Very relax hotel, standaard are good for 7 days holiday. But for 2 weeks take a superior room you have some more space and luxury. In the resort are 2 pools, one near the beach and one silence pool. Food is good. There is enough green, trees, monkeys, and a lot of different birds in the park . The staff are very Friendly people. Outside the hotel there are enough restaurants and bars en enjoy. I love the hotel, but everybody is different ..enjoy your holiday 😀

Very nice location, directly at the strip. Remind yourself - this can not meet the levels of comfort we are used to in high-class resorts in Europe. But that's not why you go to The Gambia - you go for the Smiling Coast! Lots of birds, lots of monkeys too. Their two pools are very nice. Had a great time with my wife and kids.

We didn't stay at the hotel so can't comment on the rooms. We just went as dat visitors. You pay D500 for each adult that swims and D300 per child. Food isn't bad, but not the greatest, same for the cocktails. The pools are nice and the children really enjoyed themselves both days we visited. It's right next to the beach, where we took a lovely stroll along, but it isn't a lounging beach. Over all, we would visit again next time we are in Gambia.

The hotel is in an ideal location with lots of restaurants, bars and shops all within walking distance not to mention its on the beach. Staff were helpful and friendly, the room was basic but adequate, air conditioning was great and the shower was hot and clean. Food was good at the hotel but we eat out everyday because there was so much choice and its cheaper. Pools were nice and plenty of space. Had a great time and would go back for sure.

A bigger hotel than were used to in the Gambia. Our room was OK other than having to have the shower replaced on our first day. Our maid kept the room beautiful for the two weeks. Breakfast is the best we have had in the area. Pool and beach staff really helpful. Bar staff are a totally different kettle of fish. Getting a smile out of them was hard work. Evening meals here are absolutely average and like the beer, vastly overpriced. We will not be returning here again.

I had issues with my room,which it took 2 days for them to resolve. Once resolved, I could enjoy the hotel. It's a very large hotel in a very good location. It's within easy walking distance to many restaurants. The craft market is about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel grounds are beautifully landscaped. There are two pools. And beach chairs on the beach.

Best place to be in the whole Gambia. Amazing nature they take really good care, you can meet here some aminals monkeys on the trees, rare birds! Stuff is the most friendly in the whole country! Most of the people we met here they say they keep coming here back since 20years as this is best place to be

Great location, 1 minute onto a very busy strip with plenty of selection of restaurants and bars with lots of live music. Rooms are nice and very clean and are cleaned every day. Breakfast is a good selection and is a buffet style, help yourself. As you'd expect the staff are amazing and very friendly and the pools are clean with plenty of sunbeds and right on the beach. A visit from local monkeys most days is amazing and you get to see them feeding the Vultures of a morning Couldn't ask for more love it

Very basic accommodation Food average (The above may have changed since our holiday?) Lovely weather, wildlife Poor staff communication and attitude Not returning

