Resorts in Gambia

"All of the staff, save for one, were welcoming and helpful and wonderful. The rooms were tucked away and quiet, especially on the weekdays (there were fun, loud parties happening until late at neighboring properties on the weekend). They were clean and equipped with mosquito nets, soap, and hot water in the evenings. Also, watching the fishermen and watching the wrestling on Sunday were amazing experiences. The food was delicious and affordable, and the beach view and many available beach lounging chairs made it a very relaxing place to be."

The rooms didn't have any lockable safes and the windows looked like they'd be easy to break in to. There was no running water in our rooms some of the mornings, but I don't know if I had any accommodation anywhere in Gambia that didn't have plumbing problems. Also, while most of the staff was excellent, the daytime security guy (Jawal?) was trying too hard to be too friendly. As a young woman, I was already dealing with a lot of unwanted male attention, and you'd think the security guards would help keep me safe, but the security guard kept trying to pressure me repeatedly to take gifts from him, even after I made it clear I was not interested. Who's supposed to keep me safe from creeps when the security guy is being a creep? I hope they can hire someone better for the job, because otherwise it was a great place to stay.

"The staff was the best part to be honest, they were so incredible and helped us with everything! The property was beautiful and our view was amazing!"

Everything was perfect but there were a few bugs I found in the room but on an island, I’m sure it’s hard to keep those out lol

"• The hotel has a great location. City center, parks, restaurants and cafés are just a walking distance. • Staff was friendly and very helpful. • The room where we stayed was clean and has a balcony with a view on the hotel’s main entrance and a fairly big yard/parking lot between neighboring buildings."

• Breakfast could have been included in the rate. • If you have noisy neighbors/hotel mates, don’t expect expect to sleep week as walls are not sound proof. We had this issue on our first night.

"Nagyon kedves személyzet, rugalmas opciók vacsora és spa elményekkel kapcsolatosan , családias, de annál szuperebb spa, rendkívül csendes, pihentető környezet, kényelmes bútorok, közösségi, de csendes tér, társasjátékok, sakk, pingpong. Igazán rég voltunk ilyen szuper pihentető, csendes helyen."

Minden szuper volt 👌

"First of all we also had a tour which was great. We drank great wine and had an amazing dinner. When we went to see the rooms, we couldn’t believe how big they were. Honestly, some of the biggest hotel rooms I have ever seen, in a small room budget. They looked good, the bed was comfortable, we received a wine as a welcome gift."

In one of the rooms I think the heating was not functioning properly, but it was fine, the weather was not too cold anyway

"Location: Julai’a beach is the best beach in kuwait."

No new activities and no activities at all. They need to update room service restaurant menu.

"the pool u should have a cover over it when u dontt have a high volume of ppl had alot of insects in it other than that the stay was awesomee staff amazimggg."

buggs in pool

"La habitación es grande y cómoda el personal 10 Stephani es una crack."

Falta ahí un pequeño bar para desayunar

"Everything. It is in a fantastic location, is immaculately maintained, has a well equipped gym and indoor and outdoor pools and a great layout. The staff cannot do enough to make your stay exceptional."

Nothing, it was as close to being perfect as it is possible to be.

"Rented a cabin and expected simplicity but it was more like a hotel room at an expensive hotel and there was fridge & freezer plus cooking facilities."

Little hard to find the parking for the cabin though. They were numbered but not clearly printed on the map we were given. Had to look around quite a bit before we found the parking spot. There was no information on how to practically check out. I drove the car towards the reception but the street in front of the reception had a no stopping sign. Had to reverse it back to the parking spot. Was a bit confused on what to do. Turned out that i should have walked and given the key cards to the reception or dropped them in a box and just driven to the exit and that the exit gate opened automatically.

"Amazing staff (Diaz made it feel like home). Best food; in fact, the best we had in all Balkan countries. If you are in this village, do not miss this property."

Nothing

"Beautiful location, lots of options to entertain kids, full kitchen was convenient."

The carpets were dirty (but how could they be clean in a beach town?), but otherwise everything was fantastic.

"Perfect location if you don't mind walking a little bit. It was really quiet and relaxing. Joey was fantastic, and you can feel that they considered all sort of customer needs and details. Room is OK, and the breakfast was great."

"What a beautiful place to spend a week. It was perfect for me to relax and easy access to Apo Island"

Nothing

"The cabin has beautiful lake view and it’s very clean inside. My two children loved the heated swimming pool where you can buy wrist bands from reception to access. Boat rental to see the islands and to get to Risør. We have enjoyed our two nights stay."

