful beach side. Our balconies had sea view and were really comfortable. The room was spacious and clean, the bed very comfortable. The reception staff and cleaners were helpful and attentive.

Cons:

The pool looked very nice, but i think it contained too much chemicals, my daughter got itchy skin and afrer the first day, moreover we saw quite some insects in the water. We did not like the food in the restaurant, fortunately we only booked with breakfast.
