Four stars at best!
Pros:

Food and restaurant staff also Beach location.

Cons:

Booked for my birthday 3 nights as a treat. Expected more from a so-called 5 star hotel. Cleaners knocked and entered 9am to clean room.. which is too early.
The electric kettle lead to short kettle leaked also leaving slip hazard on floor. Each time you lent on balcony the white paint stuck to your arms and clothes which was carried into room.
I forgot my brand new mini Wifi router in small cupboard that housed robes and room spray. Called reception same day & again 2 days later,they said they would look into to date no response at all.
So I question the honesty off the staff.
Coco Ocean did not meet my 5 star expectations.
Was also told by staff last orders at the restaurant was 11pm turns out 10:30pm more accurate. As I was refused the Thai menu I had previous night.

Immer noch besonders
Pros:

Das Hotel ist und bleibt ein besonderes Erlebnis in Gambia, auch wenn inzwischen einige Resorts entstanden sind, die moderner, schicker und komfortabler sind.
Doch die Atmosphäre und insbesondere das SPA sind unschlagbar- auch wenn der schöne Pool im Spa momentan geschlossen ist. Auch die Küche ist ausgezeichnet, wenngleich die Auswahl beim Frühstück eher bescheiden ist.
Es gibt jetzt auch ein Thai Restaurant inklusive thailändischem Koch, das echtes Bangkok Feeling vermittelt.
Das Personal ist sehr engagiert, manchmal etwas drüber, aber besser als umgekehrt.

Cons:

Der Zahn der Zeit nagt unübersehbar an allen Ecken und Kanten, und die Zimmer sind inzwischen doch etwas outdated. Man wird sich was überlegen müssen wenn man mit den modernen 5 Sterne Resorts mithalten will.
