It is a nice stay, very spacious rooms. Friendly staff. Nice location, close to the *****, but not against it. There are a lot of insects in Gambia and unfortunately you sometimes encounter them in your hotel room. They clean it thoroughly, but they can't prevent everything.

It was better than I imagined. A welcoming atmosphere was felt by many of the staff. In front of the sea, there was security right next to the beach chairs, so I was able to spend a relaxing time with peace of mind. The only disappointment was that the shower in the room only had cold water. There was hot water in the sink, but...

I had a great weekend at your hotel. @balafon is really great. I hope to come back very soon. Special mention to your staff, especially Fa Bintou and Codou. The entire Sonatel Group pays tribute to you. 😇😍✌🏾

What’s not to like here. Have stayed a lot of hotels in The Gambia over the years and this is the first that ticks ALL of the boxes. Rooms are large, very comfortable romantic 4 poster bed. The grounds are extensive with beautiful swimming pools which are spotlessly cleaned every day. The location is right on the beach so breakfast in the restaurant is a lovely start to the day. An unseen bonus is the security, they are there 24/7 and we felt really safe day or night. The staff as other reviews have said are great and even the Manager is often around and interacts with the guests. 🙏. I also saw another review saying breakfast was repetitive😳, the breakfast on offer during my stay was extensive and as varied as you wish to make it. Highly recommended hotel .!

The best part of my my stay was walking out my room into my beautiful swim-up pool in the mist of the beautiful trees and ocean view lovely foood everything I ever eat here is delicious. Very nice employees all around great experience,though it would be great if the pool fee for extra guest wasn’t D700 per person after you already spend so much on your room
