Tropic Gardens Hotel

I stayed here one night and decided not to renew. I will give you the pros and cons. You can make up your own mind. Pros: I paid 50 US dollars a night. The hotel is on the beach. The views are beautiful. It has a nice huge gym (open from 8 AM to 8 PM) which is basically sitting on top of the ocean. The views from the gym are spectacular - better than what you would get from a 400 dollars a night hotel in Hawaii. Free breakfast which included fried eggs, oat meal, sausages and tomatoes. You can sit outside and eat your breakfast with gorgeous views of the ocean. Cons: my room was really old with all kinds of water stains on the walls. There was no electric kettle or any equipment to make my own coffee/tea in the room. There is no safe. They say something like: "leave your valuables in a safe deposit box at the reception". The shower was ice cold. I used the shower at two different times, in the morning and after my work out and the water was ice cold on both occasions. There was no juice or fruits available at breakfast. I had to ask the waiter for milk, and I was brought a small glass of milk. The Wi-Fi is good in the room, but non existent as soon as you step out of the room. No Wi-Fi in the reception area or the gym. There is no water available in the gym. The sign says: "bring your own water and towel".

The hotel is absolutely visually stunning. The grounds are well maintained by some of the hardest working people you'll ever meet! The rooms are kept immaculate by the housekeeping staff. It's in a wonderful location overlooking the Atlantic ocean too. The breakfast is kind of a take on English breakfasts but kind of misses a little even though it is all cooked really well. When you come, Billy is your go to man. He helps out so much with requests for help and even found us a car to take us out for half the price of a taxi. If you use him, his nickname is happiness and a safe and considerable driver.

Seedy Touray is the best Customer care service provider I have ever met in the Gambia. He is excellent, makes sure you're looked after, makes sure you're comfortable and this is awesome 👌 and with a smile always on his face.. He is a great personality. Tropic garden hotel is an awesome place to be at peace with yourself in the Gambia. The Aura and the location is Superbly set. My kids and I have really enjoyed the two weeks we spent together there. Very friendly Staff. Until next time ...
