Tropic Garden Hotel, a place not central, ugly and dirty area around, and no lights in streets.
Pros:

Lo chef

Cons:

Spiaggia e la location. Posto isolato, buio e scomodo

A really nice stay
Pros:

Beautiful setting with plenty of natural spaces to chill.
Pool is clean and very easily accessible. Be aware that it is used by the public especially during the weekend.
Meals are great! Both breakfasts and dinners. Less variety in the off season, but beautifully prepared.
Apart from one man who couldn't leave the couch and his phone, the staff were amazing, always willing to help.
A great stay overall

Cons:

Nothing significant. Little things like cold water, mould on the bathroom ceiling, and a below par beach dominated by seaweed, makes the place a fraction overpriced in my opinion. But don't hesitate to stay here

Pros:

non è un luogo per europei.

i signori alle camere ,sono disponibili ,ma devi chiedere sempre tutto te.

eravamo in 4 e mai veniva pulita la camera e siamo tutti rimasti anche senza carta.....

aggiungo che le 2 signore alle colazioni erano oltremodo infastidite dalla nostra presenza.

la colazione sono uova e marmellata.

stop.

tornerò a breve in gambia ,ma mai più in quel posto fatiscente......

Merci, ne changez rien
Pros:

Un bel accueil, des professionnels sympathiques, compétents. Nous avons bénéficié d'un accompagnement tout au long du séjour si nous avions des besoins. L'emplacement est formidable au bord de la mer, l'hotel est bien entouré de verdure, des taxis possibles à partir de l'établissement. De plus, un service de petit déjeuner et restauration au top avec de très bons plats