It's a shame to read the current reviews on here. This being our 3rd stay her. 2018, 2019 and now February 2022. I shall let you read this with an experienced view. The reception is OK, however the staff were young and not that welcoming compared to a Juice guy. That's the welcome I should getting from the Hotel reception. The passport guy at the airport even welcomed us to The Gambia. No real guidance on where to go however as mentioned it was our 3rd visit to easy find our room without having to pay for someone to take our bags. Due to flight times the money exchange was not open in the reception but there was plenty out on the main road. Having a local friend to haggle the exchange rate was good. We got a better rate from the listed one. The food is still as it was 3 years ago for breakfast with a full range of cooked, fresh foods and fruit. Cakes and cereals. The only comment on this was the lack of eggs cooked ready and the food wasn't very hot. It would also be nice considering what the world has been through if holiday makers use the tongs instead of fingers!!. That's exactly how germs are spread. We carried sanitizer around with us and used it regularly. Face masks are not mandatory but some staff were wearing them. Our temperatures were also taken on arrival so some measures were in place. N Block compared to some others is alittle tired, and we did struggle with a heavy sliding door. But we spoke to the cleaning team who said they would get someone to look at it. The hot water took along time to come through, but a warm shower can be just as nice. The staff are very friendly. Treat them with respect and they will return it to you 10 fold !! The staff recognised us even after a 3 year gap because of Thomas Cook going bust and Covid. It's great to see a happy friendly face. Some haven't been so lucky to get their jobs back. Covid has affected every country and they are grateful to see tourists coming back. For most without us they struggle. The hotel was the busiest out of them all along the coast. The kariba was practically empty and also the Balafon not much better. More people means more staff, more entertainment etc etc. The pool is very clean and daily activities are starting to come back. There are loads of sun loungers without the battle to secure one in the morning. Make friends with the beach/pool assistant and he WILL save you one if you want it the next day. The traders are up and down all down but just say no Thankyou and they keep moving. Same with the juice guys. Their juices are lovely and refreshing so try one. 😊 but they will all be over if you stop or show the slightest of interest. Remember, if you don't want it. Just say NO. They take the hint but please be nice. The daily vulture feeds are not currently being done but we don't mind. The smell of rotting carcus wasn't pleasant. They still circle and land so its worth a visit to see them. The street restaurants are all open, some new ones and acouple that have ceased trading some nice modern shops to have opened outside the hotel too and a convenience shop. We are here till the 18th February and enjoying being back here. 😀

We really enjoyed our time here. The rooms were good enough. But everything else was excellent! The breakfast buffet had plenty of options and the optional purchases were well priced for a resort and served in ample time. The pools were relaxing, the local cats, monkeys, and birds were friendly. And the staff were very friendly and accommodating. While at the Senegambia we weren't bothered by hawkers and the experience was very serene. We would definitely come back if revisiting The Gambia. The power did go out multiple times while we were there, but it came right back on immediately. So overall that wasn't a turnoff considering it is a developing nation. There were a lot of Brits and Dutch there. But any Americans could fit right in as well. The bird watching tour was $40 USD pp and absolutely one of the best I have been on. The whole experience was very pleasant for 2-3 days. We could've spent a week there!

Hotel is clean and located between the beach and road with bars and restaurants but beware thieves operate in this hotel ,had a mobile phone,a t shirt,and believe it or not a pack of chewing gum stolen from our locked room only discovered the phone was missing prior to leaving, reception were vaguely interested but did not offer any help,shame because the rest of the stay was great

Our housekeeper majaw jobe was brilliant very helpful and cleaned the room to a high standard every day. He made us feel very welcome. Beach bar staff and Frances beach attendant were all very helpful. Will be back again soon.

Very good hotel. Perfect location. Amazing pool and beach. Very kind staff.

Airconditioned spacious rooms. Many relaxation spots. Great breakfast. Access to the beach. Quiet Swimming Pool and Beach Swimming Pool. Very good place for a vacation.

This is the worst hotel i have stayed in. I would not recommend coming here. The staff is very rude. The food takes way too long and there is so many bugs in the hotel room. The beds are very uncomfortable they feel like sleeping on rocks. The bathroom gets very wet because of the shower. They also just barge in while you’re still sleeping them knock only one time then just walk right in its very annoying. This place should be shut down if i could ZERO stars

Great hotel. No 5 stars, because when we arrived the a/c was not working. So we asked for a different room. They told us there where no rooms available. With a lot of pressure we got another room ?! So they lied to us.

The hotel is well located in the heart of the turistic area of Banjul. The area of the hotel is impressive and sometimes I got lost inside. It has well preserved gardens, have a great variety of birds and monkeys, 2 pools, one quiet pool, private space on a beach ⛱️ (protected against the peddlers), tennis 🎾 and volleyball 🏐 courts, sourvenir shops with decent prices and quality stuff and finally every-day interesting activities. What is missing is room service. The restaurants do not have an area with air conditioner, so the only option is to eat outside with 40 degrees real feel or the not existent room service. Unfortunately the people do not have the mentality to understand that! Another point required is to create a "feeding point" for the monkeys and fauna inside. Banning feed the hungry animals inside is a retrograde 😫 policy, because they made a mess with the trash cans. A feeding point can save this and they also can sell the food for the animals inside. Finally, in the control of breakfast, some days is a foul-tempered old lady that urgently require to be removed from client service, not possible to continue there.

