Guest Reviews
Hôtel très correct , de la chaîne TUI , Kalimba . En mai les touristes sont déjà partis , donc très calme et petite brise agréable . Bouteille de rosé le soir sur la plage pour 2100 dalasis , servi dans un seau à glace 🤪
The beach side room with private pool.
The breakfast
The staff
No door on bathroom
Pool cold (especially with strong sea winds)
Wall plug sockets are not suitable
Room door was banging & rattling in the wind all night and kept us awake
Приветливый персонал,вкусный ужин в ресторане,хороший пляж
Был грязный унитаз и стаканы при заезде, нет мыла/геля для душа/шампуня.
Грязные пляжные полотенца. Нет раннего заезда по скидке(только докупать целую ночь). Завтрак не слишком разнообразен
Rustig gelegen, aangepast voor rolstoelen.
1 personeelslid (Muymanu)van het restaurant was zeer brutaal, onvriendelijk en zeker niet behulpzaam.
Speciale verdiensten voor Yusupha, Lamin oude en Lamin grote. Alledrie werkzaam in het restaurant. Zij waren zeer behulpzaam.
Ook speciale verdienste voor Sainey, housekeeping.
Location, friendly atmosphere, good staff. Meals from the menu, pizzas.
Breakfast was poor apart from freshly cooked eggs/omlettes and often cold. Beach immediately in front of hotel needs clearing of rubble, bits of concrete and bricks.
Schöne Anlage. Man gibt sich Mühe sie zu pflegen. Personal freundlich. Die Möbel etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Leider fehlen teilweise hier und da Lichtquellen 🫤🤷🏼♀️ . Es wurde täglich das Zimmer gefegt und gewischt. Die Pools wurden täglich gesäubert. Wenn man einen Wunsch hatte wurden der umgehend erfüllt 🙂
Wir würden das Hotel weitere Empfehlen.
Was ich noch empfehle Ist die Poco Loko Bar in der Nähe ( mal auf Google Maps schauen) Tolle Musik. 👍🏼😊
Zu wenig Licht besonders im Badezimmer.
Der Strand leider teilweise nicht sauber. Tonscherben und Glas-Scherben. Hier und dort war Müll 🙁 die Sonnenliegen waren leider auch teilweise schmutzig.. Die männlichen Bedienungen waren auf Zack 👍🏼 die weiblichen leider etwas unmotiviert 🤷🏼♀️🫤 Das Essen im Hotel war okay !
La struttura è meravigliosa, pulita, curata, elegante e confortevole, situata in una posizione ottima. Il personale è fantastico: gentilezza, disponibilita’ empatia e cura del cliente sono la norma. Il ristorante fornisce un menu’ vasto accurato e a prezzi contenuti, tutti gli ambienti sono puliti, ben arredati e accoglienti. Questo è per me uno dei migliori hotel in cui abbia soggiornato, il rapporto tra la qualita’ dei servizi offerti e il prezzo pagato è molto conveniente. Consiglio vivamente questo hotel a chiunque.
A beautiful, quiet hotel by African standards, with a beautiful beach, the sound of the ocean, and a beautiful view. Breakfast was good, and the menu was delicious.
We debated for a long time between the Senegambia, Balafon, and Tamala hotels. We don't regret our choice. We highly recommend them.
The water in the pool could be warmer.
The total ambience and food is really nice
The rooms are below average, there is no door for the toilet, and a bad odor is coming from it. The rooms also look very poor, especially the floor.
La situation sur la plage, l'ambiance calme et reposante de l'hôtel, la chambre spacieuse avec un balcon donnant sur la piscine, le petit restaurant.
L'hôtel est un peu défraîchi, l'entrée et une partie des logements devraient être rénovées car la première impression en arrivant n'est pas favorable. L'éclairage de la salle de bain est beaucoup trop faible (manque de lumière).
Zeer net resort, personeel is geweldig! Vooral de schoonmaak (Badou!) en horeca staff. Dat hebben ze ook gedaan. Ontbijt is top! En de huisjes naast het zwembad zijn heel net, mooi gelegen, dichtbij het strand.
Kamers kunnen best verschillen, hebben voor een kamer gevraagd of we konden switchen omdat die echt stuk minder netjes was. Soms wat lastig communiceren met de receptie.
Everything
What we did like about the hotel was the property itself and especially the friendliness of the service staff, who were always very kind and helpful. The bungalows around the pool area and by the beach are very spacious, clean, and nicely designed. We also appreciated that security was always present at the beach, which made us feel safe. The Wi-Fi worked reasonably well throughout our stay, and the breakfast buffet offered a good variety of choices.
The location is also very convenient, within walking distance of the Serrekunda/Senegambia area, many local restaurants, and the craft market, which made it easy to explore the area without constantly needing a taxi.
We had booked two oceanfront bungalows with private pools through Booking.com. When we arrived at 2:30 a.m., we were told the hotel had been overbooked and that only one bungalow in that category was available. I was initially told I could move into the room I had booked after two days, but the next morning reception informed me this would not be possible until a later date, so I was given a bungalow a bit further back without pool instead.
In the end, the bungalow itself turned out to be perfectly fine, and we realised that a private pool was not really necessary. Still, what was frustrating was that there seemed to be a constant change of guests in the oceanfront private pool bungalows during our stay, including the one next to my friends. Since we stayed for two weeks, it was difficult to understand why no solution could have been found. I understand that overbookings can happen, but unfortunately I did not feel the situation was handled honestly.
The airport transfer was also overpriced. We paid €40 expecting a private transfer, but another couple from our flight was sharing the ride, meaning the hotel received €80 for one short transfer. Had we known it was shared, charging each couple half would have been fairer. For comparison, on our return we arranged our own private late-night transfer and paid 2000 Dalasi including a tip.
La proximidad a la playa, el personal, la habitación preciosa, muy acogedor.
Las tortillas del desayuno, muy ricas y el pollo al curry también, aunque el arroz un poco duro y muy difícil separar algunos trozos..
El bisab de bienvenida se agradece mucho. Muy bueno.
Había veces que el agua no salía y teníamos que esperar un rato (15') a qué saliese el agua de la ducha.
La comida, había que muy bien y había que muy mal, langosta muy hecha, seca, una carne dura de cortar y por supuesto de masticar.
El buffet libre del desayuno bien, aunque sin opciones libres de gluten, no había café descafeinado.
