    What a beautiful little gem of a place. Spotlessly clean. Fabulous friendly staff and host Libby. Beautiful views of the beach with easy access and use of an outdoor shower. Very comfortable sunloungers which are set out really well to allow for personal space. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. Roots makes an excellent relaxing day out from the hustle bustle of some other tourist areas. Wishing Libby every success.

    Great bar service with super waiters who can’t do enough for you. Excellent food brought to the sun bed, or eat on the terrace. Good range of drinks to accompany the food. Peaceful, calm & freshly painted with a stunning sunset from the top terrace. Highly recommend the lovely owner Libby & her team for a great day out. Will definitely return every year we visit Gambia!!

    Roots beach bar and restaurant was a wonderful place to spend a leisurely afternoon. The staff could not have been more helpful - nothing was too much trouble! Special thanks to Libby for making this such a welcoming place to visit. The views over the beach and the ocean are stunning, the food was fantastic (and excellent value for money too).This was a lovely place to visit and I’ll definitely return during my stay in the Gambia. Highly recommended :)

    Very nice food and friendly staff. We had the grilled chicken and lady fish. Both were cooked very well. The chips were made fresh. Meals and drinks are both good value for money.

    (Translated by Google) A very cool seat reservation. Comfortable sun loungers, umbrellas, under the feet grass and not sand, shower somewhere you can rinse after swimming in the ocean. Good food and fast service. Clean toilets. You can even use the massage Kenlungtank does. I do not know if a well-written name but something like this 😁 is over an hour of pleasure. It was a bit far away from my hotel but it was worth going even 40 minutes because it's a great place. I guess I did not take photos of the restaurant / bar to be honest. Nice holiday (Original) Bardzo fajna miejscówka. Wygodne leżaki, parasole, pod stopami trawa a nie piach, prysznic gdzieś można się opłukać po kąpieli w oceanie. Dobre jedzenie i szybka obsługa. Czyste toalety. Można nawet skorzystać z masażu który robi Kenlungtank. Nie wiem czy dobrze napisane imię ale coś koło tego 😁 to ponad godzina przyjemność. Trochę daleko było od mojego hotelu ale warto było przejść nawet 40 minut bo to super miejsce. Chyba nie zrobiłam zdjęcia restauracji/baru się polecam szczerze . Miłego wypoczynku

Maarrr helaas Geen parasol op het terras en bij vragen hierom was het helaas teveel moeite voor meneer . Werd wel gebracht maar met een sneer. 2 sterren want t bier en wijn waren goed koud.