The best local surfers in the Gambia all around Gambia 🇬🇲🏄🏿‍♂️ and also we make surfing 🌊 trips at Bakau And south Gambia 🇬🇲 also Bato kunku saying kartong and Tugerang at down to the mosque it the longest 🌊 waves in the Gambia

The location on the ocean is very nice. We liked the breakfast, the beach bar and restaurant, and that monkeys come by to visit from the neighboring monkey park. The staff is very nice. Some of the rooms are a bit old, but for the Gambia, we thought it was very nice.

A wonderful hotel with friendly staff and great selection of different food for breakfast. Ideal location for the strip too with lots of restaurants and bars. Staff always friendly and helpful and a BIG difference from the Palma Rima hotel... Really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book here again as great value and room cleaned spotlessly every day :)

Very close to beach and amenities. Quiet pool lifeguard lovely. Room basic but clean. There was air conditioning. Great to watch the feeding of the vultures everyday at the hotel.

The hotel staff were friendly and obliging. The rooms are quite basic, but the grounds compensated for it. Choice of breakfast is immense. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Great location in the centre of the nightlife but when you walk into the hotel and the grounds it turns peaceful. Was located near the volleyball Court which was only used once in the week i was there but was overtaken by monkeys and birds on more than one occasion. Noone bothers you and I felt safe in the grounds just walking about taking in the sun. Nice little private beach.

Best place I've been to in The Gambia. Great pools and food, especially at the seaside pool restaurant. Some suggestions: - Have a washing machine available for the guests somewhere. - Dedicate a couple of tables in a room somewhere as office space for the guests during the day. Both should be possible given that the place is huge.

Well it's only the start of the holiday but so far no complaints. Staff are friendly and helpful. Was worried about the breakfast as other comments left weren't good. Can honestly say the breakfast here you cannot fault it. You have everything you need including a live station. We would recommend this hotel and definitely stay again.

The standard rooms need updating, you should upgrade your room before you book. The outdoor area is beautiful and you will encounter different species i.e monkeys. The chef is amazing and he always had my strawberry smooties ready. The man at reception is very helpful and sorted out any issues I had. I did walk down to the five star Hotel, 2 mins away, but i don't think it is worth spending more as Senegambia hotel is similar. Senegambia has more people and a atmosphere. So yes Senegambia is worth booking, but upgrade your room.

Great hotel, really beautiful gardens. Brilliant pool especially for the little ones. Service was great and all the staff were so friendly and helpful, definitely recommend

Had a great time birdwatching with Tijan who works from the Senegambia doing the vulture feeding, and bird watching trips. He took us all around Coastal Gambia on very successful trips. He is very talented, and I'd highly recommend Tijan. Don't be afraid to ask for him!

Derelict and run down. Needs serious renovations. The beach is basically a trash heap. The best thing about it are the occasional street beach dogs that walk by.

Very cozy experience with the Atlantic ocean right beside your swimming pool. Great exposure to sunlight, good 👍 food with the bar right beside you.

At 11:30am every day they are feeding hooded voltures there. I was jus passing through the hotel to the beach (with the permission) and have to say that the hotel looks absolutely amazing. It is huge, quiet and relaxing. The stuff inside is very friendly (I have asked for direction several times as it is seriously big)

Have stayed at Senegambia every time we visit Gambia apart from once. The rooms are comfortable. The maids come around every morning to clean the rooms. The gardens are spectacular and well kept. There is a vulture display every morning when it is feeding time. There is a good selection of foods to choose from at breakfast. You sometimes get a visit from the monkeys. They can be quite amusing! It is nice that they have 2 swimming pool areas. One is more busy than the other. We use the quiet pool. The staff are friendly and helpful.