"Workers are all gentle & generous; always smile on their face . Animation staff is top . Foods are very delicious & u find many varieties; the chef of the kitchen is exceptional. Thanks to Mouna & Thekra in the reception; they are very helpful."

Nothing

"The facilities are very well maintained. Plenty of activities are available. Quality of food is outstanding.the bread is delicious. Great location. What I disliked is the quality of the underwater life in the area and , while many staff members were smiling and willing to make your stay very pleasant, others were very distant and cold. It is a kids-friendly hotel so if you are looking for a calm place , you may not find here what you are looking for. Overall We would chose the same place again in the Grand Baie area"

Aucun.

"Lovely location just off the motorway, good dinner and breakfast options, nice staff. Nice room"

We never managed to get through to Spa staff when driving over so couldn’t make a booking

"It’s stunning. Beauty around every turn. One of the chillest places I’ve ever stayed at in my life."

They aren’t the best at communicating. During our stay the main restaurant was closed we had no idea till we tried to go eat. Wasn’t that the biggest deal because they own another restaurant at the bottom of the hill and took us to and from.

"During my honeymoon trip I got the privilege to stay at Ananea. Through the stay we experienced world class hospitality, exposed to breathtaking scenery, great f&b options and lots of water/land activities."

The only thing we missed was the experience of room service access anytime of the day or night. Some days dinning time frames seemed too short.

"There was a great breakfast - up to two dishes could be ordered for the selected time. The area is very well kept which should be the case for a golf field, that I could see from my window. It was silent all the time."

The only disadvantage was the cold temperature: I could not ejnjoy a table and terrace. But that is not about the great hotel. That is about November in Latvia!

"The location was amazing. The pool was perfect. The warm indoor pool was very cozy. The staff were so kind. All the restaurants were fantastic. Diversity and quality of food and beverage were on top of niveau. Very good guest parking. A very family and kid friendly resort."

I can not remember any "bad" thing about the hotel.

"Everything here is perfect. The resort is in a jungle setting, with fish, butterflies and birds. The Tree House villa we stayed in was perfect, with a floor for us and a floor for the kids. Everything was taken care of - from water and snacks to the pool and the restaurant. A perfect stay."

The villa pool is in constant shade. While it's perfect for us (no sun burns), it means the water temprature is always a bit too cold, which practically meant we spent our time in the (perfect) public pool, but never used our villa pool. It would be great if the villa pool had an option for heating.

"Great location, nice beach, very good food, versatile facilities, very good for families."

Organised tours available for guests from tourist agencies, for self organised guests rent-a-car is the only option for sightseeing. Some facilities require better maintenance.

"The beach at Divi was nice. The room was conveniently located. I loved the Fort Amsterdam Cafe."

We felt that the check in was a nightmare. It took much too long. Why provide two cards to receive two towels from somewhere else? How about having a person by the pool or beach doing that? The front desk seemed to be multitasking , making check in unusually long.

"Location, pool, stuff, wild elephant comes to hotel in the morning"

Do not expect new rooms, rooms are old but price is expected and service level is very high And also is good to have local money

"Location and accessibility for magical snorkelling and diving. Food, varied choices and delicious. Ice cream amazing. Staff friendly, helpful and always available for any queries you may have. We had a hut on the beach, awesome. A fantastic relaxed place to stay. We will definitely return."

Nothing really

"Our stay at this resort was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and impeccable service that continued throughout our visit. The property itself is stunning just as the pictures with beautifully maintained grounds, and elegant design that perfectly blends luxury with comfort. Our room was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully prepared, with high-end amenities. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate special requests and made our stay comfortable. What truly sets this resort apart is the exceptional service. Every team member we encountered was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel valued and cared for. The pool area was serene and immaculate. We left feeling refreshed and already planning our return. If you’re looking for a flawless getaway experience, this resort delivers in every possible way. Highly, highly recommended! ."

"Perfect location. Quiet countryside and no traffic"

No staff available to greet us and show us to our apartment. The internet was useless.

"Extremely clean, lots of amenities and perfect for families"

"Tantebane is a great place to rest, relax, and get away for a break. It’s safe, quiet, and a great place to recharge in nature. We have been here numerous times and always enjoy our time there ."

"The food was not good at all. Limited room services times and options. Buffett was not good; we ate the first night and then went to the mainland each night there after for dinner. Such an amazing location but nowhere to lounge or dine."

Day trippers were the resorts focus, maybe it was the time of year. Food and drink options were not good.

"Location: Julai’a beach is the best beach in kuwait."
