Perfect holiday
Pros:

Quiet and secluded.
Small hotel, great service.
It is a little old, but newly painted and clean.
AC and hot shower worked perfect.
Beach approximity is great. Fun, BIG waves. You don’t swim but tumble (not for small children). Hardly any people at the beach or at the hotel’s pool which is also kept very clean. But plenty of beach bars/cafes. And beautiful sunsets.
Hardly any bugs, but there is also no humidity as such in February. We enjoyed the balcony with ocean view during siestas.
Paula, Bibi and the rest of the staff were so kind and helpful with tours, use of paypal and late check out. Despite the small size of the hotel, the kitchen was open all day till 9 pm, with a rather large menu card.
It is not 5 European standard stars, but definitely 5 African stars. I loved our stay and highly recommend it to anyone.

Cons:

It is a bit far from main street with ATMs (which may not work anyway) and super markets (approx 1 km). Other shopping is even further away. We liked the hazzle free holiday and didn’t come for the shopping, so to us it wasn’t important.
The hall way is very big and does not absorb the sound of occasional slamming doors. Because of the little number of rooms this was not a problem to us.

Heerlijk!
Pros:

De ligging was heerlijk, weg van het massatoerisme maar als je daarheen wilt ben je er zo. Het stuk naar het strand viel ook mee, alleen eind van de dag de 75 tredes weer op inclusief kinderen en spullen was een workout. Op het strand is een geweldige beachclub.

Het personeel was heel erg vriendelijk, de chef deed iedere ochtend zijn best en met alle werknemers van keuken, bar, beveiliging tot schoonmakers waren uiterst vriendelijk. Wij voelde ons onwijs thuis.

Het is een accommodatie met niet heel veel kamers, maar juist dat maakte het huiselijk. Wij hadden als we ‘s avonds nog wat zaten te borrelen of biljarten soms het gevoel alsof we het voor onszelf hadden.

De schoonmaak was goed en het eten ook. Ruime keuze op het menu van het restaurant.

Wij zullen zeker terugkeren!

Cons:

Het is een grote ruimte waardoor het kan gaan galmen. Wij hebben kleine kinderen dus kan mij voorstellen dat het voor anderen dan gehorig kan worden.

Perfect in every single way.
Pros:

Regards breakfast and food in general, Mr T and Sonya were fantastic cooks who prepared a lovely continental spread for us daily. They also offer cooked breakfasts as well. Furthermore the times of finishing breakfast dont really apply and they will continue to cook way past this time. Mr T's scrambled eggs were some of the best I have eaten.
The evening meals were out of this world cooked to order and taste wise you could ask for more. Again the staff went out of their way to accomodate our requests.
Accomodation was superb, location again superb.
I also have to mention the other staff here. Mr Bibi, Amal, Nday and Caba. They are a fantastic team and made our stay super special.
Paula the manager/Director of the place is also super friendly and runs a very tight ship.
We will be returning here without doubt that yet again we will experience the most friendliest of welcome and most enjoyable stay.

Cons:

There was nothing we didnt like.....this was the perfect location for our 2 week stay in the Gambia.

Overall, a decent place to stay to rest your head.
Pros:

The cooked breakfast consisted of egg made to your liking, sausages and beans. However, the Chef was accommodating if you wished to have it made differently. There was cereal, milk, tea, coffee and juice as well as fresh fruit -melon and papaya. The breakfast table also served as a pool table which was made available after breakfast time. We stayed in twin beds. Air conditioning was available to use. The water from the shower was always hot. The pool was available and towels were provided for the sun beds. Football was always on the TV - so the entertainment was just that but it was fine.

Cons:

The TV in our room was not set up and although we received a cable box, we were unable to watch the TV due to the low signal. There was a fridge but it was not plugged in and we had to ask for this to be turned on, of which took some days to do. The view was the back end of the hotel whereby all we could see was barbed wire and hanged out washing. I was also unsure if others could see into our room had they been looking out of their window. There was a kettle in our room but it had an european plug head and therefore did not fit the plugs in the room, so it couldnt be used and the choice of hot beverages in the room looked as though they had been there for some time. The shower was good, but perhap a hook or a shelf whereby guests could place their toiletries whilst in there.

The stairway to the beach was steep and on one day there was a person sitting at the end of the steps who did not move although we were able to cross over OK but it was a bit daunting at first.

Wonderful stay, absolutely incredible staff.
Pros:

Outside of the wonderful location, the team at the hotel are some of the most gracious and warmhearted people I’ve ever met. Always a delight to talk to, always happy to help and advice.

Cons:

There isn’t an aspect of this hotel that requires improvement.
