I was happy with my stay.

Met my expectations. A quiet room in an off the track location where I could carry out my bird watching and bird photography. Evening meals were good and the staff and locals always friendly.

Not a lot of options for food within vicinity and very basic accommodation.

Great location on a great beach, very quiet, lovely staff

Stayed in March 2024

Small groups of locals coming at sunset with their loud music boxes, forget about listening to the ocean waves

You will need quite some patience and understanding because of the electricity and water cuts, staff are good hearted but things like breakfast move slowly slowly, just enjoy , have a morning walk and swimming in birthday suit before..

The WiFi is not strong enough to sit on the beach

The staff are so friendly it felt like I was with family all the time. My luggage never arrived when I landed, so the owner Mr Kebba went above and beyond for me, outstanding service and the location is perfect

I actually extended my stay and after a week was bored with lack of variety at breakfast

Breakfast was free and was okay. Location was perfect on the beach

I've stayed here a couple of other times. The location is fantastic - it's right on a quiet fishing beach. Very relaxing and our kids loved it. Food was great and staff are lovely - we had a lovely stay

Cannot think of anything

Lovely staff and always looking out for me. It is exactly what I expected a basic but comfortable Gambian guest house. I will definitely consider visiting again.

We had the deluxe VIP room and had our own balcony that had a perfect view of the beach. The bed was massive and the water pressure was really strong. The location is perfect and so relaxing. Not many ppl bothering you and those that come to speak move on quickly of you are not interested in buying anything. The food was amazing and always freshly cooked. I had a thai yoga massage on the beach which was a great experience.

The location of Jungle Beach Resort is everything you want for relaxation, access to the beach and a gorgeous view! The dinner was delicious with generous portions. The breakfast was equally generous and part of the package! Coffee or tea, eggs and sausage with bread, butter and sweet options.

Check in took one hour, most of the time no water, no electricty (no light, no A/C, no cold beer, no WLAN, ...). When I ordered breakfast I had to 45 minutes, dinner took more than one hour, the whole was an horrible experience !

Nothing to mention

There is no ATM close by so make sure you bring enough cash to avoid extra trips.

Local place, beautiful garden with lots of birds and palm trees. Lovely 2 dogs and 2 cats on premises, all really friendly and sweet. Amazing staff, always smiling and willing to help. We stayed for 7 nights and it was great!

A warm welcome and goodbye by the staff. Hardly any communication with them. We needed to ask for towels the next day…One day there was no water in the shower. That can happen ofcourse but very uncomfortable and maybe for compensation they could have given a free drink or so. At the beach was hardly any staff and so we had to pick up our own drinks and snacks. Vendors come by with snacks like fruits and peanuts but they are with too many… Please take care of the litter and let visitors clean up their own junk…you have an amazing lodge with lots of opportunities!!! Go for it!!!

The location is amazing!!! Terrace at sea is amazing! Breakfast was okay.

Still it is a bit unclean, compared to the other beaches we saw in Gambia. Sometimes the smell of fish from the neighboring factory spreads quickly when the wind is right. Nevertheless, the Jungle Lodge is reasonably tidy but with some rubbish in the corners. The promised sea view of the Deluxe Suite can only be realized from the terrace past the pile of pallets. The whole lodge is pretty run down, more than we expected. We only stayed for 24 hours of our planed five nights. Unfortunately, we got stomach problems on the first afternoon after eating there and were therefore tied to the room, in which the promised wifi was not even there to be found. Around midnight the power went out completely on the entire beach, which of course can happen - but for us this meant to spend the night completely without water, without light, without a toilet etc. while being sick. It was an awful night for us due to several unfortunate circumstances. The entire area is probably also often affected by power cuts, but the Jungle Lodge has no emergency generator. For a short period of time these are tolerable conditions. But during our stay it lasted from the evening until late the next day and when the electricity couldn't be repaired in the morning either, we quickly decided that we wanted to leave immediately and didn't want to stay there for four nights longer in this situation and with the risk of even spending more days sick and without water & electricity. Unfortunately, this was not made possible for us so easily to leave. At first there was appeasement and delay and after hours of waiting and discussion, one manager showed up but just called another manager and after waiting for him to arrive and again talking and endless explanations he was rude and aggressive towards us. After a long and loud discussion, we got our money back and were allowed to leave the lodge.

The lodge is a nice part of the Paradise Beach, where you can enjoy the sun between a lot of palmtrees and relax nicely.

Have good car park and well secure for some to be able to stay overnight The place should be lively.

The place is not well maintained in this season. The staff are friendly but the time I went there the place look deserted and old

This is a budget hotel and was very over-priced for the basic facilities. They should either charge far less or upgrade the place which is in a beautiful location.

The location was beautiful and the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful but the standard of the rooms was very poor for the money. We had booked for 4 nights but moved out after the first night and moved up the coast to Sennagambia where, for the same price we got a far better room with access to lots more facilities and things to do.

A little piece of paradise, the grounds is beautiful little jungle on one side and the beach on the other. The rooms are nice, we had the family room and there was enough space for us. We had outside space too that overlooked the beach. Food is always cooked fresh and taste really good. The best part for me is the people their. Major and Andre are amazing. Always friendly and helpful, they helped to organise my neices birthday surprise party and joined us in the celebrations. The trip is worth it just for these guys. I can't wait to go back.

The horrendous smell from the Chinese fish factory at the north end of Sanyang Beach, carried on the northerly breeze. The whole place feels very run-down and could do with updating Sanyang Beach is not "Paradise". There are hustlers and a lot of half-built or shutdown properties on the beach. Doubtless Covid has not been kind, and hopefully the situation will improve.

Large room with enormous, comfortable bed. Room was very clean. Food and bar ok. We enjoyed the Gambian Drummers who were playing in the late afternoon. Be aware that this is really a backpackers place with volleyball on the sand etc. Probably the liveliest place on the beach.

The jungle beach resort is in paradise. We were treated like family and had the most amazing experience. Highly recommend.
